Catholic' Schools Face Extinction

recent survey taken amongCatholic school superintendentsin the six dioceses of the statefound financial problems haveforced· the closing of nearly 30elementary schools and two highschools during the past threeyears.

At least four more grade andhigh schools will shult theirdoors in the next six months,and numerous grade and highschools are in critical financialstraits, the superintendents said.

Then there's Missouri. Thcstate's Catholic bishops greetedthe new year with a soft-spokenbut clear warning that Catholicschools can·t go on much longerwithout help from th~ state.

"The effect of a widespreadcutback in education on the partof private agencies is apparent,"the bishops said, but they spelledit out anyway., "As the contribution of thepriva.te agency is lost, tax moneywould be consumed in acceptingtransfers; public school pro­grams would be crippled; taxmoneys for other needs in healthand welfare would not be avail­able.

Officials Say ClosingSchools No Idle Thr~at

WASHINGTON (NC)-Catholic school officials havemade plain in a variety of ways they're not kidding whenthey warn that financial problems may force a widespreadshut-down of the nation's parochial schools. There wasa time not too long ago whenthis was seen in some quar­ters as an idle boast, aimedat scaring up some extramoney for a school systemthat was essentially solvent. Butno longer.

A significant number of state. legislators and public school of­

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Man does not build a betterworld by plunging into the future with only blind enthusi­asm and a frenzied passion to overthrow everything forthe sake of change, Pope Paul VI told a general audience.He said today's generationseems to be "inebriated" bywhat it mistakenly considersto be progress "and indeedcollaborates in it with force andenthusiasm, and often withoutany reserve."

"The past is forgotten, tradi­tion interrupted and habits areabandoned," he said.

There are cases where it isnecessary that there be a steadyand measured approach in mak­ing some transformations, thePope remarked. But such actionis often met with impatienceand intolerance, he said.

"And so there is always talkof revolution, and 'protest' israised in every field, and oftenneither its motive' nor its pur­pose is justified."

The Holy Father asserted thatman today has gained an aware­ness of the difficulties in his lifeas well as the possi·bilities forimprovements which can ,beintroduced.

"He is seized by a frenzy, heis exalted by a fury to over­throw everything (and here wehave a worldwide protest) in.blind belief that a new order(and this is an old world)', anew world, a kind of rebirth notyet properly perceivable, is in­evitably about to dawn."

The Pope said he would notoppose protest or a need for re­newal which "in certain formsis legitimate and dutiful."

But there are some who arecalling for an "impersonal trans­formation of the ecclesiasticaledif{ce in the forms and spiritof the Protestant reform, thePope remarked.

Instead they should be adher­ing to the kind of ·renewal whichwas called for in Vatican Coun­cil II, he said, a renewal of the"moral, personal, the interior,that is' to say, the one whichwould rejuvenate the Church."

Fall River PriestAmong D'elegates

Among delegates to a perman­ent commission on renewal ofthe Congregation of the BlessedSacrament Fathers, which metthis month at Eymard Prepara­tory Seminary. Hyde Park, N.Y.,was Rev. Ernest Lussier, S.S.S.,formerly of Fall Hiver and nowa philosophy pJ'Ofessor at BlessedSacrament Major Seminary inCleveland.

The meeting studied educationand formation of candidates fo:;­the congregaUon's priesthoodand brotherhood.

Brothers' StatusRecommendations included in­

tensification of recruitment forvocations through Cursillo-typeretreats. revision of novitiategoals with emphasis on flexibil­ity and pluriformity, and a re­thinking of the status of thecoadjutor brother.

The meeting brought to a closetwo years of work in preparationfor a provincial chapter to beheld in April. The April meetingwill be followed in Septemberby a general chapter in Rome,at which i~ is expected that majorchanges will be made in theBlessed Sacrament r'ule for thefirst time since the foundationof the congregation.

Cont:nued from Page Onewould doubtfully be accepted bythe general public."

Better AlternativeThe bishops suggested what

seemed to them a better alterna­tive: "cooperative arrangementsbetween ·the state and privateagencies in which both wouldshare the cost of education."This, they said, "would have thetwofold effect of tax savings forthe state and a continued serviceto the total community on thepart of private groups."

Michigan's former Gov. GeorgeRomney was still ducking salvosfor his recent parting recom­mendation, that church schoolsleave secular education to thestate, when a special legislativecommittee .recommended pas­sage of a bill to provide up to$40 million in indirect state aid

They discused ,the pitfalls andthe accomplishments of schoolboards in their two parishes.

oA. sample constitution, present­ed by Father O'Neill, notes thata parish board of education"shall be nesponsil)le for allaspects of the formal school pro­gram of the parish. In the de­velopment of its policies, it mustinsure that these follow the in­tent and spirit of the policieslaid down for the diocesan sys­tem by the diocesan board of ed­ucation.

In addition, Father O'Neillstressed the importance of thelocal parish board in such ,thingsas liaison with appropriate pub­lic authority,· seeking a betterundesrtanding and wider sup­port of Catholic education withinthe local community and servingas a local committee in the plan­ning and building of new edu­cational facilities.

At that time,Marquette initiated a $15 millioncapital funds campaign, whichconcluded in 1966, exceeding itsgoal by nearly $2.5 million, withactual contributions of $17,438,­484, he stated.

Father Raynor said the firstfive-year campaign, called theGreater Marquette Program,was primarily one of buildingdevelopment, and the remodel­ing and expansion of existingfacilities. The current campaign"while also encompassing phys­ical development, is primarilydirected toward improvement ofthe university's academic struc­ture, he explained.

Within the foreseeable future, every parish in the diocese that is operating a par­ochial school will have a parish school board, elected, not appointed. That was the indica­tion given last week by the Rev. Patrick J. O'Neill, diocesan superintendent of schools,during a two-day ~orkshop session on paris h boards of education. The first worksh9Pwas held at Bishop ConnollyHigh School in Fall Riverand the second at Stang'High School in Dartmouth.

Participating were pastors andschool principals and laymenfrom various parishes within thediocese.

Guests speakers for ,the vari­ous discussion sessions were Fa­ther O'Neill, the Rt. Rev. Msgr.John A. Lynch, superintendentof schools of the Burlington, Vt.,Diocese and a member of theExecutive Committee of the Na­tional Catholic Educational As­sociation; the Rt. Rev. Msgr.John E. Boyd, pastor of St. Pa­trick's Church, Fall' River, andDelmas DesLandes and RolandSeguin, both members of SacredHeart School Board in New Bed­ford, the' first ,parish schoolboard established in the diocese.

Msgr. Lynch, who was FatherO'Neill's guest at Stang duringthe two-day workshop session,discussed "New Patterns forCatholic Education.~'

Noting that the Catholic schoolsystem as it evolved in theUnited States is "chaotic," ratherstandardized, Msgr. Lynch point­ed out parochial schools are "anintermingling" of ecclesiasticaland educational authorities.

Because of a split in authority,between t-he bishop who is thetitular head of the diocesan ed­ucational system and the relgi­ous communities operating theschools, "the system did n()twork efficiently," and it wasclear changes were necessary,he said.

Today, Msgr. Lynch said, "cler­gy, religious and lay teaching'personnel are serving notice to principal, and' the actual opera:Catholic administrators and pol- tion of a school board.icy makers that the old waysno longer will be tolerated."

As part of 9" "new look" inthe parochial school system,Msgr. Lynch feels the establish­ment of parochial school boardsthat give the laity a voice in set­ting policies is "long overdue."

Even if Catholic schools areto die because of financial orpersonnel ills, he says, "I feel',parish boards are essential-sothat lay people 'have some voicein their demise."

Father O'Neill discussed the"Establishment of a. SchoolBoard."

thedral. Most of the protestorsremained. The ca.thedral waslocked ,to bar the entry of morepersons.

Msgr. Carney said he had re­quested the presence of the po­lice on the strength of a rumorthat some sort of demonstration-had been planned. He said hewas concerned for the safety ofpersons present in the ca.thedralwhich normally is crowded atthe 12:30 Mass.

"The police were extremelyefficient, very careful, prudent,and courteous in their handling'of the situation," Msgr. Carneysaid later. "There was absolutelyno brutality."

About half way through theMass, the priests read a state­ment accusing Issenmann of"white racism," favoring wealthymembers of the diocese, andmismanagement of diocesan af­fairs.

Two incidents occurred dur­ing the Mass. One was a minorscuffle occasioned, according toMsgr. Carney, by the action of aprotestor who pushed a police­man. The other incident tookplace when Father Begin at­tempted to break through a lineIWhic·h policemen had formedbetween the sancturay and thebody of the church. The priesthad been urging persons to re­ceive Communion, saying, "Don'tyou. want the body of Christ?"and "Take the body of Christ."Apparently, while attempting tocircumvent the police line, Fa­ther Begin accidentally droppedsome hosts from the paten heheld. They were picked up by apriest from the cathedral.

Father Meyer was carried outby police after he, Father Be­gin, and several of their sup­porters refused to leave. the ca- .thedral eyen at the completion ofMass. About 20 persons includ­ing the priests, were taken topolice headquarters. The priestswere released on personal bond.

The Cleveland chancery issueda statement which praised theconduct of the police, and de­fended the closing of the cathe­dral during .the incident. Thestatement said the cathedral wasclosed out of deference to theHoly Eucharist, because the ca­thedral is a' place dedicated todivine worship, and out of con­cern for the safety of the con-'gregation and the protest group.

The CWC issued a statementindicting the "leadership of theCatholic diocese" for "misuse ofpower that causes it to be anagent of oppression and in thatrespect fraudulent in its claimsto be carrying on the work ofJesus Christ."

The statement said the leader­ship "has allowed the Church tobecome an agent of the govern­ment's propaganda" in respectto the war in Vietnam. It contin­ued: "With respect to race, theleadership is guilty not only ofimposing but also of perpetuat­ing white racism.

"We, Christians who care, con­sider this total situation intol­erable, fraudUlent, and unworthyof the name of Christian. Wedemand that our leadership,/andspecifically, Bishop Issenmann,meet with us publicly to discuss"the issues mentioned.

A meeting between Bishop Is­senmann and the priests in­volved in the cathedral incidenthas been scheduled.

Cites Pre-judiceIn New YorkSchool Crisis

NEW YORK (NC) - Atask force appointed by NewYork Mayor John Lindsay tostudy problems of bigotry inNew York has reported that "anappalling amount of racial prej­udice" surfaced during the NewYork school controversy lastFall.

The nine-member study groupsaid that the prejudice was bothblack and white, with "a dan­gerous component' of anti­Semitism" in the anti-whiteprejudice. It added: "The black­white hostility also has a smallmeasure of bigotry emanatingfrom or directed against PuertoRicans."

The task force said that theschool controversy will only bethe first instance of black-whiteconfrontation unless the citytakes steps to "bind up thewounds which have resultedfrom the present conflict. andinstitute procedures which willminimize the possibility of sim­ilar destructive conflict in thefuture; both in the public schoolsand in all other aspects of cityHfe."

The school problem - whichclosed public schools in the cityfor three months of the firstsemester-began over a decen­tralization controversy, withNegro 'and Puerto Rican parentsopposing the United Federationof Teachers.

The UFT called a strike whenthe local board of the experi­mental Ocean Hill-Brownsvilleschool district demanded thetransfer of som~ teachers againsttheir will. The union regardedsuch transfers as violations oftheir professional and contrac­tual rights.

On Both SidesDuring the controversy, the

task force reported, bigotryerupted on both sides. The prop­aganda issued by black militants'supporting the parents, thestudy panel said, "reveals a big­otry from black extremists thatis open, undisguised, nearlyphysical in its intensity-andfar more identifiable than thatemanating from whites.

"On the other hand," thepanel report continued, "anti­black bigotry tended to be ex'­pressed in more sophisticatedand subtle fashion, often com­municated privately and seldomreported, but nonethel~s!; equal­ly evil, corrosive, damaging anddeplorable." .

Members of the panel in­cluded Father Leo McLaughlin,S.J., past president of FordhamUniversity; Robert Carter, gen­eral counsel for the NationalAssociation for the Advance­ment of Colored People; andDavid Dubinsky, honorary pres­ident of the International LadiesGarment Workers' Union, aswell as representatives of otherNew York civic and professionalgroups.

Last DecadePrelate Says

Review Church ChangesLaity Attitude More Dynamic,

MILWAUKEE (NC) - Themany and dramatic changeswhich the Church in this coun­try has undergone during thelast decade were reviewed hereby Archbishop William E. Cous­ins on the tenth anniversary ofhis installation as head of theMilwaukee archdiocese.

Among the laity today, hesaid, there is a less passive andmore dynamic attitude. At thesame time thet:e is a certain im­patience among many whose vi­sion might be blurred by thelimitations of their specific par­ish "which conflict with thebroader picture" of the Church,he said.

The archbishop said amongthe clergy today t here isprogress in the establishmentof collegiality, at least in prin­ciple; plus an insistence on thepart of priests that authority"be wisely and ,benignly exer­cised" based on consultations"rather than upon the imposedviews of the individual prel­ates."

An awareness by priests oftheir "broadening roles" has atthe same time evidenced con­flicting attitudes, he said, "whenan individual priest might think

The Patriarch's expression ofbrotherhood came in a messageto the Pope which has just beenpublished in the Vatican Citydaily, L'Osservatore Romano.

The Patriarch informed thePope that he was giving thanksto God "for reuniting to an al­ready notable extent that whichhas divided and for reestablish­ing charity between us ¢ ... ¢"

Priest eel ibacyReal ConcernOf Bishops

UTRECHT (NC)-Thoughthere have been serious dis­cussions concerning modernproblems with priestly celi­bacy, the Dutch Bishops cannotsolve such problems of them­selves. It is a matter for allthe ,Bishops and Pope togetherto dialogue.

Bernard Cardinal Alfrinkstated that the problem "can besolved in a sensible way only ina dialogue with the world's bish­ops, with .the Pope as the head.This is not a matter for dialogueof a national hierarchy withRome. One must see this in awider perspective. It is a matterof dialogue with the whole worldhierarachy ,and the head of theuniversal world 'hierarchy has a

. special position that we all wantto respect."

Though the Dutch bishops mayhave faced or discussed theproblems more openly thanothers ,the Cardinal stated thatthey cannot in conscience allowmarried priests to continue intheir priestly office. The Churchmay dispense to continue fromhis obligation'to celibacy, he ex­plained, but on condition thatthe priest surrenders his rightto exercise priestly office..

Cardinal Alfrink said that theDutch bishops are prepared tolook after the four or five per­cent of the priests who have leftthe ministry as well as the 95per cent who are keeping theirvows of celibacy.

racial prejudice have beensolved, Archbishop Cousins saidat least half of Milwaukee arch­diocesan priests'are engaged ac­tively in' groups dedicated toservice of minority peoples.

In the area of Catholic schools,Archbishop Cousins reviewedpossible solutions, ranging fromconsolidations of schools to con­centrating exclusively on teach­ing of Catholic doctrine and de­pending on public schools fornon-religious . education. Hestressed no one solution appearsto be viable enough to answerthe problems in all segments ofthe archdiocese."Unquestionably," he said, "wemust ,be brave enough to facethe possibility of the completerestructuring of the parishschool."

Commenting on the turbu':'lence in the Church, particularlyin the last year, ,the 66-year-oldprelate said the Church is onlyreflecting the unrest in societyin general.

Community InvolvementHe itemized: the, attempt of

youth ,to create a better worldat the risk of law and order; anemerging citizenry opposingvested interests; a generationgap, especially in family life; anindividual's desire for independ­ence while still needing guid­ance.

In all the problem areas, whatis increasingly needed, he said,is the "continuing task of estab­lishing communications with allthe segments of the diocese."

His own duties a~ archbishop,'he said, have shifted from moreor less exclusively church-typefunctions to a heavier stress onmeetings directed at comJ1\unityinVOlvement, much broader in~cope and more ecumenical inatmosphere..

Archbishop Cousins is Mil­waukee's eighth archbishop. Hewas installed Jan. 27, 1959, suc­ceeding the late Archbishop(later Cardinal) Albert G.Meyer who had been appointedarchbishop of Chicago.

Advisors to former President Jrohnson receIved compara­tively little publicity but what'it had to say was of the'greatest importance. . .' . .

There' are about 22 mllhon persons m the nationclassified as poor. The report says that this poverty couldbe eliminated in this country in six to eight years. and ata cost of just 5 per cent of the nation's. budget. Theamount of $9.7 billion a year could do the Job. . '

This would mean that the many who are not m thepoor classification would have to sacrifice ,only a smallportion of their increasing income to help those. ,:"hoseincome is below the poverty level. Some sort of mm~mumincome including a negative income tax would be mtro-duced. '

Illinois Legislature Has School AidLargest Appropriation Ever Requested

Tri-Faith WorkPlan SucceedsIn Chicago

CHICAGO (NC)-An up­swing in the progress of theTri-Faith Employment Proj­ect here has been noted byGeorge Jones, chairman of theChicago Conference on Religionand Race.

The milk company vice pres­ident said:

"During 1968, Tri-Faith placed20,154 unemployed adults inpermanent full-time jobs in theChicago area at an operatingcost of $16.37 per placement."

"Compared with 1967, whenTri-Faith made 13,741 place­ments at an operating cost of$26.09 per placement, 1968 pro­duction rose 49 per cent whileoperating costs dropped 37 percent," he said.

Stay on JobJones commend<;ld John Cardi­

nal Cody and other Chicago re­ligious leaders for giving theirfull support to the program aswell as leaders of industry andlabor for providing work andtraining opportunities for Tri­Faith applicants.

Job stability checks haveshown that 67 per cent of allpersons placed by Tri-Faith re­main on the job.

Cardinal Cody emphasizedthe close cooperation betweenall religious organizations andcommunity groups in the Chi­cago area which developed theprogram ona city-wide scale.

Dock Worker Project"The important thing about

Tri-Faith," Cardinal Cody said,"is that it is people in the com­munity working within theirown community to help eachother attain the goals of all citi­zens,"

While Tri-Faith. is basicallya job placement organization,one of the training programsundertaken is the dock workertraining program, designed totrain 200 under-employed andunder-educated men to be dock­men for the Chicago area truck­ing industry.

Funded by theU. S. Depart­ment of Labor, the program isendorsed by the InternationalBrotherhood of Teamsters,Chauffeurs, Warehousemen, andHelpers of America, and its' af­filiated local union. A truckline serves as industrial spon­sor.

enced in loading and unloadingvehicles and are completelyfamiliar with, coded routing andloading instructions, as well asbills of lading and manifests.

CHICAGO (NC)-A bill seek­ing the largest appropriationever requested in Illinois forstate aid to nonpublic elemen­tary and high school studentshas been introduced!n the Illi­nois Legislature in Springfield.

Rep. J. Theodore Meyer ofChicago, author of the bill, rateschances of ,passage' as, "prettygood." He said he would be un­willing to accep,t any amend­ments to his bill.

"I'm not willing to settle for·half a loaf. I don't expect anyamendments," he said in an in­terview here.: ,

The bill requests that parentsof nonpublic school students re­ceive the same amount, of statefunds appropriated to'individualschool districts for their stu­dents.

State aid to public schoolscurrently works like this: thestate gives a base grant of $47per public school student. It alsogives additional funds rangingfrom zero to about $300 per pu­pil, the amount depending uponthe extent to which local taxesare exhausted for the support ofpublic schools.

PHILADELPHIA (NC) - Thecentury-old Overbrook schoolfor girls conducted by the Reli­gious of the. Sa~red Heart ofJesus, will continue operations.Earlier plans called for closingthe school in June.

Mother Elizabeth Sweeney,provincial, said the decision tocontinue operation came after.adoption of a lay teacher facultyplan. The provincial reaffirmedthe decision to. close Eden Hall,a sister Sacred Heart academyin nearby Torresdale, in June.

Elizabeth said the plan tosave the Overbrook school wasdevised hy a committee of par­ents, and calls for an all-layfaculty and administrationunder ultimate provincial coun­cil control.

Urges IncreaseIn Home Masses

ROCHESTER (NC) - BishopFulton J. Sheen of Rochester hasissued a special report to thediocese urging enlargement ofthe parish program of homeMasses. .

This was the first action bythe bishop for home liturgysince his pastoral letter of lastAugust, criticizing "profana­tions" in some home-made wor­ship rituals.

Bishop Sheen listed in his re­port the guidelines for suchMasses as set forth by the dio­cesan liturgical commission. Theguidelines stress that regularand frequent celebration ofhome Masses, "always accom­panied by adequate instruction,"is to be strongly encouraged,especially during Advent andLent.

The guidelines also point outthat home Masses should takeplace on weekdays only; thatthey be open to all-non Cath­olics as well as members of theChurch - but that Communionunder both kinds .has not beenapproved by the Holy See.

In his report, Bishop said:"The home Mass can convey

the personal character of theword taught by the Church asa word of life directed to men'shearts. The more intimate con­tact between priest and .people;' ;' * can prepare for a deepersense of communion with Christand one another in the celebra­tion of the Eucharist."

Parish Subsidy SystemAids Diocesan Schools

LAFAYETTE (NC)-A parishsub'sidY system to bolster thefinancial base in meeting risingcosts of Catholic education inthe La:Eayette diocese has beenestablished by the diocesanschool board.

Beginning with the 1969-70school year, the board directedthat parishes without schoolsmake pupil subsidy paYll}ents tothe Catholic schools attended bytheir parishioners. A scale of $25per pupil in' an elementary

,school ;and $50 per pupil in ahigh school was devised.

Msgr. Richard Mouton, dioc­esan su;~erintendent of schools,said the estimated cost of oper­ating the diocesan school systemfor 1968-69 '-is $3,100,000 an in­crease of $300,000 over the pre­vious school year.

He said the subsidy systemwas· deci ded upon by the boardas an equitable means of meet­ing the rising costs. He alSo saidthe same system would be ap­plied in cases where a parish

,school is overcrowded and stu­dents from that parish are sentto another parish school.

Expects 1969 ""ill-B,e YearFor Skin Care, E)(e Allure

By Marilyn Rode1'ick

Winter is the season that wreaks havoc on our skin.The north wind's blustery breezes plus the dry air of ourcentrally ,heated homes dry out all the natural oils. If youhave a tendency to enlarged pores, the dryness of yourWinter skin appears to ex­aggerate them. If your skinis always thirsty for mois-

Aure, then the frosty air dries'it even more and it becomesflaky and spotty. These skinproblems are ,present in everyage bracket butthe y becomemore pronounc­ed when onegoes over that30 line. Takeheart gals, manyof the cosmeticmanufac­turers are notonly aware ofthese problemsbut are tryingto do something ,about them. This new ,breed of,make-up e~pert realizes that thecondition of a woman's skin ismore important than any make­up she uses to cover it.

Therefore, they are determinedto start right ,at the base of themake-up, your skin.

N~w CollectionOne cosmetic line has intro­

duced a new collection called"Demi Face Care." There aretwo groups, one for normal ordry skin and the other for oilyskin. Included in the groupingsare a pre-makeup cleanser, anunder make'-up moisturizer, aheavy duty cleanser, a pre-sleepfacial; and a sleep stick to eithermoisturize your face or controlthe oil.

Recently I purchased this pre­sleep blotter and found that itworks very well to keep oil outof your pores while you aresleeping and during the day. I'vebeen wearing it under make-upand I've found that it stopsmake-up from changing color, aphenomenon that occurs _~ith

oily skin. 'Scand'inavian girls report,

though, that snow and coldweather have an invigoratingeffect on the skin and to provetheir point Scandia CosmeticsCompany has produced a newline that includes cleaners andstimulants with the same effectthat the aforementionel elementshave on the lovely oomplexionsof Scandinavian beauties.

Protest DecisionTo Close School

SCHENECTADY (NC)-PClr­cnts of student.s at St. Columba'sschool here have protested adecision of the Alban~' dioceseclosin'g the school in June. Lackof reasons to explain the closingwas cited as the cause of theprotests.

Father James A. McManus,pastor of St. Columba's andspokesmen for the diocese,cited crowded classrooms, highcosts of rebuilding or moderniz­ing the school, and shortage ofReligious teachers as reasons for

'the closing.Students would be absorbed

into two private high schools inSchenectady - Bishop Gibbons,conducted by the Christian Bro­thers of I reland, and NotreDame, conducted by the Congre­gation of Notre Dame nuns. St.Columba's elementary schoolclasses will continue, it was re­ported.

Mrs. J'ohn Arnell, one of theprotesters, said parents are seek­ing a full explanation for theclosing, and do not agree withthe reasons given in a notice toparishioners. She said familieswith children at St. Columba'spay much less in tuition thanthose whose children attendBishop Gibbons or Notre Dame,and if St. Columba is closed thechildren will have to go to pub­lic schools.

Tuition at St. Columba's is$120 a family, Mrs. Amell said.At Bishop Gibbons, for boys'only, tuition is $300 for the firstchild and $250 for each succeed­ing one; at Notre Dame, for girlsonly, it is $200 and $125.

Tem'pted'Children's

There is something about Winter and children and asmall house that's incompatible. 1 sometimes feel that thetime from five to eight before the children go to bed iloithe period when parents are most likely to suffer a nervom; .breakdown, a cardiac fail­ure or a case of acute aliena­tion. There are the day'sevents to be faced, supper inthe middle of "Voyage to theBottom of the Sea" (a catastro­phe for Jason), homework to bedone, piano lessons (the inevi­table tear-jerking "I want. toquit" from Melissa), dishes tobe washed, baths to be taken andmyriad crises to be overcome.

It is at this time that Marilynand 1 turn to the one room in thehouse with a lock on it, the bath­room, for a few minutes of peaceand quiet. The bathroom is themost appreciated room in" ourhouse. This may strike some ofour readers as. an undignifiedadmission, but 1 consider it farsuperior to an .admission of fail­ure to control three young ehil­dren.

find this refuge from the chil- 'dren, but it didn't take Marilyn,long to fathom my reason forprolonged disappearances fromview and she soon began to com­pete for the privacy behind thelocked door. .

She has since done me onebetter. Somehow she has man­aged to have her friends callher· the minute the dishes areput away on some very impor­tant matter which requires thatshe retreat to the upstairs phonefor an hour or so.

This she usually does with anapt comment 'like "Joe, can youmanage to amuse the childrenwhile I take the ,phone," as ifshe has to discuss extremely im­portant business.

Alas, the children are becom­ing aware of our ruses and areslowly defeating us once again.Jason is particularly effective ashe screams in his three-year oldvoice while kicking the bath­room door.

The girls are more subtle butequally persistent and my daysof one-hour sojourns of readingthe New Yorker or the SaturdayReview have practically come toan end. ·1 have been sabotagingMarilyn's telephone ruse mosteffectively by having to go outto get milk,aspirin, or anythingelse 1 can dI;eam up.

The only thing that enablesus to survive without a nervousbreakdown is the realizationthat Spring is not far awayand at that time the childrenwill be outside and 1 wouldn'twant to miss those glorious mo­ments of quiet after supper.

The Rev. Smith delighted theaudience with a story of "Ver­non's bus," a vehicle that servedboth as a means of an excep­tional child's getting out intothe world and as a center of acommunity commitment.

"If people do something, aboutthe community in which theylive - and the people in thecommunity," he said, "theyworship better in church onSundays."

Father Chretien admitted theneed for laymen to become"more involved" in the problemof exceptional children.

"But I feel it is even morethe duty of the clergy to becomeaware of the roles they shouldplay," he said, adding that, toooften, the clergy has felt "pity,but not concern."

Father Chretien said thatsince he has become associatedwith exceptional children, hehas learned they "not only areyour children, but ours. Theycan teach all clergymen aboutlove-because these children arelove and can teach us and in­struct us in the ways of God."

Mrs. Nicholas, the mother ofan exceptional child who now is21 and a full memebr of thefamily's Jewish congregation inNorth Attleboro, said all thesechildren "need schooling, needrecreation and need 'religiouseducation."

Same NeedsShe explained how she and

her husband began their son'sreligious education with a"special emphasis on our holy­days." Then, she said, "westarted taking him into the syn­agogue for brief periods oftime."

An exceptional child, Mrs.Nicholas' said, "has the samewants, the same needs, the samerights" as a so-called normalchild, the needs for love andacceptance and education.

Mrs. Nicholas has been activein work of the Retarded Chil­dren's Association in the Attle­boros - and she obviously hasnot stopped working.

This, she said, points out inunderstandable fashion the "so­cial, the unitive and the nutri­tive" symbolism of the Eucharist.

"The home," she 'stressed, "isthe primary and the perfectspringboard from which to

But, Father Rizos said, "OurLord Himself taught that therecan be no Resurrection withouta Crucifixion."

Observing that his wife, sinceshe started teaching at NazarethHall in Fall River, has beenimpressed by the "faith and ac­ceptance of God" displayed bythe young pupils there, FatherRiios said it appears that "faithin Christ opens hearts and mindsto the whole outside world,"

Catholic· BoardScores ,RebuffOn State Aid

RICHMOND (NC) -Theschool board of the Rich­mond diocese charged thestate Commission on Con­stitutional Revision with un­fairness for refusing to recom­mend state aid to students inchurch-related elementary andhigh schools.

The board warned in a state­ment that the commission's po­sition, 'if allowed. to stand;"might well mean the death ofChurch-related schools."

The constitutional revisioncommission rejected pleas bysupporters of Catholic educationto amend the present constitu­tion which prohibits state aidto sectarian schools.

Specifically, ,proponents hadappealed for elimination of theword "non-sectarian" in one sec­tion of the constit'ution whichauthorizes state tuition grants tostudents.

The commission, in turningdown this request, said it wouldbe unfortunate if the state issuewere to divide Virginians alongreligious lines.

It claimed that in New Yorka similar fight over the so-calledBlaine Amendment 'had b~en

blamed by some for rejectionof a proposed new constitutionby New York voters.

But the commission did rec­ommend a change in the Vir­ginia constitutio·n to permitmodest state aid to church-affil­iated colleges and universities.This aid would be repayablescholarships to students major­ing in education and a stateagency to help church-relatedinstitutions borrow money forcapital improvements.

See InconsistencyThe school board said it found

the commission's logic puz­zling."

"On the one hand, the com­mission had no qualms in rec­ommending that state aid bemade available to sectarian col­leges and universities," theboard said. "The logic, of thecommission says these institu­tions are educating about one­third of the students enrolled inhigher education in the state,thereby relieving the common­wealth's taxpayers of a greatburden.

"But what of the thousands ofstudents similarly situated insectarian elementary and sec­ondary schools, of whom 35,054are in Catholic schools alone?Are they of absolutely no in­terest to the state, despite thefact that they too are relievingthe taxpayer of a financial bur­den amounting to $17 million peryear in operating costs alone?'"

The school board appealed toVirginians to work for stateaid through the legislature,which must consider the pro­posed constitutional revisionsbefore the 'charter is submittedto the voters.

Declining EnrollmentThe priests expressed urgency

over the fact that some minorseminaries are in danger of clos­ing due to declining enrollment,economic and manpower prob­lems. Other minor seminaries,now enjoying relative success,must look to the future to guar­antee survival and providestructures for real growth anddevelopment, the delegatesagreed.

The delegates, most of whomare seminary rectors and facultymembers, proposed establish­'ment of a study-group whichwould be able eventually to rec­ommend the amalgamation ofspecific seminaries. Such amal­gamations would not only be de­termined by geographical group­ings, but because of some spe­ciali~eci 'services one or the othermight offer, the delegates said.

The proposal made it clear thestudy-group would not be a de­cision-making body, but wouldoffer an ObjeCtive and profes­sional opinion concerning theoptions involved in specific casesof amalgamation.

A simple "Thank-you" means so much! A kind gesture ofthoughtfulness is sometimes all we need to make our efforts seemworthwhile. In the mission field, where frustration is often anext-,door neighbor, gratefulness is appreciated even more.

The following mission incidents mustrate this kind of thought­fulness that gives witness' to a truly living' Christianity.

A certain 'woman from the bush 'country in Africa recentlywalked 40 miles to give a priest 12 oranges. The gift and thejourney were signs of her gratitude 'to him for having savedher daughter's life three years before., Father had been out inthe bush when he had found the little child. He brought her backto the mission hospital where tlie Sisters diagnosed her maladyand operated to relieve a terrible growth on her leg. The womanwished to express her gratitude at once in some tangible way,but she could not because of her poverty. She waited, and threeyears later, she, proudly walked' 40 miles through the bush' with12 oranges to, make her thanksgiving to '.the priest. What a trulyhuman, aDd truly Christian respOnse!

In another are~, there was an old priest who, after 38' years'of missionary work, died, leaving his possessions locked in a safe.The priests who were in, charge of gathering his belongingsthought there must be something tremendously vil1uable in the,safe, since the old priest had taken such great pains to hide the key.When they finally found' the' key and opened the safe, they dis­'covered, to their surprise, only 'a' $20 bill anc;i a note from theirold friend asking that this mon~y be used for refreshments forthose who came to his funeral. A small matter, ,perhaps, but'what consideration thIs old priest had for others!

We can learn much from ·the' example of these two incidents:What· seems'; to be most significant, 'though, is ~the real value inour small acts" of .thoughtfulness and generosity.

, Your sacrifice for the missions need not be huge. Your effortsneed only be' accompanied by a sincere interest in those YQU aretrying to help. In this way, your contribution, whether large orsmall, will mean so much more to those in the mission lands.

SI,LVER SPRING (NC)-Pos­sibilities of amalgamating minors~minaries in the United Stateswere discussed by 55 priestsfrom some 30 dioceses and reli­gious communities during ameeting at Holy Trinity MissionSeminary here in Maryland.

The priests, mostly from theeastern U.S., were delegates ofbishops and religious superiorsinvited to attend the open dis­cllssion sponsored by the Mis­si9nary Servants of the MostH~ly Trinity.

The discussion was'based onfour topics: me'aning of the term"amalgamation"; reasons foramalgamation; problems, amal­gamation may' entail, and'somecohcrete measures the gr'oupmight take. ;',

The delegates decided "amal­gamation" is a :broad term, indi­ca,Fn.!t every varfetyof coopera­tion from sharing of personneland facilties to total fusion ofseminaries into one institution,Such terms as collaboration, co­alition 'and consortium wereused to describe some forms ofamalgamation.

In Latin AmericanBy Bm'bam Wa1'd

In two' earlier columns, we -looked at changes in agri­cultural policy-in East Afrka, in Pakistail-whichgivepromise of breaking the contemporafydeadlock on theland in developing countr-ie:? This ". deadlock is, quitesimply, a farming system .which does not change andgrow.. As a result, it failsto keep food expanding illstep with population, it allowsfood imports to increase andagricultural ex­ports to stag-"nate, providesno market for':,local industry,releases land­less peasants tocities unpre­pared ,to givethem work andis, in general,at the root ofgrowing vio­lence and despairall, through the developingworld,

Nowhere are the risks inher­ent in stagnant agriculturegreater than in Latin Amer~ca.

It is an area of immensely rapidgrowth of population. In the,mid-sixties, there were some, 240million Latin Americans. By theyear 2,000, there will be over700 millions and another 100million will be added every fouror five years. To meet this dizzy­ing 'expansion, the output of

'basic foodstuffs -corn, .rice,beans, wheat,' beef-must morethan double before 1980.. Yet output at present is not iIi

fact keeping pace 'with the surgeof pop,ulation. Twenty per centof the continent's export earn­ings are already spent on im­porting food, whereas it was anet exporter of grain before thesecond World War. To hope todouble production is thus quitesimply unrealistic unless drasticchanges are made iIi agriculturalpolicy and practice.

Land ReformThis is the background ·to the

discussion of agrarian reform inLatin America. Over most of thearea, the large landowners aredominant. About 10 per cent ofthe farmer:s own 90 per cent ofthe land.

Over 100,000,000 peasants, athird of .the continent's presentpopulation, work in conditionsnot far removed from serfdom-as day laborers, as sharecrop­pers, as owners or renters of mi­nute fragm,ents of land, manyof them still bound, as in Czarist<Rusia, to give specified days ofwork to their "lord," all of themvirtually living at subsistencelevel and' entering neither themarket as consumers nor' theState as responsible ,voters.

Critical Change:While this heavy mass of pov­

erty holds Latin America downat one end of the spectrum, atthe other, an old feudal traditionof 'land as a sou'rce 'not produc­tion but of status, and 'securityprevents the emergence of theworking landlord. With rare ex­ceptions, the landholders investlittle, spend much and much ofthat abroad. The result iswretched inefficiency. N~arly 50per cent of the labor force' is tiedto agriculture. It only produces20 per cent of the continent'sgoods and services,

Buffalo Bishop McN~lty Says Church HearsDiscordant Voices Attacking Authority

BUFFALO (NC) - BishopJames A. McNulty of Buffalohas called upon Catholics to de­fend. the Church against noisy,discordant voices.

Speaking at installation cere­monies for new officers of theBuffalo Council of CatholicMen, the Bishop said:

"The Church today is underattack from enemies withoutand within."

Far from being anything new,Bishop McNulty declared, thishas been typical of the historyof the Church. "Her DivineVISITS U. S.: Father Tarcisio

while rural areas have grownless than two per cent.

,Although no one knows whyurbanization increases the crimerate, and although rates for va­rious crimes differ widely fromcity to city so that conditions ina given city cannot be predic­ted, this urbanization has re­sulted in an increased volumeand rate of crime.

Increased Wealth .Affluence: Since 1940 national

wealth (measured ,in constantdollars) has increased fourfold- far outstripping populationgrowth. This increased. affluencemeans that there are far more r:goods around to be stolen, andalso that property may be lesswell protected than formerlyand hence more accessible totheft.

Still, the crime informationsystem is neither accurateenough nor complete enough, tobe sure to what extent crime isincreasing, .nor is research intowhy individuals commit crimeor what social conditions fostercrime .extensive enough for anyfirm conclusions to be drawnabout why crime is increasing.

At the same time, ArchbishopDearden will promulgate thesynod document-the legislativeact that will shape the future ofthe ar~hdiocese. .

The nine synod topics, corre­spondjng to _the nine areas ofinterest Hi' the archdiocese are:laity, rellgic,us, clergy, worship,education, missionary activity,

prophecy, as more and morepeople deal with their fear bydisengaging themselves from re­sponsible participation in the af­fairs of society in search of aprivate security.

To find a middle course be­tween these dangers, it may beuseful' to look at the, facts aboutthe incidence and nature ofcrime in our spciety, particular­ly crime against the person.'

Cause for ConcernIs crime, particularly crime

against the person, increasing?The only available statistics say'''Yes.'' According to the annual"Uniform Crime Report - 1967"issued by the FBI, over 3.8 mil­lion serious crimes were com­mitted in the U. S.. in 1967, aI6 per cent increase over 1966.

Most of these crimes, however;were crimes against property(burglary, larceny of $50 andover, auto theft), which totalled:3:,307,000 or 87 per cent of thetotal.

The crimes that concernAmerica the most, the crimesthat affect their personal safety--murder, forcible rape, robbery,aggravated 'assault - totaled494,500, 'or 13 per cent of thetotal. Nevertheless, there isc,ause for concern.

.Since 1960 the rate of crimesagainst. persons per 100,000 per­sons has increased 57 per centand ,the rate ,of crimes' againstproperty has increased 73 percent. Also, studies show that theac:tual amount of crime in 'theU. S. - particularly propertycrime-is several times that re­ported to the police.

Demand Police ServiceNo one really knows 'why

crime is increasing. 1n part, theincrease of reported crime maybe' the result of changing socialexpectation's and of the profes­sionalization of the police.

Where once offenses in slumar,cas and segregated ethnicminority group districts wentunreported by the residents ofth~~ area or'were' ignored by thepolice, people in these areas nowhave a strong feeling of. needfor police I protection and de­malnd and, increasingly receivenprmal police service,

The continuing professional­ization of the police, in addition,probably has resulted in greaterefficiency in detecting crime,more formal actions and recordsand less informal disposition ofindividual cases-all of whichlead to a greater, amount ofrecorded crime.

Other more substantive fac­~tors, such 'as the follOWing, have

undoubtedly played a role also:Urbanization 'Factor

Age composition of the popu.,lation: A high percentage of allcrime is committed by the 17-24 'age group, Since 1961, due to thehigh postwar birth rate, this agegroup has ·been increasing morerapidly than the other groups inthe population.· Thus, even ifthe cri":le rate ,were static, ,the,volume of crime could. be ex­pected to grow.

Ujrbanization: The volume a'ndrate of, most major crimes arerelated to the size· of the, popu­lation group: The larger thegrouping (as in cities), the high­

.er the volume and rate of crime.Since 1930 city population hasincreased by over 50 per cent,

By Msgl'. Geo1'ge G. Higgins'

One' of the most widey discussed issues in the recentPresidential campaign was the problem of crime in Amer­

.ica. Every major candidate addressed himself to this sub­ject and pledged that he would work to reduce crime, andto make our streets safe. Thecrime issue is immensely dif­ficult and complex to de­scribe and analyze. For onething, as the President's Com:'mission on Law Enforcementand Adminis­·tration said in

, its report in1967, .....""'crime' is not asingle simplephenome­non that can beexamined, an~

alyzed, and de­scribed in onepiece, It occursin every partof the country'and in every stratum of society.

"Its.practitioners and its victimsare people of all ages, income,and backgrounds. Its trends aredifficult to ascertain. Its causesare legion. Its cures are specu­lative and controversial."

Further, crime as a politicalissue and as an individual con­cern can be said to involve farmore than the phenomenon ofcrime itself. In a broad sense thecrime problem is also a matterof fear and anxiety. It is amatter of people too anxiousand fearful to walk the streetsat night, to frequent their parks,to talk to strangers. It is a mat­ter of people losing a sense ofpersonal' security. '

It is a .matter of peopletrying to ensure and protectthat security by putting addi­tional locks on the door, buyingguns and(or watchdogs, stayinghome at night, taking cabsrather than walking or usingpublic transportation, avoidingstrangers, organizing vigilantegroups, etc.

Corrosive EffectThe crime problem is, in

short, an anxiety that has a cor­rosive effect on the openness,the sociability, and the eI,ljoy­mt!l)t of American life."'fhe root ·of this anxiety andfear is to be found not only inthe facts ab'out the incidence ofcrime' but more generally in theseeming uncontrollability ofevents. .

The crime issue in this sensehas as much to do with the, trau­matic upheaval of race relations,the riots in the cities and on thecampuses, the deliberately. pre­cipitated violence of the politi­cal extremes of Right and Left,the: assassinations of nationalleaders and the gap in commu­nication and understanding ,be­tween the generations as it doeswith the occurrence of crimeagainst persons or property andthe enforcement of, the law.

The, crime issue in this senseis fundamentally an anxiety thatthe social order is dissolving"that events ar~ out of control.

Twofold DangerThe dangers of this fear and

anxiety are twofold. On the onehand, this anxiety can give riseto a call for order, for controlof ·the seeming absurdity and ir­rationality of events, for secur­ity against unpredictable dariger,regardless of the means used.This could end in a totalitarianor closed society.

The danger on the other handis that tne fear that· the socialor~er is dissolving can becomea saowbcilling, self-fulfilling

Two CoUeges PlanJoint Campaign

CANTON (NC) - Two smallliberal arts colleges here-oneCatholic, the othe'r Quaker­have joined forces in a joint

'community campaign to raisemore than $2 million in capitalfunds.

Walsh College, operated bythe Brothers of Christian In­struction, and Malone College, aQuaker school, will each receive$1.1 million of the goal. Thisamount, combined with federalfunds awarded or anticipated; isexpected to enable the two col­leges to begin construction ofsome new ,buildings and reno­vation of others.

Combined enrollment of thetwo co-educational colleges is2,124-three times the total ofabout a decade- ago when theywere founded.

Pat, formerly on the faculty'of Bridgewater State College,

is now director of instructionfor perceptually handicappedchildren in the Fall River schoolsystem.

Also a teacher is Janet, whoteaches ,departmentalized sixthgrade mathematics at Potters­ville School in Somerset., She isa graduate 'of Sacred Hearts'Academy in Fall River and- at­tended the College of the SacredHearts and Fordham University.She's been teaching CCD classessince 1954. '

Pat and Janet met, appropri­ately enough, at a CCD institute.Both have taught the teachersat CCD-sponsored courses inelementary teaching methodsfor catechetics. ,Additionally, Pathas served for seven years onthe Diocesan CCD board, andJanet is a parish council mem­ber at St. Dominic's.

They agree that more CCDteachers are needed in the FallRiver Diocese,' but, warns Janet,"if people are forced into teach­ing, it's not worth it." However,with 44,000 children currentlyenrolled in elementary and highschool CCD classes, the need forinstructors is obvious.

Reason for InvolvementMaintaining discipline is some­

times a problem in CCD classes,admit Janet and Pat, but addthat parish cooperation andwell-planned programs reducethis factor to a minimum. Alsoa help, of course, is the know­how acquired at CCD teachers'courses. Anyone who wants toget involved, they advise, cancontact his or her pastor or theDiocesan CCD Center on High­land Avenue in Fall River.

Why get involved? Pat has theanswer to that. "It's to help peo­ple understand themselves ashuman beings and as membersof the body of Christ,"

lil'iI D~$mis$~1NEW YORK (NC)

Members of St. Mary of theAssumption parish on StatenIsland have rallied to thesupport of their pastor who wasinvolved in the controversialwithdrawal of the principal andtwo other nuns from the parishschool.

About 400 parishioners signeda petition backing Msgr. JohnK. Cleary, the 75-year-old pas­tor who called for the with­drawal of three nuns afterthey were accused by parentsand the school's assistant prin­cipal, Mrs. Patricia E. Sohm, ofwatering down Catholic doctrinein the school's religion classes.

The nuns are members of theChicago province of the SchoolSisters of St. Francis, which is­sued a statement defendingthem as degreed and profes­sionally qualified for the sub­jects which they taught.

Basic Disagreement

The statement said the prov­ince planned to end its affilia­tion with the school next Junebecause of a basic disagreementbetween the nuns and the pastoron the subject of the Church andreligious education.

It added that Msgr. Cleary hadasked the province not to waituntil June to withdraw the Sis­ters and had ordered them toleave the convent over theChristmas holidays. The princi­pal was replaced by a memberof another religious communityand lay teachers replaced theother nuns.

Most of the parishion'ers sup­ported the pastor against thedissatisfaction of those who ac­cused' 'hlJh ibi l;ielng' ,fdevoted to"rightwing" causes, Others de­fended the nuns as "good teach­ers."

Meanwhile Msgr. Joseph T.Riordan, the district superin­tendent of Catholic schools, de­nied that Msgr. Cleary would beretired from his post as a "puni­tive" action on the part of arch­diocesan officials. He said pressreports suggesting impendingretirement for the pastor wereprobably correct, but said thiswas only because of Msgr.Cleary's age.

The New York archdiocesehas establislied 70 as the option­al retirement age for pastorsand 75 as the mandatory retire­ment age, and Msgr. Cleary isone of about 20 pastors 'who areaffected by the new retirementpolicy in the current year.

ROME (NCl ,·-The Holy Seehas issued a vciled but unmis­takable warning against Italy'spending divorce legislation, andhas called on public officials tohelp preserve family life.

In a message to Italy's FamilyFront the papal letter. signedby Amleto Cardinal Cicognani,Papal Secretary of State, statedthat if certain pending legisla­tion were enacted it would "at­tack the stability of the familynucleus,"

The letter did not refer to anyspecific legislation, but the Ital­ian Parliament has a bill beforeit which would pcrmit divorcein such cases as insanity of aspouse, a long jail sentencc. ora serious crime against the othcrspouse or their children.

The Pope said "no one is un­aware that there are certainprovisions which if introduced,would attack the very stabilityof the family nucleus."

He also spoke of "snares" inthe press and entertainmentfields where some take it uponthemsel ves to be spokesmen forpublic and private morality.

DETROIT (NC)-The "grow­ing complexity" of the Univer­sity of Detroit's operations, plus"heavy emphasis on the long­range, ten-year plan" now beingdeveloped caused a division ofresponsibilities in the office ofacademic-alairs, Father MalcolmCarron, S.J., president, said.

As a result, he a.ppointed Dr.A. Raymond Baralt, Jr., 50, whohas becn vice-president of aca­demic affairs, to the offiCe ofvice-president for administra­tion; and Father James V. Mc­Glynn, S.J.. 4!1, graduate schooldean. as vice-president of aca­demic affairs.

Dr. BaraH will devote full timeto university planning, coordi­nating and space programs, Fa­ther Carron said, while FatherMcGlynn, who will continuetemporarily as graduate schooldean, will be responsible for theuniversity's colleges, schools,divisions and libraries.

Father Carron said the futureof the university depends on"most effective management ofall resources and the most ac­curate and imaginative planningfor the years ahead."

That, to him, is as it shouldbe, since "I'm not teaching acomparative religion course-Iam teaching wha,t I hope is anobjective course on the historyof religion in the United States,"

His subject is a natural forFather Bebis.

American Church HistoryHis particular field of speci­

alization is American OhurchHistory-his doctoral disserta­tion will deal with the Ameri­canization of the Greek Ortho­dox Church in this country.

Last week, the Notre Dame deNamur Sisters at Stang sug­gested Father ·Bebis arrange anecumenical program for a gen­eral assembly, as part as theschool observance of .ChristianUnity Week.

It was no sooner said thandone.

"The Rev. John AaUs of FirstPresbyterian Church read theOld Testament and gave a mes­sage, I read the New Testamen.tand spoke 'This Age of Instan,tCommunications,' and FatherMike McPartland said a prayer,"

The ecumenical program was afitting way for Father Bebis toend his second week at Stang­since ecumenism was the way hestarted there.

"I heard about .the possibilityof teaching from a nun at ameeting of thc EcumenicalGroup in New Bedford," he re­calls.

Now he has a full time jobfielding queries of 'his Stang stu­dents during the week.

Does he think he'll survive?"Surviye?" he asks. "I'm en.,

REV. CONSTANTINE BEBIS

Metropolitan UrgesChristian UnityMEM~HIS (NC)-Metropoli­

tan Nikodim, leading RussianOrthodox prelate, paid an un­scheduled visit to the NationalCouncil of Churches board meet.­ing here and issued a ,plea forworld peace and Christian unity.

The 39-year-old church leader,chairman of the department ofexternal affairs of the OrthodoxMoscow patriarchate, told boardmem'bers that the search forworld peace and Christian unit.yare crucial tasks.

The NCC board members whorepresent most of the majorProtestant and Orthodoxchurches in the U. S., gave theSoviet prelate a standing ova­tion at the close of his speech.

The Metropolitan stopped .inMemphis on his way to a meet­ing of thc executive committeeof the World Council ofChurchcs in Tulsa, Okla.

"Some people say this is theage of doubt .My feeling is thatdoubt is the beginning of faith-what. I would hope to teachmy students is to think objec­tively and evaluate their ideas,"

Father Bebis, says Rev. Pa­trick J. O'Neill, Diocesan super­intendent of schools, is believed"the first non-Catholic clergy­man to teach on a regular basisin a Diocesan school.

"We feel he has excellent cre­dentials - and an excellentknowledge of the' area in whichhe is teaching and we feel fortu­nate to have him."

Despite the fact he is of a dif­ferent faith than most of his stu­dents, Father Bebis says therehave been no questions abouthis religion.

Not that he is not touched 9Ythem.

"They bring into sharper focuswhat young people .are'thinkingtoday and what their .questionsare," says Father Bebis. "I enjoyit,"

Places Limitation'On Family Size

BOMBAY (NC)-The Mah­rashtra government has decidedto deny educational concessionsto families with more than threechildren, a move to promotefamily planning.

Concessions will be withheldin the case of children whoseparents do not limit their fami­lies to three children or to theirpresent size, if they alreadyhave more than three children.The concessions threatened tobe stopped will include grantsfor books and clothes and tui­tion grants for children ofteachers and those studying ingovernment public schools.

The newest memoer of the Stang High School faculty is finding his approximately100 senior students "smart and highly intelligent young pepole." However, although hesees them as "highly idealistic," he is irritated by their tendency to "make sweeping­generalizations they can't substantiate." In other words, says Rev. Constantine Bebis,pastor of St. George GreekOrtnodox Church in NewBedford, "they are typicalAmerican young people whohave profound problems andquestions-they ask for answersbluntly and they want to know."

'Father Bebis, who holds bach­elor's degrees in theology anddivinity from the former HolyCross Greek Orthodox TheologySchool in Brookline, with gradu­ate studies at Harvard DivinitySchool, currently is working forhis doctorate in church historyfrom Boston University Schoolof Theology. His three-day-a­week course at the North Dart­mouth School, he emphasizes,"is a course in American religi.,ous history and thought, not acourse in religion."

When he was first engaged forthe special program, he admits,"I was tremendously enthusias­tic and exhilarated-it seemed 'achance to transmit to otherssome of the things I have becnstudying for so long."

Purpose of his course, Fa'therBebis says, "is to try to presenton a secular, intelligent level,the religious aspects of Ameri­can life in philosophy, culturcand history."

Whether or not people liketo admit it, he says, "religion hasplayed-and is playing-an im­portant part in shaping Ameri.­can historY."

He feels that in order to under­stand the effect of religion onAmerican history, "you have tounderstand modern Europeanhistory, from which so much ofour thinking stems."

Status of ReligionDuring the semester course,

he hopes "to bring out to mystudents some of the contem­porary problems of religion allof us face today-what is thestatus of religion today."

His first classes at Stang were"quiet," he. recalls. "After oneof the first, a couple of boyscame out into the hall with meand asked, 'Are you going to letus ask questions?"

Since then, he says, "they havecomplete freedom to ask anyquestions."

What are some of the querieshe has faced?

"They question the future ofreligion in America. They ques­tion the sincerity of adults, theneed of religious study, whetheradults practice what they preach,the values that have been heldup to them,"

As the father of four, FatherBebis admits with a shrug ofhis shoulders that he has "heardthese questions before."

The Shuberts' story begins in1882, in Syracuse, N. Y., as a,Jewish peddler named Szeman­ski ushers his wife and six chil­4ren,-lately arrived from Russia,into their first house in the newworld.

The theatreworld fascinated them.

But that they could ever' be­come prominent and powerfulin it seemed· utterly unlikely. Inthe 1880's and thereafter, theKlaw-Erlanger syndicate en­joyed a virtual monopoly of thebusiness, controlling the NewYork houses, most of the thea­tres across the country,and thebooking situation. No competi­tion was brooked, and no rivals.

There they were sardonicallypermitted to take on the HeraldSquare Theatre, which was re­garded as jinxed, since it housednothing but flops. Under Shu­bert management, it began tohouse hits. •

UMass Varsity SW'ing-ManPhysical Ed Major Plans Teacher-Coach Career

By Luke Sims

John Shockro is in histhird year at the Universityof Masaschusetts and secondas a member of the Redmen'svarsity basketball squad.

The Attleboro resident is aformer high school hoop stand­out in that city and In less thantwo seasons proved his worthas a memb'er of the UMASScollege squad.

Shockro is the son of Mr. andMrs. Raymond Shockro of 51George Street, Attleboro and isa member of St: John's Parish inthat city. He is the younger oftwo sons and has three youngersisters.

Michael is a graduate of DeanJunior College while Rai Janand JoAnn are presently stu­dents at Thatcher Junior High.Patricia Lee, youngest of theShockro family, is a grammarschool student.

Although he hasn't scored ata prolific pace this season (1.8ppg), Head Coach Jack Leamanconsiders Shockro one of thebetter defensive players on theroster.

John has seen action in eightof the Redmen's first nine en­counters this season and hasbeen used as a swing-man, al­ternating between the guardand forward slot.

His biggest game this seasoncame in an 80-79 overtime lossto a tough Tennes~ee',lTech teamin the annual Evansville Tour­nament in Indiana.

Trailing by 16 points midwaythrough the second halt theRedmen rallied and eventuallytied the game. at the final buz­zer in regulation play at 66-66.John scored a hig basket in theovertime that brought UMASSto within one point (75-74) withone minute lett.

Shockro's efforts when theRedmen used a zone press to getthe regulation tie were instru­mental in three steals resultingin high praise from his coach.

The 6-2 Shockro suffered anunfortunate injury during theearly stages of the 1966-67 sea­son and missed the entire year.The injury was so serious thatit kept him out of school formuch of the year as well.

As a freshman he was one ofthe team's leading scorers aswell as defensive aces. His bestshot was, and still is, a long out­side "Set or jumper.

This season, John is shootingat a 55 per cent clip' from thefield as well as the foul line andhas pulled down 13 reboundsto rank among the leaders whohave seen only limited action.

The figures are considerablybetter than last year's markswhen John boasted a field goalpercentage of 40 and a free

Church LeadersScore VandalismIn Brooklyn

BROOKLYN (NC)-Bish­op Francis J. Mugavero ofBrooklyn and other religiousleaders here issued a jointstatement condemning recentvandalism in Brooklyn andLong Island as "irresponsibleand hateful attempts to hurt ourneighbors of whatever faith."

In addition to Bishop, Muga­vero, the statement was 'signedby Episcopal Suffragan BishopRichard Martin of Long Island;the Rev. Robert W. Howard,president of the Brooklyn divi­sion, Protestant Council of theCity of New York; and RabbiGurt Klappholz, president of theBrooklyn Board ,of Rabbis.

The statement said:"Our religious tradi,tion teaches

us that the love of God cannotbe separated from the love ofour neighbor, nor from respectfor our neighbor's person, dig­nity, feelings and rights. Thusthe prophet Micah teaches us:'This is what the Lord asks ofyou:' only this, to act justly, tolove tenderly and to walkhumbly with your God (Micah6-8).' .

Hateful Attempts"We therefore condemn as

contrary to the very heart ofour religion, as well as contraryto our American' ,heritage, irre­sponsible and hateful attemptsto hurt our neighbors 'of what­ever faith in that which theyhold most sacred, their houses ofreligious worship and study.

"We hope and' pray that nomore such attempts will be­smirch the good name of ourcity, and that 'a growing sensi­tivity to the needs and rights ofothers will create a spirit ofbrotherhood that must enrich' usall."

Earlier, Mayor John V. Lind­~.ay of New York announced thecreation of a special police unitto investigate fires and acts ofvandalism in religious institu­tions. The announcement fol­lowed a rash of incidents insynagogues and Jewish com­munity centers at the end oflast year.

Lindsay said 32 fires were re­ported in religioLis institutionslast year, 14 in Jewish instHu­tions. This compared with 27:eligious institution. fires, eightIn Jewish buildings, in 1967.

The mayor said there was noevidence of a city-wide organ­ized effort to desecrate religiousbuildings.
