When the young Marx wrote tFFat the criticism of religion is the premise of all criticism, his perspective wa« necessarily differen' from what our own must be. In his time, religion appeared in the form of powerful political organizations whicn offered abstract, illusory hopes and which reconciled men to living their lives as shadows of their hopes and their nai sensuous and spiritual potentials. Men make religion as part of their progress toward more internalized and satisfying modes of social regulation. Religion has always functioned as an emotional technology, mediating between instinct, law, and reason. The dialectical way of perceiving comprehends that the structures created by the processes of human evolution tend to impede further

evolution. Religious forms must be destroyed to realize their essential aspirations as practice on earth. The central aspiration of religion is toward open intercourse within the self, between the self and others, between the self and nature. To realize ecological relations, political groups will have to become more religious in their practice toward each other. Changing de-personalized emotional structures based on fearful fantasies of rejection, murderous rage and repression of feeling, is part of the task of making a political revolution that changes structures based on greed, exploitation, the subordination of women, and the reduction of all human beings to objects. Ecology is the true religious myth, the unity of life, the participation of each in all, the interdependence of all life. Man incarnates the universe; his body is the body of the world; his mind is the most highly evolved manifestation of the adaptive neurologically organized element in the interplay between organism and environment. But this mind develops in a helpless infant body. individual. There is nothing like a genetic code. What stability and unity an ecosystem has is the result of feedback interactions among its living elements and the effectiveness of their adaptations to a more or less Pondering St. Francis or even appointing him patron saint of the ecology predictable set of environmental conditions.

Put another way, the standing crop is large compared to annual productivity. Ecological disasters and their remedies have been foreseen by scientists like Rene Dubos. He recognizes that as population grows and natural resources become Political ecology is the science of the biosocial through adaptation to subhuman contexts and functions. scarce, careful husbandry rather than exploitation of determination of the continuous planned production and Protection of human reality requires recognition that resources will become the key to survival.

This imperative necessity, however, is not yet directed by real human needs. future.

Cork and wedge insteps, sil- ver heels, crushed patent leath- er and plenty of sandals are the featured looks in shoe fashion this spring. The "bygone days" have in- fluenced the shoe scene as well as coats and dresses, and many styles popular now are reminis- cent of the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50' s - with some streamlining here and there. Sandals are back in a very big way with the focus on the wedge. Cork is being used in many shoe collections as an effective sub- stitute for the leather sole. It is also a lightweight material which emphasizes the "chunky" look in shoes. The sandal styles for this year will feature lots of straps - wide and narrow - and the platform sole in a variety of heights. Just for fun and sportswear, the track shoe has become very popular and will be shown in suedes, leathers and other ma- terials as well as in a wide va- riety of colors. Clogs also re- main as an asset to your shoe wardrobe, and have begun to ap- pear in many colors, fabrics and styles for spring. These shoes look great with pants - especial- ly dungarees - and are comfort- able and versatile additions to a shoe wardrobe. Dress shoes will emphasize a variety of skins - alligator and lizard, particularly - in their synthetic counterparts in an as- sortment of bright colors and new styles. The new silver heel - the metal look - combined with crushed patent leather will also be very popular in shoe dress- wear this spring. Silver heels will also serve to accentuate the clean, modern lines of Scandi- navian silver jewelry which will soon be an important fashion ac- cessory. For sportswear or dresswear, shoes can be a vital, exciting part of your fashion wardrobe, and will serve as an important accent to any ensemble. Select your shoes for comfort, style and durability and they will wear well.
