The bishop asked the monastery's principal artist, Fray Gabriel Chávez de la Mora, to help him refurbish the city's 400-year-old cathedral. Gloomy Victorian clutter was stripped away, revealing priceless 17th century murals, and the neoclassic high altar was replaced by a simple modernistic sanctuary designed by De la Mora.

A campaign such as this could have a real mass appeal, bringing about the kind of unity between students and non-students which could never result from a drive to abolish the 2-S deferment. We should support those 3 non-students, Samas, Mora, and Johnson, white, Puerto-Rican, and Negro working class youth in their refusal to go to Vietnam...
