Laredoan Brother Marcos
Pronounces Final Vows
Brownsville — Brother
Marcos Longoria, F.M.S.,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Juan
Longoria, Jr., of 1609 San
Jorge street, Laredo, Tex-
as, pronounced his perpetu-
al vows as a member of
the Marist Brothers of the
Schools. The ceremony took
place during Mass on Sept.
21 at St. Joseph Academy,
Brownsville, Texas. Bishop
Humberto Medeiros, of
Brownsville, concelebrated
Mass with Father Ronald
Anderson.
Brother Marcos attended
St. Joseph Academy in
Laredo, Texas, and finished
his junior high school at a
Marist training house in
Morelia, Mexico. In 1958,
he transferred to Marist
Preparatory in Esopus,
New York, and graduated
from there in 1961, with a
New York State Regents
Diploma. Brother Marcos

pletion of his first year, he
was formally received into

(National Register Special)
Mexico City
In Mexico City the death rate among
university students has been sharply in-
creasing since last July.
One night it was 27 killed by gunfire,
the next night 40, according to police
records.
But the newspapers and students say
it is much higher, maybe double. And the
numbers critically wounded are unknown,
because no reporters are allowed by the
police to enter the hospitals.
Various sources claimed that hundreds,
including women and some children, were
wounded and that between 1,000 and
1,500 had been arrested. If those figures
are not correct, they soon will be if the
rioting and repression continue.
THE FIGHTING has been going on
sporadically since July 23 when police
used particularly harsh measures to
break up a fight between two groups of
students. As a result both high school
and university students have been on
strike for two months now in protest
against the brutality.
The federal government, worried over
the possibility that the Olympic games
may' have to be cancelled, has accused
the student organizations of trying ‘ to
overthrow the government. The students
deny this along with charges that they
are subversives or revolutionaries.
The students claim that all they want
are the rights which are now supposed to
be guaranteed them by the Constitution,
namely, the right to free speech, right of
assembly, and the presentation of griev-
ances.
According to the New York Times,
the students "despise the corruption they
are convinced exists on every level and
walk of Mexican life.” Furthermore they
demand freedom "for all prisoners they
believe have been jailed for political rea-
sons; abolition of sections of the penal
code that punishes subversion and acts of
public disorder; removal of the Mexico
City police chief; elimination of the Mexi-
co City riot police; investigation of official
responsibility for the brutality last July
and compensation for its victims.”
BECAUSE that was their reaction to
the relatively minor fracas in July, there
seems little hope that the present vio-
lence will be put down easily or without
a long struggle.
The president of the Mexican Bishops’
Information Center said the students
have real grievances and that the repres-
sion of the youth movement "would be
like throwing gasoline on a fire.”
This attitude is further corroborated by
a public statement issued by 43 Mexican
priests from various dioceses and
published in a recent issue of Informac-
iones Catolicas Internacionales.
The priests said that in their opinion,
"in Mexico we are experiencing a socio-
political process that finds more forceful
expression in youth and creates a crisis
among student youth especially. For that
reason we believe that recent events that
began last July 23 in the student milieu
have assumed characteristics that .are
important for the whole nation and don’t
affect just students and their professors.”
The statement went on to declare that
the conflict cannot be localized in the
field of higher educat ion or viewed in iso-
lation from the problems of the whole
country. They asserted that during this
period of violence "the dignity of some
persons had been openly violated by cal-
umny, insult, forcible repression and by
trickery.”
IN SUMMING up their position, the
priests decried the "systematic use of
force, of psychological means of control of
people, the stubbornness of those who op-
pose all change so that they may contin-
ue to enjoy their special privileges.”
In the positive conclusion to their let-
ter, the priests went on record as favor-
ing respectful and frank dialogue in the
search for domestic peace, needed reforms
in the university and in education and
the creation of a new society based on
more just structures.
'They concluded by declaring they
shared the hopes of our young people,
convinced that "if the risks they run are
great, even greater are. their chances to
build a better Mexico for the future.”

Amazing New High Protein
Food Being Sent to Biafra
Pronounces Final Vows
Mr. and Mrs. Juan Langoria, Jr., and their son, Brother Marcos Lango-
ria, F.M.S., are shown with Bishop Humberto Medeiros after Brother Mar-
lounced his final vows at Brownsvill
New York — One of the
relief items being shipped
to Biafra under the aus-
pices of Catholic Relief
Services was desribed by a
CRS spokesman here as "a
major technical break-
through in food production”
and one of modern biolo-
gy's "most potent weapons
against starvation.”
A ton of the special food,
marine protein concentrate
(MPC) was flown from
Kennedy International
Airport here to the island
of Sao Tome, staging area
for the Biafra airlift. In
the same shipment were
other kinds of high protein
food and four ground pow-
er units for servicing air-
craft used in mercy flights
to Biafra.
Marine protein concen-
trate, CRS noted "is made
from whole ground fish
and as little as six grams
daily will be sufficient to
relieve and reverse the ef-
fects of the physical pain
and organic breakdown
caused by severe protein
deficiency.”
do-
nated to CRS by its pro-
ducers, Alpine Marine Pro-
tein Industries, Inc. CRS
purchased 10 additional tons
for shipment within a few
days of the first ton.
In cases of protein defi-
ciency, CRS reported, "one
ton of MPS can provide
the life-saving equivalent
of 150,000 child-days of
health.”
