NEW YORK (NC)-Father Morton A. HUl, S.J., be­lieves that if the Presidential Commission on Obscentiyand Pornography continues in the direction in which itis being guided by chairman William B.

Religious Education' Highe§tGreatest Opportunity

Confraternity of Christian Doc­trine, campus ministries, and' thecontinuing education of adults.

"The religion teacher is thesingle most important factor inthe religious program of theschool." High priority should be

,given, therefore, to the recruit­ment, selection, and training ofreligion teachers, and the in-ser­vice development of such teach­ers should be encouraged.

SeeChaUengeu

WASHINGTON (NC)-Religi­ous education'should be flexibleenough to meet the challenge ofmodern times while at the sametime communicating the authen­tic teachings of the Church, ac­cording to a statement issued bydirectors of religious educationfor Catholic schools.

"Religious education repre­sents the highest challenge andthe greatest opportunity facingthe Catholic educator today,"the statement says.

"In the current complex andchanging situation," it continues,"prudence and caution are call­ed for-but so, too, are courage,

. and willingness to adapt to thenew needs of modern times."

The statement was drafted ata recent meeting at the CenacleRetreat House, Metairie, La., bysome 40 diocesan and religiouscommunity directors of religiouseducation for Catholic schools.It was released here by the Na­tional Catholic Educational As­sociation, which sponsored themeeting. .

The statement deplores the at­tacks made by some groups andindividuals "against all the ca­techetical developments withinthe Church and almost all mod­ern curricular materials.".

But it also cautions schooladministrators about instruction­al "materials which may appearto embrace modern catecheticalinsights but which in reality donot." ,

. Bishop First .Other key points made in the

statement include:"The bishop is the first cate­

chist in a diocese."Th~ essence of catecI1etical in­

struction lies neither in its totalidentification. with "memorizeddoctrinal formulation'" nor· in anapproach "which denies any doc­trinal content as belonging tocatechesis;'" .

He will succeed Father JohnT. McDonough. who has headedthe division (formerly the New­man Apostolate) since 1965.Father McDonough will return to

,his home diocese of Cleveland.

The changes,' effective Sept. 1,were announced by Bishop Jo­seph L. Bernardin, general secre­tary of the U. S. Catholic Confer­ence.

"If he (the white man) doesn'twant to give us his money onour terms, let him keep hismoney and we will keep oursoul," he said.

According to Mr. Vivian, apoll has indicated that racism isstronger "in the church thanoutside." He added that theblack revolution itself "may bethe means for the survival ofChristianity."

Mr. Vivian said there is a"clash between independenceand charity." Charity as prac­ticed by many, "is a sickness inAmerican culture and particu­larly in the Church," he said.

"If what you' do for anotherdoes more for you than for him,you are not involved in love,but in sickness," he declared.

DAYTON (NC)-The issue forthe black man in America canbe summed up in the word "in­dependence," the Rev. C.T. Viv­ian of Chicago, said in the key­note talk at the second conven­tion of the National Black Sis­iters' Conference at the Univer­sity. of Dayton.

Director, of the Urban FeIlow­ship and Internship. program inChicago and a form(lr executivecommittee member of the Na­tional Christian Lead.ership Con­ference, Mr. Vivian said blacksmust have "an independencethat aIlows for maximum ful­fillment of black humanity."

. That cannot be achieved "when .others are in charge" of the des­tiny of blacks, he added.

He rejected integration as· atool to achieve blaclt rights. In-'tegration is a "dead concept,"

:-he said, adding that it was kill­ed by whites, not bnacks.

In 10 years, the civil rgihtsmovement has changed and "weare now in another kind of rev­olution," he asserted.

Two Alternatives"We believed that men of

good will would band togetherand that real change wouldcome," he said. Men of goodwill "make no dncisions" inAmerica and are a part of the"niggerdom" of this country, hecharged.

He claimed that American so­ciety has only 'two alternatives,"to destroy us or let us de­liver ourselves."

The speaker attacked the Na-­tional Association for the Ad­vancement of Colored People,declaring it· "has lost its pur­pose and. hasn't yet come into

'j the 20th Century: The' NAACP;which he termed the "NationalAssociation of Certain People,"opposes racial separatism.

Black unity is essential, if theblack is to achieve independence,he told the nuns. Blacks havebeen so separated, he said, that"We have despised each otherand tr-ied to imitate everythingthat was not us * :) * The newc&!hmunity ·will not evolve outof the middle class white com­munity."

Praises Black NunsThe effort for black unity

can't be effective "with whitepeople around," he claimed. Mr.Vivian praised the black nunsfor forming a separate black or­ganization to strive for unity.

LONDON (NC) - An Engilishpastor has decided to bequeathhis priceless collection of G.K.Chesterton books and manu­scripts to Canada because of alack of interest in the greatCatholic writer in this country.

The priest, Father Kevin Scan­nell, pastor of Shipley, York­shire, said this week: "No one inBritain seems to apreciate thatChesterton was a great theo­logical and philosophical writerand a brilliant thinker. It is dif­ferent on the other side of theAtlantic.

"I shall bequeath my collec­tion to the Pontifical Instituteof Medieval Studies in Torontowhere the material will be freelyavailable to anyone writing phil­osophical or theological themes."

NEW YORK (NC) - TheNational Committee for aPolitical Settlement in Viet­nam called on President Nix­on to issue a special messageto Congress before its Summerrecess, asking for a clear com­mitment of American financialsupport for President Thieu's re­cently announced land reformprogram.

They also urged an initial ap­propriation to take effect as

, soon as the bill clears the SouthVietnamese National Assembly.

Among the committee co­chairman signing the statementwas Bishop John J, Dougherty,auxiliary of the Newark archdi­ocese and a long-time critic ofthe Vietnam war. -

The land reform bill will comebefore a special session of theSouth Vietnamese National As­sembly. It will give all of SouthVietnam's one million' share­cropper families immediate own­ership of the land they farm.

The landlords will receive fullcompensation through a' $400million pay-out in cash and

"bonds, spread over' eight years.This is less than the cost of oneweek of the war, the committeepointed out.

New Sacred HeartsNine Years

By Patll'icia Francis:

Some 60 years ago, the first Sacred Hearts Fathers came into the Fan River Dio­cese at the invitation of~~le then Bishop Stang "to assist with pastoral work in thediocese." Those first priests-who.came here from Belgium-founded what eventuallywas to become the American Province of the order, with headquarters in Fairhaven.

Today, the A mer i canProvince not only still ex­ists but is 'flourishing. It al­so is misnamed.

Because, while "it all grewfrom here," explains the Rev.Fintan Sheeran of Galway, Ire­land, who assumed the post ofprovincial about two monthsago, it now takes in not only theUnited States, including thevice-province of California, butJapan, Ireland, England and theBahamas."

It also comprises within itsfolds approximately 190 priests,20 brothers and some 50 semi­narians.

Father Sheeran, 39, laughswhen asked if he isn't young tohead such a widespread terri­tory.

"I guess so," he says. "Butthat's kind of a trend in thechurch right now."

Have Bag, Will TravelTwenty years in the order, the

dynamic provincial - whosejob includes "a considerableamount" of traveling - is theson of Mr. and Mrs. LawrenceSheeran, who now live in Dub­lin.

Also in Ireland are threebrothers, Lawrence who "livesin the country," and Williamand Noel, and a sister, Marie,Mrs. Jack Burke, who all livein Dublin.

"Practicaly everybody lives inDublin these days," Father sayswryly.

Father entered the SacredHearts order at the House of'Study in Cootehill; Ireland.Later he studied at the order'sseminary at Jaffrey, N.'H., andstill later did a year of graduatework in theology, English andpsychology at Catholic Univer-sity. •

Philosophy ProfHis first assignment after his

ordination at Jaffrey in 1955was in Cootehill, where he spenta year. Then he returned toJaffrey for a nine-year stay asa member of the faculty, ','teach­ing philosophy mostly."

Now, as provincial, he hasseen Jaffrey close its doors toseminarians-and will supervisethe move of the House of Theol­ogy to Washington.

There it will become a partof the Washington TheologicalCoalition, a .study· center spon­sored "by seven different reli­gious communities, all Catholic,"he says.

Sharing the responsibility­and the expenses-of the newcenter with the Sacred HeartsFathers will be the Carmelites,Augustinians, Oblates of St.Francis de Sales, the Francis­cans, the Missionary Servants ofthe Most Holy Trinity and theViatorians.

"You can't educate in thecountry, the educators say, youhave to be in a university typecenter," Father Sheeran says.

"Besides, sharing means youcan provide faculty membersand facilities no one communitycould provide alone. It shouldimprove academic excellence."

Why is California a "viceprovince" instead of an integralpart of the American Province?

usee DirectorAsks ExtensionOf Voting Act

WASHINGTON (NC)"Black voters of the Southmust be given time as wellas legal support to freethemselves from the repressivestructures which have held themdown for over a century," saysFather John McCarthy of theU. S. Catholic Conference.

On behalf of the USCC De­partment of Social Development,Father McCarthy has urged theSenate constitutional rights sub­committee to extend the VotingRights Act of 1965.

Need for TimeDespite "remarkable signs of

progress," statistics indicate thatin some areas, Negroes "are stillbeing selectively excluded fromfull participation in the demo­cratic process," as documentedin the 1968 report of the U.S.Commission on Civil Rights, ac­cording to Father McCarthy.

"Obviously, 100 years of ex­ploitation and intimidation can­not be overcome in five shortyears and it might even -be pre­sumptuous to assume that theycould be completely overcome inanother five years. Inbred fearsand prejudices die slowly," andblack voters need time to freethemselves, Father McCarthy as­serted.

Literacy Tests"The American people do not

want to go backwards," he em­phasized.

"The forces which once over­saw the disenfranchisement ofNegroes are still ready to enactretrogressive legislation," FatherMcCarthy declared.

"These elements must not begiven the. opportunity to under­mine any of the tenuous accom­plishments of the last four years.The simple extension of the Vot­ing Rights Act as it stands willbe the most sure and expeditiousway of preventing this from hap­pening," he said.

Father McCarthy fur the rstated that through experiencewith minority groups, particular­ly the Spanish-speaking, his of­fice is sympathetic to the viewsthat literacy tests throughout the .country should be legislatedagainst. .

Nationwide Application"We feel, however, that to de­

bate that issue at this time wouldonly delay beyond its expirationdate the passage of legislationextending the Voting' RightsAct," and therefore support im­mediate extension of the presentact and "recommend that sub­sequent consideration be givento the nationwide application ofVoting Rights legislation," Fa­ther McCarthy concluded.

That wraps the whole situation up into a neat solu­tion, but the fact is that families and nations and the world- all are made up of individuals. And the strength of thewhole is the strength of all its components. '

In the midst of all the activity taking place today,movements on an area and national scale to bring aboutchanges in the civic and ecclesiastical climate of the coun­try, it is still good to remember that the individual doescount and can hav(~ an 'effect on the whole. Many peoplehave little confidence in the individual, in his effect on thewhole, and thIs causes them to think of change only interms of massive movements, of great sweeping reforms,and not in the quiet day-by-day progress that individualsand families can and do make.

Bishop Malone confirms inlarge parishes each year, andsmaller parishes every otheryear, or every third year. Inparishes where he confirmsevery two years, seventh graderswill be included in the Confirma­tion class.

Father Boyle, provincial su­periqr of the Passionists of theChicago province, said the Pre­cious Blood chapter is the 56thhe has attended.

But Waiting is KBUi.ngBy Joseph and Marilyn Roderick

'Only a few minutes walk from where we are now liv­ing and where I grew up as a boy, there is a small woodedarea which borders a cemetery and which makes a greatplace to take the ehildren on excursions in the early eve­ning hours. Jason is particu­larly fond of the area be­cause he plays all sorts ofimaginary games as we walkthrough, the woods on "Indianpaths." For the past few weeks,we have been making nightlyexcursions through the woodspicking blueberries and blackraspberries an!! just having agrand time.

With all of the rain we havehad, we have been finding allsorts of mushrooms growing inthe shaded areas of the woodsunder trees, popping up throughthe leaves, squeezing out of the

. crevices in the rocks, and injust every imaginable place.Jason has been delighted withour finds and although we justlook at the mushrooms, I havebeen just as surprised as he withour discoveries. .

Mushroom HuntsWhen I was a very young

boy I remember going into thewoods with a neighbor, Mrs.Lowe, .who has since moved to

'California, and picking mush­rooms. Mrs. Lowe was one ofthose rare individuals who knewthe difference between poison­ous and eatable mushrooms andwho had faith in her knowledge.I know the difference accordingto the book but I wouldn't daretest my knowledge. I much pre­fer the extra. expense of buyingmushooms at a vegetable stand.

One has to be impressed bythe beauty and variety of themushrooms' which are growingin abundance as a result of allthe rain we have had this Sum-

Their colors are re­markable and yet there is some­thing eerie about their _consist­ency which· gives me the feelingthat they are better left alonethan disturbed. Even Jason, whohas very little fear at his age, iscareful to look for elves onlyunder acceptable looking mush­rooms. The elf story, inciden­tally, got me into all sorts oftrouble. I couldn't resnst tellingJason that we had to be carefulof the mushrooms because I hadheard that the "little people"use' them for umbrellas when itrains.

NEW YORK (NC)-How does'does the Catholic. Church and itsinstitutions serve the needs ofAmerican society?

To help answer this commonquestion, the U. S. Catholic ~on­

ference has produced as a publicservice with the' Catholic Com­munications Foundation, "YouAre My People," a color docu­mentary film that is being re­leased in September for show­ings on television and beforeschool and other organizations.

"You Are My People" pro­vides a close-up of -the NewOrleans archdiocese. The filmfocuses on the activities of5,300 priests, nuns and laymenwho operate the archdiocese'sschools hospitals, communitycenters and other institutions inSouthern Louisiana.

"But while it was made inNew Orleans, this film has valid­ity everywhere, because of itsillumination of Church activityin community service," saidBishop Joseph L. Bernardin,general secretary of. the U. S.Catholic Conference.

The title, "You Are My Peo­ple" comes from the film's musi­cal theme, a folk-style liturgicalsong performed by the Damiens,five New - Orleans seminarianswhose singing underscores thefilm's story.

Along with the shock of the skirt length, Paris cameout with another innovation for its Fall collection, thesmall head look. Because of the trend toward the lookof the thirties, it was inevitable. that hats and hair wouldturn this way also. As de­signer after design~r showedtheir line for Fall, the buy­ers took note of this cappedlook for both coiffures and head­gear, and bought accordinglyfor Fall andWinter '69. Ahint of whatwas to comehas slowly beencreeping i n t 0

the fashion pic­ture and thosefashion people.who anticipated'this trend, havealready stockedthe stores withberets and tur­bans for the returning collegian.

Knit hats are everywhere,typifying the c!ose-to-the-headsilhouette. Young people, ofcourse, will look fresh and up­to-the-minute in the perky slantof a beret or a hair-coveringcloche; but even the older crowdwill find they make the perfecthead-covering for chilly Autumndays. Some have bonnet shapes,others are knitted helmet, butwhatever their form, the lookthat they convey is one of cas­ualness and comfort.

Turbans Are HandyI love the turbaned look, it

seems to cover a multitude ofsins, especially when your hairappointment is a few days away.A few years back, while in NewYork I bought a white turbantype' of head-cover that tied inthe back. I wore it all during mystay in the big city because ofthe frosty, rainy April that weencountered and when I returnedhome to find out that my grand­father had passed away the tur­ban did double duty as I wentthrough the next few hectic daysof mourning, without a chance tohave my hair-done.

Maternally speaking, I'm morethan pleased that our youngergeneration feels that it's thething to have one's hair covered.No more do mothers have todemand that their female off­spring put something on theirhead only t~ have it removedwhen said offspring cruisedaround the corner and out ofsight.

,:Can~ On CnMrchTo Set Example

";In Job Hiring" WASHiNGTON (NC)The prindples of non-dis­crimination in employmenttaught by the Church shouldbe put into practice by Catho­lic institutions in order to serveas models for employers, ac­cording to Msgr. Aloysius J.Welsh, executive secretary of theTask Force on Urban Problems,

. U.S. Catholic Conference, De­. partment of Social DEwelopment:

Msgr. Welsh makes the state­ment in an article, "Employ­ment -- Economic nnd MoralProblem," which appears in thecurrent issue of the Task Forcenewsletter. '

, Equal OpportunityExplaining that 'employment

is "of primary importance" from, the viewpoint of the average in­dividual or family, he said "it be­comes even more a key issuewhen one considers it in thelight of the. major urban prob­lem areas of race and poverty."

Msgr. Welsh notes the moralperspective of racial discrimina­tion, as outiinedby the AmericanBishops in 1958, is in the 'tra­dition of the' social encyclicalsof the last 90 years.

"A just and living wage, hu­mane conditions of work, rightto organize and bargain collec­tively are siblings of the rights toequal opportunity and meaning­ful employment, without regardto race, color or national origin,"he asserted.

Practice to Principle"These principles and rights,"

he continued, "are so clearly apart of Catholic social teachingthat one rightfully expects thattheir counterparts in practiceshould be the usual pattern inthe everyday fabric of the totalCatholic community."

This would mean, he explains,"The Church, as employer, would'adhere to the high ideals ofbrotherhood, and offer a contin­uing example of social and racialjustice at work.

"Thus, apart from the fewcases where a. religious knowl·edge might be needed as a pre­requiste, 18,146 parishes, 777,general hospitals, 297 collegesand universities and the count­less other Catholic institutions'would offer models of non-dis­criminatory employment policies,together with exemplariness inpaying a living wage and other­wise matching practice to prin-ciple." -

'Echo Conviction'It also means, Msgr. Welsh

said, that Catholic congregationsand communities would regular­lY be reminded of the moral ob-

'ligations involved by "the largepercentage of the 59,620 Amer­ican priests entrusted with thecare of souls. The 167,167 Sis~

ters, 11,755 Brothers and thethousands of lay leaders andteachers presumably would echothe same convictions in theirclassrooms and attitudes." ,

VATICAN CITY (NC)-Allof Italy is on vacation duringthe month of August, and thecurrent carnage on the roadshas led the Va,tican City daily,L'Osservatore Romano, to re­mind its readers that safe driv­ing is a moral duty.

The paper commented edito­rially:

"The road accidents whichfollow one another uninterrupt­edly and in which entire fami­lies are destroyed lead us oncemore to meditate on a funda­mental duty: respect for life '-, '-'"

the U. S. is to get a 10.15 acresite a block behind the presentembassy in Moscow.

While this' agreement was ar­rived at on May'16, after yearsof negotia.tion, still more work-agreement on the conditionsof construction-has to be facedup to Sept. 13. The probability ofdisagreement is seen as veryreal.

Phasing ProgramThe Russians could probably

build their new embassy herevery quickly. But the U. S. couldrun into endless delays, due tored tape, in b4i1ding its newembassy in Moscow. As a result,an agreement has been pro­posed, whereby the two embas­sies would be built in phases.

That is, foundations or frame­work would have to be com­pleted at both embassies beforeeither could go ahead with thenext step, so on.

WASHINGTON (NC)-Qbserv­ers here will watch carefully tosee the long-range effects ofPresident Nixon's round-the­world tour, and particularly hisvisit to Rumania.

Strangely enough, if there isany adverse reaction to Presi­dent Nixon's tour, some observ­ers believe it may result fromhis visit to Rumania, where ,hereceived probably the most im­pressive welcome accorded himanywhere. -

New EmbassiesThere are those who believe

this visit to Rumania, and thereception the President received,had to ruffle feelings in Mos­cow. KremHnologists already seean indication of this in the factthat a scheduled Russian visit toBucharest was canceled by Mos­cow, on ·the excuse of "pressingproblems at home," after it hadbeen disclosed that PresidentNixon would be received thereon' his way home from the FarEast.

There is a' possibility thatthese "ruffled feelings" willmanifest themselves when theU. S. and the USSR sit downfor final negotiations, Sept. 13,on the construction of new em­bassies in Washington and Mos­cow.

It has already been announcedthat the USSR has. been prom­ised a 12.6 acre site here tobuild a new embassy, an,d that

Says LiberalizedCollege DrinkingRules Succ'e!)sful

WASHINGTON (NC) ­Letting male students keepalcoholic beverages ip theirdormitory rooms at George­town University during the pastthree years had no adverse ef­fects on study patterns.

Nor did it increase , drinkingin the dormitories or hamperacademic performance, an in­dependent research study shows.

:I'he study was done "by Don­ald R. Buckner, student housingdirector at Northern IllinoisUniversity, DeKalb. It is sum­marized in' the current issue ofthe National Catholic Educa­tional Association Bulletin. Dr.Buckner wrote his Ph.D. disser­tation on the subject at Ameri­can University.

More FreedomGeorgetown announced in Au­

gust, 1966, that it would lift theban on drinking in men's dormi­tories, the first Roman Catholicinstitution to do so. The decisionwas part of an effort "to in­crease student freedom and de­velop responsibility among stu­dents," according to universityofficials.

Prior' to that time, detectionof drinking in residence halls wasan offense which usually re­sulted . in referral to the uni­versity's discipline board.

Beginning' the same, Fall se­mester, . Georgetown also endedmandatory study hours requir­ing freshmen to 'be in theirrooms 'for studY,'from 8:45 P.M.onward, ,l'itonday throl\gh Thurs-day. -

"Georgetown's student per­sonnel staff was extremelyhappy with the liberalized regu­lations," Dr. Buckner said. "Nota single significant disciplinaryincident resulted from drinkingin the residence, halls and stu­dent morale was improved."

No Longer Angry"Veteran staff members re­

ported the new rules made theirjobs much easier-they no longerwere, dealing with angry youngmen," he continued.

Dr, Buckner used H>6 second­semester freshmen and 161 sec­ond semester sophomores assubjects. The students were se­lected at random and invited toparticipate in "a research study"by filling out confidential ques­tionnaries.

The second-semester freshmenwere in the first class to liveunder the liberalized regula­tions, and the second-semestersophomores were in the lastfreshman class to live under therestrictive rules. ,

Dr. Buckner found "n'o signi-,ficant differences" in frequencyor amount of college drinkingduring the first semester in col­lege between freshmen livingunder restrictive or liberalizedrules. But the group under re­strictive rules drank more alco­hol with greater frequency onweekdays, he found, despite lessopportunity to do weekday

Part conservative, part pro­gressive - Father·, Brennan iswilling to. go along wiht such"innovations" as a, guitar. Masscelebrated each Sunday in theschool hall. He knows that wor­shipping God is" in essence,more important than the way,it is done.

"Besides," he said to the par­ish board one nJght'; after agree­ing to a trial run of the guitarMass, "Some day 10 years fromnow, someone probably will beback here to ask if 'we can'thave an organ in the church."

Self-EffacingWhen he first ,was assigned to

Ireland - one of the pioneers"starting the Sacred HeartsSeminary there - Father Bren­nan started using his construc­tion superintendent skills for thechurch.

Until, that is, "a ladder broke"-and so did one of his legs.

Since then he has been cau­tious. He also has been self­effacing.

On Sept. 4, though, he willhave to stand in a spotlight ar­ranged by parishioners for abeloved pastor.

That is, he 'will-if parishion­ers keep ladders out of his way.

REV~ JOHN J; BRENNAN, 55.CC:

"But I would have been justa business priest," he says, and

.after' discussing it with his par­ish priest in New York, he de­cided instead to join theSacred, Hearts order., He went first to St. Mary's in

Kentucky. "That was about theonly one where you could makeup' Latin," he recalls now. "Intwo years, we had enough Latinto enter philosouphy. Four yearsof Latin in one-they used repe­tition, feeling if they tossedeno~gh at us, something wouldstick." "

During those Latin-studyingdays, he admits, "I sometimeswondered if I had made a mis­take.

"The first time I wonderedwas the night before I left forthe seminary. I had sold my carto Dennis Day's sister and leftit with her.' On the bus, on theway home, I began thinking itwas the biggest mistake of mylife."

,Founds ParishTime changed that attitude,

obviously, and following his or­dination 20 years 'ago, FatherBrennan plunged into the workof helping souls that is his life.

His first assignment was ayear in Ireland. Then he wassent to Chatham, where hefounded Holy Redeemer parish.Later he built Our Lady ofGrace there. Then he was trans­ferred to Fairhaven.

Since his arrival at St. Jo­sepJ.1's, many things have beendone, But Father Brennan hasinsisted on staying in the

, background.His family? He'll talk about

them-his brothers, Kevin andAnthony, and his si~ters, Winnieand Sadie, all in Ireland, and hisbrothers, James and Frank andhis sister Josephine in NewYork.

But about himself? ':Oh no,"says Father Brennan, attemptingto switch the topic.

Former Construction. SuperintendentNow '20, Years,"in Priesthood

By Patricia Francis

The Rev. John J. Brennan, SS.Cc., pastor of St. Joseph'S Church, Fairhaven, is willingto do practically anything for his parishioners than stand in the limelight. Now he hasbowed even to that. He really had little choice. This Summer, Father Brennan, a nativeof Castleblayney, Ireland, returned "home" for ,his first visit in ,18 years. While' he wasaway, tne parish board got ..".'----""..,everything ready for a galacelebration banquet Sep~. 14to mark the 25th anniverstryof his profession in the SacredHearts order.

"People have enough to donow," says the more-than­slightly embarrassed priest. "Idon't like to impose on them."

But he allows that "this late,"there is little he can do aboutit. The parishioners agree.

Father Brennan "took ove':'''St. Joseph's in 1964. His firstself-appointed chore was "doingover" the rectory, which hadbeen vacant for some time.',. "This is where I made my'no­vitiate," he recalled the otherday, sitting at a desk in one ofthe two rectory offices. .

The "doing' it over" drew' ,steam "from Father Brennan'sbackground experience. "I did itmyself, with the help of men in'the parish,"he explains. '

Later, he supervised reriova-'tion of the church and finalizedconstruction of the parishschool. The supervisio~ was pro-fessional. " .

Before entering, the seminary,Father Brennan' ~a!!_ a construc­tion superintend~nt in Ncy; York

.-t,he youngest one ever licensedin. th~ city.. lie Ylas24 at thetime. .

"I was working' for McNultyConstruction," "he says. "TheNew York building code re-'quired that every <:onstruction'project had to have a responsi:ble person in charge." '

However, when he and hisemployer arrived at the citybuilding office that issuedlicenses, the young John Bren­nan was turned down. "Tooyoung, he can't 'have. had theexperience necessary'," the cityofficial in charge of the officesaid.

Starts Preparation"I'm on my way to Florida.

I'm putting the boy in charge, of a $1 million building project.'

I think he's qualified and it's mymoney," Mr. McNulty replied.

The next day, the young su­perintendant ,Brennan was onthe job, complete with, officialapproval.

"I came here first when I was15, with an aunt and uncle,"Father says. He studied at Me­chanics Institute and the Dela­hanty Institute before his firstjob with the McNulty firm. "Itwas one of the biggest in NewYork -'he was Dennis Day'suncle."

On the job, John ,Brennan be­came well acquainted with thehordes of "sidewalk superin­tendents" who' abound wherevera building is going up.

"It was amazing, the sugges­tions we used to get fromthem," .he recalls, lookingamused. "Most of them wereimpractical."

Then, in 1941, when he was28, ,John Brennan began a newkind of "construction job,"starting the long preparationsfor the priesth.ood. Appropriate­ly enough, the final push camefrom the St. Patrick's Club forDelayed Vocations.

As word spread, the prospec­tive seminarian was asked toenter the seminary of theArchdiocese of New York-witha position assured him in thechancery offices after his ordi­nation.

NEW DELHI (NC) - India'sminister of state for home affairshas declared that it is "a matterof policy" with his governmentnot to permit foreign mission­aries to work in the North-EastFrontier Agency, a strategic bor- .der area bounded by communistChinese-governed Tibet.

The official, V.C. Shukla, toldthe upper house of the nationalparliament here that there wereno foreign missionaries in NEFAand that they would not be al- .lowed to work there "as a mat­ter of policy."

The Civil Service Commissionsurvey found that "one-half mil­lion jobs, almost 20 per centof the Federal work force in theexecutive branch, are held byminority group Americans," andthat the proportion of non-Whitepersons employed in the FederalGovernment "is almost 50 percent higher than the percentageof non-whites in the overall

· workforce- in the United States-16 per cent as contrasted with10.8 per cent."

It is also showed that, despiterecl'Uiting efforts, few minoritypersons are entering the Gov­ernment at the middle level andin the professional occupations.

Among "challenges" listed arethese: ,

To encourage the "upwardmobility" of Federal employesin the lower grades; to improveon-the-job . training; to providemore imaginative training forlower grade employes, "includ­ing enrolment in non-Govern­ment training faciilties;" tuition­subsidy programs to encourage

· employes to improve their capa­bilities; "additional cooperative

·work-study programs" for spe­cialized training in jobs whereskilled manpower is needed.

Also work with high schoolsand colleges to establish off­campus facilities in Federalbuildings; work with schools andcolleges to make sure courses ofstudy adequately prepare forjobs, particularly in fields wherethere' are manpower shortages;to identify under-utilized em­ployes especially at the lowerlevels, and provide them withwork opportunities commen­surate with their abilities, train­ing and education.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Over­shadowed by President Nixon'sannouncement of a far-reachingprogram for the reform of publicwelfare practices was an execu­tive order issued the same daycalling. for equal employmentopportunity in the Federal gOY­ernment.

Based on a study made by theU. S. Civil Service Commission,the President's order said it hasbeen the long-standing policy ofthe government "to provideequal opportunity in Federalemployment on the basis ofmerit and fitness and withoutdiscrimination because of race,color, religion, sex, or nationalorigin."

He pointed out that "all re­cent Presidents have fully sup­ported this policy," and that"much has been accomplishedthrough positive agency pro­grams."

He added, however, that addi­tional steps are called for.

The President's order puts theresponsibility on the head ofeach government department oragency to assure equal employ­ment opportunity.

Minority Group

It says it must become "an in­tegral part of the day-to-daymanagement" of Federal agen­cies; that qualified. personnelmust be· sought out from allsegments of the population; thatopportunities in Government "atall professional levels must bemade known to men and womenof all races, religions and ethnicbackgrounds"; that it must bemade sure that "each .managerand supervisor in the Govern­ment understands and imple­ments the objectives of equalemployment opportunity for allAmericans," and that the Gov­ernment "must do its part alongwith other employers to providespecial employment and trainingprograms to those who are eco­nomically or educationally dis­advantaged.,.

. PW'~pare for SynodOSLO ,(NC) - The main pur­

pose of the Scandinavian Bish­ops' Conference which met inOslo, was to prepare for theSynod of Bishops meeting inRome in October.

According· to the official re­port made public by BishopJohn W. Gran, the secretarygeneral of the conference, "Bish­ops' conferences all over theworld had been asked to sendin their wishes and proposals tothis synod, the aim of whichwill be to examine the relationbetween the bishops' confer­ences and the Holy See, and tostudy the structure, function,and significance of the bishops'conferences and Rome."

While the report of BishopGran said "the meetings on thewhole showed a deep agreementon all essential matters," itadded that the bishops regrettedth~ fact that they could not dis­cuss the synod more openly, dueto restrictions placed on thecirculation of the· material sentfrom Rome.

the Senate Government Opera­tions Committee where mostmembers favor it. What's hold­ing it up then?

According to Mr. Young, it isbeing blbcked by one man and.one man alone - Senator JohnMcClellan (D. Ark.), chairman ofthe committee, who has thus farrefused to schedule committeeaction on the bill and who, inci­dentally, is said to have blockedaction on a similar House­approved bill last year.

Could Get ActionFrankly, I find it hard to be­

lieve that Senator McClellan issolely responsible for delayingSenate action on the currentHouse bill. It seems to me, inother words, that if the Admin­istration and the leadership ofboth parties really wanted ac­tion on the bill, they would findsome way of bringing SenatorMcClellan into line. .

They have forced other billsout of committee when theywere determined to do so, andthere is every reason to thinkthat they could force this oneout too if they thought of it asbeing a "must" item on theirlegislative agenda. .

Senator McClellan is admit­tedly a powerful figure in theSenate, but I simply don't be­lieve that he would be powerfulenough to defy the majority ofhis colleagues on this or 'anyother bill which they stronglyfavored and were determined toact into law.

Penalize lEmployeesI am not saying that Mr.

Young's reading of the situationin the Congress is totally incor­rect. For all I know, he may betelling it exactly as it is whenhe reports that the Administra­tion and "most members ofCongress" want to do "some­thing" to correct the present sit­uation which, as he himself hasdramatically illustrated with per­tinent facts and figures, penal­izes thousands of Federal em­ployees for the privilege of rep­resenting the United States gov­ernment on official business.

They may well be prepared todo "something," but it wouldappear, to this writer at least,that they are not yet preparedto do enough and, more specifi­cally, have yet to decide thatthis matter is important enoughto warrant a knock-down drag­

.out fight with the senior Senatorfrom Arkansas.

False EconomySenator McClellan is said to

be a strong advocate of economyin government. "We're all forthat," Mr. Young points out, butthen hastens to add, in conclu­sion, "it is false economy andunfair to federal employees totreat them like peons whensending them out on officialtravel for the wealthiest gov­ernment in the world."

I would change only one wordin that statement.-As 'indicatedabove, I think it's worse thanunfair to require governmentemployees to cover even part oftheir expenses when they aretraveling on official business;it's downright unjust-period.

Moreover, for Senator McClel­lan or anyone else to try to ra­tionalize this injustice in thename of government economy isto add insult to injury.

Asks GreaterVoiceIn Choosing Bishop

MINNEAPOLIS (NC) - Theparticipation of "all interestedparties in the diocese" in theselection of bishops must be ini­f.iated, according to Father Ger­ard McCloskey, head of a groupIn Albany, N.Y., called "TheCommitte on Episcopal Succes­sion."

Father McCloskey spoke to asmall group at St. Francis Ca­brini Parish here in a lecturesponsored by the Association ofChristians for Church Renewal.He said preparations for the se­lection of bishops should beworked on continuously andthat those who want to partici­pate in the selection should notwait for a vacancy to occur.

UnjustlEy Msgr. George G. Higgins

DirectoB'p Division of Urban Life, U.S.C.C.

The Federal government, on any given day, is guiltyof doing an injustice to thousands of its own employees.I am using the word "injustice" here in the literal senseof the word. In my judgment, it's the only word in thedictionary that adequatelydescribes the government'spolicy of requiring Federalofficials and professionalgovernment employees to travelon official business - some ofthe m for ex­tended periodsof time - andthen restrictingthem, at themaximum, to· a$16 a day ex­pense allowance.One doesn't haveto be a trainedeconomist, nordoes he have tohave muchexperienceor imagination, to realize tat,in many cases, government em­ployees simply cannot makeends meet on such a paltrytravel allowance and conse­quently are required to make upthe difference out of their ownpocket.

In other words, they are re­quired, if you will, to pay a par­tial subsidy for the honor ofrepresenting their' respectiveagencies on official governmentbusiness.

This' kind of injustice is un­worthy of a country as wealthyas the United States, all themore so, in view of the factthat most government salarieshave ~ot.yet b~en ~~olight intoline with comparable· salaries inprivate employment.

Joseph Young, who covers theCivil Service beat for the Wash­ington Evening Star, reportsthat the Nixon Administrationand most members of Congressrecognize that the government'stravel allowance policy has notkept up with the 'cost of livingand want to do something aboutit.

Maybe so, but one gets theimpression that this matter isfar from being at the top oftheir legislative agenda. Thatgoes for the leadership of bothpolitical parties.

Blames McClellanTo be sure, the House has al­

ready approved a bill raising themaximum travel allowance to$22 a day. Even that figure, ofcourse, wouldn't completely cor­rect the situation, but it wouldobviously be a great improve­ment.

In thecoming year some seminariansfrom your diocese and from ournational board would like tomeet with you and begin discus­sion of these issues.

"StressedProtestant Leader Says Holy Father'

the committeee began discuss­ing a five-year plan to committheir churches morally and fi­nancially against white racism.U. S. Negro delegates claimedthe plan was a series of watereddown proposals and appearedready to fight it.

Dr. Blake was sch'eduled topresent to the 120 committeemembers a plan for a three-manunit with a $150,000 a yearbudget that would prepare and

,carry out· educational projectsagainst racisn:t.

CANTERBURY (NC) - PopePaul VI's visit to the WorldCouncil of Churches' headquar­ters in Geneva in' June helpedthe ecumenical movement, rath­er than hindered it as some

'churchmen have said, WCC gen­'eral secre~ary Eugene CarsonBlake said here in Eqgland., Speaking at the opening"busi­ness session of a 10-day meetingof the WCC's central 'committee,Dr. Blake, a U. S. Presbyterian,­said Pope Paul had put the mat­ter of Catholic membership inthe wce "officially on theagenda for the first time."

Iii his report to the centralcommittee as general secretary,Dr. Blake singled out a remarkof the Pope that has been criti­cized by some Protestants andCatholics. Pope Paul, by saying"We are Peter," had referred tothe view that he is the linealsuccessor to the Apostle Peteras the vi~ar of Christ. ' \

Dr. Blake said: "I am veryglad Pope Paul made, his posi­tion clear and did not feel thenecessity to disguise it withdiplomatic glosses. In this heshowed that he understood bet­ter than some others that theecumenical movement requireshonesty and truth from all if itis not to degenerate into amovement of mere 'politenessan'd tolerance."

After referring 'in Ithe sameannual report to rapidly devel­oping cooper,ation between thechurches, Dr. Blake said:

White RacismAll this, however, must be

seen in relationship to manyareas of the world, notably inNorthern Ireland, where mem­bers 'of ,our churches revealthemselves as not having pro- 'gresssed in their ecumenicalthinking' from the dark' centu­ries. The danger of polarizationof attitudes is obvious."

'Dr. Blake spoke as fightingprompted by religious animos­ity raged uncontrollably in Lon-'donderry and was beginning toflare up in other sectio,ns ofNorthern Ireland.

Now the question of, culturaldiversity and the preservation ofthe specific quality 'and charac­ter of different groups is obvi-ously a complex and vital issue.People today are becoming moreand more aware of the dangerin a modern technological soci­ety of everybody being not somuch equal as horrifyingly thesame. ",

The statement, "JUack is beau­tiful" can mean) a deep sense ofa society being enriched by itsdifferent sources of vitality andinsight. To be uniform, indis­tinguishable, on the same com­muting treadmill, moulded bythe same forces of advertising,listening to t~e same themes andslogans, the faceless masses ofa homogenized p,seudo-culture~"

these risks I are more deeply feltby modern man'than by his opti-mistic predecessors. '

'The young hav~ seeIi the sub­urban utopia. They reject it. Sowhen the apologists of "separatedevelopment" .speak of the needfor diversity and self expression,they strike some sort of chord.

No DevelopmentBut the difficulty is, as the

South African churches under­line, that the separate develop­ment at issue in South Africamay be separate but it is hardto say that it is' development.The land available for, sep~rate,

"homelands" or Bantustansmakes up only 13 per cent of the'country; yet it must 1;>e the basefor two-thirds of the people. Ifit is to do so with any hope of 'providing a living, it 'Will, ha:veto be heavily indus·trialized.

The South African govern­ment does speak of putting moreindustry into "border areas" towhich African workers', 'can com­mute fr'om their reserves: Thereis even Ii" chance of some"white" investment in order tocreate jobs in the homelands.

The problem is scale. On asober estimate, the new jobsneeded to absorb a rising Afri­can labor force could be of theorder of 82,000 a year. To beginto 'reduce the number of Afri­cans still working in white citiesmight require another 80,000.Some authorities argue thatmany African peasants now onthe land would have to leave itin order to check over-use and, ,erosion.

A minimum of' 160,000 to200,000 new' jobs a year couldbe necessary to put real devel­opment into the separate areas.Last year, the new jobsamounted to 6,000. The averagein recent years has been 8,000.In short, separation is a fact.Development is not., On this

, trend, it is likely that by 1980very nearly 80 per cent of thelaborers in the white cities willbe black., What is t.he result? The Afri­can continues to be totally, ab­sorbed in white society butwithout equality, opportunity or 'any social and political rights.Not "separate and equal" butintegrated and unequal, he callsdown upon his society the an-,cient biblic::l1 cUrse of all who

,"grind down the faces of thepoor" and "deprive the laborerof his hire." This, fundamen-'tally, is what the South AfricanChurches' 'message is, all about

BlackRecall

By Barb8ra WardWhat the Christian Churches in South Africa have ex­

pressed in their "message", published last year is . th~ircertainty that Apartheid or separate develo~ment Will ~n­

crease the hostility and injustice between different raCialgroups. The message of theGospel is, on the contrary,that fears, hostilities,.explor­ation and division can be'overcome by man's membershipin the one human community ofwhich Christ isthe head. "Nei- ,ther male norfemale, neitherJew nor Gen­tile, n e i the rbond nor free-';these ~ords ofSt. Paul coverall the differents e r v i t u des'of our unhappyand d i v ide dworld - thesubmission and exp oltation ofwomen, the imperialism anddomination Qi races and nations,the gulfs and injustices betweenrich and poor.

All are to be overcome in thegrace of God's fathel'hood. Inthe new light of our oneness inChrist, men are literally broth­ers. If we deny them, we denyHim. As we do to the least ofthese little ones, so we do untoHim.

But the governing groups inSouth Africa, the Afrikanerswho dominate the governmentand the white citizens of Brit­ish' stock who do not basicallydisagree with them on the needfor "separate development,"would argue that all this talkby the Christian Churches ofAp.artheid as unChristian and ofseparation as ,injustice and ex~ploitation is simply biased andmisleading.

On the ~ontrary. they declare,only by receiving full local con­trol in separate communitieswill the Bantu learn to 'standon his own feet, develop his' ownculture and meet white societyon the basis of true equalityand self respect.

Complete SeparaUonMany white citizens in South

Africa repeat with satisfactionthe claims of Black Nationalistsin the United States that onlycomplete separation will set theblack man free. "This is exactlywhat we say," they claim. "Onlyby freeing the blacks from sub­servience in white society canthey be fully themselves. Ap~r­

theid does this. It is thus moretruly moral 'than assimiliation."

Study MeetingBOULDER (NC) - Father

Charles Forsyth, O.S.B., NationalNew~an Apostolate chairman,said the Lutheran-Catholic studyconference here in Colorado is an"experimental first" for the New­man members and Lutheransfrom three groups-the LutheranChurch-Missouri group, theAmerican Lutheran Church andthe Lutheran Church in America.

Father Forsyth said the goal ormaterial studied at the confer­ence, on the University of Colo-

. rado Boulder campus, would notbe "directly theological." "Thesubject-matter will not deal withour differences," he said.

Two years ago, the Ashram, anational conference of Lutherans,met in Boulder and voted appro­val of an integrated meetingwith the Newman group, FatherForsyth said. In years past, eachgroup has had a national meet­ing. After inviting the Newmangroup, plans for this year's meet­ing evolved.

Main thrust of the week-longprogram was a series of discus­sions on church power, blackpower, university power and po­litieal power. The group also dis­cussed "Worship, common andnon·sacramental, and common,sacramental and separate," with

. their chaplains.Msgr. Alexander Sigur, former

National Newman Apostolatechaplain, and now a pastor inLafayette, La., and Frank Mor­riss, a contributing editor ofTwin Circle, Catholic weeklypublication, presented Catholicviews concerning worship.

During the course of the week,workshops were conducted on re­ligious drama, dance and wor­ship, and the undergroundchurch movement.

Church Rit~$ST. LOUIS (NC) - More

than 800 persons, includingsix priests, conducted anopen-air service on St. LouisUniversity campus to protest thediscontinuing of "modern" litur­gical services: at St. FrancisXavier (College) Church here.

Father Louis J. Hanlon, S.J.,pastor, had terminated the spe­cial rites in the lower part of thechurch because they were tend­ing "to create a parish within aparish."

The open-air protest servicewas led by Father Patrick Mc­Anany, S.J., one of the group ofpriests and students who hadworked regularly with the lowerchurch services. He had saidearlier that the discontinuanceof the services came as a com­plete surprise.

The Sunday service on thecampus went through most ofthe routine of the Mass, butthere was no celebration of theEucharist. This is because theSt. Louis chancery would notallow a full-fledged Mass. St.Louis University did give per­mission for use of the campus.

Father Hanlon said he foundthat the extra services in thelower church "have createdmanagerial, theological, liturgi­cal, and financial tensions andconflicts which are not for thewell-being of the parish as atotal parish."

He also noted that the parishis one which "has many respon­sibilities to its numerous poorand destitutt"! families, which hasa sizeable debt, a falling income,and a growing parochial schoolwhich is a big drain on parishfunds."

Father McAnany said "every­one was shocked and stunned"over Father Hanlon's action. Healso said that the people hadbeen given no reason for theelimination of the services.

Reasonable MeasureHe said that despite weekly

meetings, which included FatherHanlon, to discuss problemswith the lower church services,he was not aware that FatherHanlon had expresssed dissatis­faction.

Father McAnany noted thatthe lower church services hadgrown from one liturgy forabout 500 persons two years agoto four liturgies for about 2,000to 3,000 persons "and the de­mand continued to increase."

"I fear if we don't have lowerchurch liturgies, many simplywill not go to any church,"Father McAnany declared, add­ing that he believes parishionersshould have their choice be­tween, a conservative (as thoseheld in the upper church) ormodern service. .

"It is not a matter of reprisalsor ill will toward anyone,"Father Hanlon said of termina­tion of the servfces, "but whatwe consider a reasonable mea­sure for needed unity of man­agement, financial security, andindependent survival as a parishof the archdiocese."

NEW ORLEANS (NC)The educational systemmust be designed in such away that individual talentsare used to the maximum, andhuman satisfaction and dignitypreserved, according to FatherFrancis M. Landwermeyer, S.J.,a· doctoral candidate in educa­tion at the University of Chi­cago.

Father Landwermeyer spoke toa group -of 53 Jesuit educatorsat a workshop on~secondary ed­ucation at Loyola Universityhere. His topic was the total at­mosphere of a Jesuit high school.

"The present organizationalstructure of Jesuit high schoolsinhibits the 'personality growthof students and discourages,'rather than facilitates, the in­quiry process," Father L~ndwer-

meyer said. _"However" 1 believe alterna­

tives are available. Progress canand will be made."

difficult to convince a studentthat he· is a unique individualwith a unique assortment of tal.ents when his entire school lifeis organized so that his learningprogress is measured by a uni­form measuring device andwhen all significant decisionsconcerning his education -aremade by others.

A serious question which wemust face 'is whether or not asense of community of teachersand students is possible withinour present structure. The fac­ulty must be not only transmit­ters of knowledge discovered byothers, but creative scholarsparticipating in the developmentof human understanding.

WASHINGTON (NC) - Arch­bishop Philip M. Hannan of NewOrleans led a delegation of Lou­isianans to Washington in. an ef­fort to seek immediate and long

. range solutions to welfareproblems in their state.

Louisiana welfare funds havesuddenly become inadequate be­cause of a large increase of per­sons on the 'state welfare roll.As a result, the state welfaredirector ordered cuts in mone­tary assistance sent to each re­cipient.

Affected are families in theaid to dependent children cate­gory. Archbishop Hannan saidhis group was appealing foremergency funds for these peo­ple.

"I think it will bring someresults," he said about the dayof talks with government offi-cials. '

. The Louisiana state legisla­ture, he explained, had made thesame appropriation this year aslast, but before the influx offamilies eligible for the aid.

Explains Influx

This influx was caused byseveral factors, Archbishop Han­nan said. These included the factthat Louisiana's neighboringstates of Mississippi and Arkan­sas do not pay as large welfaregrants as does Louisiana, hesaid. This has encouraged manyfamilies from the two states,especially Mississippi, to moveinto Louisiana, he pointed out.

Although the delegation ledby Archbishop Hannan was con­cerned about state-wide povertyin Louisiana, it put "special em­phasis on poverty in New Or­leans because a great deal of thestate's poverty is located there,"the prelate said.

GRAND RAPIDS (NC)-Aqui­nas College has taken a giantstep toward breaking down bar­riers to communication and un­derstanding between students,faculty members and adminis­trators in the appointment ofDr. Rodger A. Remington to thepost of Campus Ombudsmen.

Dr. Norbert J. Hruby, presi­dent of Aquinas, an independentcoeducational college of 1,250students, stated that fewer than25 universities in the U. S. haveombudsmen, and Aquinas isprobably the only college of itssize to inaugurate such a post.

Dr. Hruby said the purpose ofan ombudsman is to assist memobers of the college community­students, faculty and adminis­trators - in obtaining informalsettlement of the problems.

The key word, according toDr, Hruby, who has been presi­dent of Aquinas since February,1969, is informal. The ombuds-

Urges ContinuationOf Aid to Addicts

MIAMI (NC)-"AII you canget is an aspirin-that's all Ican give you!"

This is the answer which Dr.Ben Sheppard, director of Mi­ami's Catholic Welfare Bureau,is giving to the hundreds of drugaddicts he was formerly helpingto "kick" the habit in 'his clinic,a volunteer operation whichArchbishop Coleman F. Carrollhas been forced to close.

In announcing closure of theclinic, the archbishop said it wasclear that recently released fed­eral guidelines had made thecost of its operation prohibitive.The guidelines call for well-staff­ed and in-patient facilities, ,atwo·to-three week hospitalizationof addicts, and a completescreening of patients including·physical and psychiatric exam­inations.

Archbishop Carroll said thatalthough the clinic has closed"the obligation in conscience tocontinue to be concerned and tocare for the addicts still prevails.The need continues and will untilrelief is forthcoming.

Scholarship PlansAnother source of income, in

addition to student loans, fed­erally·funded work study plansand research grants, could be anextension of the type of schol­arship plans available now in23 states. These plans offer statescholarship money for tuitionto any college the student wants·to attend in the state.

Such a plan in Illinois addsabout $2 million of state moneyto Loyola University, Chicago,he explained.

Even with limited funds, therole of helping the disadvant­aged minority and white stu­dents get an education is pecu·liarly appropriate for the Jesuitinstitution, he continued.

"It is imperative for us to lookat the church-related institutionswhich want to educate the wholeman, and 'want to treat all menas equals," he urged.

These institutions, if possible,should be out in the forefrontof assisting the disadvantagedstudent, he added.

Future of Jesuit HigherDepends on Change

DENVER (NC)-A hard lookat adaptability, finance and pri­orities is in order for all JesuitColleges and universities if theywish to survive, according toFather Paul C. Reinert, S.J.,speaking on "The Future ofJesuit Higher Education" dur­ing a nine-day conference atRegis College here for repre­sentatives of 28 Jesuit collegesand universities.

The veteran leader of theJesuit Education Association,who has been president of St.Louis, University for 20. years,was one of several speakers whoaddressed the conference, "Com­mitment in a World of Change,"designed to include discussion ofvarious facets of higher educa­tion. About 100 Jesuit educatorswere in attendance.

Necessary for SurvivalFather Reinert said Jesuit

higher education "has a ratherdim, unpromising future in lightof the thriving, all inclusivehighly competitive growth ofpublic institutions everywhere."He listed seven imperatives ne­cessary for survival of Jesuithigher education.

"We have a future ifwe are determined to opento a d min i s t rat i v e changeand adaptations, est a'b lis hand carry out an academicpriority system, exploit everysource of financial support, de­velop and strengthen the uniquecharacteristic of the Jesuit edu­cation, establish a vital opostolicrelationship with the Societyand the individual Jesuit, main­tain a viable relationship withthe organized church, and culti­vate a relationship of service andinvolvement with the immediatecommunity and the general pub­lic."

Finances, the limiting factorto the most optimistic plans ofthe faculty and the most creativedemands of students, have to belooked at realistically, he said.

Tuition cannot be raised tothe point where the institutionattracts only the wealthy, hewarned. .

Limited Source .As it is now, Father Reinert

feels the private religious sc~ool

draws from students of one'so­cio-economic group, which hecalls the "middle class smug'satisfied establishment kids."

These students are not in­clined to promote conflict orunrest, which, on other cam­puses, comes primarily frommembers of the lower socio­economic group who have facedgreater frustrations, he said.

The sit-in began in July in thereception room of headquartersin suburban Maple Heights when.the group's requests for a meet­ing with H.A. Ledford, local vice­president for the supermarketchain, were ignored.

It ended because the diocesanCommission on Catholic Com­munity Action, the ClevelandGrape Boycott Committee andthe local region of AFL-CIO hadbeen attempting to set up ne­gotiations with officials and oneof the conditions for such ne­gotiations was the removal of thesit-ins from the lobby.

The California proposal issimilar to one included in thenational tax reform measuredrawn up by the House Waysand Means Corrtmittee in Wash­ington.

The California measure doesnot affect the' exemption of in­come derived from church­related activities, including theoperation of cemeteries.

The bill, which would apply toincome received starting nextJan. I, would require the filingof annual informational returnby churches and teligious organ­izations on their business activi­ties.

must sooner or later reach hislevel of life-incompetence. Andhe refers to the indubitable factthat "various animal species,after eons of steady promotion,have reached the levels of in­competence and have becomestatic, or have achieved super­incompetence and have becomeextinct."

Negative ThinkingHe therefore proposes that we

lose no time in getting' down tointensive negative thinking. Thiscan prevent man's escalatinghimself to a level of life-incom­petence, and so fend. off thedestruction of the world.

Moreover, a· general attain­ment of incompetence could beavoided if all incompetent edu­cators went around affirmingthe value of an education, if allincompetent painters promotedthe appreciation of art, etc.

Dr. Peter, thanks to his popu­larizer, has certainly given usplenty to think about. Some ofit is pretty grim, but facts mustbe sensibly faced. And there isas much consolation to bedrawn from his recommenda­tions as there is disillusionment.

Feels InsecureHow can one tell whether he

has reached the level of one'sincompetence? Several infallibleindices are given. One is phono­philia: that is, having severaltelephones on one's desk, as wellas a dizzying elaborate signal­ling system and a profusion ofrecording devices, these neverto be in use singly.

Another is papyrophobia: vul­garly known as "keeping a cleandesk" because the sight ofpapers would remind one ofwork which one is incapable ofdoing.

There is also papyromania:cluttering one's desk, tables,shelves with papers, pamphlets,and other printed materials atwhich one never glances.

The person who has achievedhis final plateau of placement I

feels insecure. He masks this bythrowing a written' report backto the subordinate submitting itand saying, "I've nQ time towade through all that garbage.Tell it to me in your own words-and briefly."

If, however, he is confrontedwith a verbal report, h~ yells, "Ican't even begin to think aboutit until you put it in writing."

Uses BnltialsTo choke off a discussion

which bewilders him, he willbegin telling jokes. Or he willbrightly suggest that what theorganization really needs is anew building. He will probablybe given to staring off in space,which the uninitiate will inno­cently interpret as a sign of deepthinking.

Also, he will tend to use ini­tials, as in "C.F.M. is in L.A.giving the 0.0. to I.B.M.'s C.A.system." He will probably bevery good at General PurposeConversation and the GeneralPurpose Speech, the former tobe used in any company, thelatter on any occasion.

In order to exist reasonablyhappily and reasonably well onone's level of incompetence, Dr.Peter, filtered through Mr. Hull,recommends, for example, per­petual preparation for workwhich will never be done.

Thus, one will always expressdissatisfaction with the evidencefor taking or avoiding somecourse, and demand more andyet more. This insures that theneed will disappear and nothinghas to be done.

Deep ThinkerForming committees is another

perpetual preparation device, andso is the ignoring of mountainsin favor of exhaustively study­ing molehills. Extremely impor­tant is carefully cultivatingimage while skillfUlly avoidingperformance.

Dr. Peter is a deep and far­seeing thinker, and so he is con­cerned not merely with whatgoes on (or off) in individual or­ganizations, but also with whatis happening to the whole hu­man race.

He believes tha,t, because ofthe universality and inexoraqil­ity of the Peter Principle, man

Gives GistFindings

By Rt. Rev. Msgr. John S. Kennedy

"Everywhere I see incompetence rampant, incompe­tence triumphant . . . . I have accepted the univ~rsality

of incompetence." So writes Raymond Hull in the intro­duction to The Peter Principle (Morrow, 425 Park Ave.,S., New York, N.Y. 10016.$4.95). In proof of this dis­maying assertion, he citesseveral examples, each ofwhich we all could parallel fromour own experience. Incompe­tence is, if notuniversal, a IIto 0 common.H ow explainthat? Mr. Hullsays that theanswer can befound in the re­search of a cer­tain Dr. Lau­rence J. Peter,who is too busy,or perhaps toocompetent,to put his findings in a formand in terms comprehensible tothe generality.

And so Mr. HUll has generous­ly undertaken to give us thegist of them in a brief treatise,illustrated by drawings from,apparently, nineteenth centuryissues of Punch.

The Peter Principle, simplyput, is this: that in every organ­ization every employee tends torise to his level of incompetence."Everyone in business, industry,trade-unionism, politics, govern­ment, the armed forces, religion,and education" is controlled bythe Peter Principle, accordin'gto the discomfortable doctor.

~sel!clIo-!P'romotion

This does not mean that everypromotion raises' 'one' to one'slevel of incompetence. No, theunusual thing is for a person togo from one level of incompe­tence to another. But his finalpromotion is invariably from alevel of competence to one ofincompetence.

"The cream rises until itsours." Meanwhile, the organi­zation's work is done by peoplewho have not yet reached theirlevel of incompetence.

There are those who will in­dignantly reply that incompe­tence does not prevent promo­tion. They will point to so-and­so, who, for all his woeful per­formance was kicked upstairs.

As a scientist, Dr. Peter right­ly prefers to speak of this as"percussive sublimation," and hedeclares that it is always onlya pseudo-promotion, a trick topreserve the organization's rep­utation for efficiency.

Ordinary incompetence, Dr.Peter has discovered, will neverlead to dismissal. That fate isreserved for both super-incom­petence and super-competence.

Super·ConfidenceAn example of super-incompe­

tence would not be atrociousperformance but dreadful inade­quacy in keeping or filing neatrecords of atrocious perform­ance. Far worse, however, issuper-incompetence, for it dis­turbs the pace and the patternof the organization, which is adeadly thing and not to be tol­erated.

But surely, one has heard ofall manner of marvelous tech­niques which, in practice, doguarantee competence through­out an organization. Is there notthe blessing of placement tests?Their only effect, according toDr. Peter, is "that tested peoplereach their levels of incompe­tence in fewer steps and in ashorter time."

Propose GiwingChi~d C~oice

Of Educ:ationBUFFALO (NC)--A Buf­

falo legislator has proposeda method by which state aidcould be given to childrenattending nonpublic schoolswithout changing the state con­stitution.

The proposal by AssemblymanAlbert J. Hausback involves a"voucher system," Under theplan, a child would be able tohave an "education of hischoice" and receive state aid forit, Hausbeck said. He added thatthe plan/is meant to bfmefit bothpublic and nonpublic schoolyoungsters.

The proposal calls for parentsto register their school agechildren with the state and re­ceive a "voucher" to' be pre­sented to the principal of, the

. public or nonpublic school whichthey wish to attend.

PaymentOnce the child is enrolled in

school, Hausbeck explained, thevoucher would be returned tothe state for payment ..

Hausbeck said the vOJ,lcherplan had been 'developing in hismind for the past several yearsafter a similar proposal "gotnowhere" in the California legis­lature-:-

He said he deCided to proposethe idea to the administrationof Gov. Nelson Rockefeller since"it is evident. that somethingmust be done to ease the over­crow<;ling in the public: schools"as well as the financial prob­lems of many nonpublic schools.

ConstitutionUnder the New York State
