Spellman Says Christian Unity Chances Good
Vatican City — (UPI) — Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York said today that prospects are good for Christian unity arising from the 21st Ecumenical Council, the highest assembly of the Roman Catholic Church, which opens tomorrow.
"There are good prospects and everybody is tremendously interested," Cardinal Spellman told newsmen at the airport when he arrived this morning to complete the 225-member American delegation to the council. "I'm hoping and praying for the success of the council."
NEARLY 3,000 Catholic prelates and 50 non-Catholic "observer" and "guests" from all parts of the earth were on hand for the colorful opening ceremonies in the Basilica of St. Peter's, Mother Church of Christendom and largest in the world. Historically, this gathering will be known as the second Vatican Council, the first to be held in almost a century.
The purpose of the great council, as stated by Pope John XXIII, is to get his own church of a half billion members to "bring itself into step with modern times." In line with this, he extended a "gentle invitation" to other Christians to join with the Church of Rome, with the eventual aim of restoring universal Christian unity.
There was little hope of bringing this about immediately, but it is a long-range goal. Bishop Fred P. Corson, president of the World Council of Methodists and bishop for the Philadelphia area, made this clear when he commented that "we are here simply as observers, not as negotiators."
THE STATEMENT reflects feelings among many of the 50-odd non-Catholic observers and guests who accepted invitations to enter historic St. Peter's Basilica to watch the conclave of Catholics.
One task of the council is to discuss future possible ties among all Christian churches. Several protestors polled have said they came here in a spirit of "peaceful coexistence," but determined to maintain the independence they took 400 years ago.
Non-Catholic observers furthermore will not present any united front at the council. Corson said.
Latin Student Tops Teachers
It is one thing to be good in a language but still another to make a better grade in it than the teacher.
Jack D. Worley, Wichita senior and Latin major, did just that this summer during a six-week Latin study tour in Italy. He received one of two A's given for the course, besting 28 Latin teachers and graduate students.
Worley obtained his preliminary study in Latin at Wichita North High School. He plans to teach in the Kansas City area next fall.

"WHAT I did like was that discussion hinging on my letter prompted the passage of a stronger resolution."
Miss Snyder said she thought it was good that the ASC had decided to communicate with the University of Mississippi.
"However, despite the fact that I introduced this resolution, I think it is a shame and certainly regrettable we decided to send it in place of the letter written by Turner."
Phyllis Wertzberger, Lawrence graduate student, opposed both resolutions.

'liberal' north to understand the situation in the South, and most of us have not been brought up with these kind of prejudices instilled in us since we were children," Miss Wertzberger said.
"IT IS not up to a group of Northerners to tell a group of Southerners how to run their lives or to give approval on something they have done," she continued.
Another ASC member, Rab Malik,

not adopt Turner's letter, which he
described as "excellently written and
moderate in tone."

"However, the second resolution," he conceded, "was better than nothing."
Trudy Meserve, Abilene junior and vice-chairman, said:
"WHEN A body of student 'leaders' refuses a proposal because it may be objectionable to Southern people and then accepts a more stringent idea, there is evidently a lack of serious consideration.
"The whole discussion distorted my impression of a supposed 'thinking' group." Miss Meserve added.
to Cross's original proposal was on strict party lines.

Resolution to Go
STUCKKEY'S Vox Populi amendment was passed and the council voted to refer the issue to the Committee on Committees for further consideration. Cross's original proposal was opposed by the Committee on Committees because it placed polls in the houses of organized living groups.
The Committee on Committees' report on Cross's proposal said locating polls in some organized houses and not in others would give candidates from the houses with polls unfair advantages.
The ASC also decided to return to the Human Rights Committee a report submitted last year on fraternity discriminatory clauses. The committee was directed to submit an outline of its plans for further investigation into racial discrimination.
In other action, the council ratified the appointment of Jack Metusak, Wellington senior, to the Human Rights Committee.
