are going to a more conservative church, but in many ways they aren't," he said. Only those priests who join the Catholic Church along with a congre- gation will be able to use some of their old Anglican rites. The others will take clerical jobs with Catholic Congregations where they will be using the new Roman Catholic nte, which is far more modern than the most conservative option provided in the Episcopal Church's new Book of Common Prayer. "If they have trouble with the au- thority of bishops in the Episcopal Church, wait until they have to deal with Timothy Manning in Los Ange- les," Mehedy said. Cardinal Manning is the archbishop of the Los Angeles Diocese. Episcopal bishops must make deci- sions with committees comprised of laity and clergy from the diocese. Catholic bishops may do so, but many do not, he said: "In the Episcopal parish, the ves- try has real power in a congrega- tion," Mehedy said. "Since the Second Vatican Council many Catholic par- ishes operate with councils. You can have very active councils of laymen operating Christian education for in- stance. But a new pastor can disman- tle the whole operation. It is hard to keep lay persons involved under those circumstances." Mehedy sees the situation as a tragedy in its tendency to divide "the body of Christ." "The whole Christian church is the body of Christ. This kind of maneuvering denies that. I think we should quit this kind of ecclesiastical game playing and get on with the important issues of faith in the mod- ern world," he said. . Jackie Brown, former chairwoman of fhe Women in Ministry for the Roman Catholic diocese here, said the ruling re-affirmed the church's stand against women. "It is affirming the hierarchy's and these other mens fear of women, not only as priests, bUl as partners," Brown said. "Those men can come in with their wives. but i they become widowers, they are forbidden to re- marry. What does that say about their attitude to women"? Frank Bonnike, a married Catholic pr;est and a member of CORPUS, an organization of married Catholic priests, told the National Catholic Reporter the decision would respark the debc:te over celibacy in the church. He said the decision will give Cath- olics in the parishes an opportunity to witness a married clergy. He also said he was disturbed because the church was reaching out to others, but not to its own. Monsignor John Portman, the Catholic diocese's ecumenical repre- sentative, said the case of Catholic priests who had quit to marry was quite different from that of the for- mer Episcopalians. "It is a question of commitment. The Episcopalians committed them- selves to marriage and the priest- hood. The Catholics knew their com- mitment was to the priesthood and to celibacy when they made it," he said. It is not known at this time if the decision will apply to other former Episcopal priests who have joined the Catholic church in the past, or just to this group.

interesting cross-cultural artifacts," she said. One is a porcelain arrow- head apparently made by an Indian from a shard of colonial pottery, she said. Cordy-Collins said USD archeology students will aid in the tedious tasks of measuring, weighing and examin- ing the materials and developing computer programs for analyzing them. When the processing is finished, she said, the material will be re- turned to SDSU, which owns it, for permanent storage. It will then be available to interested scientists and lay groups. The Bancroft Ranch House is a state historical site once occupied by California historian Herbert Howe Bancroft. Much of the original 80- acre tract has been covered by hous- ing developments, Cordy-Collins said, although excavations continue on county-owned land adjacent to the house.

"But we need to organize the mate- rial so that we can look at patterns through time such as changes in pro- jectile points and what that might say about changes in game the peo· pie were hunting," she said. She said most of the material comes from the Kumyaay Indian cul- 1 ture, which was occupying San Diego at the time of the Spanish and Euro- pean conquests. Some material that does not look like Kumyaay could be from the earlier La Jollan culture, she said.

The recent announcement by American Roman Catholic bishops that a group of married Episcopal priests will be admitted to the Roman Catholic priesthood has sparked fears of a setback in ecu- menical relations between the churches and sharpened debate over the celibacy of the priestlrood in the Catholic Church. Archbishop John R. Quinn of San Francisco, president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, said the move was a pastoral response to the needs of a particular group and in no way intended to impede prog- ress in theological talks between Catholics and Episcopalians. The 1,000 lay individuals and 70 clergy, former Episcopalians who are now members of the Pro-Diocese of St. Augusitine of Canterbury, left the Episcopal Church following its decision to ordain women and to adopt a new Prayer Book. Most of the members are in Los Angeles. Brother William Bilton, a former Episcopalian and a convert to the Catholic Church, said in his opinion tl:e ruling accepting the married priests was a mistake. "I am in the position of knowmg both sides in this question. These are people who want to continue using a rite their former church has discard- ed. It would be the same kind of mis- take if the Episcopal Church would accept a group who wanted to hold to the Tridentine Latin Mass," said Bil- ton who is now a member of a Catho- lic religious order and a reporter for the Southern Cross, the diocesan newspaper. Comments from leading ecumen- ists in the two churches are being delayed until after a meeting Mon- day of the International Anglican- Roman Catholic Commission in Ven- ice. The Ecumencial Office of the Epis- copal Diocese of San Diego said that while it is grateful for any effort that

Gordy-Collins, assistant professor of anthropology at USO, and Dr. Stephen Colston of USD's History Research Center will su- pervise the years-long task of pro- cessing and analyzing the 80 cubic feet of boxed materials. " The artifacts have been numbered and cataloged, and we have the field notes of those who dug them," Cordy-Collins said. That has included over the years teams from Mesa and Southwestern Colleges and San Diego State University. A UCSD extension class led by Cordy-Collins is excavating at the site now.

seeks to heal the wounds between es- tranged Christians, they have two concerns about Quinn's statement. "We question the use of the term "Anglican," one criterion of 'Angli- cans' is to be in communion with the See of Canterbury," the diocesan statement said. "In all honesty and charity they (the priests) are proper- ly referred to as former Anglicans." The statement also expressed con- cern lest the direction taken in the decision to re-ordain the former Episcopal priests be interpreted as a moving away from the goal of organ- ic union and a re-emphasis on a poli- cy of individual c version. The Rev. William Menedy, an Episcopal priest connected with St. David's Church, is also in a position to view the situation from many sides. Mehedy was a member of a Roman Catholic order for 18 years and a Catholic priest for 11 years. He is now married and fo1 four years has served as a worker-priest for the Episcopal Church. "On the surface this seems to be a sensational liberal move, but it isn't," Mehedy said. "I know Jack Barker and William T. St. John Brown (the leaders of the Pro-Anglican group) and in fact it is the women's ordination issue and the prayer book they are concerned about. r "These people petitioned Rome to be accepted because they think they

Toreros open drills on a optimistic note

The University of San Diego Toreros football team opens drills tomorrow at Alcala Park as Coach Bill Wil- liams takes an estimated 80 players into camp. "We are really excited about our pospects for the up- coming season," Williams said. "Our offense should be improve~ .at every posi~i~n with either starters returning, or promismg recruits f1lhng in the vacant positions." Eleven of the Toreros' games will be played at home this season including the season opener on Sept. 6 against Cal-Lutheran College. All home games will be played at the USO Football Complex beginning at 7:30 p.m. "We lost six starters on d,efense" Williams said "and we will be hoping some of our re~ruits can capable fill the gaps around the strong nucleus we have returning. "As always, our special teams will be one of the strong- est aspects of our game,'' Williams added.

Atheology teacher at the Universi- ty of San Diego, Ray Ryland, was formerly an Episcopalian priest. The married man became the first per- manent deacon in the diocese as soon as it was allowed. This was the furthest in the ministry that a mar- ried man could go in the American Catholic Church until this recent rul- ing. Ryland was traveling on the East Coast this week and could not be reached for comment.
