The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine was estab- lished to promote the lay apostolate among Catholic Christians. To achieve this goal, our campus CCD unit stimulates the students, apostolic zeal by offering them the opportunity to spread their faith through catechetical teaching. Our campus CCD unit in conjunction with the Inter- collegiate CCD Board sponsored a Campus Confrater- nity Day. The program featured the six divisions of CCD and emphasized the role of the student in CCD. TYPICAL OF CCD teachers, E.

- -sg ,- CONVENTION-BOUND N.S.A. delegates M. P. Carlow, M. Caruso and E. Motsay pack all the necessary convention mater- ials. Y. C. S. Young Christian Students, a student action organization, strives to bring Christ to the stu- dent community. Interested students, after suc- cessfully completing a one-semester probation period, become full-fledged members of the Cath- olic Action Group. The YCSers, under the direction of Father James Hilbert and Sr. M. Immaculate, are guided towards sound Catholic action by first, observing the problem, second, judging its extent and seri- ousness, and third, arriving at an action which will alleviate the problem and improve the com- munity. This year members carefully investigated the problem of migrant workers, with the aim of discovering possible ways of helping them towards a more stable existence. How to bring about their acceptance by communities, how to establish social service, how to guarantee a just wage for migrants-these were some of the questions exam- ined by the group. On the campus itself, the YCS organization works to promote campus enthu- siasm and inject Christian attitudes in the outlook of the student body. N.S. . Through the National Student Association, American College students have the opportu- nity to exchange ideas on problems pertinent to their campus. This year N.S.A. concentrated on two special projects: aid to foreign students and the Peace Corps. N.S.A. serves the student by providing an information bureau and travel service which are invaluable to the campus leaders. The most important feature of N.S.A. activ- ity is the national student congress held annu- ally on a midwest campus. Representatives from 1500 colleges and universities provided our del- egates E. Motsay and M. Lynch with fresh new ideas on student leadership. TOP: FATHER HILBERT guides Y.C.S.'ers in their search for solutions to campus and national problems. BOTTOM: Y.C.S.'ers E. Grazioli, J. Kreutter, C. Mueller, L. Widowski, and T. Friant report on the scope of their prob- lems. 51

,, f it . A 2 Q Sodality Taking Morality in National and International Affairs as this year's theme, the Sodality endeav- ored to bring its members against the doubts that confront them in our troubled world. Fraternal char- ity in national affairs constituted the main interest of the first semester. A tape recording of brain- washing of Korean war veterans served as a basis for discussion. With Communism as a focus of inter- est for the second semester, Sodalists were presented the tape: U.S. and Threat of World Communismf' and a film report of 'fOperation Abolitionji provid- ing material on the nature of Communism. The Sodality also conducted an annual commun- ion breakfast in honor of the Immaculate Concep- tion, a day of recollection with Gannon's St. Thomas More Club, and a day of discussion on Communism to which Xavier University Sodalists were invited. THE SODALITY OFFICERS D. Smith, M. Fiedler, S. Himes, R. Donohue, and D.
