W1·iting lelters remains one of mankind's exclusive abilities. Animals do not write to each other; but humans do. When they pen their affections and let the postal system be their ally, they set in motion events which have inspired movies and sonµ"~ flhout love letters. It can be the life. line or the blood transfusion that will i;avc a dying friendshi1> or revive memories. Writing letters, like all human faculties, will exalt Qr condemn man according to how he utilizes thii: ability. Writing condemns a man when he stoops so low as to write anonynmus lctte1·s. By this term is meant th•lse one-way mesi:ages sent by unknown persons of 111-will and rancor It is spitefully designed to exco1·iate and villify the person addressed to. It will be interesting to note here that the rcc<>ivers are more often than not people of some consequence. Small "fry" do not receive anonymous letters b<>C3lise they are insignificant and they do not matter to anybody. The Duke of Windsor describes anonymous letters as a "base and eowi>rdly form of human aberration .. the proper place for such communications (is) the fire." But writing exalt!< a man when he does so in the interests of friendship rnd intellectual sharing. Such a one did we receive from Gifu Ken. Japan. . . for all the loyalty shown hv.. the Carolinian... a word of thanks is the least I should give you in return.. About the Japanei:e language I discovered the following difficulties: 1) The incredible number of words, expressions, idiomatic eonstructions. 2) The difference between the spoken language, written lang-uage, prayer-book language, epistolary style language. and the lite1·ary IanPage 3 guage, as to wol'ds, endings, construction is really great. 3) The w1·itten language uses a writing syste111 which Harvard U. calls the "most difficult and oomplicated writing system in use today." It is rather hard to explain.. but I shall try. The Japanese of the 5th centu· i·y had their own language, but they did not know how to write. Some eager Chinese brought then their previous characters and forthwith something unique started in human history. The Japanese aclo11tcd all the Chinese sounds, or words but they used the Chinese signs also to express their own words of similar meaning. Many Japanese words for which there was no equivalent Chinese sign, they put simply under a sign of different mea11ing. Later on in the 8th century came another group of Chinege who taught a new way of reading the Chinese characters. Net result of all that: Every Chinese character represents in the average two different Chinese words mul three Japanese words. Sometimes a dozen different words are expressed by one sign. To make it mo_re complicated one word may also have different signs. A written sentence can be read in different ways according to the construction, combination of the different signs. Many times the meaning must be known before it can be read right. "The faculty of guessing right must be developed from the beginning'' is said in the best hooks on the Japanese lane;uage. There are more difficnlties ... With be!'t regards to :lll friends of San Carlos. Fr. E. Hoerdemann, SVD." -J. N. Lim. Page -I .~~~~~~~- CAROLINIAN EDITORIALS, s,wie time, :wme ,<;totro11, same gag Sometime ago the CAROLINIAN :.!Ol a frer. plug over the local radio. Some disc jockep; and announcers did not ::~1·m to rel;sh ar. item publish· .:;d ii; a Jlrl'vious iH!>ue of the CAROLINIAN about corny quips by repititious radio ramblers, so we gathert'<I from the radio plug. Among other things, the voice saici that the CAROLINIAN is very "unfriendly" le the radio guys and Mr. Vicente Lim .vho wrote the stuff :it issue ought to know how "hard-working'' and 11nde1·poid are the radio people (italics ours) and should be more "considcrat1:". Wh;Je we do not wish to pick a quarrel with the radio people, we feel that some points which should be br(1ught up were missed and points which ought to be missed were brought up. That about adds up to a mess. On hard labor and low wages of the radio employes, we have no indination to take up the matter fol' <liecussion or questioning. It is hard1.v prcper for us to entertain as private ar, affair and, certainly, totally 11one of ou1· business. But we should take exception to the misrepresenting of the motive for publishing Mr. Lim's alleged riding of local radio. A fervent radio fan who happens to have good taste>, Mr. Lim merely registered protest against di~c jockeys' stereotype whoopin3 in the ai~ abn; "h:s 11ayday being two days near" twice io mo11U1 since radio came to tow11. This is just too much for people like Associate Editor Lim, who don't have a stationary funnybone. "After hearing it the dozenth time," wrote Lim, "I knew it stunk .. , That's a hard word there but there couldn't be a more apt word, so help him. It is not the nature of the gag that he crmplains of ("The first time I heard it I thought it was cute ... ") but it's the number of the same gag that :;:-ets on his nerves. But what was written was all in the interest 0f bl'tter taste in radio wise-cracking. And iu passing, it is well to r'!· frcsh our memory on the underlying principles that govern radio bm;iness :rncl franchise. Inevitably, we have to takc off c-n the most elementary riri11ci11le that the air wavf'S belong to t!lc public. On this theory lean heavily the government's rights and c'lntrt>l over the radio franchise. And ar; a C(1rollary, radio eor1ioratlons Bl''? involvl'd in public service. It should surprise nobody then that once In a while the public has it~ ~ay on what's going on on its own property. ?1ews J?el1i .. ~ 7Tte qoo~ ?1ews An atmosphere unsafe for Democracy Aftcl" so much hemming and hawing, the President turned up with a dramatic pronouncement that he has ordered 100,000 "'special policemen'' and agents laid off. And that was meant to be good news for the austcrity-de1iressed peonlc. What was officiously played up bi!! was its value as an economic policy. The point energetically driven home was that a big hole in our national purse has been happily plugged. And we, the people, arc supposed to cheer. Unfortunately, those of us who have had close range observation of the doings of the special police, the purpose of their creation and their masterminds, know better. To expcct the people to warm up to overtures of this sort is to as'.: too !Tu.:'·, No amount of hokus-pokus even in form of economic policymaking can cover up the contemptible business thc Administration has hat! thl"ll the good offices of the special police. The President's pronouncement i$ nuite as remarkable as a news-item that announces that the storm 11us 1mstred period, with no mention at all of what happened during the i:.torm or how many homes were broken to piecl's. (But who can eount the broken ribs during the election?) And thl' presidential good news hm• Munded as cheerful. If somebody meant to pull the wool over the people's eyes with thii:. sort of political shenanigan, he did it ovel' his own eyes. The only thing the news brought home to the people was that a menace to our political existence rather than to our eeonomics has been removed, plus a good shock that the number of the hired hoodlums has overshot our wildest calculations. Truth to tell, the grim phantoms of economic eollapi:.e would hang pale and drab beside the bearded monsters ealled the "special police". No single P!ement - including the Huks - has ever pui:.hed this country eloser to the bl"ink of disaster :hall these? rrovernment hirelings, who, wherever they went, created an atmosphere unsafe for Democraey. It is just as well that PrC'sident made this revelation for there is no perfect way of dodging truth - not indefinitely. And the eli~he that truth like smoke cannot be kept in the hollow of the palm is still as happily immutable as it is ancient, Al· $<O, the President ha!! eMed up the sor••ly tro•Jhled cor.Heiences of those responsible for the drafting of the sTJecial hirelings, if he dlcln't ease up the eco:'lnomie cramps. Pnt what furni!:h!'d the real .!!:ood news here, if anything- did, was the in<lict>tion that the Prcslclent still belil'VC'S in Lincoln'i:. principle that no nne crm fOtJI all the pcopll' all the time.

His loyalty to San Carlos transcends the ordinary, intangible, filial alumnus-Alma Mater ties. Unselfish service and personal Page 5 s;::criflce nwke up mostly his affection fol' his Alma Mate1·. A11d h~ h<:~ made the welfare of USC vc•·y much his busimss c\·en as a true Catholic would take the good of the i\Jother Chure!l as his own. A vcl'it::!ilc c':se of a brainy man with luck, Mr. Pelaez has consi;;tcnt\y ridden the crest of success from school life to his profossional career. He is a born leader and was born to be one. With him it has become a rule to top a class, become tht> cla~s president, captain of the varsity team, be a head of every !.".rou11 he is thrown in. Apart from his being Dean of the College of Law, he is also the President of the local Jaycci::s and of the Pioneel' Preis. Normally, when a young man 111akcs good and asl'Umcs a rci<pomible job, the stock argument in his favol' is the fire and zeal of ~·outh. i\fr. Pelaez hardly needs this argument for he stands firn1 on his own with his personal merits ancl his competency for his new post. His scholastic record in his student days, his geniality, his enthusiastic !euder~hip in olP' college affairs, his sterling character, his moral intel!:rity and Catholic l!Cntlemanliness could make him st(·p into an~· eminent shoes and fit them like a made-toHc ccmbilw;; also brawn and brains and has and nwlclcd into a true Catholic gentleman at durinJ,!' his impressionable ~·cars back in the thirD.·r11 rir"t entered S;in Ct1rlos in HJ30.

He was captnin cf th(, San Cr,rlos hooters for three years from 1934 •o l!i:l(). It was rnoi;t often that he booted his team to victory in thee man~· tournaments in which the San Carlos eleven participated. Apart from his skill in sports, his aptitude in the lite· rar~· field was by that time already recognized. He was the firi;t F.dito1· of the "CAROLINIAN" when It first came out ns the official or)!'an of the student body of the then San Carlos College. He held the editorship from his fourth yea!' high school up t his A.A. graduation in HJ36. Incidentally, his class was the first bunch of A.A. graduates Snn Carlos turned out. He left San Carlos then but not before thnt ce!•tain Carolinian mark of distrnction was r!eeplv stamped into his manhood. The late Mr. Vicente Quibilan, Sr., former principal of the San Carlos High who was one of his professors in Liberal A1·t~ class wrote a fittin,l!'ly beautiful tribute to Mr. Pelaez, the student, in these selfsame pages of the CAROLINIAN more than a decade aj!'o. It was practical!~· n lei of perfumed flowers placed around the neck of a depa1·ting friend and pupil by a teacher who had learned to l't'.'slJeet and admire him ,!';O much for his ,1?ood qualities at the eve of his ~rarluation. "· .. Captain of the team, Editor of the CAROLINIAN, Class President and of the Student Council, and topnotcher in his class, Mr. Fulvio Pelaez has endeared himself to his college mates. His ways are all stamped with tenacity of purpose and with originality. He possesses moral and ph~·sical courage which is equal to the eme1·1!'enc~· to which the captain ;ind the editor is placed; calm amidst excite· ment, patient and !Oportsman under trials, never unduly elated b~· vietory or defeat. "Mr. Pclaez's maj!'nanimity to his opponents, his ge. nerosit~, to his friends and his loyalty to his Alma Mater have Page 6 produced a reciprocal effect in all who come in contact with him. He is the student of affairs in college life. He is the personification of a truly spirited student. The admirable traits of Mr. Pelaez make those who ai·c ldt behind sad in sccinc: him leave. But it is written thiit students come :;>_nrl go; so all we can do is to wish that Mr. Pclm.•;: will continue to cng·rnve his name in the hearts of his friend'>, his instructors, ancl his srjiool." He took his lnw .~t11dies at the Ateneo de Mnni!ii where he also excelled in '!-cholarship and sports. To sum up. his years at the Ateneo were well-spent: and as a true Carolinian, he acquitted himself there remarkably to the great pride and honor of San Carlos, his Alma Mater. To !Jrove our point we quote here excerpts from the pages of the "AEGIS", at the eve of his graduation from the Ateneo College of Law: "Presenting - the ONE in a thousand, who is possessed of that r11re 1?ift, a combination of brain and brawn. Four years ago, Fulvio ('ame into our midst - a pleasantlooking stranger; today, he enjoys the admiration and friendship of us vll, for he has more than proven himself a true Catholic gentleman ... model of constan('y and industry ... always fully prepared in class .. , so much so that his fellow students have tag~ed him the "Walking Philippine Reporter".

"In athletics, he excels on the football field; he packs a mule's kick in either leg. In his four years in the College, cramped with his studies and with military drill, Fulvio proved that he had that. .. spirit by his achievements on the Varsity team ... Just as he is constant in his studies, he has proven himself a constant friend, one to be trusted :ind one whmn one can always depend upon. "Gcod luck, Fulvio - we know, you shall succeed in anything and everything you undertake." This la~t parngraph is not just an empty evaluation and a vain presage of the probabilities of the man. He got one of the ten places in the Ctr exams which he took. He went back to Sin Carlos (where his heart ~!ways is) to teach in the College of Law before World War II. In 1944, he was appointed legal counsel of the institution. Later, he became Secretary of the College of Law, paving the way for his appointment as Dean. Our new Dean, when interviewed~ expressed his firm resolve to main• tain, if not improve the high stand• t rd of our law students by giving stress to a good system of' study and instruction. He voiced out his great desire "to prepare the law students r.ot only to become lawyers but al~o to become good lawyers, both in the moral and the ethical 1ihascs of the (Cont. on page 27) A.~ a student, Mr. Fulvio Pelaez 1"/tll the first CAROLINIAN fasucs.

It had evolved a modern version of a wl-<>le!>ome blrnd of the traditioni.1 nnd 1:ultural influences of the Manchus, the Tartars, the Chinese, and the Jupaucsc. It fr the auc1ent capital of Korea. It was tht capi1.I!.: throughou~ lhl· centuries when its neigilbors c•vE-rran it successively. It was the same l·apital of the country 'vhcn the Japanese held it after the RussoJapam•se wa1·. And when the country was lil•erated in World War II by the American and Rus:ii;:>.n forcC's from the Japanese, it was the capital of th(' Amcric:m-sponsorcd sector south <>f the 38th parallel. Eventually it :.ad tc become the capital of the Rcpuhlic of Korea when it was granted its indcpend1:nce last year. You will bc•ar me if I should !"ay that I!. city which has always been a capital for five centuries must be capital.

Inchon is Seoul'! port city in a way that Tokyo's port city is Yokohama. Inchon, by itself, 1•:ith its causeway running fi·om Wolmi Island to the city, Its pagodas and its parks, and its cle•ated promenading embankments, was a bit exotic. But it had lost part of its alien atmosphere by its sporting of new-fangled port installi:ltions and facilities. About two weeks of Inchon made I''> itch for more sights novel to us. We hitched a ride in army vehicle~ •·ning to Seoul which is about twenty-two miles inland.

We had to use our sailor's lcath<'r and "-'"Ol!?n jackets which we brought along in case of rain. And they w11rmt:d us against the chilly breeze. We dashed through rolling hills for miles passing now and then sparselywoodctl areas and thickly populated towns and villages whic~ were in festive mood. Multi-colored paper decorations scrawled with Korean characters fluttered at conspicuous place!\. Schools and public building11 were bedecked with quaint sprawling Korean signs and paper buntings. In school and public plazas, folk dances and athletic events were shown to native audiences wearing their colorful best. We were able to learn that a certain South R:orean athlete who was sent to the United States to compete in some long-distance running event literally ran away with the first place. And the South Ko· reans were celebrating the victory of 1heil· chllm!lion who had learned laurels abroad. The civic-consciousness of the people was shown by their enthusiastic celebration of the triumph of one of their wide-awake sons. The Han river looked sluggish and a bit dirty in places with oily flotMms from the factories lining its banks at Yongdungpo, industrial district southwest of Seoul. But here and there were small floating is- , lands of green carried by the lazy ! flow of the current downstreame which looked serene to a discerning eye. Small junks and sailboats of various shapes and sizes were moored on the opposite banks of the river. We crossed the Han over a well-built and wide concrete bridge, and entered Seoul, the beautiful. We were surprised to behold stalwart ~tone and concrete buildings 1·ising in impressive magnificence all around us. The streets were wide, having a unique peculiarity in that some of them were quaintly crooked. These streets were either cemented, asphalted, or stone-paved'. Public plazas and parks were done in high al'sthetic sense. There were small artificial lakes and fountains showering rain bowed droplets, Seats and benches for pleasure-seekers were well-distributed inside the parks. Shrubberies and strange-lookinr. flowers and herbs were artisticallv 1?rown here and there in lush bu~ ~ymmetrically natural disarray. Trees were thrown into the general order c.f the place affording shade and a ~ylvan touch. This was especially true with the park near Dukso PaJacl'. We thought we were in a fairyland where strangl' fairies In the per~on of Seoul joy-seekers aolled up in <'Xotically stranl:!:'e costumes revelled. Or we thought \Ve budged into a daymasquerade where everybody except ourselves were wearing Korean costumes. But we soon discovered G-l's lollinl:!:' here and there In nooks or in eozv bowers with their "dates'' tran~porting ()Ur thoughts back to reality. Budhist pae:odas and Shinto shrine• with their quaintly old-fashioned architecture and the tassel-like trimmine:s of ancestral decorations were to be found in several p?aees.

I found in a lot of blue books during the last exams, plenty of innocent, sincere wlladdayacallits ... e.g., written in the topmost lefthand corner of the first page in the bluebook, obviously addressed to the teacher, I found this amusing pica: "Please, mam, have mercy on me•·! Others ran like "Bless me 0 Lord!" and one demanded: "Have pitty on Me, Mam", the 'mam' underlined twice. I had a friend who drew a grave in this exam book. On the tombstone was inscribed, "R. I. P. Hel'e lies Texie who in his Calculus got only sixty." Another nut drew a large eross heavily inked in black and !)Ut the inscription on the cover of his exam book. His teacher, who was game, noticed the drawing - ~nd promptly appende(l a fat goose e_~J!' under the cross. And then there is the tale of the stude who taped a Lifrsaver to his exam paper, and found the Lifesaver l'eplaced with an ~spirin when he got back his paper.

In like manner, Miss so and so's embarassment is beyond any judge's comprehension. Even if I should suggest a machine invented to evaluate feelings, that would be a faint solution to this problem. Along this regard, human as judges are, they will give way for their personal experiences in producing H20 out of their tear glands.

LovC' - so big- and surpassing - it has a thousand eyes and a thousand tongues. In everything, in any form of anything it takes a hand.

We read about it in his celebrated and immortal book, the "Noli Mc Tangerc". Its violt:nt ef~ects went to a head in the Plulippine Revolution of the last centur~·. But thanks to the advent of the Americans with educational and social reforms effecting a democratic way of life, the cancer which Rizal wrote about was checked and Ue~trcyed. Riz:il wa~ a born reformer, and if hu were alive today, he would have written about another disease In our civic chal'actcr much akin to the cancer he wanted destroyed in the past. This new cancer has rea1·ed its head within the few years following th·2 last wa1'. In his characteristically barb-edged wit and logical effusions, he would have come out to the fore and champior.ed the cause of checking and destroying our p1·csent vicious cancer. It is disheartening to note that even if our cancel' feed~ oH our democratic way of life, it do~·s not seek to exult it but tric!< to dc~ troy it. The more it grows, the more it saps the vitality of our freedom". The matchless patriotism of Rizal could never have allowed it to grow into such serious proportions as would cndan)!er our rights as a free people in a free country. But what is this, our current social cancer? It is no other than CIVIC INDIFFERENCE. It constitutes in the callous attitude of turning deaf cars and blind eyes to things and affairs which ouJ.rht to concern cv<'l'Y citizen of our ('(IUntry wcinh:: of the name. It is the ignoring and overlooking, wilfull Or otherwise, of one's duties and responsibilities and rights as a citizen, that discouragn,, LEO BELLO ing Jack of civic-consciousness. It also constitutes in that notorious want of concern for the activities of our government in carrying out its supl'eme duty and responsihility to promote the pnblic welfare and the t·ommon good. Thes<! and many other .. which have grossly corrupted the civic character of the Filipino citizen constitute our present social cancer. This Civic Indifference has been caused, generally speaking ln our rapidly dwindling sense of moral va· lues. That is so. because morality and religion are sometimes Ignored as infallible norms in guiding our a8.i!y activities. So much so that our public opinion have shown signs of becoming perverted. Thus we often hear remarks bluntly spoken on the question of a proven dishonesty of a public official, "If I were him, I would do the same thing." Others would say, "I don't care how he runs his office, provided I am not bothered in my pursuit of a livelihood," as if our country and our government are not the prime concerns of ever~· citizen, And complicating the ailment further. selfishness has come into the picture. Our once much-vaunted love of country and selfless attitude of cooperation and enthusiasm on civic matters have given way to extreme love of self and the shameles greed f'>l' ptower and pcrs1:1r.al aggrandizement. To the extent that i;ome fcei no compunctions in losing honor and their good narn.c in exchange for illgotten gains to feather their nests with. And the poor eitiz<.'n who fears repercussions and political persecutions if he raises a cry against what has hecn committed, folds his arms and keeps mum about it and the sorr~: state of things which shoulr! have been every citizen's deep concern . But in some cases, plain stupidity ~nd ~imple ignorance of citizens' rip;ht~ imd privileges in a dcmocra. tic country such as we have, are usually rampant causes of Civic Indiffc1encc. If we know 1:1ur rights we still have that ridiculous tendenc~· of never attempting to exert them, even if they are granted us b~· our Constitution and Jaws to protect us. Some of ns ar-? still grossly misinformed as to the duties and respon.;:ibilitics of our government to Jiromotf the comm<>n good, and the right of every citizen to raise a cry whencv<.'l' that government docs no' perform such obligations.

Page 22 lDqat is tqt <!tatqnlir <!tqurrq? The authenticity and indestructibility of the Catholic Church are truths which have attained the colosrnl proportions in the annals of man· kind. Many people falsely contend that the Catholic Church is not the true Church founded by Christ; that it has erroneously followed the precepts of the Divine Master, and has adopted beliefs unsupported by Holy Scripture. Such people are what . we may call Bible Christians or Pro· testants. The trut> Church must be historically traceable to the Apostles and to Christ, the Divine Founder, because apostolicity is one of her essential (haracteristics. No religious organization can be called apostolic, if after its sup)>osed foundation by Christ, it has failed to exist always. The Catholic Church is the only Church that can rightfully claim an uninter1upted connection with Christ and His apostles. Consequently, She is the only true Church, The tl·ue Church must be indestructible. (Mat. 16:18). By indestructihility we mean that in virtue ('f God's will that Church :;hall exist till the end of tim:?. With the gmdance of the Holy Ghost, it will un( nin,!!ly manifest the ligh'. of trnth, (John 16 :13), and wil: remain !.'ndural'-ly potent to dominate m::irally the l'Olrntl'i:?s of tl1c work~.

Bacalso or brought to destruction. "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdcm of Heaven and whatsoever thou ~halt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed fa Heav{'n .. , (Mat. 16:18-19). By tt.ose words our Lord promised the spiritual supremacy to St. Peter, n supremacy which took effect the third time that Jesus appeared in glo1·ious form to His disciples. On that ocr,:i.sion our Lord told Peter, "Feed my lambs, feed my sheep." (John 21 :15-17) Here Christ fulfilled that promise by charging him with the wperintendency of all His sheep \'lithout exception, and cor.sequently of Hi$ whole flock. that is His own Church. After having preached in J1 nrnalem, St. Peter went to Antiocl1 :;Jl() from thence prvceeded to thl' r·re!lt city of Rome. With utter dis· rcgarrl for tt.e safety of his life he hravecl the perils ,Jf the religioui; pPl'SCClltion waged against the Chl'islians in the Eternal City; hC' preaehed the gospel and later sue{'eeded in convel'ting the people to the new religion. Under the injunction of Nero, the Roman Emperor and persecutor of Christians, he died a l'IH1l'ty1·'s death in the year A.D. 67. Eusebius Pamphili, the Father of the Church history, tells us that St. Peter suffered and was crucified on the Vati{'an hill. D<'ubtlcss, thcro:!for!.'. Peter was as hishop of that C'ity and supreme head of the Church. Histor~· tells us thaL there has been an uninterl'upted succes.'lion of bishops of Rome sincC' the time of Petel'. The two hundred and .'lixty-two Roman pontiffs. from the pr~sent Pope, Piux XII, back to St. Peter, have been always consider{'d the supreme heads of th(' Churr,h. Thei:e 11.re historical facts-living truthi: which can never be gainsaid without falsifying important {'Venti: in history. Therefore the Church of St. Pe· ter ar.d his legitim:i.tC' successors is the true Church, and this is none vther than the Holy Roman Catholic Aposotolic Church .. Th Catholic Church from the remarkable day of its foundation ha!l suffered many persecutions. Since the time of Peter in Rome till the fourth century the Roman emperor!" had attrociousl~, persecuted and attempted to plunder the Church. During those days paganism existed all something very vital to the empire. The emperors, therefore, purposed to blot the Church from the face of the earth. But did the Church perish? Never did the Church suffel' death! Never did it become lost or extinct in any manner! Notwithstanding the severe austerity of heathenism, notwithstanding the brutal fierceness of persecution and ehaotic controversies, the Chureh'!'I ministers (successors of Peter) brave1l the perils, attacking paganism with the v.·eapons of intellect and ultimately suceeded in converting the pagans themselves to Christianity . In 1517 when Martin Luther, an Augustinian friar, rose against the Church and when a vast number of people were deluded to embrace Protestantism, a popular belief seemed to put the world off balance-that the Church would be effaced from the earth. Has that belief been confirmed by reality? Did the Church perish? Never did it perish or become lost in any ma Mer. On the contrary, in the midst of that religious crisis, the Chul'ch with persistent efforts fought against tht.o heretics, h'iumphed ovel' their spurious doctrines and was able to redeem many of the "Lost Lambs of Christ." Thu!l the fulfillment of our Lord's proph{'cy was realized. · The Chnl'ch has firmly an~ viC'torionsly withstood heresy. Now-adays there are more or less 250' clai:ses of Protestantism conflicting with one anolher in doctrine, and each attaeking the Catholic Church with intention of subjugating it. But the Church founded on thC' Roek being the true Church of God has been continuously strengthened :ind endowed with heavenly graecs ,.nd under the guidance of the Holy Ghost will endure forev{'I', for th{' Divine Master had firmly promised that "even the gates of hell {'an not prevail against it."

" To carry out his policies, he has introduced new ideas. He just initiated the putting out of a San Car. loa Low Review, a quarterly nrngazine which publishes syllabi of judiciary decisions illustrating clearly conflicting or difficult points of law. He on::anized the students to nttend a weekly Semi1w1· which is a i:-roup study wherein fll'C discussed conflictini:- points of law under thl! light of judiciary decisions. Law student!" ne chosen b~· shifts to conduct the Seminar with prepa?ation: and qucstio11!': are asked by the audience to be answered by the student conductine. The Dean revealed that his purpose in introducing the ·Seminar svstcm is two·fo1d: first, is to give the law students a chance for a groop discussion clarifying contro!'!ial issues of law; second, is to provide the 1aw students with an oppor. tunity to po1ish them in the art of argumentation and debate. Before we wind up our account, we take pleasure in quoting one more teslimonial of faith and confidence in the loyalty and devotion of Dean Pelaez to his Alma Mater as enunciated by Mr. Aurelio C. Fernandez, current Principal of the USC Boy's High School, who was himself our Dean's former teacher: "The late Mr. Quibilan had said so well of the Fulvio of pre-war ~·cars in one of the 1936 issues of the CARIOLINIAN. I will attempt to continue where Mr. Quibilan left off. "Others would be surprised to know that in 1945, San Carlos was reopened through the efforts of Fulvio and Father Hoerdemann. During those trying days of the reopening of San Carlos practically from scratch, I saw no other layl'l1an with Father Hoerdemann besides Fulvio. From then on, Fulvio laborer! devotedly and unselfishly with the SVD Fathers to make San Carlos what she is now. It would not bt> exriggeration to state that ~an Carles owE:s what she is. today to the C'fforts of the SYD Fathers and Fulvio. "I iim 11ot surp1·ired. therefore, with Fulvio's elevation to the deanship of the College of Law. As a mritter of fact, if Father Gansewinkel were only here since 1945. we would not have waited this long to sec Fulvio elevated ~~ the deanship. "As a former teacher of Fulvio, I sm very proud of him. I coni::idC'r his success a glorious episode of my life as a teacher. I am overwhelmed by my own feelings at realizing that, after all, the efforts of his forme~· teachers in instructing hint during his student days at- San Carlos, have been more than amply rewarded." And that about crowns our account of the excellent qualities of our Dean which al'e worthy of emulalion. He is on his job with increased ardor. That particular drive and stamina which he used to account for himself in the paSt in all u;s undi::rtaking·s are lhe same drive and force he employs in the performance of his new functions. Just as m the football fields of yesteryears, ou1· new Dean is still fighting and kicking even th0l1gh he is already on top; and although he has alreacly kicked the ball straight through the goal.

Per6n: "Una sola condici6n anhelo para el Pueblo Argentino: Que nuestra escuela la formen, ademcis de hombres sabios, hombres buenos y hombres prudentes. Hombres que ~men mas que el poder, la verdad: mis que la fuerza, Ia raz6n; y quienes por-_sobre todas las dernas con. sideraciones tengan amor a Dios, fe en las acciones oue El inspira y esperanzas que en El ponemos los t>ombres con nuestra infinita pequefiez frente a su infinita grrtndeza". Y con motivo del Congreso Interamericano rle Educaci6n Cat61ica, dijo en su mensaje a los dele.!!ados internacionales: "Sefiores que representciis a las Naciones H;ermanas de America: necid, que en let RepUMica Argentina, 1·ei1J.fL sob1·e tndas las cosaR un senUmiento profundamente c1isticmo: oue en esta tierra, donde se esta forjando una una nueva Argentina, Jos que Uevamos Ia Bandera, tenemos como gui6n la Cruz y como insviraci6n a Dios." Nuestra RepUblica tiene como fundamento solidisimo de su vida nacional, su fe cat61ica. Debe· mos contribuir a que ese fundamento perdure en nro de nuestra existencia naciomd y de nuestra libertad democratic~. porque bien ha dicho el catedrcitico y rarlamentarista argentino, Dr. Jose Manuel Estrada, "El principio de la democmcia es la· virtud cristiana" .

Necesita mas mi~ioncros y mas seminarios. Neceslta sostencr un formidable ejercito digno de la c:rnsa de Dios que eonq\dste el mun do para El. En la lr.rga serie de los dias que componen el aiio, hay algunos que los homb:es han consagrado a celebrar las grandes ideas y los grande~ afectos. Existe el Dia de la. Raza, el Dia de la Madre y el dia de la Patria, el Dia de) Estudio y tantos citros. l?el'·J si hay una idea grande en· tre todas, digna de toda adhesi6n y de todo cariiio entre los cristianos, C'S la idea de las Misiones. El dia consagrado a las Misiones, deberia Jlamarse el Dia de Dios, ya que la obra misional no peraigue otra cosa sino la extensi6n de! Reino de Dios )'IOr todo el mundo. Son las Misiones - er problema mlis gt an de en su intensidad y en su extensi6n que tiene hoy la Iglesia -12 <'Lra mas cat6lica que tenemos, la obra miis querida al cnraz6n de Je~ucristo. Pues, ;.que mBs querido pued(' hab\;r para El que la continuacic'in y el desarrollo de la obri\ que El mismo dej6 empezada en la tierra y fue objeto de ilus16n de su vida entera, de sus mBs amorosos mbtcr;os para los hombres como su Enearnaci6n, sus padecimientos, su muerte y su Resurrecci6n? Nini?una otra idea ni ningU.n .:itr.~ amor debiera inRamar m;is el coraz6n del cristiano, del sacerdote que la ii!'"n misional de sue11.e que dcbiera ocupar en todo tiempo i!IU pensamicnto, pues cada uno debiera i;er en todo tiempo el continuador de la Obra esencial de Jesueristo eolaborando en ella con su coraz6n y su inteligencia, su alma y sus fuerzas, sus trabajos, sus dolores y su plegaria. Mas ya que por muches rezones o :rrctextos no dedica1nos todos los dias a csc altisimo fin, a lo menos conn:gremos un dia en· el aiio- el do· mingo que antecede a la fiesta de Cristo Rey - a colaborar con el Seiior en su Obra, orando y sufriendo y trabajando por mas de millones de infieles y por mtis de centenares de millones de disidentes a fin de que Dios, movido por las oraciones y el dolor y cl trabajo de su Iglesia Santa, envie gracias cficaces que traigan al rcdil a los scparados lejanos. La mcit"·tidumbrc que en estos momcntos aqueja al mundo impidc, sobrc todo en las naciones trndicionalmcr.te misioneras l\e la vieja Europa, manchr sus recurses p::i.ra la~ l\fisiones. La Madre Iglesia vuelve los cj(•~ '' cstc archipie!ago, pc4ueiia hija, naci6n cucoristica y misionel'a: la fe i·ecil:.icia se paga con !a f~ JH··pagada. Recibimos la fe de Dios por el conducto de la Ei:pafia misioncrn y eterna, debemos devnlverla 11or 1"\li;,sh'o cor.ducto a I'>!' pueblos quc aU.n no la han recibido. No podemos olvidar la tenibl~ vcrrlad de que Diol'< muchas veces condic'.ona Ins gracias de la salvaci6n a las oracioncs de los hombres. Podemos orando y sufriendo eonve1·tir a nuestros hermanos infieles. El Dia Misional nos llama a ello. Est(' dia, es tambien de cooperaci6n misional en el orden material.

Si quisierarr,os seiialar la caractel'istica de los tiempos en que vivimos, no ha)" palabra mis oportuna quc la del epigrafe. La incertidumbre ha invadido todas las clascs ~0eiales d~ todos los paises; ha entrado en todas las familias e instituciones. Entre las naciones sigue la danza incierta entre la paz y la guerra; entre las elases sociales sigue aumentando el temor que engendra el odio, entre las unas y las otras. En el seno de la familia reina la incretidumbre econ6mica y n1oral; econ6mica, no hay seguridad de que el dia de mafiana se tendra trabajo, o se tendr& pan; incc.rtidumbre moral que es engendrado por el vaiven de Ios valores materiales y de los que se presentan como morales al individuo. Esta incertidumbre tiene sus efectos en la sociedad de nuestro tiempo: la superfieialidad, el poco am or al trabajo con el consecuente deseenso de la producci6n, la liviandad de costumbres, el mal gusto en las artes, etc. Cuando no hay seguridad el hombre procura vivir cl presentc, olvidindose de un pasado quizii inP'rato y no queriendo pensa.r en un futuro asaz sombrio. Los dirigentes de! mundo mientras tanto se alarman. sc reU.nen, proeuran busear las causas de estos males para poner ade· cuado remedio; se escriben memoria! Jes, se haeen discursos, se incita a la produeci6n, la cua.l se proeura obtcner por todos los medios. como si esta fuera todo en el mundo. Pero es inU.tit, la incertidumb1·c sigv.c propal'!andose hasta. ~convertirse a mcnudo en triste realidad. El hombre para no ser el juef.!,'o de! viento y de las olas. <le !::is s<icudidas sociales. debe nfirmar~" !<nbre una base s6lida. En los di,.~ ell! calma, muchas rocas parccen s6lidas oue no l11s ~on, muchos muros D"l'"'cen s6lidamente asentados en la tie1-r11, oue no la estin. ouc en medio de la tormenta sc parten v !<C quehr11.ian y derrumban con estrepito. Asi la humanidad habia nuesto su espel'"'nza, ~u fe en his eosas e::iducas rll' l:o tierra, buscando aciui abajo su .,1>1icidad. si.e:uiendo a los f11.lsoi; prof<"h!< oue lev11ntaron los f::ilsos dioQr>s rle 01·0, del individ110. del Estado, ,111 h riencia. Al llegar la tormenta esos edificios ciue pareeian s61idos se ban ido hundiendo y desapare~iendo de la vida de las multitudes; otros se levantan, siguiendo los mlsmos eaminos; pero esto no basta, el hombre comienza a sentir la nostalgia de otros dias y vuelve a buscar la seguridad donde Unicamente puede ha· llarse, donde la hallaron nuestros antepasados, eso es en la Fe y Esperanza, en Dios, en el cumplimiento sineero de las normas de conducta que inspira nuestra santa religi6n y· nos ensefia la conciencra. Es necesario que el hombre aparte su vista de los falsos dioses de\ mundo, y de sus profetas pues la luz artificial que expenden a su alrededor, sirve Unicamente para encandilar, no nara hallar el camino. El camino de la se,e-uridad, de la concordia, de la f'Stabilidad moral y material lo hallaremos por medio del Sol de la justicia, Cristo.
