(CPS)-A proposed change in
Catholic Church doctrine is bring-
ing about a showdown between
church officials and, on the other
hand, administrators and faculty
members at the nation's 237
Catholic colleges, many of whom
claim the church is unnecessarily
challenging their freedom to teach
students.
At issue is a proposed canon
law which would stop anyone
without official church approval
from teaching theology at a
Catholic college.

The Alamo Chapter of the Air Force Association will award a
local student one $200 scholarship. The winner will go on to
compete for five sholarships awarded by the State Association (one
$1,250, one $750, one $500, and two $250). The competition is
determined by the winning essay of 500-600 words. The topic is
"Portrait of a Responsib!a American Citizen." Information and
applications are sent to all schools. Deadline for entry is November
30,1982.
says Father James Provost, asso-
ciate professor of canon law at

"It will no doubt affect the
teachers of theology directly," he
notes, but it's still unclear just
what criteria the church will use to
approve or disapprove of
teachers.

"In a way," Wiley admits,
"the book became not so much a
parody, but also a small little
novel about this mythical college
somewhere. We try to suggest a
relationship between instructors
and their classes. It seems
appropriate to have a lesbian

an affair with the president."
Wiley says college officials are

kind of institution we are. And
unfortunatley, they used Mount
Merry as the title. But it's not
viewed as anything awful."
"Actually," Frazier continues,
"it might enhance our publicity a

of the way the private colleges
used to market themselves."
"I know I've seen a lot of the

students bring it by. Really,
we've all enjoyed it immensely."
But out of a half-dozen schools

"Academic freedom," he
argues, "has limitations."
The prospect of a showdown
between campus and Vatican over

Connolly, a layman like many of
the theology instructors at Catho-
lic schools, unsure about his
career.
"I would hate for us, Catholic
and lay instructors alike, to be in a
position where our jobs would
depend on receiving or not
receiving an ecclesiastical man-
date. If that happens," he notes,
"it would clearly be an infringe-
ment of our academic freedom,
and I think I would be reluctant to
even accept that as part of my
contract."
