Badger Boys State Impresses Mike “It was the most interesting week I have ever spent,” was Mike Hahn’s description of Badger Boys State. Mike represented BCH at the session June 15-23 at Ripon College, Ripon, Wis. Mike was placed in Solomon City, Dodge County. The county is equivalent to the dorm and the city represented his floor of the dorm. At BBS the boys learn about government. They hold elec- tions for city officials and county and state leaders. Mike was elected Mayor of Solomon City. He was also district committee-man and delegate of the Federalist party to the state assembly. During the week representa- tives attended several clas- ses explaining the different branches of the government. Mike enrolled in and graduated October. 1963 MIKE HAHN was ’63 Badger Boys’ State representative from BCHS. from Law School, where every day he, along with the majority of the boys, would hear various prominent lawyers and judges. There was also recreation time for the representatives. Official leagues were or- ganized in basketball, football, softball and tennis. A band and a concert orchestra were also formed. One of Mike’s unforgettable joys was the friendships gained during the week. Mike says he still writes to three of the friends he met and hopes to visit one of them soon.

Page 2 We Musf Search For Truth In Race Problem It seems that the age old problem of civil rights crops up wherever you find people who core, no matter what their convictions are on the subject. As Catholics we are put in a special spotlight since the Church has been a forerunner in the struggle for human rights for all people. But as individuals we are not quite living up to the stan- dards set for us by Mother Church. Many white people still hold the conviction that the colored person has not evolved from the cave man stage os far as the white man has. With a minimum of reading one will discover that the white man is physically closer to the cave man than the colored since his arms and legs are still covered with hair, a characteristic of our primitive ancestors. The Negroid race, however has no hair on the arms and little on the legs. There are other examples which anyone with intelligence can discover for himself if he stops talking long enough to listen and observe. And that is my point; I have talked about the race pro- blem to many people in and out of school. Most of them seem to be torn between their parents,who tend to be mildly prejudiced or extremely so, and their teochers, who strive to show the moral aspect of the problem without producing really convincing facts. Thus we come to believe that the Negro is our brother, though his skin is darker than ours, but it is left up to each one of us to discover the WHY’S of this principle. We are willing to admit that something is wrong somewhere, but the time has come to DO something about it. Our public library and our own school library have worth- while books on the subject of races. If you are concerned about the physical aspect of the question you could read COMMON SENSE ABOUT RACE, an excellent book by Philip Mason. You will be shocked as I was. The state- ments in .this book are not guesses or conclusions; they are scientific facts. Jacob J. Javitt's DISCRIMINATION U.S.A. might help you to understand better the problem in America. BLACK LIKE ME, by John Howard Griffin will show you the more human side. And there are many more. It is difficult to argue on a subject with only our con- victions to back us up. If we are sincere, we will listen to our hearts, but we will not hear if our hearts are full of fear bred of ignorance. We have been taught by former generations to fear something which is imaginary; now we must seek the truth for ourselves. We must be the ones to tear away from the bonds of fear and conquer our prejudices so that this fear will end now, in this century. November, 1963 Only One Heart To Judge “Is our goodness only on the exterior?” asked Father Augustine Rock, O.P., at a special assembly. Of course Father didn't want any public confessions in assembly but he did want to start us thinking about the the present condition of our souls. Do we have good, clean, decent hearts?” Or are they dirty, lousy, and nasty? Are we more concerned with our neighbor's business than our own? Are we making it more difficult for our friends to stay in grace? Do we practice the virtue of love? We can take our life in school and apply these questions to it: Are we prone to gossip in between classes? Do we find that cheating gets a little easier each time? Do we snub some people? Since we will hove to answer these questions to Christ at the last judgment, we ought to start now and be able to answer them in the negative. Remember • each of us has only one heart to judge.
