us Members of the "mini Peace Corps" at the University of San Diego pl an to spend their Easter vacation buil di ng two expansion classrooms at San Martin de Porres school in a poverty-stricken area of the eastern part of Tijuana. . Teaching needy children at the school is one of the corps' regular projects. Every Saturday from 10 to 20 USO students cross the border to teach at the school.

Accompan ying them each week is Sister Irene Lawrence, head of the sociology depart- ment at the USD College for Women. She is in charge of this tutoring program which keeps the rickety two-room school open only on weekends. It is padlocked after the students leave and the key turned over to a parish priest. • Nun Starts Corps The corps volunleers form the Commun ity Development Program at USD started last sum by Sister Lawrence. The l\l xican project is one of five in which the students are cur ntly engaged, The others make up volunteer services to needy and disad- vantaged people of San Diego. These programs are teaching deaf children, tutoring other youngsters from welfare families, and being " big brothers" or 'big sisters" to youths. The community program has about 70students from both the USD College for Men and College for Women. Coordinator of the total program is Charles Smith, 24, who is taking ad- ditional courses after being graduated from USO last June. Trying to Expand He says, "We are trying to expand the program - get more of the student body in- volved in it." He explains that one method will be to conduct a · series of informal campus dialogues where "everyone can discuss the social problems in the community." Smith adds, "The Community Development Program · good now, but it could be better." The volunteers who serve as "big" brothers or sisters work with children attending St. Jude's Academy, located in Southeast San Diego. Camilla Beckett, 20, a big sister, explains that '•it 1s all very informal. We may drop over when their school lets out and just talk about things. A big sister may take her little sister to the movies or sightseeing. We may call them on the phone and they may call us when they want. We even write to each Jther ." Sister .Lawrence has been more deeply concerned with the Tijuana school program than with the other projects. Between Saturdays, when time permits, she helps students learn Spanish so that they can do a better job on weekends . And then comes Saturday and the students again open up the school and teach not only the children but any San Marlin de Porres adult who strolls into the classroom fo listen.

Children today are bombarded by a plurality of traditions, and patterns and conventions once considered set by God a re now viewed as human accomplishments, she said. "Man is now able to tran- scend social ancl institutional determinisms." One who merely accepts the order he finds without trying to improve it, Sister M rris said, would be judged a betrayer of his personhood. "The scope of personal responsibility has thus been broadened immeasurably. A truly responsible person, therefore, tries to change the status quo rather than conform to it. " of Responsibility Sister Morris sees the seeking of "themselves" by the youth of today as a sign of this respon- sibility. "This new sense of responsibility has heightened their feeling of loneliness and isolation. Hence, their constant talk about their need of other people, of broadening their experience and achieving s'ome kind of community. It is at this point that they will begin to see the need for authority." She added, " Out of this conflict between individual freedom and legitimate authority has come the term 'shared responsibility' or 'cooperative interaction.' "The obedient man is the one who cooperates with authority in the sense that he makes its aims his own and respects authority as a necessary means for the attainment of those aims.

Amid the clamor of dissent, the issue of personal freedom and conscience and its conflict with legitimate authority can be -heard, said the president of the University of San Diego's College for Women here Saturday.
