New guidelines went into effect last week, under which applicants with a history of drug involvement can be considered if they show they have not had any contact with drugs in the past five years. Recruits hired under the guidelines may be in July's training class, said Col. Thomas Smith, state polie superintendent. "Jus because someone ha tried'this stuff us should have a second chance. After all, we let some murderers go free," he said. Smart kid gets nabbed A Concord, California teen-ager, too young to get a driver's license, was still smart enough and old enough to drive computer experts at the Unversity of California crazy. The 15 year-old youth, described both as a "whiz kid" and as a "nuisance" ias arrested at his home this week for disrupting the University's intricate cnmputer operations for months. He was booked by campus and local authorities and charged wi t gradtheft for stealing more than 2000 hours of computer time at one dollar an hour. He was also charged with felony vandalism for disrupting the computer progiams and possession of stolen property printouts mado of other people's work. The youth used second-hand equipment he bought for $60 and a telephone to plug into the university computeri program. When the director of the university computer affairs put a security warning on each computer project several weeks ago,.a message came back, saying, presumably from the boy, saying, "You've done relatively well keeping me out. Would you like some help?" ' Violence and the spread of salvation? Their slogan is Viva Cristo! Viva Marx! But can the priest who seek to turn to the Roman Catholic church into a focal point for Castro-style revolution coexist with a pope who has a deep knowledge of Marxism and its denial of humhan rights? The answer is clearly no. Pope John Paul II has made it clear in the past few days that there is no place in the church for priests and others who turn to violence and systems such as atheistic communism to spread the message of salvation. But neither is the 58-year-old pontiff likely to condemn out of hand efforts to involve the church more actively in the struggle to improve the material conditions of the poor, who made up 80 per cent of the population in Latin America. The pope's views will become apparent as he inaugurates and attends the opening sessions of the third con- ference of Latin American bishops this weekend. The Catholic revolutionaries take their cue from to so-called "theology of liberation" that teaches people must be freed from poverty and ignorance as part of God's salvation. Some believe God comes from a barrel of a gun. For them theology of liberation has become a byword for revolution. "If it pplies doctrines, systems or ways of analysis that are not Christian," the pope said, "then it is not true theology. That's the problem. Theology of liberation, yes. But which one?" New nation is born The recent debut of the vest-pocket British Commonwealth of IDominica as the world's youngest nation, signals the emergence of a series of ministates in the Caribbean over the next 12 months. Dominica, a 290 square mile dot in the Lesser Antilles, is in fact a banana republic. It earns nearly three wuarters of its $12 million ex- port revenges from the popular fruit, although the global gut of bananas has not helped the business of late on this island of almost 80,000 people. The big powers helped celebrate the birth of this tiny nation. Britain, which had ruled this island since 1805, turned over $20 million, half of it as an outright grant and the remainder as an interest free loan. France promised to build a sports stadium, jet airport and a better road system. The United Stated donated 250 reference volumes to the fledEing stat's national library. Other Caribbean islands on the Pope criticizes Mexican church By Reuter and AP MEXICO CITY - Pope John Paul II, in apparent criticism, of Marxist Catholics, yesterday called on the church in Latin America to correct its course. He made his call in Mexico's most re- vered shrine after a triumphant motor- cade through the streets of the Mexican capital, cheered by a crowd officially estimated at six million. IN A HOMILY at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe at the start of the third Conference of Latin American Bishops, the pope called for a "correct and necessary step forward" from the last bishops' conference in Medellin, Colombia, 10 years ago. "More than 10 years have passed and interpretations have been given that have at times been contradictory, not always correct, not always beneficial to the church," he told cardinals, arch- bishops, bishops and a huge throng in the basilica. "The church is therefore looking for the ways that will enable her to under- stand more deeply and fulfill more zealously the mission she has been given by Christ Jesus." The pope did not elaborate in the homily, which primarily has devoted to an invocation to the Virgin Mary, to guide the bishops' conference which opens today in a seminary at Puebla, 100 miles (160 km) east of Mexico City. - The 250 bishops meeting there this week must confront knotty problems ranging from growing sexual freedom to the politicization of priests in order to chart their church's course. into the next century. THE 17-DAY Third Latin American Bishops Conference, billed as the most important session for the prelates this decade, has been given added weight because of the visit of Pope John Paul II. The pontiff chose to inaugurate the conference to show his concern for the future of the church in turbulent Cen- tral and South America, home to nearly half the world's 750 million Roman Catholics. An unofficial Associated Press sur- vey of church officials in several Latin American nations shows that their con- cerns will center on: * The problem that in some Latin coun- tries as few as two per cent of the population practice their faith. * Many prelates are troubled by rising divorce rates and a breakdown of the family. * More than a score of priests have died fighting alongside leftist guerrillas in politically troubled nations. "Progressive" Catholics have adop- ted what is known as the "theology of liberatian" and during his flight from Rome to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, the pope made clear he op- posed and Marxist version of it. "Theology of Liberation, yes," he said. "But which one?" "If one starts to politicize theology, to apply doctrines of systems, ways of analysis, which are not Christian, then this is no longer theology." His greeting from the, millions of. Mexicans yesterday more than equalled Friday's jubilant welcome "Interpretations have been given that have at times been contradictory, not always correct, not always, beneficial to thenchurch." -Pope ,John Paul II When the procession resumed, the smiling leader of the world's 700 million Roman Catholics greeted the crowds by waving, spreading his arms and giving a blessing with the sign of the Cross. The pope's motorcade, preceded by two V-shaped patrols of 'white- uniformed police on motorcycles and two truckloads of photographers, was accompanied by about 15 young smar- tly dressed young men who ran alongside. Reliable sources said they were army karate experts, ready to protect the pope from anyone trying to board the bus. At one point, John Paul stopped the motorcade, stepped down from his open vehicle and mingled with the multitude, touching hands, blessing babies and acknowledging the roar of the adoring crowds. Security men were hard-pressed to hold back the throng during the several minutes the pope stood on the broad In- surgentes Avenue. "It is the largest accumulation. of people I have seen in my life," said Capt. Enrique Ortega, a policeman' working for the Red Cross. .Per Cop at the PAPER CHASE Michigan Union next to U-Cellar 665-8065 ,, * The number of foreign priests, upon whom Latin American Catholics have depended for centuries, is falling rapidly. Church involvement in secular af- fairs is expected to be the most volatile issue of the congress. ACTIVIST priests say the church should advocate revolution, if necessary, for social reform and a new. economic order. Conservatives say the church should aim more at moulding souls by providing moral guidance. The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Pierfranco Pastore, told reporters the pope would spell out his views more fully in a speech there today. The pope's critical comments were believed to be a reference to leftwing Catholics who have interpreted Latin America's huge economic and social problems in Marxist terms. when the pope, on his first journey out- side Italy since his election three mon- ths ago, arrived from Santo Domingo. THE CROWD shouted "Viva el Papa" (Long live the Pope) and "El Papa, el Papa, rah rah rah" as the slow-moving motorcade took the pope 'to the basilica to deliver his speech. Soon after the white-robed pope star- ted his motorcade, in an open single- decker bus, he stopped and got out to mingle with the flag-waving, sign- carrying Mexicans. Some of the signs read "Mexico Faithful to the Pope," "Long Live Christ the King" and "Long Live the Virgin of Guadaloupe." The basilica of the "Dark Virgin" marks the spot where an illiterate In- dian convert said he had a vision of Mary, with Indian features, 448 years ago. Energy: Look to Mexico? By Reuter and AP WASHINGTON-President Carter suggested yesterday that the United States was not looking to Mexico for help in meeting America's immediate energy needs but viewed it as only a possible long-range supplier of natural gas. In the transcript of an interview with visiting editors released by the White House today, Carter said the country's short-term needs could be met by domestic supplies of natural gas. HE ALSO suggested that the United States might not be willing now to pay a high price for Mexican natural gas, which at $2.60 per thousand cubic feet is higher than what the government pays for domestic and Canadian supplies. He also said oil and .gas deposits recently discovered in Mexico were of a nature that required long-range ex- ploration and development. But he added that the United States was interested in negotiating with Mexico for long range oil and gas sup- plies and that he will discuss the subject in detail with Mexican President Lopez Portillo when he visits Mexico on February 14. SAYING HE was not going to Mexico to negotiate the spot price of natural gas, Carter responded to a question by adding, "It is so important to distinguish between short-term needs, which are being met by domestic sup- plies, and long-term needs.. when we. will probably not have adequate sup- plies in our own country. Asked whether he agreed with Energy Secretary James Schlesinger's view that the United States was not willing to pay Mexico's price for gas, he responded: "I don't think Secretary Schlesinger insinuated that on a long-term basis we wouldn't . . . negotiate with Mexico."' BUT HE SAID: "We cannotafford to pay, any time in the near future, a much higher price for Mexican gas than we pay for domestic gas... . That is just the fact of the matter." On the question of establishing nor-' mal diplomatic relations with .China, Carter said Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev had contacted him directly to express concern about possible weapons sales by Western countries to Peking. He said he assured the Soviet Union the United States will not sell weapons to China or Russia. He also said the sale of technological equipment such as computers to China would be decided on a case-by-case basis.
