WOMEN AND THE VOTE
In the Presidential election of 1968, 73
million Americans or approximately 60%
of the total population of voting age
actually voted; while 47 million or about
40% did not cast a ballot. Women make
up b'6% of the American population so
this means approximately 26 million
women did not vote.
This w r ould be hard for the mothers
and grandmothers of these non-voting
women to understand - the women who
fought so hard and earnestly to gain this
right in America through an Amendment
to the federal constitution in 1920;
citizens who up until then had been given
the same political classification as
children and idiots.
In the Spring of 1972 Congress passed
and the President signed the Equal Rights
Amendment stating that no citizen can be
discriminated against because of sex. It
has been ratified by 20 of the 38 states
necessary for its enactment into law. It is
up to the women of Georgia to persuade
our legislators to vote for its ratification
when they meet in January. It took them
until 1970 (50 years later) to ratify the
womens right-to-vote Amendment.
Study the issues and candidates ahead
of time. Plan your schedule on Tuesday,
November 7th so you can go to your
voting place between 7 A.M. and 7 P.M.
Write your choices on a piece of paper to
take in the voting booth. It is a long
ballot. And invite a neighbor, relative or
friend to ride to the polls with you.
If you need advice on where to vote,
contact the Voters Registrar’s office in
your county or the League of Women
Voters, listed in your phone book.
Absentee ballots can be voted through
November 6th.
Let’s not let our “sisters” of the early
1900’s down, who worked so hard to get
what Thomas Paine called “the primary
right by which other rights are
protected.”

College Seminary Education
WAYLAND BROWN
Two weeks ago we mentioned that it is
fairly hard to make accurate
generalizations about college programs
for seminarians, and today, in seeming
contradiction, we shall try.
Then it is a place where they learn
everyone’s need for God. Finally it is a
place where they learn how to share
God’s blessings: to receive their share and
to share with others.

The first point which all seminaries
ought to share was very nicely put forth in
Father William Dowling’s D.C.C.W. Notes
Column in th° Southern Cross (October
19), and, with his permission, I am going
to paraphrase what he said: A seminary is
a place wnere young men meet people
who need them and whom they need.

Annual Memorial Service
In a very real sense Father Dowing has
captured the catholicity of the seminaries
in those thoughts. They are training
grounds as well, emphasizing skills and
providing opportunities for young men to
develop in a life of service. They provide
opportunities for group and individual
prayer, community celebrations and
smaller group celebrations of the
Eucharist, and personal spiritual growth
under the direction of the faculty.
While seminaries may differ in their
vision of these tasks and in the manner in
which they set out to accomplish them,
they share these Catholic, Christian
concerns.
The academic programs are not to be
overlooked, for they form the core of the
development of the student. Course work
is varied; however, every program
includes an emphasis on the liberal arts,
especially philosophy. At Catholic
University, which accepts only honors
students in its college program, courses in
speech and rhetoric are also mandatory,
and each student spends a fifth year
obtaining a Master of Arts Degree in
Philosophy. At other colleges, one may
Choose not to major in philosophy but in
history, english literature, classics, or a
smiliar subject.
Some students live apart from
seminaries and study at what are called
“secular” colleges. The Diocese of
Savannah sponsors Chris Schreck in his
fourth year at William and Mary College
in Williamsburg, Virginia. Chris lives in a
rectory where he receives spiritual
guidance and pastoral experience. He has
agreed to furnish an account of his years
in Williamsburg for a later column.
Douglas Clark, a graduate of William and
Mary, is now studying Theology at North
American College in the Vatican.
The Diocese of Savannah has ten
seminarians in college this year: five at St.
Meinrad Seminary in Indiana and four at
Immaculate Conception in Missouri in
addition to Chris at William and Mary.
Each school in its particular way responds
to the needs of each student and to those
of our diocese in tailoring the student’s
program.
