Speaking of the bishops' at- titude on Selective Service, Bishop Quinn pointed out that, "As the law at present allows a form of conscientious objec- tion, the bishops consider this might be examined with a view to incorporating some method of making similar al- lowances for those who sup- port a particular type of war, but conscientiously object to other types.

One of six coauthors of a pastoral letter released on be- half of 200 American Catholic bishops who met Nov. 11-15 in Washington, D.

Art Exhibit Set at USD Original etchings, woodcuts and other graphic works by famous artists will be exhibit- ed al the University of San Diego from December 2 to 15. The annual print show will include graphic works of artists representative of peri- ods ranging from the middle ages to contemporary. Dr. Lee F.

"The exhibition - which is also a useful place to obtain Christmas gifts - will range from the traditional realistic to the very abstract," he said. This is the fourth annual ex- hibition and art sale arranged by the Cultural Affairs Com- mittee. "They are all original graphic works," said Gerlach. "There will be more than 100 on exhibition." The display will be held m the Knights of Columbus Li- brary on the USD campus dur- ing normal library hours, which are 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and to 5 p.m. Friday.

What started' as a very tentative approach to modernity in church music b now sweeping the San Diego diocese. Guitars are "in" and organs are heard less. Typical modern music is heard each Sunday as the seminar- ians of the University of San Diego sip.g at the 11 o'clock Sunday Mass in the Immaculata chap I on the campus. Their guitars, vibraphone and tambourines mark the new rhythms and mood of featured. "This is one of the most perfect word forms to set to music," he said. He adapted the Jerusalem Bible transla- tion for his setting. Even the older churchgoers, long steeped in traditional

University of San Diego, said they accepted "the need for unification without equivoca- tion." They announced that special committees will be formed" to work towards creat- ing the structure of a unified university." Representing the adminis- trations were Sister Nancy Morris, president of the Col- lege for Women: Very Rev. John E. Baer, president of the College for Men, and Joseph A. Sindil1co, Jr., dean of the School of Law. "It is the unanimous agree- ment ])etween the administra- tions that unification in some form i,; the ultimate destiny of the schools," said the state- ment. "All who have the true interest of the campus at heart aTe urged to work in a spirit of cooperation and goodwi II towards the goal of unification, even 1f at this moment in time the specific form cannot be exactly defined." "Unification is a fact, par- ticularly in the light of the professional advice which has been sought," said the admin- istrators. "The best form may yet arise from the results of the deliberations of the cam- pus committees to be set up." Calling for a unified spirit, the statement cone I uded, "Let us proceed forward together in this spirit with the deter- mination to find the most worthwhile and effective form of unification without destroy- ing the inherent special quali- ties and unique pattern of the integral parts of the uinver- sity." Initial steps towards unifica - tion of USD came in January this year when a professional study was agreed upon to find the best form. Since then va- rious aspects of campus activity and administration have been gradually combined In the spring semester cer

lain courses were coordinated between the College for Worn en and the College for Men and an identical academic cal endar was adopted. The first provost to adminis- ter the entire university came in April when Most Rev. John A. Qumn, Auxiliary Bishop, was appointed. Complete unification of catering, bookstore, recruit ment. security and registration services has been achieved, and joint meetings have been held for the first time of fac- ulty and of student bodies. In the fall semester almost complete coordination and co education of course was provided between th two undergraduate schools result- ing in more than 500 studc ls taking reciprocal or jomt courses, involving more than 1,600 credit hours. The setting up of a univ~r- sity advisory board and the appointment of the first lay members of the Board of Trus- tees of the College for Men have been other landmarks in the current yea,r of progress towards the goal of unifica- tion. The first fulltime devel- opment and public relations office was established in Se tember

liturgical chants. The young voices blend with the old in ·new beats to ancient chants. It is a scene repeated in many churches today. Join Congreg11tion These students in their first years of college have their own daily Mass in their chapel. But every Sunday at 11 a.m. they join the wider congregetion of university students and gen- eral public who fill the blue- domed chapel in the center of the USD campus. Choir director Nick Reveles, whose. vigorous conducting and enthusiastic encourage- ment bring considerable con- gregation participation, is a seminarian - but also an accomplished composer of "new" church music. "The new music is designed to be simple and singable," he said yesterday. "It is writ- ten so that the accent is not so much on the music but on the words and their meaning. Some of the older forms of music almost got away from the inspiration of'the words." Compositions Published Reveles, who at 20 has had several compositions pub- lished, and whose piano per- formances place him among the most interesting young concert performers of today, finds Old Testament psalms his greatest inspiration for modern church music. "This music leads us almost naturally back to the psalms," he said. "The beautiful words of those Old Testament verses inspire great musical settings. And they lend themselves par- ticularly t.o simple instru- mental accompaniment like the guitar." ln Reveles' setting for Psalm 123, "You have lifted up my eyes," the guitar simply plays two notes, alternately plucked. It is stridently simple. When the new USD Ecu- menical Center was dedicated recently Reveles' simple mod- ern selling for Psalm 23, "The Lord is my shepherd," was S T'!f:f!r~~s ( Qe~r: Cl eason Piny The University of San Diego Toreros will open season play Saturday night against Long Beach State College in Long Beach.

"At the 11 a.m. Mass on Sundays we get a very good response from t he public - they even outdo stu- dents. I would like to see more students taking part." Composer at 9 Reveles, who combines a seminarian's duties with majoring in mu ic, has been composing for 11 years and playing piano for 15 of his 20 years. Every evening he plays the organ for Mass in the chap- el used by the seminarians. And he steps down from the organ to conduct the guitars and choir. Fellow seminarian Rick Heitzig arran~es some of the new compositions for 1 ',e guitar.
