een-Agers Want Option
o Plan Own Activities
Milwaukee — (NC) —
een-agers are less in-
lined to be joiners, but
ey want more opportuni-
y to plan and conduct
eir own activities and
rograms.
Msgr. Thomas J. Leo-
ard, director of the divi-
ion of youth activities the
nited States Catholic
onference, made that ob-
rvation here.
He spoke to priest-direc-
rs and lay leaders during
Catholic Youth Organiza-
ion regional conference.
He told participants re-
resenting Illinois, Iowa,
issouri and Wisconsin
at the main complaint
oung people register
against adult leaders is
their dictatorial attitudes.
Msgr. Leonard said: "Or-
ganizations, in general, are
in trouble as far as young
people are concerped. And,
it would seen that teen-
agers are not as interested
in serving organizations as
they were 10 years ago.
"Even among youth or-
ganizations, provided we
treat them properly, our
purpose is to serve the
needs of youth.
"The biggest single gripe
from youth is that their
adult advisors or directors
are the only ones who can
think and that all the kids
have to do is carry out
their programs.

"Young people like ad-
ults are not infallible, and
I’m not saying we’d be
reduced to assive props,
but it is ti.. vhole style in
which we give leadership
that we’re trying to
change.”
Msgr. Leonard said it is
not a question of whether
CYO is relevant but rather
that the organization must
be kept loose enough and
adaptable enough to Meet
the needs of youth.
He noted that program
services provided through
his department may not
always be acceptable to all
dioceses. But he said na
tional programming can
serve as a basis for local
areas if they are adjusted
to individual needs.
He cited a need to en-
courage young priests,
seminarians, laity and
youth to get involved in
CYO programs and activi-
ties because a "vast major-
ity of people do have some
thing to contribute” to an
organization.
Msgr. Leonard indicated
that a common misconcep-
tion among many young
priests is that CYO is only
a basketball program.
He explained: "A lot of
young priests have an idea
that CYO is nothing more
than a sports program, a
basketball league, and that
they were never ordained
to run a basketball
league.”
Part of the conference
focused attention on the
need for better cooperation
between Confraternity of
Christian Doctrine and
CYO programs. The con-
sensus was that both pro-
grams generally involve
the same group of young
people and that their needs
could be served by a com-
bined directorship.
Msgr. Leonard also de-
scribed in detail newly
developed CYO programs
called "Impact," primarily
designed to motivate and
train adults and leaders
and advisers.
He said Impact aims at
trying to overcome dictato-
rial attitudes of adults,
developing to change in
attitudes of youth and en-
couraging self-reliance on
all levels.
He said: "Impact is very
natural in methodology.
It’s a training in natural
dynamics in things that
happen when groups get
together.”
He stressed that it is not
something for parish use
but was designed to be
implemented by a diocesan
staff for adults and youth
in parishes.
He said although a re-
source manual already has
been prepared the next
step would be to present
model programs, such as
weekend training sessions
for adult leaders.
He noted that Impact is
based on development of
natural leadership and a
reflection of strong Chris-
tian principles. He said it
was not the "final answer
but the latest knowledge
in behavioral science”
which was designed by a
Washington organizational
development firm.
Msgr. Leonard said suc-
cess of the program has
been recorded in tested
techniques in the arch-
diocese of Newark and the
diocese of Natchez-Jackson,
Miss.

Spanish Martial Law Aimed
At ‘Conspiracy and Subversion’
Madrid
"We are going to defend
. . . the right of Spaniards
to study, to teach, to work
and to better their lives in
peace ard tranquillity.”
These were the words
Spanish Information Minis-
ter Manuel Fraga Iribarne
used in explaining the re-
cently imposed modified
martial law that suspends
civil rights for at least
three months.
It is aimed at a conspira-
cy to "plunge the country
into a wave of confusion
and subversion,” he said.
A statement by the
government said the emer-
gency action was taken
because of "minority ac-
tions systematically direct-
ed at disturbing the peace
of Spain and its public
order.” It blamed "an in-
ternational strategy affect-
ing many countries.”
Frage said that the "so-
cial and political health of
the country is excellent.”
The alleged conspiracy of
unnamed "minorities.” he
added, fed on the generous
naivete of our youth to
lead them to an orgy of
nihilism, anarchy and diso-
bedience.”
Students have been de-
manding decmoratic asso-
ciations free of government
control.
The "state of exception,”
decreed suddenly by the
Cabinet on orders of Chief
of State Francisco Franco,
gives police and the mili-
tary sweeping powers to
search and arrest anyone
and to detain suspects in-
definitely.
The suspension of civil
rights extends a similar
crackdown in the nothern
Basque provinces torn by
"separatists" unrest and
violence and student agita-
tion.
It was the first time a
state of exception has been
applied to Spain since
Franco came to power in
1939 at the end of the
Spanish civil war.
As part of the suspension
of rights guaranteed by
law, full press censorship
was resumed for the first
time in 23 months, since
the enactment of the -new
press censorship law.
The Jan. 24 government
crackdown which took the
country by surprise, fol-
lowed by a few hours the
closing of the large Un-
iversity of Madrid, a hot-
bed of student protests
against the government,
and by a few days the
shutting down of the Un-
iversity of Barcelona be-
cause of similar student
agitation.
The latter institution
was closed Jan. 16 "until
further notice” after a
group of students invaded
the office of the rector,
Manuel Albadeljo, and
tried to throw him out of
his office window.
There has been little
academic activity in Barce-
lona or Madrid for some
months because of student
assemblies, strikes, demon-
strations and clashes with
the police. Students have
been demanding democratic
associations free of govern-
ment control.
The cabinet’s decree sus-
pended five articles of the
Spanish Bill of Rights.
They include open ex-
pression for Spaniards "as
long as they do not go
against the fundamental
principles of the state"; the
right to live anywhere with-
in the national territory;
the inviolability of domi-
cile, whereby entry of a

Joint Religious Effort Hailed
Orlando. Fla. — The
need for joint religious
leadership as a force for
community betterment was
stressed by Bishop William
D Borders of Orlando at a
Sabbath service in Temple
Lraei here.
Presented to one of the
city’s largest Jewish
congregations by Rabbi
Morris Feldman, the bish-
op said that, on a commu-
nity. regional, national and
world level, spiritual lead-
ership which includes all
- "Christians, persons of
the Jewish faith and cul-
ture, and humanists” — is
the sore need of the hour.
He cited the following
shared truths, virtues and
ideals: The written word of
God; the providential love
and support of God; the
virtues of faith, confidence,
and love; a just and realis-
tic evaluation of the digni-
ty of the human persons; a
common interest in peace;
and deeper and broader
knowledge of each other
and the contributions that
each church and temple is
making in society.
