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.
