•; ' 1 . •- -N . , •* -^ , ON CATHOLIC EDUCATION: Recently, we received in our mail an unassuming and \%- largely unpublicized document from the NFCCS. Entitled "The Campus Eeports," Vol. 101 No. 23 the pamphlet is a comprehensive study of the problems of Catholic higher education. MAY 6, 1960 It takes the Catholic university apart and gives careful consideration to the purpose of the Catholic university, its cun-iculum, its students, and its future. Making no pre­ I tense of answering the problems concerned, the NFCCS is primaiily interested in detei-mining the exact nature of the difficulties it points up. One of the basic problems outlined is an anti-intellectualism which seems to be characteristic of Catholics in Founded 1867 general. This feeling naturally arrives at the university and we find students pri­ marily interested in grades, job preparation, or finding a marriage partner. But all editor-in-chief the indictment does not fall on the students, alone. It is suggested that sometimes RONAID BIU8AUGH there is a confusion among the leaders of the schools as to what relationship exists between the tei-m "Catholic" and the term "college." It often "seems to be thought -W associate editors that the purpose of a Catholic univei-sity is to save souls and that of secular universi­ E. (TED) THOMPSON ties is to make leaders." CHARLES TAUSCHE Religious instruction and administration policies are also inspected by the NFCCS sui-vey. Again quoting the pamphlet, "Generally, the outstanding paradox in Catholic news editor and staff higher education is the weakness of the religion curriculum." Religion coui-ses often ROY RUBELI tend to be repetitious and "lacking in intellectual challenge." Moreover, the students Wade Clarke themselves often feel religion courses will be "snaps" and they fail to approach them Arthur Graham with the proper attitude. In regard to student-faculty-administration policies, the Thomas Weiss study reports that this is certainly one of the worst pi-oblem areas. It is felt that the administration often acts without proper explanation and that the students interpret features editor and staff - this as authoritarianism. Quoting the survey, "Exti'eme authoritarianism can be a CHARLES RIECK very dangerous thing psychologically and from the viewpoint of a successful educa­ Francis Smith tional experience." Thomas Sullivan Thei'e are other valuable points made in the report. Written under the guidance • William Sweeney of NFCCS Executive Vice-President Bill Scheckler, the study presents a strong case William Veeder for continued Notre Dame participation in the national federation. The report is very informative and could yield concrete benefits. Our congratulations to Bill Scheckler sports editor and staff and the NFCCS on a fine effort. THOMAS ROSE William Cary THE BEST SOUND AROUND: Throughout the past year we have been continually J. (Jay) Kilroy impressed by the admirable and generally thankless job that has been turned in by student-operated radio station WSND. The campus broadcasters have had some really copy editor and staff significant accomplishments this year. Their programing has greatly increased in WALTER RUDGE quality, and the professional competence of the station is marked. Not the least of the George Casey newer changes at WSND has been the completion of an entirely new "second voice" Peter Geniesse ^ which now serves Notre Dame in addition to its older pai-tner. Although the SCHOLAS­ Thomas Marciniak ^ TIC has been known to disagree with WSND on occasion this year, we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our cohorts on a job well done. art editor JERRY FLORENT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION: This year the administration has enacted a few- photographer changes in the disciplinaiy system which promise to make life a little easier for stu­ dents. Effective after Easter, night-check has been moved back until 10:30 p.m. This WALTER DALY, Jr. later time allows the student who would like to finish his work and go out afterwards business manager and staff an opportunity to get in an extra half-hour of woi'k. Not only this, but the new time allows an extra half-hour of uninterrupted study before the usual evening break. The ROBERT HORN new night-check time is a good idea, and in our opinion it should be retained. Still Thomas Carey another change in the mles was made. It was the trial suspension of morning checks . Joseph Hnnigan for the senior class. These checks, a vestige of the old-chapel attendance checks for­ I merly requii-ed 6 days a week, have canned over to the present day mainly to encour­ drculotion manager age the ridiculous old "early to bed, early to rise" habit. Students 20 years of age, LAWRENCE LEACH. , however, are quite capable of deciding when to get up in the morning, and the class of 1960 has managed quite well without the help of the checks. It is our suggestion moderator''-. that next year all classes be given the chance to enjoy this "senior privilege."

If the state went Stevenson, the bloc would go Church for that ballot, they meet to decide whether they would follow. If New York went Kennedy, they would also vote Kennedy. As the voting began, the New York delegation, still in caucus, passed, much to the consternation of everyone. Antici­ pating another vote for Wagner, some of the passing Western Bloc states voted for Church. Then New York cast its vote for Kennedy. Several Western states which had not yet announced their votes, spurning a firm offer of support by Eiv- ers, Patout, went to Kennedy also. The end of the ballot saw Kennedy with 660 votes, Johnson 548, Stevenson 173, and Church 96.

From the first ballot for vice-president, it was blatantly obvious that the Ken­ nedy people could not deliver 575 votes, or even 175 votes, for Church. The only states which went Church outside of the Western Bloc were the four rigidly-Ken- nedy states of Iowa, Maine, Massachu­ setts, and Oklahoma —109 votes in all. Moreover, there was no display of en­ thusiasm among any of the Kennedy suppoi-ters for Church. After the session ended, the Western Bloc leaders buttonholed Corbett, Sears, Nee, and Smith, all of whom were very apologetic for Church's poor showing. They agreed to "see the chairman" of the state delegations and to distribute mime­ ographed material on Church. They promised that the voting would be dif­ ferent on the next night, at least here they were right. On Wednesday, a second meeting was held before the convention of the Ken­ nedy people and the Western Bloc mem­ bers. At this meeting the Kennedy peo­ YOU TELL HER, MAN.

However, in spite of their gratitude, they had won no fui-ther support for Church, nor was there any of the promised campaign literatui-e for him. It became clear that the offer of the 575 votes was completely unrealiz­ able. The most they could promise was that if the splintering Western Bloc could hold together on the second ballot, they would be able to get additional sup­ port for Church on the third ballot. The rest of the story is simple. The Western Bloc held out for Church on the second ballot. The Kennedy forces increased their "gift" by one vote. On the third ballot, realizing that Church was lost, the Western Bloc finally split up. Kennedy's forces passed, then went A filM. HAS RIGHTS. Like having a Champion Oxford made just for women.

The documents vdll be added to the archive collection of the pei-sonal papers of many prominent Catholic lay­ men, according to Rev.

This is a senti­ ment broaching upon fatalism. Never in the history of mankind has a problem "passed." Problems are only worked out by the direct action of those faced with them. Eacial discrimination has not "passed" from this country since the first slave arrived three centuries ago. The only objection to demonstrations which carries any validity is the fact that violence often occurs and innocent people may be hai-med or killed. The fal­ lacy in this objection is in assuming that the gi-eatest evil mankind faces is injury or death. Although violence is always undesirable, it is not always unavoidable. It is part of the human condition that some men must suffer, as Christ suf­ fered, in order that justice may be es­ tablished. All three examples cited above were conceived as peaceful demonstra­ tions. In the sit-in strikes any violence imimiiis UBRIRY ui BOOK SHOP New Catholic Books, Missals, and Prayer Books.
