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.

February, 1965 Page 3 Approach To Biology Stresses Participation More participation by the students ' is the aim of the new biology program initiated this year at BCHS. The sophomores, under the direction of Sister Ronalda, are undertaking a new approach to biology. Through their own investigations, they are given the chance to learn what science is and how a scientist works. The lab desks are set up so that work can be accom- plished with greater ease. Under this program, each class is divided into individual team groups of four who take part in various experiments. This enables students to make comparisons of the experimental work done by all the classes. It also helps by giving the opportunity to search for the correct con- clusions to the various ex- periments. The program itself is divided into several six-week groups of intensive study on a single phase or topic of biology. During these weeks the student makes his own investigation, studying a given series of problems. Because no answers are given, the student really works with an unknown. He is expected to interpret his observations and to arrive at conclusions that will answer specific questions set before him. The aim of this program, more participation by the students, is fulfilled every day through the many ideas expressed by the groups. Finally, students can feel the excitement of scientific dis- covery and the pride of doing a difficult but valuable job. Sue Ryan Term Papers Plague Juniors, Seniors The main project of junior and senior English classes during the third quarter is the term paper. The papers, ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 words, have a variety of topics. The seniors are limited to some topic related to the study of language or literature. Juniors may chose historical topics in conjunction with Coach Bar- nobo’s American history classes. Students were polled con- cerning their anticipation of term papers. Some students feel term papers are not worth the time and effort: I think they re an injustice and too much work. —Marilyn Bugpi. Consolation is given to someone who has at least one use for them: “They’ll keep me warm when I bum them during the winter.' —Jeanne Brown. A senior refused to commit himself whatsoever. “I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me. —Joe Bergeson. One person summed up the attitude of most juniors, who have never done a term paper. 1500 words sounds like a lot of words. —Bruce Mclnnis. Some students could think of only one word to describe what they thought about term papers: “Ugh! —Mary Preston. Mary Egdorf Tom Retzin.;er and Fred Haeelow uont at a biology ex. eriJient.
