Ong Probes Course
Of Catholic Beliefs
i
By ROSALIE BAINE
"No new revelation of truths
has been given to the Catholic
Church since the death of the
last apostle," Prof. Walter Ong
of St. Louis University said yes-
terday.
In a lecture on "Catholicism,
Past and Present," sponsored by
the Office of Religious Affairs,
Prof. Ong asserted that "the
church is gradually unfolding the
revelation originally given to it,"
but that it does not teach any
new doctrine.
He pointed out that Catholics
recognize two sources of their be-
liefs-scripture and tradition. The
former consists of both the Old
and New Testaments of the Bible.
Prof. Ong defined the latter as
"the voice of Christ speaking
through the ages, not a second
book of the Bible which the Cath-
olics have but won't let the Prot-
estants read."
Important Customs
Many important Christian cus-
toms, such as going to church on.
Sunday instead of Saturday, the
Sabbath, are attributed to tradi-
tion, he said.
Institutions of the church were
established either by Christ and
the apostles or by the church
through the ages. However, those
set up by the church have some
basis in the Bible, he added.
Postpone Date
Of Dedication
Prof. James T. Wilson, acting
director of the Institute of Science
and Technology, announced yes-
terday that the dedication of the
new IST Bldg. on North Campus
will not take place until "some-
time next spring."
The dedication, which had been
scheduled for this fall, will be held
up, Prof. Wilson noted, until the
biophysics laboratory is completed.
The lab is scheduled to be finish-
ed shortly after December.
PROF. WALTER ONG
...Catholicism
To prove this, Prof. Ong used
the example of the papacy. The
powers of the Pope were given to
Peter by Christ when he said,
"You are Peter, and upon this
rock I will build my church," in-
dicating that the church was to
have a head, Prof. Ong said.
Private Revelations
In regard to private revelations
of God, such as those claimed by
Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes,
Prof. Ong pointed out that no
Catholic is required to believe in
these. The church says only that
the ideas promulgated at places
such as Lourdes are not harmful
to the faith of any Catholic.
This does not mean that the
church asserts the truth of such
apparitions, he said.
Prof. Ong opposed the idea of
"primative Christianity corrupt-
ed by the church." He pointed out
that in St. Paul's letters to the
early Christians he often admon-
ished them for their faults. The
Middle Ages were not so com-
pletely Catholic as is generally be-
lieved, while the Renaissance saw
many improvements in the Cath-
olic Church.C
SGC Board
To Request
Job Survey
By NANCY FOX
The Human Relations Board of
Student Government Council plans
to submit a request soon to Vice-
President for Business and Fi-
nance Wilbur K. Pierpont, asking
that a comprehensive study be
made of the University employ-
ment structure in an attempt to
remove structural barriers to the
employment of minority group
members.
The proposed study would cover
all areas of University employ-
ment including recruitment pro-
cedures, on-the-job training pro-
grams, placement and opportunity
for advancement.
According to Human Relations
Board Chairman David C. Aroner,I
'64, such a study "would be con-.
sistent with other programs of thef
University in its recent effort to
fulfill its responsibilities to mi-
nority groups."
Passive Discrimination
The board feels that there is
discrimination of a passive nature
on the lower levels of the em-
ployment structure and that prej-
udice sometimes hinders place-
ment and promotion according to
merit, he said.
Realizing, however, that an in-
stitution which employs over 10,-
000 people often unconsciously
gives rise to some discrimination
on a personal level, the board is
confident that their proposal will
be considered carefully and acted
upon in the best interests of the
University and its employes, Aron-
er added.
Another future project is to in-
vestigate the possibility of initiat-
ing a policy to prevent the Uni-
versity from entering contracts
with building trade unions which
discriminate in their apprentice-
ship or admission policies, he said.
Union Labor
Aroner suggested that union la-
bor from another county be em-
ployed if local unions do not fit
the new specifications.
Aroner noted that recently the
board has rot heard much about
discrimination from students and
suggested that they avail them-
selves of the services of the board
in such cases.
UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF:
Odiorne Surveys Local Labor
By ROBERT CUMMINGS
Prof. George S. Odiorne, director
of the Bureau of Industrial Re-
lations at the University, has re-
cently completed the second phase
of a study of Washtenaw County's
manpower.
The conclusions he has arrived
at cause him to question the wis-
dom of the federal government's
policy for relieving unemployment,
he revealed in an interview Satur-
day.
Prof. Odiorne felt that the fed-
eral government is cancelling any
hopes of improving the unemploy-
ment situation when it advocates
a tax credit to industry for ex-
panding investment while imple-
menting its Manpower Develop-
ment and Retraining Act.
Capital Gains
He noted that industry uses
the capital gains from tax credit
for automation, thus eliminating
many of the jobs that the man-
power act is training workers for.
A second criticism of federal
policy was directly derived from
Prof. Odiorne's study. "President
John F. Kennedy, Walter Heller,
his chief economic adviser, and
the tax cut people are saying if
we cut taxes we'll eliminate un-
employment," he said.
"This may relieve cyclical un-
employment but local studies show
that cyclical unemployment is not
the most significant form."
Most Comprehensive
Prof. Odiorne, noting that the
study he . has supervised is the
most comprehensive local study he
is aware of in the country, found
that "hard core unemployment is
the crucial problem in America's
affluent society."
The hard unemployed are not
those that are affected by the

signs for local and corporation re-
training programs, as well as adult
education programs. Prof. Odiorne
said his basic assumption is that
the hard core problem of America's!
affluent society demands local
solutions as opposed to the broad
fiscal measures which Kennedy's
Council of Economic Advisers and
Congress are focusing on.
j He added that this assumption
is based on his observation that
local corporations and businesses
'first look to their own employes
and the local labor force to fill
newly created jobs, and only if the
local supply is insufficient, do em-
ployers recruit from outside.
Predicted Trends
Apart from his findings on the
present unemployment situation,
Prof. Odiorne also predicted fu-'I
ture occupational trends and pre-

Ann Arbor has 450 hard core un-
employed registered at the unem-
ployment agency with probably, at
least half as many more who have
not reported their status, he said.a
Not Victims3
The evidence that these workers1
are not victims of forces broader
than their personal inadequacies
is conclusive as Ann Arbor is an
over-employed city, and Washte-+
naw County is one of the two af-
fluent counties of the state. "There
are even unskilled jobs in the city
for these people if they couldl
meet the requirements," he ob-
served.
The problem is not limited to
Ann Arbor. Prof. Odiorne men-
tioned that Prof. W. Allen of the
business administration school and1
Dean William Haber of the liter-
ary college had jointly found'
about 30,000 hard core unemployed
in the 16-21 year old age bracket
in Detroit.
The New York Times recently
estimated that there were 200,000x
in this category in New York City.
These' people will not be affected
by the proposed tax cut if it is
enacted, as they are incapable of
filling the new jobs that will be
created, Prof. Odiorne said.
Investigation
In order to investigate the spe-
cific conditions of the hard core
unemployed, Prof. Odiorne said
that he was requesting a grant
from Gov. George Romney's Eco-
nomic Development and Research
Fund. He felt the expected find-
ings would suggest specific de-
