Student路 Needs Demand Wider Ministry Make Distinction Between Protesters and Radicals WASHINGTON (NC) - "T!\e legitimate campus protester" is a student of a different breed from the small number of "hard core radicals" who participated in campus demonstrations this Spring, FBI officials said .here. FBI spokesmen claim the distinction between the two is pointed up by intelligence reports noting that less than half of one per cent of all U. S. college students are adherents of subversive organizations seeking to advance international communism or the revo'lutionary overthrow of the government. "We must be careful of our facts and not indiscriminately label those whom we do not personally like or whose opinions are unpopular as extremists," FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said in a recent discussion of extremist groups. "We must remember that many moderate students also are protesting about key issues of the day. We should not label these legitimate protests as extremism and therefore dismiss them from consideration." He cautioned against countering extremism with extremism saying:
"One of the dangers of extremism 011 campuses is that it will engender anti-democratic vigilante and illegal actions against this minority. These extremists cill1 and must be handled under due process of the law." . Here is the FBI's appraisal of main groups of campus extremists: . Weathermen-"Extremely ac-' tivist and violence prone" offshoot of'Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), with about 500 to 1,000 adherents, most of whom live in New York, California, Illinois, Ohio and Washington state communes. Although active in college demonstrations, few are enrolled in school. Their average age is between 25 and 30. Revolutionary Youth Movement - another SDS offshoot, but less inclined to violence. Has fewer than 600 members with national headquarters in Atlanta. The Worker-Student Alliance -largest of the SDS splinter groups with well over 800 members in more than 50 chapters.

Sllcred Hearts Semina.ria.ns Spend Summ,er In Occupations Outside the MO'nastery The police cruiser moves slowly through the busy streets of Chatham on Cape Cod. Its officers survey the crowds which are always up in any Cape community in the Summer. One of them, more popularly known as Jack, is a part-timer from Winona, Minn.; his full name is John Schoper. Few know that Jack actually is Brother John Schoper, a seminarian attached to Sacred Hearts Monastery on Adams Street in Fairhaven. Brother John is a fullyuniformed patrolman who wears full police regalia, including a revolver.
He is one of severai members of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts who have taken outside jobs as part of their training to serve the order. Seminarians like Brother John earn tuition during the Summer and go back to Sacred Hearts' houses in Washington, D. C. and Winona in the Fall. Lay brothers, on the other hand, stay at the monastery in Fairhaven after having benefitted greatly, by way of practical experience, in their outside work. Brother John Grozis of St. Charles, III., and Brother Edward Campbell of Dayton, Ohio are working as orderlies at St.

Sister Emphasizes Need Of Ministry on Campus WASHINGTON (NC) - The new assistant director of the U. S. Cathoiic Conference (USCC) campus ministry division is a nun-for a very good reason. . Sister Sheila Doherty, also director of the education for the Maryland province of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, will have the job of convincing bishops, priests and religious order superiors that more women religious are needed in the campus ministry." Though some 1,200 men are involved in the campus ministry, less than 100 religious women participate, said Sister Sheila; herself a campus chaplain at the University of North Carolina for a year. Blue-eyed Sister Sheila, who was also director of admissions at Trinity College for 14 years, thinks of her job not in terms of feminine liberation, but as' "extending the work of religious women in education." She noted there are three
times more women religious than men religious - which means a larger personnel force to draw from-and that many Sisters are highly qualified for the campu!: ministry since they are trained to be educators. Administering the sacramenls to coli."ge students is something only' a priest can do, however, so one option Sister Sheila will suggest to Church officials is a "cooperative team ministry." Under this plan, dioceses with a clergy shortage could assign a priest with regular parish duties to serve part-time on camp'us. A full-time nun campus minister could handle the bulk of administrative duties, counseling, and mingling with students at meals and meetings. The new approach to the campus ministry is broader than the campus center, Sister Sheila said. Rather than "sit there and hold the fort," she said, "you move with the students."

Explains Role of Laity In Giving Communio'n ALBANY (NC) - A pastoral letter from Bishop Edwin B. Broderick was read in all churches of the Albany diocese to allay "concern to some of our people" about a program of having men and women of the laity distribute Holy Communion. The bishop emphasized "the doctrinal essenc:e of Eucharistic belief remains uncJtanged," although a number of changes in disciplinary laws-mitigation of the Communion fast, introduction of evening Masses, reception of Communion under both species-have occured in recent years. "This departure from a tradition of over 1,000 years may cause concern to some of our people. Such an initial reaction to this new legislation may be offset by this important historical consideration: in the first centuries of Christianity, the laity handled the Eucharist and even carried' the Holy Sacrament to their homes and administered it to the sick," the bishop wrote.
For nine centuries this seemed to be the customary way to communicate the Body of the Lord. In later centuries, when gr~ater emphasis was placed on the divinity of Christ and His real presence in the Eucharist, the distribution was entrusted exclusively to ordained ministers," he continued. "The present change in the disciplinary law and return to ancient usage shows forth clearly the dignity of the baptized Christian, consecrated and made holy by his incorporation into Christ," the bishop said. Bishop Broderick said he received a three-year permission from the Holy See, allowing men and women of the laity to distribute Communion in parishes where the service is needed and when it will expedite the celebration of Mass. He emphasized the men and women will be selected by him, will be "persons of excellent character" and will be commissioned as "Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion."
