Student路 Needs Demand Wider Ministry Make Distinction Between Protesters and Radicals WASHINGTON (NC) - "T!\e legitimate campus protester" is a student of a different breed from the small number of "hard core radicals" who participated in campus demonstrations this Spring, FBI officials said .here. FBI spokesmen claim the distinction between the two is pointed up by intelligence reports noting that less than half of one per cent of all U. S. college students are adherents of subversive organizations seeking to advance international communism or the revo'lutionary overthrow of the government. "We must be careful of our facts and not indiscriminately label those whom we do not personally like or whose opinions are unpopular as extremists," FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said in a recent discussion of extremist groups. "We must remember that many moderate students also are protesting about key issues of the day. We should not label these legitimate protests as extremism and therefore dismiss them from consideration." He cautioned against countering extremism with extremism saying:
"One of the dangers of extremism 011 campuses is that it will engender anti-democratic vigilante and illegal actions against this minority. These extremists cill1 and must be handled under due process of the law." . Here is the FBI's appraisal of main groups of campus extremists: .

Its officers survey the crowds which are always up in any Cape community in the Summer. One of them, more popularly known as Jack, is a part-timer from Winona, Minn.; his full name is John Schoper. Few know that Jack actually is Brother John Schoper, a seminarian attached to Sacred Hearts Monastery on Adams Street in Fairhaven. Brother John is a fullyuniformed patrolman who wears full police regalia, including a revolver.
He is one of severai members of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts who have taken outside jobs as part of their training to serve the order. Seminarians like Brother John earn tuition during the Summer and go back to Sacred Hearts' houses in Washington, D. C. and Winona in the Fall. Lay brothers, on the other hand, stay at the monastery in Fairhaven after having benefitted greatly, by way of practical experience, in their outside work.

Sister Emphasizes Need Of Ministry on Campus WASHINGTON (NC) - The new assistant director of the U. S. Cathoiic Conference (USCC) campus ministry division is a nun-for a very good reason. . Sister Sheila Doherty, also director of the education for the Maryland province of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, will have the job of convincing bishops, priests and religious order superiors that more women religious are needed in the campus ministry." Though some 1,200 men are involved in the campus ministry, less than 100 religious women participate, said Sister Sheila; herself a campus chaplain at the University of North Carolina for a year. Blue-eyed Sister Sheila, who was also director of admissions at Trinity College for 14 years, thinks of her job not in terms of feminine liberation, but as' "extending the work of religious women in education." She noted there are three
times more women religious than men religious - which means a larger personnel force to draw from-and that many Sisters are highly qualified for the campu!: ministry since they are trained to be educators. Administering the sacramenls to coli."ge students is something only' a priest can do, however, so one option Sister Sheila will suggest to Church officials is a "cooperative team ministry." Under this plan, dioceses with a clergy shortage could assign a priest with regular parish duties to serve part-time on camp'us. A full-time nun campus minister could handle the bulk of administrative duties, counseling, and mingling with students at meals and meetings. The new approach to the campus ministry is broader than the campus center, Sister Sheila said. Rather than "sit there and hold the fort," she said, "you move with the students." Though campus chaplains are Turn to Page Six
Explains Role of Laity In Giving Communio'n ALBANY (NC) - A pastoral letter from Bishop Edwin B. Broderick was read in all churches of the Albany diocese to allay "concern to some of our people" about a program of having men and women of the laity distribute Holy Communion. The bishop emphasized "the doctrinal essenc:e of Eucharistic belief remains uncJtanged," although a number of changes in disciplinary laws-mitigation of the Communion fast, introduction of evening Masses, reception of Communion under both species-have occured in recent years. "This departure from a tradition of over 1,000 years may cause concern to some of our people. Such an initial reaction to this new legislation may be offset by this important historical consideration: in the first centuries of Christianity, the laity handled the Eucharist and even carried' the Holy Sacrament to their homes and administered it to the sick," the bishop wrote.
For nine centuries this seemed to be the customary way to communicate the Body of the Lord. In later centuries, when gr~ater emphasis was placed on the divinity of Christ and His real presence in the Eucharist, the distribution was entrusted exclusively to ordained ministers," he continued. "The present change in the disciplinary law and return to ancient usage shows forth clearly the dignity of the baptized Christian, consecrated and made holy by his incorporation into Christ," the bishop said. Bishop Broderick said he received a three-year permission from the Holy See, allowing men and women of the laity to distribute Communion in parishes where the service is needed and when it will expedite the celebration of Mass. He emphasized the men and women will be selected by him, will be "persons of excellent character" and will be commissioned as "Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion."

Melkite-rite' Catholics said discord among Latin-rite Catholics will end only when collegiality is established more .firmly. "The spirit of confrontation current among many Catholic clergy and even hierarchy today is due to the loss of the sense of collegilility in the Western Church," said Archbishop Joseph Tawil, exarch for the U. S. Melkite-rite Catholics. "When the West finds means of reconciling in current life the doctrine of .the Roman primacy with the tradition of episcopal collegiality, then will the Church rediscover its hilrmony and balance," the 56-year-old archbishop told some 500 delegates at the 11 th annual Melkite Association' of North American convention here. . The prelate, a native of Damascus, Syria, said the Western Church had lost collegiatlity and only since 'Vatican Council . II tried to rediscover it. , "The Eastern Church has Imown it, lived it and put it into practice' for centl,lries," he continued. "The patriarchial institution of the East is not disassociated from the collegiality of the bishops and no matter how far back we look, we find it in the East in the synod of bishops presided over by the one principal bish<?p, the patriarch." Archbishop Tawil, who was installed in his post in this country last March in Boston, said the cause of much difficulty in the West stems from the fact that "since the great separation of East and West, the Roman Church has walked alone,and since that time the exercise of collegiality in this Church began to decrease 'and eventually to cease altogether." The indispensable association of the laity in the government of the Eastern Church was underscored by the archbishop. He said the Melkite-rite patriarch who decreed union with the Holy See in 1724 was elected by both clergy and laity. Until the first quarter of'this century, he said,the laity had_ a voice in the election of Melkite-rite bishpps. Even today, he

Observers Speculate on Effects Of Conscientious' Objecti'onRuling WASHINGTON (NC) - Three predictions, separate but all reo lated to the draft status of conscientious objectors, have been given currency here in recent days. They are: That the recent Supreme Court decision regarding conscientious objection is going to raise many problems in its application. That application of th~ ruling. could hasten the end of the draft and the. start of an ~1l-v6lunteer army. That, while it is not official, plans for ending the draft and starting a volunteer military force are going to be put aside for the present. The Supreme Court decision of June 15 did away with the religious requirement for conscientious objector status and said that "deeply held moral, ethical or religious beliefs" were sufficient bases for granting exemption from military service. Difficult Decisions Now the Selective' Service System has issued guidelines for local draft boards in the application of the ruling. They put the emphasis on the sincerity and depth of conviction of the individual claiming conscientious objection, and give the local boards the job of establishing this sincerity. It is generally agreed that this calls upon local draft boards to make "subtle and difficult" de~ cisions. Some assert it will lead inevitably to an uneven application of the ruling from place to place, and across the country. Still others fear that despite warning to draft boards to see that "the learned and glib" do not get a particular advantage, "the artic-
ulate and educated" would seem to have the best chance to avoid the draft, should they choose to do so. At the same time, others point out, local draft boards are being asked to do only what juries are constantly asked to do in court, in judging the .sincerity of witnesses and defendants. The very problems which the application of the Supreme Court ruling may raise could hasten. action on a proposal in Congress to establish an all-volunteer army by July I, 1971. Constitutionally Sound But some knowledgeable observers say that information which is coming to light may compel the putting aside of the all-volunteer army for the present. They' point to the greatly increased cost of military manpower and the belief in some quarters that the draft is necessary to produce volunteers. They say it cost $13.9 billion a year for the pay and benefits of 2.6 million men in the armed services in 1965; that the cost for the same benefits for the same number of men is now $39 billion, and that the military force is now up to 3.1 million. They also say a study has shown that most men enlisting in the armed services today have low draft numbers' and could face an. early call-up. Almost all the discussion one hears holds that the Supreme' Court ,ruling is constitutionally sound, .and that there will' be need f6r a large defense establishment of some kind for as far into the future as anyone can see. 'The problem could boil down to meetin-g the demands of the latter while conforming to the dictates of the former.
Prelate Says Permanent Deacons Bond of Gospel With Modern Man MEXICO CITY (NC)-Permanent deacons "will establish a visible bond of the Gospel with modern men in their own culture and environment," Bishop Ernest L. Unterkoefler of Charleston, S.C., told an international group of men dedicated to the promotion of religious vocations. Speaking to the 28th convention of Serra International, Bishop Unterkoefler, chairman of the U.S. Bishops' Committee on the Permanent Diaconate, said "the deacon in' our time has an unchartered future." • Although the role of the permanent deacon is "somewhat similar" to that of a priest, his life-style is "vastly different," he said. He told the Serra convention that many deacons "will be exercising their ministry on a parttime basis," while remaining at their secular jobs. He stressed that a deacon should not be thought of as an auxiliary to a priest, but rather as "a servant of the community of the faithful who, as a memb~r of the hierarchy, works' in direct communication with the bishop." Great Need He said the tasks assigned to deacons should be as varied as the men involved, and based on each man's "genius, skill, education, and spiritual resources." Bishop Unterkoefler said he saw a great need for deacons "in the missionary areas of the U. S." and in the service of "the poor of the inner city."
. Smalnness There is nothing small in the service of God. . St. Francis de Sales
Many, he said, will work in their own communities. "Some of the men in training are the natural leaders of their neighborhoods," he told the Serra convention. Deacons can also assist priests in baptizing, bringing the Viati· cum to the dying, and distributing Communion, he added. The bishop said the rediscovery of the diaconate became inevitable with the beginnings of liturgical reform and Church reo newal. . Task of Priests More than 2,000 laymen, 200 priests, and 35 bishops attended the convention here. Bishop Juan Torres Oliver of Ponce, Puerto Rico, commenting on the "so-cal1ed rebellious Latin American Church," told the Serrans that it is not the task of priests to fight, but to preach the Gospel'. "Those of our brothers in the Church who take up guns to' fight _in the hills have lost the concept of what the priesthood is," he said. "They have forgotten the concept of Vatican II, which stresses the fact that the first duty of a 'priest is preach the Word of God." '.'Don't you think that St. Paul, in his time, saw the terrible torture of slaves?" he asked. "And yet his only weapon-his only sword-was the Gospel." Earlier Archbishop Marco G. McGrath, C.S.C., of Panama addressed the group, calling for Church unity and an increase in dialogue l?etween bishops and priests and between priests and layme". Dr.. Charles J. Weigel, a physician from River Forest, III., was elected president o'f Serra International.

Seek Family Planning Aid for All Women WASHINGTON (NC)-Family planning aid, including birth control pills and other contraceptives, would be made available to American women who cannot afford them, if a bill passed here by the Senate becomes law. " The Office of Economic Opportunity has estimated that about five million American women of child.bearing age are in need of subsidized family planning services. The shortage of such services was documented two years ago by the OEO. The bil\, passed by senators' voice vote without debate or dissent, authorizes spending $991.2 million over the next five years to increase birth control and population research. In addition to distribution of contraceptives, it also seeks improved administration of related population programs in the Department 'of Health Education and Welfare. Accompanying it was a report emphasizing that the legislation includes explicit guidelines to insure that family planning services and information will be received only on a voluntary basis. The acceptance of such services, it added, cannot be made a prerequisite to eligibility for any other financial medical assistance.
The couple' were married June 28, 1920 at St. Kilian's Church in New Bedford and are the parents of three daughters: Mrs. Alice Currie of Thompsonville, Conn.; Mrs. Edna Frates of the Rockdale Avenue residence in New Bedford and Mrs. Helen Cote of New London, Conn. A special dinner, complete with wedding cake baked at the home, was served to the couple and their daughter Edna while a chorus of sisters entertained with appropriate songs, accompanied by Sister St. Ida at the portable organ. Numerous cards, gifts and floral arrangements were received from members of the family and the sisters and employees of the home which all went to making it a day to be remembered by the happy couple.
KANSAS CITY (NC)-A new stance was taken here in a court fight to preserve Missouri's abortion statutes-a petition to intervene on behalf of the unborn. Dr. Denis Cavanagh of St. Louis-University medical school asked a U. S. district court for permission to intervene as repre.sentative and guardian ad litem of unborn children who may be affected adversely by a suit 'filed May 15 which seeks to invalidate the state abortion laws. In the petition, Dr. Cavanagh, chairman of the medical school's gynecology department, said present laws were enacted for protection of unborn and they would be deprived of life without the statutes. Such a deprivation would violate rights guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution, the petition asserts. The suit seeking to invalidate the laws claims they deprive a woman of her constitutional right to determine whether she will bear a child. The suit was filed by four' physicians, three clergymen and three married women of childbearing age. Similar suits have been filed in a number of states throughout the country in an effort to overthrow abortion laws. Five attorneys, members of the legal department, Missouri Catholic Conference, filed the petition on behalf of Dr. Cavanagh and the unborn.

Michigan Pastor Resigns to Help Parish Council ROYAL OAK (NC) - Father Hector J. Saulino stepped down from the pastorate of St. Dennis church here to become an associate pastor in Grosse Pointe because he said he could not adjust to working with St. Den,~ nis' new parish council. But his resignation was not in protest over the new council. In fact, Father Saulino worked to set it up. , "There has been a wonderful love affair between me and this parish . . . I do not want to retire. But I realize I would find it difficult to adjust to the new role I must now play with a parish council. "Our council members are all fine people. But they must learn to find their new identity," the priest added. "Rather than upset this wonderful relationship we have had, and so the parish' council concept can work, I feel it best for a new, pastor and council members to learn their new roles together, to find themselves," he said. "I just know I could not adjust ... mostly because of my many years of being pastor and making the final decisions," he added. Father Saulino, a Detroit pastor for 27 years, made one other point on his departure: he does not believe in being co-pastor with another priest. "I do not believe in it," he remarked, emphasizing that "one person must ultimately make the decisions."

Goes' Underground, Vows Revolution MILWAUKEE (NC) - A Carmelite priest who disappeared during his trial on charges of destroying Selective Service records in Chicago vowed to work for a revolution in the U. S. from a "hidden and secure position." Father Nicholas J. Riddell, O.C.D., made the promise in a two-page message given to the Milwaukee Journal by Father Henry Mahaney, O.F.M., Cap., a priest active with the National Welfare Rights Organization. Currently a fugutive from justice, Father Riddell was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his part in the May 25, 1969, Chicago 15 draft board raid .. Another fugitive, Linda Quint, relayed a similar message through Father Mahaney to the Journal. The priest's statement said he would have "endured prison" if he had been allowed a political forum in court. But he added that by being tried as a criminal rather than as a political prisoner, he had been denied his constitutional rights. .

Something Must Be Done About the last thing the officials and people of the City of New Bedford need is a rehashing of the tensions that exist in that city. ' There has been tragedy. There has been viol~nce. There is certainly still frustration and anger. The Catholic Welfare Bureau of the Greater New Bedford Area has extended all facilities of the Diocese of Fall River. The Diocese has given monies to tr~ to assist programs on'a neighborhood basis that would show that someone does care. Iridividuarpriests and Sis,ters have worked to try to alleviate some of the pressures that exploded so unhappily in recent days., The problems are undoubtedly too great for any :one person or anyone group to solve. What is surely needed is a dialogue among members of the black community and city fathers, and state and federal officials to draw up a list of pnorities and to get to work on these right away. Talk is necessary pll ~~iminary to any activity. But there' does come a time IWhen talk must lead to activity or else the problems become an exercise in rhetoric.

Their needs must be met, their legitimate complaints listened to, their desires for a better life appreciated and found worthy of community effort. This must be talked about, yes.

The Pope celebrated Mass in the new chapel in the presence of exiled Ukrainian-rite Cardinal Josip Slipyi, Bishop Paul Marcinkus from the Chicago archdiocese, who is secretary of the Vatican Bank and a Lithuanian by origin and other prelates. After the Mass the Pope spok(:! and Bishop Marcinkus translated his remarks into English. Praising Lithuanian immi'grants from around the world who had collected funds to decorate the chapel, Pope Paul said the dedication was a "verYvPious and very significant event."

Priest Asserts Play Offensive
WASHINGTON (NC) - Selective Service head Curtis W. Tarr issue:! new guidelines here designed to help local draft boards determine the validity of conscientious objector claims. The guidelines will fill a gap' create:! in draft regulations by a recent Supreme Court decision that Selective Service registrants did not have to claim traditional religious' beliefs to qualify' for conscientious objector status. Tarr said that uQder the new rule, an applicant for conscientious objector status 'must prove that: . He is sincerely opposed to all wars, not just a specific war. He has consulted "some system of belief." ' He has reached his decision through some "rigorous kind of training." .
Tarr warned local draft board members that it is not up to them to decide whether or not an applicant makes sense, only whether he is sincere. He emphasized that belief in God or membership in a cnurch can no longer be ,used to deny a man conscientious objector status. Opposition to all war, traditionally one of the criteria for determining conscientious objection, has come under attack from Catholic. t.heologians and others who believe that application of just war principles allow a man to receive conscientious objector status for opposing any given'war. The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the selective conscientious objection question in its Fall session.

Ab'olish Abstinence DUBLIN (NC)-The Irish bishops have announced the abolition of the traditional mandatory Friday abstinence for Ireland's three million Catholics. The bishops, however, said they hope that Catholics will continue to practice the weekly abstinence as a voluntary penance.
in 1933 was appointed rector of the North American College in Rome in 1935, serving until 1940 when Italy entered World War II and the college was closed. 'Installed as fifth bishop of Davenport in 1945, Bishop Hayes paid particular interest to the problems of small towns and rural areas during his 21-year tenure. H'e served as president of the National Catholic Rural Life Conference; . encouraged priests' study groups in rural problems, and installed an agricultural curriculum at St. Ambrose College here, first of its kind at a Catholic college. Under his leadership the diocese's educational facilities, from college to grade school' levels, expanded rapidly. He established a Catholic central high school system in eight communities, plus construction of 16 !lew elementary schools. Elementary and r.igh school students in-
creased from 9,000 to 15,000 during his administration. He was among the first American bishops to establish a Papal Volunteer program in his diocese after Pope John XXIII in 1960 called for volunteers to serve the Church in Latin America.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Father Edward Flannery, executive secretary of the secretariat for Catholic-Jewish relations of the 13ishops' CommitteE: for Ecumenical and InterrE'ligiolls Affairs, declared here that thE' traditional Oberanlâ&#x201A;Ź'rgall Passion Play is offensivE' in its portrayal of Jews. The pribt pointed out that portions of thâ&#x201A;Ź' play, performr<l every 10 ypun: in Bavaria, "do not correspond to the text of the ~jospels." , , He addt'l1 that tht'y also do not confol'lll to the spirit of the Secorid Vatic:an Council's statement on' the Jewish people and with norms for Jewish-Catholic relations laid down by the U.S, bishops in 1&57 Basic Purpose "Eminent Catholic as well as Protestant and' Jewish leaders and scholars have insisted that, despite ,some minor changes, the present text of the Oberammergau play still portrays Jews in an offensive manner and remains a potential source of anti-Semitic feelings," Father Flannery said. Hither FlannE'ry's statement concluded: "Passion plays should be considered not as a question of Catholic-Jewish amity alone, but also as a problem of authentic Catholic spirituality. Their aim should be to increase in the hearts of their audience a greater love of God and of all mankind. "If they do not do so, they fail griev6u'sly in their basic purpose and become instead a source of scandal and ill will,"

Protest' En'voy To Vatican WASHINGTON (NC) - The Seventh-day Adventist Church in North America has protested President Nixon's naming Henry Cabot Lodge as his personal envoy to the Vatican.. In a statement to the President, the Adventists reiterated their historic position of separation of church and state and said that Nixon did not honor that separation when he appointed Lodge to the special post. "The history of the past serves as a warning against combining religious and political organizations to serve either political or religious ends," the Adventists said. The Pope's appeal for peace and his position among heads of state "is not based on the fact that he is the head of a sovereign state," they said, "but rather on the fact that he is the head of a worldwide religious organization." The statement said that "in the unique recognition afforded Roman Catholicism, the Pre'sident announces his support of a different code, one reminiscent of the continental policies and alliances from which our forefathers fled ..

Poses Problem for Grower . By Marilyn and Jose.,h Roderick Right now most of our garden looks more like a jungle than a garden. It is always very' difficult to kecip the garden from looking overgrown and messy·during tHe. lush-growth period of mid-Summer. Many flowering plants have gone but retain their ' foliage and many pf the Fall R~gional Recipes , flowering plants are making I know New England cooking growth. We have. been thin- quite well but what of the other ning out the garden since Spring flowering but we still have much too much foliage. Most of these problems can be solved through good planning and ruthless thinning, both of which are difficult especially if you have.a Spring' garden. The trick, of course, is to keep areas of the garden primarily for seasonal bloom, but most of us try to keep something in bloom in all of the garden for most of the season. Difficult Decision . One of my problems right now has to do with the fact that my garden has been diminished because of the addition to the house. As a result we transplanted some of our lilies, roses and other plants as quickly as possible last Fall to keep them alive and .to try to'save what we could. At this point they 'are arranged helter skelter, adding to the forest look. We have reached a crucial point at which we will have to st~rt making some decisions as . to which flowers we will grow and which will have to go by the wayside; a difficult decision for every gardener but one which has to be made as the garden becomes smaller and smaller. . Our only ,alternative would seem to be to grow those flowers which grow singly, such as roses and lilies, 'and to avoid those which get their effect in masses of color over large areas of the garden. , In the Kitchen My mother has been on a cross country tour and while I envy her the chance to see all the wonderful places in this country;' I envy her even more the chance to taste the varied cuisine that makes up the foods of America. No other country has b~en able to select the best from so many other nations. Truly we have been a melting pot in more ways than one. Just in the small city I live in I have mentioned the variety of foods available' to cook or to eat already prepared. The Italian pizzas and chewy, wartP breads, the Jewish bagels and. Nova Scotia locks, the flat Synan breads and exotic spinach pies and the Portuguese sweet. breads and chourica-all available in an area of less than a'· mile-a gourmet's delight. If so .much is available in one small· city, think of the diversity from coast to coast. In New England' we know well the luscious lobsters, crunchy shrimp and other jewels - of the sea..

Generally women greet the new Fall fashions with pleasure and joy but this year the topic of conversation is "what in heaven's name are we going to wear; nothing looks appealing." , Neat, Comfortable While this is not entirely true, what is true is that more and more females are saying "we are going to buy pantsuits." It seems like only yesterday that many of us objected to this look also but quite soon we found out that a pant outfit looks neat, feels comfortable, and is a pretty safe style this Fall in comparison to the, hemline swing. , Women have found that these pant outfits make wonderful travel wardrobes; ,busy young mothers find them 'indispensable wear for transporting their offspring back and forth on those 'one hundred and one errands, and even some of the offices, in the more cosmopolitan cities, are permitting their secretaries to wear them to the office. (Certainly they would be less of an att,ention getter on the job than mini~ have been.) Since the beginning of time women have been' concerned with, their appearance. Today, •..;;t~ :lll the adoration of youth, women find it even more important to adorn themselves in clothes that will improve their appearance; but with the new longuette most of us are going to look- older.

11,000 Nuns Engaged In Hospit-al Work WAsiUNGTON (NC) - There are 11,000 hospital employes in this country who never see their paychecks and never worry about getting a raise.

Harold A., Murray, director of health affairs for the United States Catholic 'Conference, explained that while these Sisters are paid salaries similar to their lay, COlleagues, the money goes directly to their motherhouses. ' The salaries are used to educate other Sisters in nursing and to help meet operating expenses. Sometimes a religious community will r!'!turn paychecks to the hospital for care of indigent patients, he added. .: .

Nuns Study Lif.e In Ret i rement CINCINNATI (NC)-A happy, productive life after retirement is the goal. of 44 nuns participating in an institute on aging at the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur provincial house here. "An elderly nun in retirement may feel that she has been shelved and is of no use to anyone," said Sister Marguerite O'Connor, S.N.D., director of the six-week institute, "but I feel that if she is offered a chance. to develop an interest in a second career, she will have 20 happy, productive years ahea'd of her." This "second career," Sister Marguerite feels, could b!'!' involvement in community service programs. So the 44 institute, participants spend their afternoons visiting commupity-operated hospitals, home.s for the aged, and child care centers to see how they could ,get involved on a volunteer ,basis. Hobbies Talks and films on all aspects of aging-weight control, general health, exercise, psychological adjustment - are available to both participants and the 90 provincial house residents on closed circuit television. Another part 9f the .program introduces the nuns to new hobbies like guitar, vi.olin or organ, . lessons, sewing and ceramics classes. . Sister Marguerite, who has directed workshops on aging throughout the East after three years of college research in that area of study, said the programs are designed not only for older sisters. Even nuns who have just entered the convent should plan ahead for productive postretirement years, she said. Participants in the N,otre Dame institute' range 'ins'ge from 30 to over 70.

In a letter to pastors Bishop Vincent M: Leonard cautioned the :time has not yet come for any final decision by the diocese or parishes on the schools. The results of special studies and of government proposals to help should be awaited first, h.e said. The special aid will be for any parish with a grade, high school or both or involved in a jointure and needing help to' meet school operating costs. The aid will consist of reduced parish assess-, ments and grants from a special emergency education fund. Bishop Leonard said that two in-depth studies are now being carried out for the diocese reo garding schools.

Alternating new movies with old, the two priests tried to develop a balanced cinema diet. W. C. Fields got a turn, then "Oliver," then "Romeo and Juliet." The experiment folded with a program of Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton and W. C. Fields movies.
In the past, the mother general had more to do with everyday operation of the community, but now the effort is toward decentralization, Sister Suzanne said. Mqst everyday administrative details now are handled by the community vice presidents or personnel boards, she explained. She said the president (formerly mother general) must now provide leadership, mapping directions while maintaining an overview of the total community. "In other words, freed from the more trifling, the president can have time for looking toward' answering the call toward wider involvement-outside the religious community and even outside the Church, itself," said the nun. She cited the school as an example. A parochial school today cannot' be effective operating totally within its own walls-it has to be concerned with its relationship with the wider community and with the, public schools as wel1, she said.

Speaking at the annual meeting of 'the Education Commission of the States here, Allen said: "Surely among the leadership of this nation there should be the perspective about education, the broad understanding of its needs, that would generate a compelling sense of urgency. "Each year, our city school systems slide closer arid closer to disaster. Because we insist on .clinging to outmoded organizational and management patterns, hundreds of millions of dollars are. inefficiently expended."

church-sponsored program to reduce discriminatory hiring practices has the formal support of only II per cent of the agencies listed as the backbone of the year-old program. This was revealed here by James S. Henderson, Jr., executive director of Project Equality of New Jersey when he was asked about its initial thrust. The 54-member Project Equality council has received commitment forms from fewer than 300 of the approximately 2,500 parishes, congregations and agen.cies and institutions of the sponsoring church bodies, Henderson said. . However, he called. this 11 per cent resporise "normal" for the first year of the program, adding that it "doesn't mean that there are 89 per cent of the institutions against the program. It's a question of personal contact and education," he said.

Pope Enumerates Church Tensions
DENVER (NC) - Catholic schools would not want public aid if doing so would weaken public schools, a Catholic education official said here. "No one in private education wants to weaken the public schools," said Father C. Albert Koob, O. Praem., president of the National Educational Association. "But we believe a way can be found ,to finance all' education." Father Koob was a participant in a panel discussion on state support for private education at the annual meeting here of the Education Commission of the States (ECS). "It's not a church-state question," Father Koob told members. "The question is: what is the public function of private schools? What are the secular functions of religious schools?" For Same ServIces The NCEA president said he felt "purchase of services" aid was the most "valid and constitutional" private school aid. Under that plan, state aid is granted private schools for the educational services they. perform which are the same as publ~c schools. Father Koob also noted that closing private schools would cost U. S. taxpayers $5 Dillion annually. One objection to public aid for private schools raised by another panelist was that such aid might encourage the opening of addi·tional schools trying to fight integration laws. Public schools are in desperate financial trouble, another panelist said, and all available funds should go to them.
Forms Secretariat For Latin America DETROIT (NC) - The LatinAmerican Secretariat for the Detroit archdiocese has been established by Cardinal John Dearden for the benefIt of 50,000 Latin Am.ericans now residing in southeastern Michigan. The cardinal explained that the secretariat's objective is to help expedite, cultural exchanges to acquaint Latin Americans with the advantages of the non-Latin American way of life and to demonstrate that "Latin American culture has ma!1y gifts to bring to all of us." , The archdiocese for some years has assigned priests to work among Latin Americans, but the secretariat will expand work in this field, the cardinal said.

The portrait of the warrior pope, who tried to bolster the temporal power of the papacy through his military campaigns, has always been considered a copy. '

Church versus those who feel the changes are already too slow in coming; -Those who pine for a primitive Church and resent its historical development versus those who would "push this development in profane forms of everyday life" to the point ot' producing a secular church. Pope Paul urged those at the audience to be faithful "to the Vatican Council, to the Church and to Christ." , The Council, he said, "goes on, not only in memory, but in the life of the Church, and it is destined to go on, within and beyond the Church for a long time to come."

Modern Country Music-Lyrics of Life 'Tells People Things They Want to Hear' LOUISVILLE (NC)-If, as the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, "Music is the universal language of mankind," then there is a popular brand of it here today that's carrying a variety of messages, from religion to love, to a wide cross-section of people. . It's called country music. Or, to be more exact, "modern" country music-which some describe as a marriage of rock-androll music of the 1950s, folk music and traditional country musiC. Country music has been around for a long time and has long been p,opular in the South and rural parts of the country. But, today, modem country music is also reaching into the homes and ears of the urban folk. And its popularity is continuing to rise. Modem country music's broad appeal is cited from surveys by Neal "Moon" Mullins, program director and a disc jockey at WINN, a Louisville country music station. Mullins, who said a "better name" for country music is "American music", described the average patron as: People Identify A middle-class family, with income between $5,000 and $15,000. Family of four owning two cars. Or in his words, "just the average guy." There seem to be a number of reasons why this brand of music is so popular. Jim Ed Brown, a country music' singer who appeared at a show here recenty, said it "tells
people things they want to hear" and it tells them "in a simple way." , To this Mullins added that country music "puts questions so simply that people identify with it so easily." Others in the entertainment business cited other reasons: the lyrics to the songs are understandable and they deal with everyd~y, personal occurrences; it's emotional; it offers something for everybody, rich and poor, rural and urban dweller, young and old, single and ·married persons, black and white. Mullins summarized it this, way: "Country music sings about life, every facet of it." And that it does, including religion, politics, patriotism, marriage, love, loneliness, happiness, and the melancholy.
And pupils scorn the things our leaders do. It's time a prayer was spoken from the heart of every man. Jesus, take a hold and lead us through.
Religion's Impact Religion, especially the fundamentalist's religions of the South and the rural parts of the country, has long had an impact on country music. But some of today's - songs with, religious themes apply to more than just the country folk.
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
Take a song entitled, "Jesus" Take A Hold," that is quite popular now. Part of it goes:' This world has never been in the shape it's in,
There are. others, too, like "The Family," whose words have an old message: The family that prays together always stays together. And that's the way it's always been with us. Or another, "Everything BeautifUl," which begins:

Says Am·ericans Need New Look At Red China LAFAYETIE (NC)-,-A new effort to understand American relationships with Red China was proposed here as the sta·rting. point for both a "religious rebirth" in. this country and a more realistic national foreign policy. . "The demand for human coexistence with Red China is our greatest political challenge," the Rev. Dr. Alan Geyer, of Chicago, told the national Assembly of United Presbyterian Women meeting here in Indiana. He stressed the 'need for Christians to involve themselves at all levels in political affairs, and deplored the fact that schools, churches, universities and the government "are not equipping us" to understand' Red China-U. S. relations. \ Missionaries Expelled . Geyer, editor of the ecumenical publication, .Christian Century, blamed American mis-reading of Red Chiria's history and her attitude toward the United States for several current foreign policy problems, including the present impasse in Vietnam and the escalating arms race. He said 'he was "not acting as a publicist for Mao' Tse Tung" in raising the Red CHina issue and declared that Red China "could . well be the starting point for a kind of religious rebirth as well as for a re-direction of American foreign policy." Since communism assumed power in China in 1949, more than .5,000 foreign missionaries have been· expelled from that country. Of the 10 per cent' Americans expelled, the most recent was Maryknoll Bishop James E. Walsh,79, released July 10 after 12 years in a Red China prison. '. ,

His decision as a young man to study theology disappointed his agnostic father. In later years Karl Bonhoeffer related his misgivings to his son ir a letter quoted by Bethge: . "At the time when you decided to devote yourself to theology I sometimes thought to myself that a quiet, uneventful minister's life would really almost be a pity for you. So far as. uneventfulness is concerned, I was greatly mistaken. That such a crisis should still be possible 'in the ecclesiastical field seemed to me with my scientific background out of the question."

REV. ANDREW M.,!:;;::} GREELEY
They are so swept along by the power and magnificence of their own rhetoric that they are quite unaware of the need for consensus, coalition, and compromise to effect political change. In fact, they would spurn such activities with lordly disdain. Some of the unrealities of the academic world have purpose, or at least had purpose. Thus, the custom of tenure-by which a man cannot be fired from his job save if _. grave misconduct is proved against him-was originally designed to provide the security necessary for a thoughtful and frequently unpopular scientific research. But, increasingly, tenure has become something that is not so much earned but which is demanded as a matter of right. If 'a faculty member has not engaged in enough scholarship to justify promotion he can promptly charge he is being denied it because of his political stance and, in some instances, blackmail and browbeat his colleagues into giving him a permanent appointment and once permanancy is obtained he can, if he wishes, ignore students completely; very considerable number of academics do just that. 0
Professional Reputations Equally unreal is the fact that higher eduaction is, generally speaking, innocent of evaluation. A professor is promoted not because he is an effective teacher of students, not because it has been clearly demonstrl!ted that students learn something from him, but because of his colleagues' evaluation of his professional publications. I will not detain the reader with an account of all the chicanery and flimflam involved in developing a professional reputation. The point is, that no one evaluates a faculty member - at least not in any way that is meaningful, and that nobody at all evaluates whether students learn anything in the' college, either inside or outside.the classroom. Obviously, something goes on because at the end of the years in college people know' more than when they started' and are able to pass graduate record exams' with varying degrees of skill, but whether any activity of faculty or administration has contributed'much to his develop-

GLENSTAL (NC)- Ireland's churches are determined "to stay together to work for reconciliation and increased cooperation," the seventh annual Ecumenical Congress declared. The statement, approved 'at the end of a three-day meeting at 51. Columba's Benedictine Abbey here, said the congress recognizes the strength of goodwill to be found among the people of Ireland and their desire for a peaceful community. 'One hundred fifty representatives from all the major churches in Ireland attended the congress. The congress said it welcomes every effort made to promote peace and understanding, and specifically cited the joint working group on the role of the churches in Irish society, recently established by the Irish Council of Churches and supported by the Catholic bishops of Ireland. Abbot Dunstan O'Sullivan, O.S.B., of the Glenstal Abbey told the congress participants that "now more than ever must we work and pray for greater unity and fellowship." Work for Reconciliation "We can never rest," he said, "until ,we and all our people share that mutual esteem and service which was characteristic of the early Christian community," The abbot said also that it is his hope and prayer that the' people of troubled Northern Ireland, where British troops have been used to halt Catholic-Protestant clashes, will soon come to enjoy peace, goodwill, justice and charity. The congress stated: - "Conscious of the shortcomings of the past and of the difficulties that might lie ahead,' we are determined to stay together to work for reconciliation and increased cooperation between the churches. "We undertake to help each other in every way possible if and when the need arises for the good of the whole community. We pledge ourselves to pray each day for the fulfillment of Christ's purpose in Ireland and call on all our fellow countrymen to join with us in this commitment,"

H'ospital Nurses Refuse to Aid' In Abortions
'Fitzgerald, Arlen Enjoyed Great Success in 1920' s
ALBANY (NC)-The 10 operating room nurses at Child's Hospital here have refused to assist in any more abortion operations. Their stand is being supported by the hospital administration. The nurses have varied religious backgrounds, Catholic and Protestant. They participated in four abortions since New York . state's unrestrictive abortion law went into effect July I. , Two of the nurs~s assisted the surgical team of doctors in the last operation July I. George Mayers, hospital administrator, said: "It shook the nurses up quite a bit, fin~ing the fetus to be ,a real body." He ,said "all the femalt' employes of the hospital lire opposed to abortions being performed' in the institution." Mayers added the 15-member board of governors will not discriminate 'against the nurses because of their stand and the hospital "will honor their moral, personal and religious stand on the issue:'

Plan Jewish Free', Univ'ersity PHILADELPHIA (NC) A Jewish Free Uniyersity, designed to "foster a Jewish Renaissance in this country," will open here this Fall said Stephen R Goldstein, associate professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania. This project will provide "an opportunity for college students, other interested Philadelphians and some of the best minds in the Jewish academic community to explore together the many facets of the Jewish experience that combine to form the Jewish people," Goldstein said. He is consultant on Jewish communal affairs to the Philadelphia Chapter of the AmeriCan Jewish Committee. Professors from Temple, Drex'. el, Lincoln, Villanova and Pennsylvania Universities will' be among faculty teaching 14 courses in the Jewish curriculum. Classes will be held in offices, homes, meeting rooms or .ciassrooms selected by students and teachers. ' The idea for the university, Goldstein said, hinges on the belief that a "tremendous resurgence of Jewish interest" among Jewish faculty members will enable them to fulfill their "potentially significant role of affirmative Jewish models for their students and colleagues."

No Vacation VATICAN CITY (NC)-Vacation time may mean "flight from monotony," Pope Paul. VI told a crowd in St. Peter's Square on the first Sunday of July, "but the spirit does not take a vacation," To back up his assertion, he cited Christ's injunction to pray always.
Polls Women on Liberation Movement Some Goals--But Not All-Acceptable CAMDEN (NC)-Despite widespread media coverage of the Women's Liberation Movement, almost half the women polled by the Catholic Star Herald, diocesan newspaper here, had either no knowledge of the movement· or had heard too little about it to form an opinion. !he Star Herald contacted about 20 South Jersey area women who were parish "leaders" like PTA presidents or heads of altar-rosary societies. Comments from those who had formed opinions ranged from complete rejection' of Women's Lib to acceptance of some-but not all-of its goals. "I'm old fashioned. I don't think women need liberation,'" said Mrs. Anthony Clark, PTA president of Holy Saviour School in Westmont. Mrs. Kieran Dale, PTA president at St. Peter Celestine School in Cherry Hill, however, said the Lib "makes some interesting
points concerning employment of women. Women do suffer dis,crimination in employment and salary," . But Mrs. Dale said she was "not about to join the Lib. I'm against many of their reform ideas. For instance, abortion.". (Some Women's Lib members advocate repeal of abortion laws on grounds that women should have the right to make the decision about something concerning their own body.) "I can't really agree with the Lib," said Mrs. Thomas Huie, PTA president of St. Nicholas School in Egg Harbor. "I believe

"We tremble for our country as we pray that the justice of God will not. fall on us," he said in a formal statement to the people of his archdiocese.

Ontario Women Oppose Abortion' PEMBROKE (NC)-"The fight to prevent the murder of unborn innocents should never be diminished," the Catholic Women's League of Ontario declared in urging members to resist all efforts for more permissive legislation in the matter of abortion. The resolution, approved at the league's 23rd annual convention' here, said "every means at our disposal" should be' utilized "to make our stand known,"
changeable law of God, from Sinai through Judeo-Christian transmission· until this hour. No legislation of man can amend or change it." Archbishop Manning said such divine law was "also canonized in Church law. The direct intention 'of destroying a non-viable fetus incurs the penalty of excommunication." The Archbishop's statement came in the wake of a ruling by Superior Court Judge William L. Ritzi here that the state's abortion laws are constitutional. The judge said any change in the law must be made by the legislature, not in the courts. . The rUling' was made in the judge's refusal to quash an indictment against a doctor and two women assistants char.ged with criminal conspiracy and five counts of abortion. Seeking dismissal of the charges, an American Civil liberties lawyer arguin~ for the defendants . contended the law violates a' person's privacy, a physician's. right to practice and is vague, indefinite and uncertain.

a woman should be feminine in everything she docs." But she conceded she might join a Lib group "depending on what they were fighting for," 'Ogling Males' . "I'm for it," said Mrs. Joseph McBeth, wife of Blessed Sacrament School, Margate's PTA president. But she criticized "hokev, attention-getting gimmicks" like picketing the Miss America pageant or "standing on street corners ogling male passersby," Mrs. R. E. Sears, PTA president of Queen of Heaven School in Cherry Hill, said Lib members "are making fools of themselves. I'm already as liberated as any woman could wish to be," Mrs. Jack Vukich, Sacred Heart School, Camden, PTA president, concurred. "I think I prefer treatment as a woman. Women have something special which they stand to lose if given equal status with men."
Priest Urges New Seminary Practices BOGOTA (NC)-A seminary for farm youth at S.onson, Colombia, whose 48 students work in the fields while pursuing their academic life, was praised here by a Church leader. He also urged that the traditional image of the seminary be changed from a place with stately stone walls to a lively community of young people sharing their training with the whole student community. If seminaries' are to survive in Latin America they must become more specialized and more attuned to the aspirations of youth, said the secretary of the Latin American Seminary Organization Father Ruben H. Di Monte.
BAKERSFIELD (NC) - 'raLlt' grape growers may say they're ready to negotiate labor Sl'ttle.ments, but farm workers union leader Cesar Chavez has balked at their talk until growers slOp insistin~ upon mediation by the State Conciliation Service, In frustration, a group of growers here recently appealed to the U. S, Bishops' Ad Hoc Committee on the Farm Labor lJispute to use "its considerable influence" to' bring growers and the AFL-CIOUnited Farm Workers Organization together for contract talks. "Union failure to immediately respond affirmativdy" to growers' advances "coufd result in grower withdrawal of acceptance of a State Conciliation proposal to negotiate a labor agreement," said Philip J. Fei~k Jr., president of the Western Employers Council. . ,Proposed by Reagan In his telegram of. request for the bishops' help, Feick said his group speaks for growers controlling "more than 50 per cent of California's 78,000 acres of table grapes, Use of the state's condlation service had been proposed by California Gov. Ronald Reagan as a means of settling the bitter four-year-old table grape-strike boycott. Chavez, however, criticized Reagan's suggestion saying "we want to make it emphatically clear that the union has absolutely no confidence or trust in Rea~an, the conciliation service or its director Ralph Duncan."
Blames Christians For Social Failures EVIAN-LES-BAINS (NC) Part of the blame for the failure of the technically advanced nations to promote global social justice was laid at the door of Christians by a German Lutheran theologian at the fifth assembly of the Lutheran World Federation here in France.

Says New Program Needed "to Desegregate Schools
Cites' Importance of Theology Training Priests Need Solid Basis for Programs WASHINGTON (NC) - Seminary training has come a long way since the days when future priests spent most of their time studying St. Thomas Aquinas and then were ordained to face on-the-job problems never - encountered in theology texts. But now things may be going too far the other way, the head of the American College at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium, said -here. Father Clement, Pribil, new rector of the American college, said non-academic experience like counseling, youth work, or tackling' social problems is "good, excellent." But he added that it should not be gained at the expense of solid, theological study. Many of today's activist clergy are "quite heavy on 'I feel', 'I think', or 'It seems to me,''' Father Pribil said. But a more effective approach is to have "a solid theological basis on which

to develop programs while the Church continues to change." English-Speaking Faculty Father Pribil, a priest of the Oklahoma City-Tulsa diocese, took over his post at the 113year-old residence for American priests and seminarians studying at the Louvain on July 1. A Louvain graduate himself and American College vice rector for the past four years, Father Pribil was here to tell Louvain's American Alumni Association about the theology department's new English-speaking faculty program. The new rector will also travel to 31 dioceses throughout the country, urging that bishops, vocation directors and seminary faculties send students to participate in the program. Father Pribil said not only seminarians, but priests wishing to "up-date their theology" on a sabbatical leave can also participate. American College, administered by a National Conference of Catholic B ish 0 P s committee headed by Bishop Stephen Leven of San Angelo, Tex., would be a European home away from home for such potential Louvain students. 'Know AmerIcan Church "Now students don't have to learn a different language before getting to the 'nitty-gritty' of the-
ology,", Father Pribil said. He said the 28-member, Englishspeaking faculty will be helpful both to American priests and seminarians and to a delegation of English-speaking students from underdeveloped countries expected this Fall. The -English faculty members "know the American Church and scene," Father Pribil said, since about half have taught in the U. S. previously and some are still teaching here part of the year. Chairman of the English faculty is Father Piet Fransen, S.J., noted theologian who was most recently Professor of Theology at the University of San Francisco. A complete bachelor's master's and doctorate programs in theology will be offered at Louvain this year. Also new is five-year Ph.D. program in religious studies designed for both religious and' laity interested in teaching catechetics. The catechetical training program is headed by Dr. Christian 'Brusselmans from Fordham University in New York.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Charging that federal assistance has "proven inadequate to do the job" of desegregating the nation's schools, the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights has urged creation of a program aimed specifically at eliminating racial isolation. "A massive outlay of funds is necessary if we are to desegregate our schools," said Howard A. Glickstein, staff director of the commission chaired by Father Theodore M. Hesburgh, president of .the University of Notre Dame. Outlay of an initial $150 million in emergency desegregation aid remains snagged in Congress. It was back in March that President Nixon first announced that he-would 'ask for a total of $1.5 billion over the next two years to help aesegregate schools aRd ease racial isolation. Training Teachers Glickstein, testifying recently before a House committee, asked that "all persons who believe that the nation's future rests on a racially and ethnically integrated society" to support the Emergency School Aid Act of 1970. He warned that "a prescription for disaster is to attempt to desegregate schools withotlt preparation and with little or no investment of funds in training teachers to deal with problems incident to desegregation. "For this reason alone, the Emergency School Aid Act, or some form of assistance similar to that provided in the bill, is an absolutely necessary adjunct to enforcement of school desegregation," he said. Raises Achievement Glickstein said it is important that funds for transportation of children to and from school be made available through the bill. He said that integration of schools has been demonstrated to be the most effective means of raising the achievement level
of disadvantaged students, and that busing to integratee the schools is also cheaper than compensatory education programs. On behalf of the ~ommission, an independent bipartisan agency created by Congress inn 1957, Glickstein recommended certain changes in the proposed bill to eliminate racial and ethnic isolation. These included deletion of language from the bill authorizing funds for educational purposes without desegregation and deletion of authorization to purchase mobile classroom units which the commission has found to be used to maintain racial segregation.
