Realizing in the Catholic Action moi Prep took part in a round table Press. Father Egbert was opened the discussion with his paper on The Here the need for an news from the Catholic view was pointed out. Another paper by rancis Carraher on the News Value of the Catholic Press stated that since most Catholic papers are weelclies the news in them is of little current value. That there is a need for a national daily Catholic paper with unified opinions was a fact all recognized. To compete with the secular press it was agreed that it must have up-to-date news stories, syndicated columns, sports and women's pages, and foreign correspondents. Discussions introduced by the girls led to such topics as Religion in the Navy , Congregational Singing , The Value of the Parochial School System , and Noted Catholic Authors. Opinions from both groups of students were given unhesitatingly without any reservation. The hour flew by as opinions clashed and decisions were reached. Subjects suggested for future discussion in the club were HMovie Censorship , The Magazines We Read, and Recent Novelsf' The primary aim of this group is to train the Catholic youth to develop his faculties, to think for himself on topics relating to his religion, and to enable him to discuss intelligently the current events of history in the light of Catholic truths and principles. 32
