Self & the Future. La Porte (pop. 25,000) was selected partly because it has no Catholic high school, partly because the local bishop, the Most Rev. Andrew Grutka of Gary, was willing to give the brothers a free hand in their approach to teaching. Setting up headquarters last September in a donated house, the Marists refurbished it with comfortable sofas and chairs; teenage volunteers renovated the basement, complete with pop posters, a jukebox, and pilfered street signs. Sessions for high school students are held three nights a week, from 7:30 to 9 o'clock; junior high students meet...
...hard way?" In the finale, a projector cast a few words from Schillaci himself on the screen: "As most of the world's ills are traceable to old imperatives, old superstitions and old fools, this church is exuberantly dedicated to the future."

...jacket cover is repulsive. It resembles the pop psychedelia used to sell Monkees' mysticism to 14-year-olds. If you bothered to decode the words "Incredible String Band," you still wouldn't buy--for fear of getting the New Christy Minstrels. The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion (Elektra Records) has been non-popular for months ("It sells about the level of Tim Buckley," reports a record store clerk); but it's of the same inventive class as John Wesley Harding and Sgt. Pepper...
...Kustow has his way, the ICA may soon be rocking to the rhythms of pop music. Plans are currently under way to link up with the Beatles' merchandising company, Apple, which would provide financial help to the ICA. In exchange, the ICA would develop shows to be launched at the Mall headquarters, later toured through the Beatles' projected chain of Sgt. Pepper Clubs. "Maybe in this way," Kustow says, "we can break out from being completely dependent on those two old-fashioned kinds of patronage: the private individuals and the government or foundation money givers...
