'NO TAX FUNDS FOR CHURCH SCHOOLS' Chicago, April 7 Sister Mary Henry Cornille defended As modern cities grow in size and suffer from urban sprawl, this becomes increas ingly difficult. The effort to solve it gen erally involves two or three of the following four devices: 1 signs giving the ABOLISH 'MEANS TEST' Chicago, April 17 Today's Voice of the People points up one of the biggest hang-ups of social security rulings. I refer to the means test disguised by the phrase "wage limitation." No private insurance company would be allowed to deny anyone their insurance benefits by such a means test. The fact that investment income is not subject to income limitation, permits our retired lawmakers and corporation name of the street the motorist is on; are still alive, and two lived almost a year before they died.

The re-suits have been basically since the pro cedure is loaded with technical difficulties. Tuesday, April 22, 1969 the Newspaper is an institution developed by modern civilization to present the news of the day, to foster commerce and industry, to inform and lead public opinion, and to furnish that check upon government which no constitution has ever been able to provide. THE TRIBUNE CREDO 2 signs giving the names the streets that he crosses: 3 maps showing where these streets are: and 4 house numbers to the use of public tax funds for church schools in the Voice of the People April 51.

This donated liver was not working, western should be ashamed of itself. Twenty-one N. U. students blatantly rip up a fraternity house and beat up its members, and yet not one single student is expelled, let alone criminally punished. When will college officials learn that permissiveness just doesn't pay off? They help neither the race problem nor the student problem by dealing leniently with cases such as this.

The sooner the black or white student realizes that he will be firmly punished for illegal actions, the sooner might this turmoil calm down. And if these students don't wish to abide by the rules, there are plenty of other students who would gladly take their places at Northwestern. This country's leaders had better start taking firm steps against lawlessness or we will really be in a mess. Not just the colleges but the whole country seems to think that to show ourselves part of the "go generation" we must be permissive on everything. Let's get back to our senses and start saying "No" once in a while.

Ed C. Johnson Jr. INTERPRETING LAW Aurora, April 13 Altho I am in substantial agreement Death threatened for a second keeps motorists from going too far astray. Chicago, where, it turns out, Sen. Chew has been collecting $760 a month as a city sewer inspector, plus $65 as a car allowance not for his Rolls or his Cadillac but for the third car he used at work to stress his financial misery: a 1968 Chevrolet station wagon.

About 100 black students marched out of the student union building, Willard Straight hall, after a 36-hour occupation, guarded by 17 of their number carrying rifles and shotguns. Some of the armed escort wore bandoliers of ammunition. The blacks took over the building after evicting 20 sleeping parents visiting the campus for a parents' wecvend. The armed students marched to their Afro-American center headquarters, where under gunpoint the university vice president and the vice provost signed a seven-point agreement, embodying all of the black students' demands.

The university officials said they signed under duress "to prevent a growing and imminent threat to life" and that they permitted the blacks The best candidate for a liver logical, but ridiculous.

Death was suggests, that "there exists no battle between public and private education," perhaps the Catholic bishops should close their schools as had been suggested by several prominent laymen of their own faith.

Former Gov. George Romney of Michigan suggested closing of parochial schools before he took a federal post. It is cheaper to support one public school system, rather than a dozen, and is less threat to religious freedom. Church schools exist for religious indoctrination. This is the fundamental basis for their existence and operation.

To suggest that public tax funds be used for church-oriented schools is to renew old quarrels and bitterly divide a community. Public officials like Ogilvie should know better. We live in a pluralistic society, with over 247 religious denominations and 85 million Americans who belong to no church. In addition, several thousand citizens switch their religious faith, including nuns and priests. Why should anyone pay a tax tribute to a church denomination which they no longer care to support thru a free-will offering? We are delighted to see the vigorous opposition of so many groups and citizens to the incredible tax proposals of Gov.

When you have learned to spot the street signs a block in advance and to know which corner they are on, you will come to a city where the names are painted on the curbs. In much of southern Europe, the street names are affixed to or often carved into the walls of buildings. This keeps vandals from turning them sideways and might do the job admirably if it weren't for the frustrating fact that European streets change their name every block or so. With its long past, a country like Italy has so many historic heroes that there aren't enough streets to go around.

By the time you locate on the map the street that you are on, you are on a different street. In Chicago, the even numbers are on the north and west sides of the street; but in New York they are on the south and west sides and in other cities the north and east or south and east sides.

Nothing no, my university the University of Chicago was handled brilliantly and effectively by President Edward Levi and the administration, given the attitude of the faculty. But this attitude undermines our defenses against the intolerant radicals who are seeking to destroy all universities.

Neither of these reasons for the faculty attitude is any longer valid. A more relevant reason is that the university can perform its true function only if it is- a community whose members share common values and have a common commitment to free and un-trammeled Inquiry. The need to use outside force to maintain discipline undermines this sense of community and hence should be avoided provided that it can be avoided without tolerating modes of discourse confrontation, force, coercion that are fundamentally inconsistent with the basic values of the university. Whatever the desirability of avoiding outside force, I have become increasingly impressed with how ineffective university disciplinary procedures are for offenses such as trespass, destruction of university property, and interference with the civil rights of others.

HEMORRHOIDS AT 7 A reader writes: What does a doctor mean when he says "you have hemorrhoids at 7 o'clock?" REPLY Physicians often use the numerals of a clock to describe the location of a lesion in a body opening or round organ, such as the eye. The site of the three pairs of hemorrhoidal veins frequently is described as at 10, 2, or 5 o'clock or 7, or 10 o'clock, depending upon the position of the patient.

On the one hand, the National School ful one, if we are to credit Sen. Chew Chicago, whose tastes are reputed to run to some of the finer things in life.

He complained to fellow senators and a packed visitors' gallery the other day about his salary $9,000 a year, lack of secretarial help, Inadequate office space, and poor service in the Capitol cafeteria. Outside, Chew charged, the hotels and motels "push you around" and the restaurants "see you coming." We doubt that life is all that bad in Springfield, altho it seems to be true, as Chew asserted, that appointed state officials enjoy plush offices, high salaries, and the proper deference due them as dispensers of jobs and other emoluments. Whatever loss in prestige the legislators have suffered may reflect an inexorable toll in class-consciousness that comes from all those payrollers competing for goods and services. Still, many lawmakers seem to get first choice on hotel rooms and preferred tables in bars and restaurants, and, as Sen. Arlington told Chew, "the hotel doesn't charge you to park either your Rolls-Royce or your Cadillac." That's more than he can expect in Board association, in convention at Miami Beach, resolved that "within five years" the country should assume "a level of want to deny persons committed to such tactics access to the university not to punish them, but to preserve the university.

If this distinction between the proper domains of the university and of the civil authorities were widely accepted by the faculty, it might be possible, to nip incipient disruptions in the bud by calling in the police at once. Indeed, if it were widely accepted, the occasion for calling in the police would be unlikely to arise. As it is, we have the worst of both worlds. Time and again, unwillingness to have the police on campus has permitted a disruption to grow to a scale that has made mast force and violence inevitable when police were finally called Columbia, San Francisco State, and Berkeley bear tragic testimony. Thanks to wise leadership and in eventually united faculty, the University of Chicago was able to avoid that outcome this time.
