23 During a Sunday Mass in late September, Assump­ The Knlrht Beacon Is pubhshed elrht times a year by students ot tionites heard their Davenport pastors read a letter Assumption h1fh school . The yearly subscription rate 1s $1 so of the bishop requesting that each parish begin a novena to pray for the bishop at the Ecumenical Coun­ cil. On this occasion the bishop spoke to his flock through his pastors. This is the student's main contact with the bishop. Last winter Joe Nahra '63 visited Bishop Ralph L .. Hayes with two '62 graduates - Pat Nemmers and Don Miller - who interviewed the bishop. Joe was Knight Beacon photographer. Summarizing this ex­ perience, Joe states, "I was astounded at the bishop's frank and jolly spirit and the touch of fatherly af­ fection as he displayed the Christmas decorations in his living room. Aside from this personal contact, the only opportunty I have to hear the wishes of my bishop is either through The Catholic Messenger or my pastor who acts as the guardian of his people and his representative."

Ask an average student about the bishop and he replies that the bishop is the head of a large organ­ ization, who works in a large office each day, or lives in a towering house with large rooms. This has been the effect of secularism in the world. However, stu­ dents in the apostolate are usually aware of the re­ lationship of the bishop and pastor to them. Bruce Borne '63 says, "I don't have any direct re­ lationship with the bishop, that is knowing him per­ •Sonally, but he is the head of the diocese. He is like a middle man - the link between the Holy See and the laity - who must delegate his authority to the pastors. The pastors are our guiding light." Senior Don Chenoweth adds, "The bishop co-or­ Mike-rophone dinates all the priests in the diocese to achieve a goal.

However, an objective look at the tudent council It's not that group activities aren't good; what we're representative of the class of '63 also reveals this aiming at is a rebirth of creative thinking - students fact: although the boys elected more candidates during striking out on their own, doing something different the four years, they tended to stabilize after freshman merely for the sake of doing it.

Maybe he is capable of writing a hit song; he'll systems outweigh the advantages?" never know until he tries. AM

Secondly, since this creative thinxing is an ex­ pression of self, it will help the student realize just who he is and what he associates himself with. More­ over, the student will look upon himself with more distinction than a coded number on an IBM card. Putting this into practice, Knight Beacon staff mem­ bers have had an opportunity to try their creative powers on this issue. By special arrangement with Gordon Printing Co., the staff have pulled "production proofs" for this issue. Heretofore this work has been done by professionals. This issue hould indicate whether the idea was a good one or not.

Finally, and probably most important, the experi­ ence of thinking for himself, rather than having some­ one do his thinking for him, will instill in the stu­ dent the courage to do the right thing even when "everybody else" is headed in the wrong direction. So, students, give it a little thought the next time you tie those tennis shoes.

Mr. Sunderbruch said the purpose of the game was to rai ·e money which will be donated, 200 in this ca e, to the school. Although the crowd was quite par­ tial toward the Bank team, the Magi­ cians led by dribbling expert Marques Haynes, controlled the game and won handily 80-65. However, all was not lost for the home folks; Assumption basketball coach Bill McAfoos led all scorers with 27 ooints, most of which were collected from far beyond the circle. As can be expected, from this type of game, a serious attitude did not prevail. Funnyman Sam 'Boom• Wheeler held the crowd in stiches with his jocose antics . Marques Haynes mys­ tified the crowd with his ball handling wizardry.

Mike chebler '64 waits patiently for the Bi. hop's answer to his question concerning the role of the laity, as it may be effected by the Ecumenical Council. Festival,Tithing Highlight Parish Life "Once students get to Assumption they lose contact with the parish," com. mented Father Louis A. Rohret, pas­ tor of St. Joseph's Church. "This breaks down the parish loyalty and students get a feeling of not belonging to the parish. They couldn't be more wrong. They belong very much to the parish," he continued. St. Josephs is unique in the fact that the parish has no boundaries. People from all over Scott County call it their parish. This has been a handicap to them in reaching their goal for tithing . When asked what he thought of tith­ ing he remarked, "It's the best that has happened to this Catholic community in year." Elaborating he said that the best feature of GOd's Plan was the fact that all of the parishes did it together and worked together on it. There is a tend­ ency to criticize a parish for doing some­ thing on their own. "It has been a succ here.

CouncilBreeds Sellishness? These are all remembrances of past graduates. How will Assumption remember the class of '63? DH After attending the Episcopal Press Conference and reading the corresponding articles on page 8.:?, were you able to pick out any of the main or underlying issues that seemed to present themselves? Some of the obvious ones were detected by the manner in which Bishop Hayes returned to points he had em­ phasized earlier in his remarks. First, when asked about decentralization of Church power, he stated that a greater number of decisions would be left up to the individual bishops since they themselves knew the diocesan situations better than some official in the Vatican. An example of this action would be in the affairs of the Diocesan Court. Later on, he reinforced this point by saying that each bishop would probably decide whether or not the ver­ nacular will be used in his respective diocese. Second, some of the questions put to Bishop Hayes contained phrases like "affect us in the diocese" and "affect us as tudents at Assumption High." This shows a omewhat thoughtle s or perhaps even self-centered conception of the Ecumenical Council. Ecumenical take in the whole Catholic world; it doesn't limit the Council to As umption, the Diocese of Davenport or the United States. The Bishop made it clear that OPEN we will be affected because we are members of the Catholic Church, not as members of a diocese or school. ON Therefore, when the Council resumes its sessions, we shouldn't be expecting it to single us out and put JUNE 2 a list of instructions and rules in our hands . Because the Council will affect the Church as a whole, students should instead try to discover and fulfill their role in the Catholic Church; this will answer their ques­ tions on how the Council will concern them since they will be more closely united to their Church , and what affects the Church will then be automatically mirrored in them.

Because of the high quality of past issues, any minor mistake in an issue is vulnerable to vehement and quick criticism by students and faculty alike. It is quite evident that the Knight Beacon is always open to criticism, but the staff needs some encouragement to continue high quality presentations. A losing Knight basketball team gains confidence from a pep rally. The KB trial was this staff's pep rally, but the Knight Beacon had an empty cheering section.

" These-the goals of the Little Six Conference, as set forth in its constitution - repudiate the commonly held opinion that the conference is purely an athletic organization. Since Assumption is the youngest member, it must provide an impetus in fulfilling these ideals. This is being accomplished at present by sponsoring the Little Six Advisory Board Meeting, May 6 (see news story page 114). However, this is only a start. This meeting typifies the special character of the high schools in the Little Six to stress excellence in fields other than athletic. It adds the academic em­ phasis to its activities more than other conferences. This particular conference illustrates the Athenian Greeks' dream of the development of minds as well as body. Assumption is proud to be a full fledged member. The conference has had some unofficial influence on our activities; however, the Little Six is now sug­ gesting activities in areas in which we might be caught "flat-footed," such as, drama, speech and de­ bate meets - things we have heretofore disregarded. The Knights have made a start in sports; they are obviously capable in this area. But, they should not fall down in the equally important scholastic compe­ .t--~ tition.
