Such antics do more to aid the Com

think of and the only extenuating fac

Il believe it is under the guidance
of the Holy Ghost that the Second
Vatican Council has been called at this
moment in the history of mankind"
Anglican Bishop r.. A. Gowing of
Auckland, New Zealand.
"All respect for human life dis
appears if we begin TO draw a line
between biological ages or the degrees
of helplessness that permits someone
to take the life of a human being.
Logically, we would have to grant
that all persons physically or mental
ly incapacitated at any age should
equally be put out of their distress
along the lines Of Hitler's super-state
concentration camps, where millions
of innocent Jews were gassed.
I'm u present civilization, what
human is to decide the degree of in
c~apacitation that calls for DEATH"

man of the moral theology depart
ment at LOyola University (Chicago).

EVERYMAN'S FAMILY
Ciue q lot, take q little
before you make q choice

1t is Socrates who has been given
credit for first voicing the thought
that the big challenge in life is to-
know thyself.
1t is a job that begins the day each
person is born and it ends the day he
dies. Or perhaps it ends only in the
possession of full acknowledge with
God in heaven and that, in a sense,
never ends.
BUT FOR THE young person,
caught in a transition from childhood
to adult life, this can be a very pain
full process. More painful, actually,
than it should be if he is looking in
the wrong mirrors of other peoples
thoughts, feelings and emotions about
him.
In a sense, trying to understand
oneself better by looking in the mir
ror of other peoples reactions to one
self is like standing in front of the
distorted mirrors of a fun house. One
mirror shows you five by five with a
head like a pumpkin. Another indi-
Gates you are about seven feet tall
with your head coming to a sharper
point than usual. In either case, you
are seeing a distorted image of your
self and it could be frightening if you
were to take it seriously.
This is not to say that other people
can't clue you in to yourself and give
you insights into your own gifts and
needs. But what is needed is a truer
reflection than that afforded by other
human beings whose own headaches,
heartaches and disappointments can
distort the image they send back to
you.
This is one of the unfortunate
things about going steady too 0 o

speaking, the high school years.

BY and large. the alumni Of Catho-
lie colleges and universities are not
supporting their alma matters as wide
ly as the alumni of many of the older
private colleges are supporting theirs.
In view of the dim prospect of
church-related institutions for a shar-
ing of any federal funds for higher
education Congress may appropriate,
the lack of w~holehearted alumni sup
port of Catholic colleges will make
more difficult the expansion programs
needed to care for the steady growth
of enrollments.
THE MEASURE of alumni support
is not the amount of the average con-
tribution. Since a substantial percent
age of the students of the so-called
Ivy League colleges tend to come from
families of considerable means, it is
only natural that their average contri-
buttons should run higher than that
of the alumni of most Catholic colleg-
rs.
GN0l oOs tIlt dlAIllill VI q 1tW AdilI-
olic colleges are matching and in some
instances exceeding the average on
tribution of the alumni of some of the
famed non-Catholic colleges.
The real Measure of alumni support
is to be found in the percentage of
alumni who give at all.
Judged by this yardstick, according
to a study by the American Alumni
Council, the alumni of Catholic coli
leges are not measuring up to the
alumni of the richly endowed older
institutions, although there are a few
exceptions.

solicitation of alumni, three Catholic
colleges, University of Notre Dame,
st. Louis University and Loyola Uni
varsity of Los Angeles, rank among

read a book by George Boyle entitled
1.-THE Poor Mans Prayer"
This book has been out of print for
several years, but a new edition was
published a few months ago by the
Helicon Press of Baltimore, Md, at
the suggestion Of the Credit Union
National Association and of the Ex-
tension Department of st. Francis
Xavier University, Antigonish, Nova
Scotia, where Mr.. Boyle went to
school and where he taught for a num-
Der of years prior to his untimely
death.
Mr.. Boyle's book is the story in
novelized, biographical form of AL
phonse D~esjardins, who founded the
credit union movement in North
America. But 1t is more than just a
credit union book.
The late Bishop Bray of st. John.
New Brunswick. onc described
George Boyle as the mind of the
o nish movement and, in
many ways, he was just that.
Mr.. Boyle, in 1.-THE Poor Mans
Prayer" put into the mouths of the
books characters his own profound
understanding of Catholic social
thought and action.
USE THE word profound" adj
visedly, for | share the opinion of the
late Bishop John r. Macdonald of An
tigonish who once observed that
George Boyle personified the virtue of
social justice to a remarkable degree.
MI. Boyle considered Alphonse Des-
jardins a LAY apostle of the social
order back in the 1905, long before
that term came into current vogue.
Desjardins' message was Every man
has a social duty"
When Boyle's book was first pub
lished by Harper and Brothers in
1850, it was circulated chiefly among
credit union people. 1t seems particu-

II am not complaining about the
(educationa) taxes, o do wish to
suggest that the public schools don't
need the tax support they now re-
ceive.
1.-THE plain fact, however, is that
Catholics who pay taxes for public
education, who pay inflated prices
caused in part by these taxes, who
pay for operation of Catholic
schools, carry a financial burden
much heavier than that borne by their
non-Catholic neighbors.

of circumstances. Defiance of duly
constituted law is never justified. We
in the United States are a govern
ment of laws and not of men.
HISTORIANS tell us that the con-
flict of ideals and ways of life that
separated South from North 100 years
ago was not as deep-seated and ir-
~feconcilable as it appeared at that
time.
We believe the same to be true to-
day. The great majority of citizens in
u Southern States are people of pa
triotism, honor and integrity. All of
us should join together in opposing
the forces of hatred and bigotry and
laWleSsness and heal the wounds that
are within, as called for by our Pres
ident, so we can turn to the greater
crises that are without.
We are told the Old South was a
civilization marked by honor, culture
and charm. We believe most true
southerners are true heirs to that
tradition. 1t is only because of rab-
b~le-rousers and fanatics that the tra-
dition as well as the era might be a

THE
Catholic alumni lag in contributions

the first ten. Of the University of No
ire Dame Alumni solicited last year,
1875 per cent responded, of the st.
Louis alumni, 81 per cent, of the 10y
ola alumni, 35.7 per cent.
Against the record of the alumni of
most of the private universities, these
Catholic colleges made a relatively
good showing. But TOT per cent of
Princeton alumni, 68.8 per cent of
Dartmouth alumni, and 45.9 per cent
of Yale alumni made contributions in
1861.
Graduates of some of the smaller
Catholic colleges appear to be more
loyal to their alma matters than those
of the larger, better-known Catholic
institutions.
Why this should be so is not al
together clear, although the explana-
ton may be that the alumni of the
larger institutions are mor prone to
adopt a lett eorge-do-it attitude,
aware as they are that their school
has a more numerous body of gradu-
ates to fall back upon than the small
er colleges.
AT ANY RATE, Niagara Universe

Orleans had higher rates of effective

hand, only 11.6 per cent of Catholic
University alumni made gifts; IT. per

TO TIE YOURSELF up in an inti-
mate, exclusive relationship for an
indefinite period of time with another
human being of a different sex and a
different personality without first
having had the opportunity to dis
cover who you are is to play a game
of Russian roulette with your poten-
tial of happiness. 1t may turn out
well but the odds are against it.
Before you can find something you
have to know what it is you are look
ing for. So many people are running
around looking for the right person
to marry and latching onto the first
one who is reasonably human and
willing.
This is often done without first
having discovered what ones own
needs of loving and being loved are.
HOW is 1T possible to check out
another person as being capable of
loving you and willing to receive your
gifts of love if your own ideas Of

The difficulty is not in finding the
right person, but in being the right
person.
Know myself = your needs, your
gifts, your hopes, your dreams, your
aches, your loneliness. Meet many peo-
pie, date many people, get a little ex-
perience in life, give a lot, take a lit
tie, do some praying and sharpen up
that image of yourself that is in the
mind of God.
Then, without haste or anxiety.
start looking seriously and start low
ing seriously.
Don't forget the guidance of God.
If you do your job of knowing your
self better, He will do His of guiding
your choice of another.

gifts and ranked close to the top in the
average amount of individual gifts.
In fact, if the percentage of Catho-
lie alumni responding to appeals for
funds leaves much to be desired, the
size of the contributions of those who
did give ranks with that of the most
generous supporters of none Catholic
institutions.
Gifts of the alumni of Loyola Uni
versity (Chicago), for example, av-
eraged $91.04, exceeded by those of
only two or three other leading uni.
versities. Niagara's average gift was
$500; st. Louis $76.25; Crighton's
$75.35; Fordham's $63; University of
Notre Danes $60.81.
THESE individual gifts stack up
well against $54.66 for Harvard:
S49.13 for Cornell; S22.86 for Duke;
S31.55 for Johns Hopkins, and $48.53
for University of Pennsylvania.
Notre Dame alumni also led those
of all other Catholic colleges in the
total of their 1861 gifts - $688, 760.
Loyola (Chicago) ranked second with
1913, 104; st. Louis third with $751;
303 and Fordham fourth with $780,
766.
Although Catholic colleges have
had only partial success in enlisting
support of their alumni, the problem
is not limited to them. Many nom
Catholic colleges, according to AAC
study, received support from not more
than 10 per cent of the alumni solicit
ed.
But Catholic colleges, for the most
part denied federal aid and lacking
large endowments, have perhaps a
greater claim upon their alumni for
support than most Catholic insti-
tuticns.

October has been designated as
Catholic Education Month in the Do
cese of Columbus.
1T HAS BEEN set aside as a time
for Catholics to provide information
about Catholic education to the peo-
pie of our communities, both Catholic
and non-Catholic.
During October special sermons
will be given in all our churches on
the philosophy of Catholic education,
religious traditions in American edu-
cation, and parental rights and obliga-
tons in education. The purpose is to
inform our people so they can know
more about our schools and commune
cate II to others.

lets on Catholic education from a ma
tional, state, diocesan and parish view
point will be distributed. Later, talks,

formed to learn more. Details of these
projects will be released next week.
THIS PROGRAM has no direct con-
nection with the question of federal
aid to education, even though the mat
ter may very we'll be brought into
consideration.
The objective of Catholic Education
Month is simply to tell the story of

American Catholics have good rea-
son to take an active part in this OBJ
rvanc for there are more than 800
Catholic organizations with credit UNI
ions in the United States.
No other religious group In the US.
Is quite so active in the credit union
movement.
CREDIT UNIONS are groups Of
people who have voluntarily joined
together to promote thrift and to pro-
vide productive loans to one another
at a low rate of interest-never more
than one per cent of the unpaid bal
ance of the loan.
But credit unions must work to-
ward something ven more important
than savings and loans for productive
and provident purposes.
They must aim at developing a spir-
II of cooperation in economic life.

solve all of our economic problems.
They are part Of the answer, how
