He did not answer. Her hair was not in the tight bun she had always worn, instead it was loosed and curled. And her apron was gone. She wore a plain lace dress that fell around her seat. "I was wondering," Miss Helen was rouged-pretty and now leaning forward in her chair, "would you like to come in for some tea?" She blurted this out, without preliminaries, which is unlike Emmitsburgh people. Mr. Wizelman seemed not at all surprised, and after a while he smiled. "I'd like it very much. Miss Helen. Yes, I would." Mr. Wizelman followed Miss Helen through her door. The stone house was small and windows were few. The room was dark and seemed very cluttered.

The students and the priests in the halls are both terribly busy. The extent to which we would like to share our lives just isn't possible. But, as far as we can, getting to know the students offers a meeting of minds and a sharing of perspectives. And this is part of education." Stay hall, according to Frs. Doig and Burrell, is just as essential in bringing about this meeting of minds as the section system because with the increased pressures of modem educa­ tion living in the hall with fellow residents for four years offers the only possibility of really getting to know one's colleagues.

In the first tional limits, although the unavailability of the British paper read, Dr. Willi Geiger, a justice of the West German "constitution" makes abuse of power less plain and less Federal Constitutional Com't, stressed the conflicting as­ pects of the concepts of freedom and authority, depicting the constant struggle between these two ideas in the poli­ tical processes of West Germany and in the minds of its citizens, who, he said, do not have as deep-rooted a com­ mitment to their imported and forcibly imposed demo­ cratic government as the citizens of Great Britain and the United States to their own indigenous democracies. He emphasized the problems created by abuse of freedom in a democratic country whose members are not sure what should be the relationship between state and society. "Freedom is often understood [in Germany, and probably elsewhere] very naively as 'freedom fTom something.' People don't trouble themselves anymore about the re­ sponsibility of the one who makes use of it, because they don't ask 'Freedom for what?' " Moreover, Dr. Geiger sadd, the mere fact of modern Western civilization im­ poses great restrictions on individual freedom, while at the same time the modern intellectual climate undermines the theoretical justifications for the state's necessary authority. Thus, Dr. Geiger sees a crisis of both freedom and authority developing in modem society. The solution he proposes is an educative program by which government attempts to create in people's minds an awareness of the permissible limits of individual freedom and state authority. Such an awareness already exists and long has existed in the American and British ideals of the relationship be- 20 The Scholastic easy to checic than in the United States. Both Dr. Smelser and Dr. Fitzsimons concerned themselves more with the delineation of certain historical attitudes to freedom and authority in the state than with contemporary problems in this area. The consensus among the speakers would seem best ex­ pressed by Dr. Hans Buchheim, of the Institute for Con­ temporary History in Munich: "In principle man is free, and ought to enjoy his freedom as much as possible. But there are many reasons and requirements why freedom must be limited. This thankless task falls to the state. It must . . . see to it thai the well-known principle is upheld that everyone may use his liberty only to a degree where he does not infringe on the liberty of others." Society is like a cantilevered bridge, kept from collapse by the constant tension between the state's need for authority and the individual's need for freedom. Addressing themselves to similar problems within the Church were Fr. Murray, of Woodstock Seminary, and Msgr. Dr. Michael Schmaus of the University of Munich. Here, of course, the problems are somewhat different, inasmuch as the Church, unlike the state, is not the crea­ ture of its members and is presumed to be the guardian of truth rather than the servant of the people's will. "Must not he who is responsible for the proclamation of truth, and precisely that truth which brings salvation and creates freedom, summon all means to allow it to break through? Must he not, in the interest of the com­ munity, protect order against all individual tendencies that might destroy it?" asked Monsignor Schmaus. In the past the Church's answer was always an unquali­ fied yes. The strongly felt need to protect Christians DR. MARSHALL SMELSER from the unforeseen consequences of their own actions, which was continually being justified in the minds of the Himself had ordained that men be protected from their hierarchy throughout the Middle Ages and the post- own free wills, for all authority was from God, and every Renaissance era by the great heresies, the Reformation man owed an obedience that was positively filial to those and the Age of Reason, resulted in what Fr. Murray who were set over him, in both the spiritual and the civil called "a hypertrophy of authority and an atrophy of orders. "Man," said Fr. Murray, "was subject, not citizen." freedom." In the writings of Pope Leo XIII. this frame The subject was to "see God in his superior, and the of mind was brought forward into modem times; man superior mediated to him the Divine WiU." still had to be protected from heresy. Moreover, God But "the sign of the times has changed" and today this doctrine is "not false but inadequate." "My sheer acceptance of my superior's will does not fulfill my human dignity, my responsibility to contribute to the community." Four aspects of the theology artic\ilated by the Vatican Council provide the rationale for a new theory of freedom and authority: 1. The Church is, like the "People of God," character­ ized by a "fundamental equality"; the charismatic quality of the Church is shared by the entire membership, not just by the priesthood. 2. The Church is a koinonea, a communion, or "inter­ personal community." 3. The Church is a deakonia, a "service" rendered by- its serving as a "witness"; it reaches out to draw others into the communion. 4. The Church is an organization that is .structured, hierarchically, with a unique, divine constitution. In the light of these doctrines, says Fr. Murray, we must "flesh out" the bare bones of Leo's strictly vertical hierarchical arrangement of the Church \vith "the li^/ing flesh of the community." The good of the community must come before any considerations of order. Indeed, says Msgr. Schmaus, even those whose function is the complete disruption of order within the Church — the clmrismatics, or, if you will, saints — have their function in renewing the life of the Church and must be treated with the utmost charity and the bare minimum of re­ straint. "Both freedom and authority are a service to the community. Authority is still from God, but it is to be DR. MATTHEW FITZSIMONS used in the community and for the community." • Oct. 21, 1966 21 (i atari

But at the end of three miles, John Wehrheim led a group of six of Coach Wilson's boys, now stretched out between tenth and twentieth places, and headed for home.

And Don answered, "Sixty, coach," as the rest of the group stirred into activity. "Walsh?" "Sixty-four." And soon a number followed each name in the notebook. The numbers were pulse rates, the group was the Notre Dame Cross-Country team, and the man in the blue blazer was their coach, Alex Wilson. Before every after­ noon practice, each member of the team runs a half-mile in 2:30, and, after thirty seconds, takes his pulse rate. Two minutes later the pulse is again determined. Rate of recovery, that is, rate of decrease in pulse, is directly related to conditioning. And conditioning is that certain something about which Alex Wilson wants to know all. Bergan and Walsh were in fine condition from their two- a-day workouts, but no amount of data can teU a coach when his men are ready for competition. A coach can only sense that moment. Thirty blank cartridges and one sore trigger finger later. Coach Wilson watched his team of no superstars finish their five-mile workout. Dean and Coffey were gone, so he watched Bob Walsh, with two years of eligibility remaining due to a junior-year foot operation, and Don Bergan, the only seniors on his varsity squad. And he watched Ken Howard, Pete Farrell, Kevin O'Brien and his other inexperienced but potentially great runners who had lost badly to Minnesota and edged Indiana a week before. And Alex Wilson said, "I don't think we're ready yet." That was a cold Thursday, but on Friday someone in Tallahassee sneezed three times in succession and it was 75 degrees in South Bend for the Eleventh Annual Notre Dame Invitational Cross-Country Meet. Since 1956, Notre Dame and Western Michigan had evenly spUt the Invita- tional's first-place honors, but this time around the Irish were just hoping to place.
