Hesburgh, C.S.C., announced yesterday that as of July 1 the theology department will have a new chairman and that Dean of the College of Arts and Letters Rev. Charles appointment was part of “an effort to bring theology even more fully into the intellectual life of the campus. After all, it is theology and philosophy which give the Catholic university its distinct quality, indeed Rev. James Burtchaell, C S C E. Sheedy, C.S.C. will assume the newly created post of Dean of Theological Studies and Institutes. Rev. James T. Burtchaell, C.S.C., assistant professor of theology and specialist in Bib lical theology will replace Rev. Albert L. Schlitzer, C.S.C., as chairman of the depart ment of theology. Father Schlitzer will complete a four-year term as department head on July 1. In announcing Father Sheedy’s appoint ment Father Hesburgh noted that the crea tion of the post of Dean of Theological Studies does not at the moment mean the establishment of a separate theological school at Notre Dame. Father Hesburgh said the Rev. Charles Sheedy, C.S.C. its fundamental reason for existance. According to Father Hesburgh, “one of the first tasks of Fr. Sheedy will be to study all of the possible ways of structuring theology in a modern university, and to suggest how theology might be best struct ured here at Notre Dame.” Fr. Sheedy, 55, is a native of Pitt sburgh, Pa., and a 1933 Notre Dame grad uate. He also holds a law degree from the University of Pittsburgh and a doctorate in theology from the Catholic University of America. Father Sheedy became Dean of the College of Arts and Letters in 1952. Father Hesburgh also pointed out that the co-ordination of the four major theo logical enterprises of the University will be the nature of Father Sheedy’s new position. These four areas of theological endeavor are: the department of theology which now offers an undergraduate major and a doctoral program; Holy Cross College, Cross Order which will move to Notre Dame from Washington D.C. this summer; the new Institute for Advanced Religious Studies which will be a center for post doctoral study and research; and the Notre Dame administered Ecumenical Institute for Advanced Theological Studies in Jerusalem. Father Burtchaell, 34, has been a member of the University’s department of theology for two >ears. He is a 1956 Notre Dame graduate and received his doctorate from Cambridge University and holds- degrees from the Gregorian University and the Pont ifical Biblical Commission in Rome and the Catholic University of America. Father Bur tchaell is a native of Portland, Oregon, and was ordained in 1960. From 1961 to 1963 he was engaged in research at Ecole Biblique et Archeologique Francaise in Jerusalem. Father Burtchaell said yesterday that “for the next five years the most signiticant happening in the department will be the emergence of laymen with Ph.D.’s.” Burtchell noted that in the past the theology depart ment has been the only department in the University unable to hire teachers because of the stortage of trained theologicans. On the undergraduate level Father Burtchaell pointed to the improvement of survey cour ses as one of the results of an availability of more teachers and one of his aims as chairman of the department. He also pointed to the work of the curriculum study comm issions in suggesting means of course im provement. Campus Peace Coalition Mobilizes, Attempts To “Shake The Empire” The Notre Dame Campus Coalition for Peace will emerge from the planning stage today with the start of a campus-wide publicity drive launching a week of anti-war activities culminating Fri. in a mass teach-in on the Main Quad at 1:00 p.m. The Campus Coalition is composed of several local organizations and factions and has been planning this weeks’ activities since early Feb. The Campus Coalition’s major purpose, ac cording to chair man Bill Reishman is educational, and it is hoped that the weeks activities will “mobilize anti-war support and involve students in anti-war political activities.” Reishman, former head of the local cam pus YCS and recently named a Danforth Fellow, said yesterday “LBJ’s withdrawal changes nothing. There is still no peace. The U. S. is stalling on negotations in flagrant contradiction of the President’s statement that he would go anywhere, any time, to meet with anyone in the cause of peace. We must show him that the American people want the negotations to begin now without any petty haggling.” Fri.’s teach-in is scheduled as Notre Dame’s participation in the International Student Strike, part of “Ten Days to Shake the Empire,” the National Student Mobilization Committee sponsored day of Vietnam ed ucation and indoctrination. According to co-ordinator Sam Boyle Fri.’s teach-in “will not only focus on the horror and immorality of the war but will seek to explain its causes and its direct relationship to the internal crisis or confid ence now gripping the American people.” Scheduled to speak Fri. are John Mac Dermott, editor of Viet-Report, represent atives from the Catholic Peace Fellowship, and assistant English professor Peter Michel- son and other Notre Dame faculty mem bers as well as students. Teachers are being asked to cancel classes for the duration of the teach-in. Mon., April 29 will begin a second week of activity organized by the CCP, a “Viet namese History and Culture Week” with a series of national speakers, seminars, and films. Organized by senior Tom Scherer the week will include speeches by Robert Scheerer, managing editor of Ramparts and retired U.S. Army general and war critic William Hester. Four movies including Cameron’s Inside Vietnam and Felix Greene’s Eyewitness North Vietnam are also scheduled to be shown. There is also a possibility that U.S. In formation Agency and Communist propagan da films will be shown in conjunction with a seminar on the nature and value of propaganda. This seminar is still in the planning stages, however. The name “Seven Days in May” has been given to the Campus Coalition’s ac tivities which will culminate in the ROTC Presidential Review on May 7. One of the more social events of the two weeks of anti-war activity is the Anti- Military Ball scheduled for Fri., May 3, in the Fieldhouse. Plans and arrangements for this activity are under the direction of Mike Trombetta and John Crum, CCP social commissioners. Other than F r i . ’s teach-in no planned activity will take place this week. However, chairman Reishman pointed to publicity campaigns in the dorms and the dining halls, Gorrilla Theatre’s anti-war productions and increased draft counseling facilities which are calculated to increase war conscienceness during the week. “The Notre Dame-St. Mary’s community must take a stand on this war,” said Reish man. “They must know what this war has done to the soul of America and through their involvement attempt to repair the damage.”

Vivian Advocates Black Power At Moreau ConferenceB Y P A T G A F F N E Y

F or the past th ree days, w hile m ost o f the cam pus was still calm , and in the dorm s there was only the shuffle o f fee t pushing dustm ops dow n d im , em p ty cor­rido rs, one bu ild ing , on the n o rth shore o f S t. Joseph L ake was a t a state o f unm itiga ted activ ity , th e scene was M oreau Sem inary (or M oreau H all, as the inhab itan ts p refer) and the occasion was the N ational Sem inary C onference. This was the second such C on­ference, follow ing a sim iliar assem ­bly o f a som ew hat sm aller scale, w hich m et last year in G len E llyn, Illinois.

The second session, and un- d o u b tly the high p o in t o f the C onference for m any o f the del­egates, was an address by Rev. C .T. V ivian, o f the U rban T raining C enter fo r C hristian Mission at the U niversity o f C hicago. A long tim e associate o f the late M artin L uther King J r ., Vivian spoke on the p light o f the b lack m an in “ racist A m erica.” “ In teg ra tion as we have know n it, is dead .” He suggested th a t black people have done every th ing th ey w ere to ld in their a tte m p t to gain acceptance in to the m ainstream o f A m erican life and still th ey have been re jec ted . T hey have sought ed u ca tio n , and found tha t th is was n o t the tick e t. T hey becam e skilled craftsm en , and this too d id n o t g ran t en try in to A m ­erican society . L ater, said V ivian, “We w ere to ld , the th ing for you to do is develop a m iddle class, and we set ab o u t th is task , only to find tha t the leaders

th a t w ere tra ined to lead us be­cam e the tra ito rs th a t deceived us, for in th e final analysis their m oney was given to them by w hite p eo p le .”

F ru s tra ted once again, the Black m an tu rn ed and asked w hat m ore he had to do . “ O ur liberal friends

said ‘Well, i t ’s too la te . T h e re ’s n o th ing we liberals can do n o w - th e y ’ve passed laws. These segreg­a tion laws lim it you so you have to get rid o f those law s. Laws m ade by a racist society to keep yo u in bondage.’ So we w en t

ab o u t th a t task . . . un til finally we cam e to th a t trem endous day, May 17, 1954, w hen th a t Suprem e C ourt decision was handed d o w n .” N ow , a t last, the c o u rt has spoken;

“was th is n o t a society o f law and o rd e r , wctold it n o t in fac t be w illing now to deal on a basis o f law and hopefu lly on a basis o f hum aness w ith the black people o f this cu ltu re? But no th in g happened for there was an im passe.”

Black people have no co n tro l over the ir ow n affairs , their ed ­u ca tio n , their housing , their stores “ the in s titu tio n s w ith in the ghe tto

are co n tro lled by w hite people w ho hate black peop le , w ho p u t n o th ing in to the b lack com m ­u n ity . . . N ow , survival is the issue in black com m unities and every th ing done has to operate o u t o f a survival e th ic . We m ust m ake yo u hear!

Twelve Million In Grants In ‘67

A to ta l o f $ 1 2 ,0 3 5 ,0 0 0 in gifts and grants was co n tr ib u ted to the U niversity in 1967 , the th ird h ighest to ta l in N otre D am e’s 125 year h is to ry , acc­ording to a rep o rt o f the N otre D am e F o u n d a tio n released by Mr. Jam es F rick , vice p residen t for public rela tions and develop­m en t.

The figure fo r 1967 was m ore than $2 m illion dollars over the to ta l fo r th e previous year and is to p p ed only by the $12 .4 m illion given to N o tre Dame in 1962 and the $14.1 in 1964.

i in imi ii i i imi imi i i i i imi iimi ii i i i i i i i i i iMy baptism o f fire cam e m idw ay through freshm an year. I had

been in the L aF ortune S tu d en t C enter m any tim es, b u t perhaps due to the o d o r o f the H uddle I had y e t to discover the true atm osphere o f th e place. My date and I were sitting in the F iesta (sic!) Lounge w hen, raising ou r eyes for ju s t a m o m en t, we gazed upon a short m an dressed en tire ly in black scurrying ab o u t gazing w ith stern dis­approval upon those w ho were em bracing. The passion patro l was in action .

I have learned m uch since th a t day , b u t the farcical sight o f tha t a fte rnoon rem ains som ehow illustrative o f the sp irit o f the S tuden t C enter. This is n o t our facility , som eth ing p u t a t our disposal for use. In spite o f m erry p ronouncem en ts and non -func tion ing com ­m ittees, we th e s tuden ts have no co n tro l over the opera tions o f La­F o rtu n e . O ur requests are ignored as the place is run in the spirit o f an o ld tim e freshm an dorm .

Have you ever tried to get in to “ y o u r” s tu d en t cen te r early on a Sunday m orning? A fte r m idnight? D uring a vacation? I f you have, y ou are ou t o f luck. L aF ortune closes p rom p tly at m idnight! To b o o t, “ y o u r” s tu d en t cen te r does n o t open on m any days during vacations. I t does n o t open un til 9 a.m . on m ornings.

Have you ever w an ted to sit in one o f the lounges a fte r 11:30? Have you ever w an ted to have a room un locked fo r a m eeting o f som e sort? Have you ever tried to get in to the F iesta Lounge early in the afte rn o o n ? I f you have, yo u have com e upon an o th e r part o f the L aF o rtu n e opera tion plan. As m uch o f the s tu d en t cen ter as possible is k ep t under lock and key as m uch o f the tim e as possible. Y ou are even m ade to plan a ra th e r unique version o f ro u le tte , to o , as doors are o ften locked a t random th ro u g h o u t the building m aking it im possible to travel from one place to an o th e r w ithou t a m axim um o f stealth and cunning.

In ou r discussion o f “ y o u r” s tu d en t cen te r we m ust inevitably tu rn , too , to the sparkling cuisine o f th e H uddle. The place, while k ep t as clean as possible, is m uch to o small. In seeing the long lines fo rm w here food is being served, H erbert H oover w ould have felt right at hom e.

It w ould seem th a t the H uddle also has a p rob lem o f pricing. R em em ber the “ good old days” (like last year) w hen a decen t sized Coke cost b u t a th in dim e. N ow , how ever, all th a t has changed as prices are up. The H uddle, w hich was m aking a p ro fit, now pre­sum ably is m aking a killing (R em em ber, though , th a t it all goes back in to ou r ed u ca tion ). We pr.y fo r it, even as we are locked ou t o f ou r C enter facilities.

F inally we com e to th e issue o f sex and the S tu d en t C enter. The tw o are clearly in co m p a tib le . B ro ther G orch sees to th a t. While I have w itnessed a clerical tearing ap a rt b u t once, still there is super­vision. I f you w ant to get any ac tion , you m ust run th e risk tha t big B ro ther will be w atching. O ne o f the reasons w hy there was such a dem and fo r the halfw ay house was, sim ply, th a t couples found them selves w ith o u t a decen t place to converse w ith G orch staring dow n in th e C enter and th e ghoulish foo tball players staring dow n

from the m ural in the back o f the H uddle.Clearly change is needed in the case o f “ y o u r” S tu d en t C enter.

A ppeals in the past, even fo r reactiva tion o f the com m ittee which is supposed to supervise the place, have failed. O f the A dm inistra­tion only Fr. M cCarragher is in co n stan t co n tac t w ith the affairs o f the C enter. H ow ever, as we all know , Mac is in the business o f calm ing tro u b led w aters, n o t o f m aking waves. T hus th e task falls to S tu d en t G overnm ent.

W hat should be done? The first step is to leave the C enter, all o f it including the m yriad o f locked room s, open un til 2 a.m . The H uddle, w hich closes at 10, should stay open a t least un til 11. The p resen t closing tim e is to ta lly unrealistic considering th e fact tha t m any study in the L ibrary un til 10 :30 o r so and th a t m ost o f the cam pus is up and ab o u t un til past m idnight. Moving back to the C enter, a Hi-Fi room and a T .V . room shou ld be opened im m ediate­ly. If the U niversity takes so m uch m oney o u t o f th e H uddle, it can dam ned well spend a little on creating a true c e n t e r fo r its students.

As to m anagem ent, B ro ther G orch ough t to be replaced. He is sym bolic o f the passion patro l and the very literal closed doo r policy

being pursued a t the p resen t tim e. T his is o u r s tu d en t cen te r and we should n o t be supervised excep t by ourselves. S tu d en t G overn­

m en t should proceed at once to establish som e sort o f viable studen t m anagem ent o f th e C enter. O nly th en will the spectre o f absurd ity be rem oved from L aF ortune .

H am pton C oun ty s tre tches across a sou thern p o rtio n o f S ou th C aro lina, a lm ost on a line betw een A tlan ta and Savannah, G eorgia. Pine trees line its highw ays like flesh along th e lines in a pa lm un til the road seem s to run along a canyon o f living green. The soil is sandy and along the highw ays edge grow flow ers o f every co lor — p in k , w h ite , and red a round the b u rn t stum ps o f trees and over the rusting hulks o f cars le ft to ro t in th e shade.

T he m edian incom e in H am pton C o u n ty is less than $ 2 5 0 0 and the m akesh ift lives re flec t the hard tim es. Television sets and te lephones are in frequen t

“ I ’m to o old to be w hipped an y m o re ,” one w om an says and settles back in her creaking black chair on

her grey sp lin tered porch to w atch the yo u n g give up on H am p to n , to w atch things go on as th ey have.

The M ovem ent in H am pton C oun ty m akes slow progress, reflecting the dynam ism o f one m an, Jam es M oore.

N ew Kind of Spring For SomeBY GREG W1NGENFELD

T w en ty -one Senior foo tball players dep art from N otre D am e this y e a r - eleven o f them starters. T he p layers have m ixed em o tio n s ab o u t the leave-taking. T here is a libera tion from the daily d rudgery o f p rac tice . H ow ever, there is also the rea lization th a t they will never again don the un ifo rm o f the F ighting Irish .

For the first tim e the ir spring is devoid o f fo o tb a ll. “ I t ’s great to be a free b o d y ,” qu ip p ed Kevin R asses, w ho plifyed m ost o f his N otre D am e foo tball on the p rac tice field . “ A fte r fou r years o f fo o tb a ll, the second sem ester senior year is a new life .” Jim Sm ithberger,

d o esn ’t “have to w orry ab o u t my name m oving up on the list an y m o re , bu t I was alw ays willing to grind it o u t in prac tice if it m ean t we w ould w in .” Dave M artin , w ho was responsible for 203 career tackles from his linebacking slot ven tu red th a t he “ feels like an o u ts id e r” w hen he goes in the locker room now .

T he challenge o f a career in pro­fessional fo o tba ll lies ahead o f some o f the p layers. D eep back S m ithberger, com m enting on his chances o f m aking it w ith the B o sto n P a trio ts , said , “ I ’ve had the finest coaching available and I ’ve p layed against the toughest com p etitio n in the co u n try here a t N o tre D am e. I

one-th ird o f the S .O .S . defensive back- feel I ’m fo rtu n a te in being b e tte r p re ­field , com m en ted th a t “ m ost people d o n ’t pared fo r professional ball than m any realize th a t the pressure is as g reat if o th e r p layers. If I d id n ’t feel I could

m ake the team 1 w ould n o t be ne­go tia ting w ith them n o w .”

Form idable Jo h n Pergine, a d ra ft pick o f the Los Angeles R am s, expressed satisfaction w ith his s itu a tio n . R em inded o f the fine linebacking corps possessed by the R am s, Pergine sta ted th a t he felt “ I ’ll have accom plished som eth ing if I m ake i t .” P ittsb u rg h ’s d ra f t cho ice Bleier reasoned , “ C onsidering m y ab ilities and the te am ’s need 1 th ink there m ight be a position fo r m e .”

Passed over in the d ra f t, Steve Q uinn has signed as a free agent w ith the H ousten O ilers. “ I ’m k ind o f small for

no t greater in the spring as in fa ll.” Bob “ R o ck y ” B leier, last y e a r’s team cap ta in , co n cu rred . “ In the spring p rac­tice yo u m ake or b reak a p layer. It is largely here th a t positions are w on or lo s t.”

’’I t ’s great n o t to have to w o rk ,” said Dan Harsh m an as he expressed “ m ixed em o tions ab o u t being on the sidelines.” H arshm an, w ho p layed in b o th the o ffen ­sive backfields in his career, co u n te red tha t he w ould “ m iss the gam es.” S teve Q uinn last y e a r’s c en te r, ad m itted happily th a t he was “ en joy ing ' the freedom from practice and p ressu re .” He n o ted th a t he

the p ro s ,” he reflec ted , “ b u t players like Mike T ing lehoff, J im O tto and Jim R ingo, all ab o u t m y size, have established them selves. So m aybe I have a sh o t.”

N ot all the players will go on to pro ball. Kevin Rassas p u ts it ap tly . “ E verybody can ’t be A ll-A m erican.” A nd all the A ll-A m ericans can ’t be pros. Blue Circle m em ber M artin , p resen tly nego t­iating w ith the Philidelphia Eagles, re­m arked th a t he w ould “ Like to feel th a t I d o n ’t have to play fo o tb a ll.” H e, S m ithberger, and Bleier are con­sidering law school. Public R ela tions ap­peals to Pergine, coaching to Rasses and graduate w ork to Q uinn and H arshm an.

G raduation brings w ith it expected ly m ixed feelings. The relief o f getting the sheepskin is tem pered by the nostalgia o f past good tim es. “ R ight now I ’ll say th a t N otre D am e is a nice place to be fro m ,” offered S m ithberger. “ I ’ll miss it la te r .” Pergine agreed, “ Y ou can ’t

appreciate the place till y o u ’re o u t .”The challenge o f the fu tu re was neatly

sum m ed up by Dan H arshm an . “ In school you had tim e to th in k . N ow is the tim e to a c t .”
