You Ask My Age
Jottings
By BARBARA C. JENCKS
I am older than dawn
And sunset are.
I can think past the light
Of the oldest star
Older I am
Than any star
And younger than
The angels are.
SISTER MADELEVA
HOW OLD AM I? This month I mark another birthday. I am one
year nearer heaven, where one day is like a thousand. Am I young
or am I old? Only the God who created me knows. I was in His
mind before the world was born. I was in His mind that day at
Calvary. He wept over me in the Garden of Gethsemani. One day
He gave me earthly life. One day He will grant me eternal life.
When will it be? Tomorrow or next year? When will I become
what He had in mind for me before the world was made? How
many years to heaven? I hope not many more for the world
has made me homesick and lonely for the meadows of heaven.
And yet should I not be fearful of the time past and time present
which has been all too often wasted?

ELIOT SAYS that “Time present and time past are both perhaps
in time future.” Time is a fascinating thing to contemplate.
Time is, has been, and will be. All that has gone before me and is
now is also my tomorrow and forever—all the people and places
and experiences of the world: Brigid at Kildare, de Sales at
Geneva--my mother’s grave in Pawtucket—people met and yet to
meet unknown but known. I am what I have been in the lamented
yesterdays, words wasted and words unsaid, ideas which change
and ideals which stay, a homely skinny urchin with freckles
and an immaculate starched lady who crowned the statue of Our
Lady, a weary worker in her mid-thirties. I am all the past,
sunburned noses, uncontrollable weeping, a mother’s kiss in a
sickroom, books read, petitions prayed, sorrow, joy. I am the
columnist who now hunches over a typewriter. 1 am all my sins
and every redeeming act. I am what I want to be with all my
heart but fail to be—and what I might have been—a missionary,
a published novelist, a mother of a little boy, a saint?! They are
all here with me in this moment which is my birthday, a beginning
and an end. How old am I then? Who knows both past and present
merge with future.
EARLY MORNING puts me on winged flight through time. I
cannot reach out and touch time yet I walk with it. I step up on
the bus crowd against the old and the young, carry the same
burdens of humanity’s weakness and its glories, too. Time is

Says Private Colleges
“Must Assume The Worst”
ALBANY, N. Y., (NC)—Offi
cials of church-related and
other private colleges and uni
versities “must assume the
worst” about their future, a
prominent educator said here.
Carroll V. Newsom said that
public higher education will
boom in the coming years, that
many private colleges will sell
out to the state and that private
colleges which try to compete
with state schools will lose
out.
Newsom, now vice president
of a major textbook publishing
firm, had a long career in high
er education climaxed by a sev
en-year tenure as president of
New York University. Its en
rollment of nearly 40,000 makes
it the largest privately financed
university in the country.
Newsom gave the principal
address at the annual meeting
of the Conference of Catholic
Colleges and Universities of
New York State. The meeting
was held at the College of St.
Rose.
Newsom, a congregationalist
spoke strongly of the need to
fight for the survival of private
higher education. But he stress
ed that in the future, private
schools will need to make “a
unique and desirable contribu
tion to civilization” to survive.
He warned against secular
ization of education, saying that
if this philosophy is successful
in taking over schooling, “we
as a civilization are headed for
grave difficulties.”
This was related to legal
Church-State questions, he
said, explaining:
“The citizens of this country
cannot afford to forget that our
nation was created as a
religious nation. We rightfully
take pride in our Judeo-Chris-
tian heritage, for it has made
of us a different people. Thus
actions of government that are
essentially antireligious, that
make it difficult for religious
agencies to function, represent
a critical break with our tradi
tion.”
Of the future, Newsom called
it "inevitable" that public high
er education will "grow at a
rapid rate” as the number of
applications for a college edu
cation increases.
"This will be accentuated by
the increasing number of pri
vate institutions that will sell
out to the state,” he said.
If the present trend of stu
dents toward public higher edu
cation continues, “the number
of students in private institu
tions within 15 years will be a
very small fraction of the total
number attending college,” he
said.
Newsom saw no merit in op
posing public education’s ex
pansion. He advocated closer
cooperation with public educa
tion.
“An institution that does not
try to compete with public in
stitutions has a greater possi
bility of survival,” he added.
forever. Before I reach the chapel where I will assist at Mass,
God has been elevated and adored and received by hundreds.
God is. There is no time with God. I walk through rains which
touch Egyptian sands and Dublin streets which will ever fall.
I walk again before sunsets stretched against red-streaked skies
which were and are and will be.
* * #
ON ONE'S BIRTHDAY, there is excuse to be philosophical
about time. I see and wonder, the sun was before I was and will
be after I am. 1 kneel with the young who begin life; kneel with
those who are near the end of life. I am suspended between heaven
and earth. I talk with Peter and Patrick and Maria Goretti of
the Roman martyrs. I speak the modern lingo. I eat and I sleep
and I work and I sin as man has ever done. Yet I belong to a
certain period of time in the measurement of man. When will I
see the God who is the same yesterday, today and forever—how
many years to heaven?

(First of a twelve-part series)
Among the twelve commun

Savannah are the Sisters, Ser
vants of the Immaculate Heart
of Mary.
They are more familiarly
known as the “Immaculate
Heart Sisters”, or just “The
I.H.M.’s”.
Together with lay teachers,
they staff St. James School in
Savannah. The distinctive blue
habit of this community is sym

Committee Backs
Bus Amendment
In Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis., (NC)—The
State Assembly's Education
Committee has recommended
adoption of an amendment to the
Wisconsin Constitution which
would permit tax-paid school
bus rides for private school
children.
The State Supreme Court in
June, 1962, threw out a law
authorizing such transporta
tion. The court held in a 4 to
2 decision that the law violat
ed a state constitutional pro
vision of separation of Church
and State because pupils of
church-related schools rode the
buses.
Amendment of the consti
tution requires approval in two
sessions of the Legislature and
a referendum vote. A school
bus amendment was rejected by
the voters in 1946.
The amendment, proposed by
four Democrats and three Re
publicans, is expected to be
rewritten before it is put to
a vote in the Assembly.
It amends a section of the
constitution dealing with the
state’s duty to educate chil
dren, but leaves inact another
section on Church-State separ
ation. The supreme Court de
cision was based on Church-
State section.
About 60,000 children in Wis
consin attending parochial and
other private schools would be
eligible for bus transportation.
Says Laymen
Have Duty To
Transform World
DENVER, Colo., (NC)—Lay
men have a duty to transform
the World, Bishop LeoC. Byrne
of Wichita, Kan., said here.
Bishop Byrne, speaking at a
Communion breakfast held
underKnights of Columbus spon
sorship, said that “the Church
lays upon the clergy the obli
gation of forming the layman,
but the layman hat. (he respon
sibility of transforming the
world.”
He stressed that individual
reform is essential to any pro-
gran of social reform.
“Before any of us can think
of transforming the world or
anyone in the world, we must
start with ourselves,” he said.
“And we must strive to trans
form our own lives . . .tomake
them in keeping with the ideals
of Jesus Christ.”
QUESTION BOX
(Continued From Page 4)
might be a generally less hazar
dous method than currently em
ployed.”
AS TO WHETHER or not
there is statistical evidence for
the allegation that the profes
sional ring game as it is today
is immoral because of the per
manent injuries and deaths sus
tained by boxers, the answer is
that there is such evidence, and
it is extremely impressive.
DR. LAFORET’S ARTICLE
(referred to above) cites sever
al substantiating surveys. One
study of 43 ring fatalities, for
example, showed that at least
24 were due to cranio-cerebral
damage, and two injuries to
the cervical spine and underly
ing cord. Moreover, in what is
now regarded as a classical
exposition of the subject, Dr.
E. J. Carroll pointed out in the
May, 1936, American Journal Of
Medical Science that five per
cent of boxers who stay at the
game for only half a decade
begin to manifest symptoms of
the “punch drunk” syndrome,
and that 60 per cent eventually
develop nerve or emotional dis
abilities. It was Dr. Carroll
who argued that * ‘no head blow
is taken with impunity” and that
“each knockout causes definite
and irreparable damage.”
COMPARE this statement to
that attributed to ten ranking
neurosurgeons and quoted by
Father Richard A. McCormick
in the November 5,1962, Sports
Illustrated: “The brain is so
constructed that it cannot
sustain a series of head blows
over the years without certainly
or at least very probably in
curring thereby some perma
nent brain injury.”
There are other telling sta
tistics for eye damage, facial
injuries, and internal lesions.
THE MEDICAL DATA serves
to confirm the judgment many
moralists have made against
the “sport” on the basis of its
very nature. For the primary
object of the ring business as it
is practiced today is to achieve
a win by directly inflicting phy
sical injury on an opponent: to
render him unconscious, or
failing this, literally to beat him
into helplessness.
AS FATHER Francis J. Con
nell wrote more than ten years
ago, when the moral dimension
of professional prizefighting
was first becoming an important
issue: “It is difficult to recon
cile prizefighting, as we have it
today, with Catholic principles
of morality. For, undoubtedly,
the purpose of the fighters is to
deal each other severe blows,
and if possible to score a knock
out.” And in Father McCor
mick’s opinion: “Unless the ar
guments leveled at professional
boxing as it is known today can
be answered, I believe the sport
would have to be labeled im
moral.”

India. The Sisters of Mary Immaculate of SHERTALLAY,
Green Gardens, care for them devotedly . . But poverty pre
vents many things, a chapel of their own, for example. Can you
help us gather the $3,000 needed? Your special HOLY WEEK
sacrifice can make new friends for Christ!

Atlanta Visitors
See Pope
VATICAN CITY, (Radio, NC)
—His Holiness Pope John XXIII
told members of the Atlanta,
Ga., Chamber of Commerce that
he receives visitors from all
over the world and that he is
sorry he cannot return their
visits.
Pope John received the Geor
gians (March 30) at a special
audience in the Vatican’s
Throne Room along with dele
gates at the annual convention
of the International Federation
for Social Tourism.
FROM THE GARDEN STATE, Barbara writes:
“Dear Monsignor: I am interested in adopt
ing a seminarian. I cannot afford to pay the
$600 at once but will be able to space it over
two years, paying $20 a month ... I am 17,
just graduated from high school. I have a
steady permanent job.”
You can adopt a seminarian for $100 a
year, Barbara. To adopt a sister, $150 a
year for two years is needed. But it takes six years to train a
priest. We have names of many seminarians and novices:
JOSEPH KEELATH and GEORGE PUTHUMANA of Manga
lore, India . . . SISTER IVA and SISTER EUPHRASIA of the
Sisters of St. Catherine of Sienna in IRAQ. You may write to
them through our office!
YOUR EASTER BONNET—
may have many ribbons on it, but a STRINGLESS GIFT to us
will speed help where it’s most needed!
THE ANCIENTS COPIED NATURE. Egyptians decorated
their pillars with lotus blossoms; the Greeks favored acanthus
leaves . . . Solomon’s temple featured strings of pomegranates
and his crown was patterned after the blossom of this fruit . . .
Christ spoke in parables of the “lilies of the field - ’ . . . For
those sending in a donation for the missions, we’ll mail a card
of PRESSED FLOWERS from the Holy Land if requested . . .
If you wish to make your gift in another’s name, we’ll send that
person a lovely EASTER GIFT CARD.
