UW Professor Speaks Of Secular Colleges Is a secular campus dangerous to the soul of the Catholic? Dr. Richard F. Fenske of the University of Wisconsin assured parents and students Tuesday evening, Jan. 26, at the Home and School meeting that the loss of faith need not be the result of attendance at a secular college. “The secular campus in fact, be a source of strength can oe a and vitality to the students’ faith,” he said in his talk on “The Catholic Student on the Secular Campus.” Dr. Fenske is an associate professor of chemistry (the first Catholic professor of chemistry in the history of the University of Wisconsin), faculty moderator of the Mad- ison Newman Center, and frequent lecturer at Pre-Cana conferences. There is not a straight yes or no answer to the question of Catholics on the secular campus, Dr. Fenske asserted. Statistics show that for every student at a Catholic college, there are two attending a state college. However, Dr. Fenske firmly believed the strength of his faith was due to his attendance at Marquette Uni- versity. While it teems natural for more students to lose their faith at a secular school Jian at a Catholic college, Dr. Fenske wondered what kind of Catholics they were in the beginning. He questioned the validity of blaming the loss of faith on the university rather than on the ndividual student. He stated that faith depends more upon the quality of moral and theological training in good Christian homes than upon external conditions on the campus. Dr. Fenske warned parents to put less emphasis on com- pulsory college education for their children. We have all been pushing for the ideal that we must be better than we are. This viewpoint neglects the fact that the student is an individual with his own per- sonal motivation and ability. Parents, he warned, have been guilty of placing undue emphasis on the importance of top-grades. He stressed that some students, ungble to meet these demands, have literally pushed themselves to the peak of their mental limit. They already regard themselves as failures simply because they cannot maintain the A and B average they had in high school. Parents were urged to consider the student’s talents and to form their hopes comparably and within reasonable access. Today more than ever, Dr. Fenske indicated, each of us has the responsibility to cur- selves, to our community, and to our God to become educated to our limit. As a result, Catholic students have more valid reasons today than formerly for attending state schools. The main reason for such attendance, he pointed out, is that some talented students are simply unable to meet the expense of a Catholic college. He also noted, however, that sometimes the Catholic colleges are rated as second because they lack the funds for equip- ment and faculty that the state college can afford. In conclusion, Dr. Fenske assured parents that a college education on the secular cam- pus need not cause them fear, though it must be met with caution.

Seniors Pete Von Kampen and Pat Spano pause to discuss a question with Fr. Edward Kersten, who conducted the annual retreat Nov. 23-25. Unique in this year's retreat was the deci- sion for group discussions to be held by each homeroom. By special permission the new liturgy was also used at Mass each day. Official use of the liturgy throughout the U.S. began one week later. Test Yourself! Two legs sat upon three legs, With one leg in his lap; In comes four legs, And runs away with one leg. Up jumps two legs, Catches up three legs, Throws it after four legs, And makes him bring back one leg. Thirty white horses upon a red bill. Now they tramp, now they champ, now they stand still. Long legs, crooked thighs. Little head, no eyes. Little Nancy Etticote, In a white petticoat. With a red nose; The longer she stands The shorter she grows.

December 1964 SophoMorts Moke 1965 Resolotioos Some sophomores have looked past Christmas and have come up with some New Year resolutions for 1965. Cindy Wieland resolves to be as good as she was last year, and Michele Chekouros promises never again to argue on the phone with her best friend. Gloria Sierra is never again going to contribute to the support of our school through gum fines, and Gerry Kennedy has promised never again to pay $7.50 for a pack of gum. Mike Luttig is going to break down and do his geo- metry every night, while Borb Hudson and Evelyn Pilgrim are going to restrain them- selves from throwing food in the classrooms. Cindy Porker promises to bring lollipops to school three times a week, while John Zabel resolves not to resolve, because people who resolve and don’t keep their resolutions only make fools of themselves. Pat Fitzgerald is going to break’em as soon as she makes’em, and Jane Aeschli- mann thinks they’d be great if only she could keep them. These written resolutions will be kept on file in case any of the makers forget their good intentions. Marjorie Meyers AND A 5 my ysm
