According to Dr. Robert Ray, director of Health Services, the physicians were added to the staff to counsel young women students seeking 'nformation about birth control. Ray said that in the past such counseling took the doctors away from the regular stream of patients they must treat each day. . The question of a child care center on the campus received a positive vote last week, when the student council allocated

"We intend to do it with thoughtful care and take into full consideration the fine distinctions of ability." Father Shipley did not say when the search committee would arrive at a decision. The new president will be the chief officer of the academically coordinaled colleges for men and women, known as the USD Coordinate Colleges. The two schools are now corporately independent, but their merger is underway.

candidates, including several women are being considered for pr~ident of the Univers$'., of San Diego. They come lrom 32 §tares, Lllhada and England. Number of candidates was reported by Father William L. Shipley, chairman of the Presidential Search Com- mittee. Many of the applicants are now college presidents, vice presidents or deans of s~hools. Others are lawyers, engineers, physicians, military officers, or hold high government jobs. Many are involved in com- prehensive academic planning. THE CHALLENGE of a newly unified campus is at- tracting many of the can- didates, Father Shipley said.

• Years Old, doesn't leak - and parish will celebrate." Msgr. Purcell hasn't stopped laughing yet. We're still trying to live it down. I am heartened to see that these things happen in other Catholic newspapers. A recent issue of the Monterey diocesan paper The Observer, over a story about the Castroville parish of Our Lady of Refuge had the bold headline which read: "Our Lady of Refuse." Castroville, incidentally, claims to be the artichoke capital of the world. There's a lot of refuse in an ar- tichoke. As we say in the newspaper business, surgeons bury their mistakes, but we proclaim ours to the world. Weirdos and Words It was rather imprudent, I think, that Bishop Russell McVinney of Providence, R.I., was so vehement in his opposition to Communion in the hand at the bishops' conference. He was quoted as describing it as putting the Church on the downward path to destruction. What really was unnecessary, I thought, was his remark that he thought the practice would "attract a lot of weirdos." It seems to me that Christ had a lot of "weirdos" around Him and managed to love them just the same. Another Bishop - Other Words I liked the phrase our own Bishop Maher used at one of the recent investitures. Talking of priests - for whom, incidentally, he has a very deep concern- he said: "A priest is not a Monday morning quarterback who tells the world what it should have done yesterday. He has to be ready with answers to problems every day as they happen." Talking of quarterbacks, the bishop, among others, was involved in that wet afternoon in Los Angeles around Thanksgiving when the Fighting Irish took a trouncing from the Trojans. , I'm not quite sure whether it was that they weren't praying hard enough or playing hard enough. Proving His Church Credit It was football, believe it or not, which enabled some visiting Irish priests to celebrate Mass in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. Father Peter Mimnagh, who did an outstanding job of emceeing the dinner held after Msgr. Edward Creighton's investiture, told the story of how he and the new .Monsignor were in Rome together on a vacation and inquired about saying Mass. .They were, as is usual on these occasions, asked by the St. Peter's sacristan for their official faculties stating that they were priests and entitled to celebrate Mass. Although they were dressed as priests they had nothing on them to prove it. Suddenly Msgr. Creighton went into a huddle with the sacristan, showing him a small document, and Father Mimnagh watched with interest. It worked, and the sacristan allowed them to proceed with Mass. Afterwards Father Mimnagh asked the monsignor what he had used as evidence. It was a credit card written in Gaelic which would allow the bearer to All- Ireland football games. The quickest change in priestly allegiance I have seen in years is shown on a pamphlet called "Marriage and the Vatican Council," pu lished by Abbey Press. On the cover it is "by Rev, Charles Poller" but on the first page it is "by Charles Dollen, SJ." And you never told me, Father, after all our radio programs together! I can report that the librarian at USD and Southern Cross book r viewer has not become a Quick Change Artist

We are entering what might rightly be called the Mexican-American period. The feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the many activities connected with it focus attention on the wonderful heritage from across the border. It will be interesting to meet Bishop Patrick Flores who is coming from San Antonio to play a principal part in several parishes of our diocese over the neYt few days. He is the bishop rightly claimed by our old friend, Arch- bishop Francis J. Furey, as his special auxiliary. Bishop Flores has the distinction of being the first Mexican-American episcopal appointment in the United States. I was really surprised to learn this. He must have a touch of the Irish somewhere, or else how did he get that Christian name? Straight From the Shoulder Bishop Flores is a man of direct and incisive words. I liked what he told the Knights of Columbus 88th Supreme

Two F's of Texas Bistrop Flores asked the Knights: "Are you among the silent majority who are silent, not because it is prudent, but silent because you find it convenient - it's comfortable ...because you are lazy ...do not care to proclaim the Good News where it needs to be proclaimed?" I could go on with extracts from what was a direct and timely speech to the Knights. I hope we shall have the pleasure Qf hearing Bishop Flores speak as clearly here. Visit to Remember These words were not intended to be an obituary piece. But they have become so. George Tasch, well known for his work as a leading member of the Knights of Columbus, visited with me in The Southern Cross office and I had planned to write about him and his work. However, within a week of the visit he died as the result of another of the heart attacks which had plagued him for 20 year;;. Sacred Heart parish in Ocean Beach has long known his untiring work as a lay leader, while many fraternal societies apart from the Knights will miss his pleasant and cheerful manner. I only met him that time he called here. I am sorry our acquaintance was so short. His brothers include two priests and a doctor. He proudly told me about his eight brothers and sisters, all around three score and ten years, and his wife Polly, all of whom survive him. Hail and farewell, George.

To compensate for this de_ficit, the board will allow the entire Associated Student fees paid by all students to go into the budget.
