felt the response would be better if an organized effort were made to gather the coupons Liberals Are Ousted From Borrowed Pulpit Until a suitable donor is found the child will depend on a kidney machine to keep him alive Mrs James Watkins of 3143 North Barton Avenue in Fresno said the General Mills company has agreed to supply a machine to a medical center near home in exchange for 800000 Betty Crocker coupons if the coupons are delivered before May 31 So far Tommy's A 4-yea r-old San Jose life may depend on the success of an effort by the Dorcas Sunday school class of Harvard Terrace Baptist Church to collect General Mills coupons The boy is Tommy Davis who was born with miniature kidneys one of which is nonfunctioning His doctors said the one kidney which has kept him alive for

on world peace and on Jews generally plus some whis-py cloak-and-dagger speculation the board there has been almost universal outrage at this style and tactics" says Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum of the American Jewish Committee simply to condemn make the What needs clarifying he adds are the behind the sweeping reaction voiced not only by major Jewish organizations in this country but also in Israel Rabbi Kahane claims his Jewish Defense campaign of harassing Soviet officials and their families has been to combat repression of Jews in Russia but Jewish leaders contend the effect is just the reverse It is smokescreen" behind which the Kremlin accelerate its anti-Jewish says Dr Judd Teller consultant to the Synagogue Council of America including all three branches of Judaism Jewish leaders say the approach not only hurts the cause of Russian Jews directly but also does so by damaging efforts at international peace that it stirs hostility to Judaism and undermines its support of ST COLLEGE in Moraga a suburb of Oakland was nationally known as Notre Dame of the West" in the golden (and eventually the disastrously expensive) era of the inimitably colorful coach Patrick Madi-gan Today this Christian Brothers institution ought to be known nationally for its charitable hospitality despite rather extraordinary circumstances For St Mary's provides its spacious and attractive chapel (capacity: 700) for the four Sunday Masses of the Moraga Catholic parish St which has no building of its own St contributes a mere $500 per month for this privilege a fraction of what it would cost if the parish constructed its own building and paid such attendant costs as utilities janitorial services and grounds keeping Yet despite this bargain the clergy and students of St College have not always fared well at the hands of their guest parish On May 28 1968 at what was designated as a Mass for students student Rick Anderson under the direction of St chaplain Rev Roderick Garvey CSSR took the pulpit and quoted a number of papal encyclicals on the subject of peace (an apparently controversial subject in some sections of Moraga) St pastor Father Edward Casey immediately rose and told the startled student congregation: "As long as I am here no layman student or adult is going to give a testimonial unless the charismata is so evident that the Holy Spirit comes down in some visible form and picks up the preacher by the hair of his head and lifts him into the pulpit (This in the same month that Britain's Cardinal Heenan had laymen preaching in Catholic pulpits all over England) SIX DAYS later Chaplain TALK William Little of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship will speak at noon Friday in the Tower Theater sponsored by the Fresno First Church of Christ

7 pm Garvey's CSSR Provincial withdrew his priestly faculties at the request of Bishop Floyd Begin of the Diocese of Oakland (After news of this disciplinary action broke in The San Francisco Chronicle Bishop Begin's office announced that the bishop had merely asked Garvey not to say Mass for one Sunday But the St chaplain insisted that there had been no such time limitation in the action taken against him) This fall St Pastor Casey again went to bat by barring from his (borrowed) pulpit one of SL Mary's most renowned faculty members the Rev Peter Riga Riga a professor of theology had been preaching every Sunday (for which he was paid $25 by St as well as hearing confessions and instructing parish education classes for the past four years But Riga is a decidedly liberal theologian a prolific writer a compelling orator and an extremely outspoken opponent of: (1) the Vietnamese war (2) the compulsory clergy celibacy (3) draft exemption for clergy (4) capital punishment (5) the treatment of farm laborers by agribusiness (6) the opposition to contraception among other issues What particularly drives conservative Catholics up the wall however is this insufferably brilliant expressed opposition to what he regards as unrealistic pornography laws and his having testified for the defense in obscenity trials the Cathedral at notes the tall raven-haired theologian is a very interesting tableau divided into two parts love your appears above the clear image of a Christian couple in bed in the evident act of sexual intercourse Then the second frame has Christ loved the over the clear image of Christ (with divine halo) in bed with his wife the church in the evident act of sexual embrace an image is contends Riga it expresses so well the incarna-tional reality of human married love in its relation to But he adds would shock many Christians RIGA IS RIGHT certainly in Moraga For the parish council of St decided that sermons are too and disturbing to the So despite petitions from 250 people Pastor Casey says: case is closed and I do mean The doors of St Chapel have not been closed on Casey and his parish however And this appears to be not only an example of FILM
