Michael Novak, who baa been
dlacrlbed aa the fir
CatooUc InteUectual.
Speaking to a capacity
audience at the Newman Center
Wednesday night, on the topic
The Layman and Dissent, Novak
expressed the Idea that
is not a v
but  is  based on understanding.
•If people dont make decisions
technology wUl simply take over
and make them," toe Stanford
University Instructor continued.
In the first half of his speech
Novak concentrated on the re¬
cently completed Ecumenical
Council and his opinions of two of
Its accompUshments. The first,
he states, was to "establish a
pattern of thinking In the form
of concentric circles concerning
church policy decisions."
He explained that In the past
the CathoUc Church had build
up an unconscious Imagery de¬
scribed as a "pyramid of
decision.'
In this pyramid, pressing de¬
cisions   of the  church  organl-
Amertcan      dUemma and attempted to remedy
representing men before God.
"Men get their responstoUlty di¬
rectly from God only later does

The function of the Pope In
this respect Is to be a single
voice speaking out tor the church
which can't avoid taking risks
or escape responsibility. "The
church Is Involved because men
are Involved,* he believes.
Another charge brought out by
the councU was the changing
church poUcy on dissent. The
spirit grows where lt wUl and

The spirit of Ideas will speak

duty of the church bishops Is
to test Ideas not to crush them.
Novak cited an example of this
thinking with the changing church

policy of Intermingling with Pro¬
testants and exchanging ideas,
in this area from segregation of
religions to a poUcy of working
and studying with others,"
A sub-topic of Novak's speech
was the shift to cultural patterns
In America and its effect on re¬
ligion. He expresaed a belief that
toe strength of religion to
America was preserved by family
and local tradition.
■Today's transient society is
putting aside folk religion to such
an extent that this generation is
wondering U they really beUeve
In eternity or God,* he continued.
He explained that the problem
Is Inescapable for today's gener¬
ation because of It's freedoms
and the result wUl be that folk
religion can't endure tho change.
The Ecumenical CouncU re¬
cognized this problem and began
to see that paternalistic religion
must adjust itself to a free think¬
ing generaUon which asks ques¬
tions," Novak continued.
He delved more Into tho prob¬
lem with toe Idea that for years
the Church stressed obedience
as a virtue for layman and now
lt begins to recognize better
the balues of courage, decision
and understanding.
•Inactivity on the part of the
people have left the Church In a
dUemma on many subjects, and
they must speak out and express
their beliefs, and only then can

rectors and then be voted on by
members of toe Association) aa
weU as a direct call by 10 per
cent of the voting members of
toe Association. The latter
method would bypass toe Senate
and too Board.
Because lt was felt by most
members of toe committee that
10 per cent of the Association
members could too easUy be
mustered by a "minor pressure
group", lt was decided to change
the requirement to 15 per cent
or 1,500 students, whichever waa
toe smaller number.
In any case, such a call tor
an amendment would stUl have
to be approved by a two-thirds
majority of toe total votes cast
In the election. Members of toe
committee feared, because of
past voting records which point to
small voter turnouts, that even
two-thirds majority could be
mustered by not many more votes
than toe number of students who
slghned toe original peUtlon.
The committee decided to leave
the direct method In toe bylaws
In order to aUow recourse to
case an amendment was kUled
In toe Student Senate or Board
of Directors.
Since the bylaws wlU be also
contain a provision stating any
amendment Is subject to final ap¬
proval by the coUege president, a
smaU, "radical" element would
be unable to push through an
amendment not accpetlble to toe
coUege's "best Interest"anyway.

Social Work No Longer
Has 'Belly Filler' Image
There has been a change in con¬
cept from toe former relief work¬
er Image to one that more accur¬
ately convey a toe true role of toe
social worker to today's society,
believes Thomas M. Brigham,
director of toe coUege's Division
of Social Work.
No  longer should toe social
"belly filler" Image of one who
processes relief roll lines, he
remarked.
Brigham explained that pubUc
welfare aspect of social work
makes up a relatively smaller
part of toe picture today.
Brigham said, Today our
graduates work largely to toe
areas of mental hygiene, correc¬
tions, family counclling and group
services," reflecting the de¬
mands of present-day society
on the social work schools around
the country.
In three years the department,
or division, at Fresno State has
grown from thai of a subsection
of another department to a full
division   with    separate  school
•In   "
tall of 1962, we had
two faculty members and 60 un¬
dergraduate students," Brigham
noted. Today we have 17 faculty
members teaching 168 under¬
graduates and 65 fuU-Umo grad¬
uate students."
If toe division continues to keep
pace with toe demands that states
such as California are making on
lt and other schools of social
work, lt may rival toe Division of
Arts and Sciences to size and
scope   before   too many years
Brigham attributes toe growth
of his division, aa weU as that
of other schools of social work,
to a combination of factors;
There has been a tremendous
national pressure tor social
workers to recent years. For
example, California could use all
the MSW (a two-year graduate
degree) graduates turned out In
both toe United States and Ca¬
nadian schools each year."
According to Brigham, CaU-
fornla estimates toe annual need
of graduates In toe social work
division at around 3,000. The
six graduate schools to California
turn out some 300 MSW graduates
Secondly, growth has resulted
from the tact that the area of
social work has simply broaden¬
ed as society has grown to size

Brigham reported he haa no
difficulty to placing his MSW
graduates because of the tre¬
mendous demand. Starting salar¬
ies range from $7,500 per year
up to $10,000.
One unusual factor about toe
social work division at Fresno
State la that there la to almost
exact reversal in
to women graduates aaco
to toe national picture, Brigham
pointed out.
"Whereas to the past toe field
of social work has been largely
dominated by women, i
percentage of w
jobs running around 70 per cent,
we graduate about 70 per cent
males," he said.
Only 65 of toe 200 applicants
were accepted for entrance Into
the two-year graduate program
this past fall, although funds In toe
form of stipends are available to
those who do qualify.
Brigham reported that for toe
$20,000 which, because of lack of
qualified applicants, was not dis¬
tributed.
Allowances tor one academic
year run to $2,700 tor a student
with dependents and to $1,800 tor
a student with no dependents.
Persons granted these stipends
are required to sign a legally
binding agreement to accept em¬
ployment to a county welfare de¬
partment to California or with the
State Department of Social Wel¬
fare. They are expected to remain
to such employment tor one
calendar year for each academic
year of professional education In
a public assistance or child wel¬
fare program.
They must also take a written
examination to qualify for em¬
ployment.
