1 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 Textbook Publisher The Southern Cross, April 6, 1963—PAGE 5 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?

Sisters Working In Savannah Diocese (First of a twelve-part series) Among the twelve commun ities of women religious cur rently working in the diocese of 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 bolic of their service to God un der the patronage of The Bless ed Virgin Mary.

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.” ginia, South Carolina, Connecti cut, California and Florida.
