• Diocese Gains In Enrollment Of Seminarians Father Michael Alcaraz, rector of St. Francis Seminary, announced last week that "in the face of a nationwide decline in priestly vocations, the Diocese of San Dieg~ continues to be blessed with an adequate number of men trarnrng to serve m the priesthood" While final figures are not yet available, he said, minary enrollment "has increased again this year." ~ . 1/ 3/,~,

said, the seminary has three students from the Diocese or Saginaw, Mich., and one from the Diocese of Lafayette, La. "A marvelous example of the student's dedication to learn- ing," he observed, "is the fact that members of the whole senior class of this past year have continued their studies throughout the summer in various master's programs, thereby increasing their usefulness to the diocese in the future." Bishops' Guidelines that "the new system of seminary formation is based upon the guidelines issued by the Catholic Bishops of the United States. A general revision of the traditional seminary training was implemented to equip better the aspirant to meet the changing problems of today's ministry. "A trained psychologist Dr. Gerald Sperrazzo, is on ffie seminary staff to direct the counselling program and fur- nish professional advice when needed." Study for Degree Seminarians attend regular classes also at the Universii) of San Diego College for en where they receive a bachelor's degree after four years before going to the senior seminary - St. Patrick's in Menlo Park. Fa lher Alcaraz said the personal counselling program started last year "has proved so successful that the program will be expanded this fall." Father John Portman. chairman of the Diocesan Ecumenical Com- mission, is being added lo the seminary staff In conjunction with the academic program, the rector added, a varied schedule of apostolic activities is offered to the seminarians. These include visits to hospitals, reformatories and homes for the aged. This on- the-job training gives the future priest practical experience in the pastoral ministry. 1''ather Alcaraz noted the phenomenon resi- dents of almost any other city in the nation, excepting Los Angeles, as the path of the eclipse parallels roughly the West Coast of the United States. Comparison Made In Flagstaff, Ariz., for ex- ample, the eclipse will cover only 57 per cent of the sun; in Seattle, only 48 per cent; in Houston, just 35 per cent; in Chicago, only 7.8 per cent; and in Maine, no one will see ..._ the effects. Almost all astronomers and eye doctors are unanimous in stressing and restressing the point-do not look directly at the sun - not with exposed film, smoked glass, welder's eye shades or even sun filters that are prl>vided with st small telescopes. Technique Described The potential damage to the retina of the eye, that area of receptors at the back of the eye ball, is too great for such a risk, they said.

Father Alcaraz gave credit for the enrollment rise to "the example of our parish priests who inspire young men ,to enter a hfe dedicated to God, the pre- seminary program and the various youth activities such as the Search program."

This simply involves using a heated pin to burn a hole in one piece of cardboard and 'then using that hole to focus the sun's image on a second piece of cardboard. Do not look through the pinhole at the sun (that might seem like ex- traneous a ice, but people have tried t with tragic re- sults ).
