sl Law School students get courtroom practice in Moo! Court proceedings. Vil- Evidence of national concern indicated In his commencement address at Marquette University, Robert Ken- nedy, then Attorney General, noted this about the activist student of the '6O's: Peace marchers or college civil rights demonstrations may not always express their concerns in the wisest or most effective manner, but it is clear that those concerns are deeply felt. The school credo, which all the stu- dents espouse, inculcates this con- cern with all the essential liberties of American Democracy and takes open and frank issue with all brands of spurious democracy. The Univer- sity's aim to develop the whole man certainly fits in with good citizenship. The University, many of its depart- ments, and many student organiza- tions have national commitments and memberships. Federal research grants indicate this too, as do the ROTC, programs like the Model UN, and organizations such as the Young Democrats and Young Republicans. It is a move to get away from the type ofperson that J. Robert Gppenheimcr, the noted scientist and peace worker, feels he was early in his life: l was almost wholly divorced from the contemporary scene in the country l never read a newspaper or magazine like Time or Harper'sg I had no radio, no telephone: I learned of the stock market crash in the fall of l929 only long after the event .... 9

The Second Vatican Council opened the way for Mass in the vernacular. Lyndon B. Johnson was elected President in a landslide and began calling for a Great Society. Khrusehev was deposed in Russia. Nehru died in India. One can't, without error, predict the events of tomorrow. but this doesn't stop one from won- dering where western civilization and the world is heading and what influence the New Breed will have in its getting there, The social concern of this group has been evidenced, but it takes more than concern to solve the dilemmas of modern society. In addition, the New Breed must resolve its incon- sistencies. Rev. Andrew Greeley, SJ., admitting some puzzle- ment over the groups, probes them in this way: They are a paradoxical bunch, supremely self-confident, yet anxious and restless: they are organizationally efficient and yet often diplomatically tactlessg they are eager to engage in dialogue and yet frequently inarticulate in what they want to say: they are without ideology and yet insistent on freedom, they are generous with the poor and suffering and terribly harsh in their judgements of their elders and superiors: they are ecu- menical to the core and yet astonishingly parochial in their tastes and fashions: they want desperately to love but are not sure that they know how to love. The New Breed has its problems. Fr. Greeley doesn't believe there are too many of them, but they are making so much noise that one hardly has time to notice the majority. One can only hope they won't lose the idealism college students are noted for,
