...Harvard expelled two and suspended 14 of the 24 mainly white students who imprisoned a dean in his University Hall office last November. Still pending is the case against 36 blacks who occupied the same building earlier this month in an unsuccessful attempt to force the university to employ more black construction workers on campus projects. If the undergraduates in this group are ousted, it will cut black enrollment at Harvard and Radcliffe colleges by about one-eighth. Still upset over the school's hiring practices, black students announced that they were boycotting classes...
...back to 1968, when San Antonio's parochial schools were in deep financial trouble -like others across the U.S.-and Archbishop Robert Lucey halted all diocesan subsidies for three of the city's twelve Catholic high schools. One of the three schools was located in a wealthy white neighborhood, and it easily survived by raising tuition. Another, situated in a lower-middle-class area, gave up and closed its doors. It is now a warehouse...
...work is being staged, illustrated with color slides, tinkled through by tiny orchestras, blasted over by huge ones, shouted by great singers and squeaked by small ones. In New York and San Francisco, people are paying to sight-read the choruses at "Messiah sing-ins," and at the White House, President Nixon heard a 30-minute sample. One way or another, Handel's Messiah these days is as omnipresent as its namesake-and just about as worshiped and abused...
...will be much the same and just as necessary. Negro and Jewish influences may very well enrich the Christian tradition. As the Rev. J. Archie Hargraves notes, the Negro has two contrasting virtues: "soul" and "cool." He has learned to blend both, which may provide a useful example to white Christians needing to balance the passionate and the rational in their lives. From Judaism, suggests Rabbi Marc Tanenbaum, Christians could profitably take the ideas of "peoplehood" and "holy worldliness," for both may be central in the religions of the future...
Traditional methods, imaginatively used, have resulted in crowded Masses at New Orleans' St. Francis de Sales Roman Catholic Church. The white frame building once stood in an equally white section of town, but now the central-city area is black. To meet the needs of the new congregation, Father Joseph Putnam, 40, its white pastor, employs more than one kind of tradition. The freewheeling Sunday services, though Catholic in ritual, are heavily Black Baptist in flavor. Music Director Alexander Rankins, a Negro, pounds an old upright piano, leading the al-tarside choir in standard Negro spirituals and other numbers from...
