Describes
'Humanism'
Encyclical
By ANNE SCHULTZ
"Christian social humanism" is
the essential theme of the papal
encyclical, a document entitled
"Mater et Magister," Rt. Rev.
Msgr. George G. Higgins said Fri-
day night in the first of a series
called "Catholic Voices" currently
being presented by the Newman
Club.
"By American standards the en-
cyclical's treatment of the role of
government in econonic life is de-
cidedly on the 'liberal' side, much
to the poorly concealed chagrin of
at least a handful of Catholic
publications and the obvious dis-
pleasure of 'The National Review'."
Direct Activity '
But, Msgr. Higgins maintained,
that Pope John XXIII did not
imply that government should re-
place individual initiative, but
should "direct, stimulate, coor-
dinate, supplement and integrate"
individual activity for the common
good.
The encyclical considers, Msgr.
Higgins said, the universal scope
of human relations by dealing with
relations between 1) workers and
employees; 2) differentsectors of
the national economy, such as
industry and agriculture; 3) lesser
and more highly developed areas
within the country; and 4) lesser
and more highly developed areas
In the world.
Unions Indispensable
Msgr. Higgins said that Pope
John's interpretation of labor un-
ions is that they are "absolutely
indispensable and that the scope
of their activities should, if any-
thing, be expanded." The Pope
sees them as an opportunity for
man to maintain and develop his
own responsibilities and dignity.
Pope John also cites a need for
organization of rural workers,
Msgr. Higgins said.
Raise Standards
Efforts should be made to raise
the standards in depressed areas
-both within the nation and in
other countries.
Next to atomic welfare, "Mater
et Magistra" states that the prob-
lem of emergent nations is prob-
ably the worst one in. the world
today, Msgr. Higgins said.
"In any event, the important
thing is not to discuss the en-
cyclical theoretically but to try
to discern its practical meaning
and to look for )opportunities to
apply its principles to contem-
porary problems," Msgr. Higgins
concluded.

By MYRNA ALPERT
A program to inform women
students of the problem of obtain-
ing peace in the world today, to
be given in individual houses is
now being planned by the League's
ad hoc Peace Study Committee,
Carol Brandner, '64, a member of
the group said.
Speaking for the committee, she
said that its purpose is "to educate
the students concerning the prob-
lems of the nuclear age and peace
through lectures and discussion
groups."
Arrange Discussions
If a dormitory or sorority house
desires to have a lecture, panel'
discussion, or debate on this sub-
ject, then the committee will make
the arrangements for a speaker to
come and if the house has not
requested a specific topic, it will
decide upon that too.
The speakers will be recruited
from faculty members who have a
special interest or knowledge in a
pertinent subject. Also, the Uni-
versity Peace Center will supply
the Peace Study Committee with
written material on peace, and in-
formation about peace programs
that have been started at other
schools.
The first program was held on
Feb. 25 at Victor Vaughan Dormi-
tory. Professor Cohen of the phi-
losophy department spoke from
the point of view of a Marxist,
offering his ideas about what
Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush-
chev meant when he said that he
would "bury" us.
