But ev•·n in the teaching or religion today in collt>ge, not everything Is sacr11- sanct and intact."

The well-known educator indicated that he is irritated when a frequently asked question is put to tum by a prospective student, "Do I have to take religion at the Catholic col- lege?" This question. he declared, shows that the student shows hb lack of appreciation of his faith and shows a de£inite need for more stu- dy of religion. "In the Catholic college and university, the student has a chance to examine religion closely and to bring a mature look at it," he said. Father Eagen stressed that the "loss or lailh or catholics in secular col11•ges is the result ol too much free education. There are ~o many challeng s lo our faith today and this emphasi,es the greater need for a Catho- lil' education." He said that students in Catholic colleges are not living in isolated communities and (Turn to Page 4) soclated Alumnal' of the Sacrtd Heart. Pho• nlng ror the event took several months. Parents or the interested junior and senior students also were present during the day. Following the keynote and financial talks, the students were directed to various classrooms to hear representatives from the colleges and universities. At the College Day, Rev. J. F. Gubbins. S.J., director of admissions !or Gonz • ea t:nivcrsity at Spokane, Wash., explained that thf' Education Act of 1965, federal scholar- ships, work-btudy programs and government loans will provide United States funds to C.:atholic colleges. Father Gubbins felt that Catholic and pri- vate schools would reap a greater benefit from the government money because of the paucity of such help in the past. The priest Pducator a()vlsed that Catholic school enrollment has managed to keep even · with the increase or students at slate univer- sities. This increase of students also means a problem 0£ more buildings needed adn a scarcity or teachers, he Insisted. To keep up with the competition from state universities in hirine top professors, Catholic universities depend on private dona- tions to raise teacher salaries, Father Gub- bins noted. He also stressed that private school costs tend to raise student tuitions. He cited an example from his own Gonzaga University where the tuition only handles 67 per cent of what is required to educate each student. The Jesuit priest also declared that anti- Vietnam demonstrations similar to those re• cently voiced .are few if any at Catholic universities. This, he attributed to the in• fluence of religion, discipline and a closer bond between faculty and student. Smaller campuses also help the situation, Father Gubbins said. The All-Phoenix Catholic College Day, ac- cording to Mother Collette is expected to be• come an annual event, with however, differ- ent groups sponsoring the program.

The purpose of the program, which at- tracted representatives from 50 colleges and universities, was to acquaint the high school juniors and seniors \\Ith the various schools.

(Continued From Page 1) that Catholics must not permit "our critics to say we lh e in a ghetto or education." Catho- lic youth too, be said, must live in a world as it is and therefore use their Catholicism. Th· , he noted, is a good thing. "Higher education never isolates the students," Father Eagen said. "The astro- nauts who walk in space don't do this without the proper equipment and so the Catholic student must be properly equipped to cope with the world. He must be academically and spiritually educated " Father Eai:en asked all to achieve the goal' of Cathollc education. "To this all or us must bend our energies and lift up our hearts," he said. Another speaker, Mr. H. John Cashin, director of student relations of Loyola University or Los Angeles, outlined for the audience the financing of a Catholic educa- tion In a college or university. He explained the financial problems of the institutions and told how tuition, taxation and endowments fi- gure mto the entire picture. He also warned about colleges who charge much higher rates. ''It isn't always true that better things cost more,'' he warned, "and some thorough investigation should be made." Mr. Cashin touched on the purpose and methods of obtaining scholarships for students. Oniinator of tile idea for the Catholic Col- lege Day was Mother Collette, I.B.V.M., girls vice principal at Bourgade Hieh School. She was also honorary chairman for the day's program.

Woolpert, one of the lead- ing exponents of defensive basketball as attested to by his outstanding seasons with the University of San Francis- co from 1950 through 1959, will rely on a stout defense this season. Offensively, the Toreros will rely on the shooting ability of third year man Ashford who averaged 19.7 points a game last season. Other team members in- clude returnees Bill Ferree, 6-0.
