Peace Or 'Pederyshka'?

By MOLLY GORMAN

Is the hope of peaceful co-existence a reasonable goal for Russian and the West or the Trojan horse precipitating a Communist victory? At this juncture of world events opinion is divided into two camps: one, the Western powers should seize every opportunity and press on for total victory; two, both powers should try to find some meeting point to ease world tension and arrange a workable agreement.

For the present, the United States seems to be intent on trying the latter plan. The question is whether the Russians are as serious about "peaceful co-existence" as we seem to be. Future historions may record that the Achillees' heel of the United States was lack of stamina, that American civilization. was not geared for a protracted struggle with a wily enemy and co-existence seemed the logical way out; too eager for peace, we were an easy mark for a superior power.

The Reverend John J. Sullivan , National Director of the Extension Lay Volunteers , explained the need for qualified lay people to serve in the Ex tension home missions and in Latin America with the Papal Volunteers.

A veteran home missioner himself, Father Sullivan is visiting many of the Catholic colleires ihrou&"hout the country in his search to fill the need for volunteer teachers, catechists, medical personnel, etc. in various parts of the southern and western United States and Latin America.

At the request of the local Bishop, Extension Lay Volunteers are assigned to those home missions where there is a real need for their services and where local personnel is not available to fill that need. Today 300 men and women from 85 dioceses are serving in 111 parishes and institutions in 14 States and Puerto Rico. Most of the are recent college volunteers and represent 126 graduates schools.

Theory Versus Practice But it may very well be that Communism is not the great monolith it once was. Perhaps the Communists cannot live their Manifesto on a practicable basis anymore than Americans can live the Declaration of Independence.

The gap between Marxist-Leninist theory and "Real-politik" may be too great to bridge. They may have realized rather late in the game that any victory achieved at the cost of nuclear war would cost much more than it was worth. Have they decided to dilute their doctrine and ach ieve a semi-victory: or is the talk of co-existence (and all the diplomatic and political feelers the Russians are extending) a ruse to ensure them of a total victory?

Lenin spoke,of peredyshka, a period of pretended peacemaking and conciliation , but actually only a respite which would enable the world Communist movement to re-gird its loins for the next battle in the total war.

If this is the Communist strategy at pr esent, we ma:v come to regret our policy of trying to establi sh a modus vivendi with the Communists. But it is no less a possibility that both sides are sincerely seeking peace.

A French political writer once wrote that ''Everything begins in 'mystique' and ends in 'politique.'" Somewhere in the middle enters reality. Russia and the West may be approaching this meeting place at last .

NotForYou?

by DYMPHNA Hail, all you college students-pr ivilege d class. By the way, what made you join th is elite?

'J'h is much you can be sure, you'll get something out of itgood job, more money, better prospects (fo r a hu sband).

Have you ever thought of using those four years of studying for a different kind of work, something with more spice?

Maybe you have thought about giving your services to a volunteer organization or lay mission society such as the Peace Corp, Lay Mission-Helpers, Extens ion's Domestic Peace Corp , Regis College Lay ,Apostolate, etc. Volun teers wor k as teachers, census taker s, catechists, nurses, Newman Club organizers, social workers, secretarial workers, and so on.

The period of time which they serve varies with each organt· zation; it may be nine months, a year, three years. During this time , the volunteers receive some or all of the following, depending on the particular association: free room and board, monthly allowance, travel expenses, insurance, medical care.

The volunteer, besides travelling and meeting people, has the opportunity of giving help where it's needed and apprecia ted. She exp eriences a high satisfaction and a degree of happiness not to be found in any other type of work.

Good idea but not for you?

You want to get a regular jobbecome a teacher or secretary, and live a conformable, secure, and comfortable life. It's everybody's goal!

Since the Senior party, Oct. 23, and the return of the veteran teachers fr om the educational battlefield, the Senior image is finally forming . That "foreign feeling" vanishes with a perky, "Hi, how are you?", from an upperclassman.
