tho university president.
THE COUNCIL MET with
MIR. Sammartino for two hours
before announcing the resig-
nations. Mr.. Sammartino call
ed the meeting "a very
healthy disc uSsion" and
promised some reforms. How
ever, permission for the for
nation of religious clubs,
such as the Newman Club for
Catholics, was not among the
promises.

"unjustly harmful to the pres
tige of the Church"
MANUEL CARDINAL Ar

signing the protest. The Bish-
ops letter - understood to
have been signed by nine
members Of the episcopate
following a meeting in Ha-
vana was made public
(Dec. - following erroneous
reports that Archbishop En-
rique Perez Serantes of San
tiago had been arrested.
The protest was made with
in a week after Premier Cas-
tro himself spoke out against
"cassocked henchmen." The
government chieftain asserted
in a speech Nov. I'D that the
revolution had proved that
there were payments by the
sugar centers to some of the
clergy" AS a result, he charg-
ed, such priests preached
submission among the peas

The Bishops said in their
protest:
I'VE DO NOT KNOW of
one single case where chap
lains at sugar mill communi-
ties acted as agents of ex-
ploitation of the workers. On
the other hand, we do know
they have defended the rights

in the West.

"A case in point is the
matter of clothing. My OBJ

new generation the skirt is
going up and up, and the
neckline is coming down

because it does not lead to a
dignified appearance.
Clothes
"Slacks are all right at

be worn on the street. Ber-

an impression of being free

don't lower yourself in the
process" she said.

not be confused with aban-
