SAN DIEGO STATE COLLEGE By S-TEVE KARMAN The administration here is wa iting somewhat anxiously to see what !he Legislature is going to do to Gov. Reagan's proposed budget which would prohibit any pay raises for fac- ulty memhers and inhibit campus growth. Reagan's budget calls for only a $5.8-million increase this fiscal year for the entire !!}-campus state college system. State college trustees have said they need an additional $58.7 million over the present $310.6 million. 1 But for the second year in a row, the governor proposes no

In the course of the address, Father Padovano spoke on the one hand of the historical "Jesus", using the proper name and on the other hand of the "Christ" (the anointed one ) using the title. Running the risk of being misunderstood as dividing the one person of Jesus Christ into two, Father Padovano isolated the humanity of "Jesus" from the divinity of the "Christ." He demonstrated that it is, in fact, possible for us to identify with and imitate Jesus because he was full y human . The humanity of Jesus was not so overshadowed by His divinity that it nullified His human nature . Jesus Christ lived what He preached, completely accepting the challenge God offers man even, to the point of being rejected by the world. Father Padovano did not attempt to solve the mystery of the all-knowing divine Christ and the learning human Jesus being one and the same Person because as a myster y of our fa ith it is insolvable.

I heard Father Padovano say we sh-0uld separate Jesus from Christ if we really want to understand the human and divine natures of Our Lord. Is this theory generally accepted? Father Anthony Pad_ovano is a widely acclaimed author and lecturer. He is a professor of dogma tic theology at Im- maculate Conception Seminary in Darlington, New Jersey . On January 15, 1971 , he ad- dressed more than one thousand Catholic youth educators , youths and others at San Diego State on "Unbelief and the Young Catholic." Proposing a viable spirituality which presents Jesus Christ as an ideal which is possible to imitate, Father Padovano suggested the value of emphasizing the human nature of J esus while teaching at the same time tha t He is the Son of God. In doing so, the theologian showed that what is unique about Christianity is precisely the humanity which God took on in the one Person of J esus Christ.

A Look at Lectors

Popular Book on Priests Probably one of the most widely read books on the priesthood is that by Father Raymond Brown, SS, who was recently a visitor to our diocese. His book Priest and Bishop is a very fine exposition of what the New Testament has to say about the priesthood (with some surprises ). Within a few days I found the Bishop reading it, Msgr . John Portman, head of the Religious studies department with it, and Father Frank (Henry F.) Fawcett, director of the permanent diaconate program, had it in his briefrase. Father Brown may be too " far out" for some, but at least he is not afraid to speak his mind. He defends celibacy, incidentally, because "the Roman Catholic church has an ecumenical duty to continue to bear an effective witness on this score." And on the question of the difficulties and hardship of the priestly life he says : " One must recognize that in the Gospels the vocation to special discipleship is portrayed precisely as a vocation to hardships too severe to be generally acceptable." He also suggests the idea that "we may have to ordain men who are engaged full time in other tasks and devote only one day a week to a priestly function." Which is one of the ideas of the new permanent diaconate program of course.

Ever since laymen were given the honorable and privileged role of lector, or leader at the celebration of Mass we have seen - or rather heard - a wide range of competence. It would have been too much to a sk for a whole host of Laurence Oliviers overnight, but do we really have to listen to so many stumbling mutterers proclaiming the " word of the Lord?" Moving a round to various churches in line of duty I perhaps hea r more lectors than most, and they range from very fine inte rpr e ters of the Word to those who almost make a mockery of the dignity of the office. There is potential among women not sufficiently tapped. I have heard of one or two already at the lectern. And why not? Preparing for Presentation The conscientious lectors get into the sacristy about 15 minutes before Mass and prepare their readings, notices and general presentation of the Mass. By contrast there are those who arrive a scant moment or two before time, hastily gather their books and leaflets together and go onto the altar ill-prepared for anything . There's also the other extreme, of the lector who prepares very, very carefully, but who considers that a rather histrionic rendition of the psalms and epistles is required. We end up with a rather uncomfortable, almost embarrassing "performance" instead of a reading. Woman Lector Among women lectors is Dorothy Humphrey of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church in San Diego. She has written me a very poetic account of her feelings, too long to quote in full, but worth extracting. "To be a woman and a lector is very special," she writes . "To reach out to others, to have something to offer them is to feel fulfilled, productive. I hope more women will share my good fortune . And we may finally bring some love, not only to tllose around us, but like a pebble in a pool, in an ever widening circle. "To have a little girl shyly express pleasure that I am lector is one of life's treasured moments. And, to share and respond to the affection of three great priests is a blessing." · · Role of Lector Perhaps we have not yet really identified the true role of the lector. For some pastors priests and parishioners he is really only an ext~nsion of the original idea of a man to read some of the readings. But surely, he is truly leader of the community for the occasion, answering with and for his lay com- munity to the prayerful offering of the celebrant. "The role of the lector in the parish is second only to that of the priest," writes Father James Cun- ningham in a recent article. "It is unique. It is not to be taken lightly. The entire assembly awaits the proclamation of Scripture that he announces. A good lector_ is a parish leader. He assists the people at wor as no one else can. _ ure is not a dead issue, it is alive and active m-theissembled community. It is the job of the lector to announce the word so that all may hear " says Father Cunningham. '

A Friend Indeed

Clarence Steber, who died Monday aner a painful illness, was the kind of a Catholic who believed in meeting challenges. His life was full of them, which he faced with vigor and determinatinn. And at his end he was peacefully aware of his greatest challenge, met with equanimity and prayer. But it's strange that, even when you feel close to someone in affection, the everyday events of

Charity and Challenge to make us forget. I had not known Clarence was ill, though many of my friends and associates knew. It was just one of those things . So when Frances, his wife, told me on Monday that Clarence was gravely ill I was shocked - and even more so when I saw him in the hospital. He obviously had little time to go. It was a happy, though solemn meeting. We held hands, prayed together to ask God to relieve his suffering, this man who had served God and man for 78 years. A few hours later the prayer was answered. Clarence Steber put his money where his faith was, into Catholic charities here and in the Midwest. He was human enough to enjoy recognition, like honorary alumnus of Loyola Univer::ity, Chicago, and the alumni merit award of St. Louis University. A few days before he died Bishop Maher was able to deliver to him the official document in Latin making him a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre. Framed, it met his last life tend
