Catholic Pj
Views On I
The Catholic view on birth con
trol will be explaiied to interested
persons by Father Anthony Zim
merman, a specialist who has done
xtensive research and writing on
the problem of overpopulation.
Father Zimmerman will speak
n the auditorium of the Business
Administration building at 8 p.m.,
Feb. 23 under the sponsorship of
-he Newman Club, the Catholic
-tudent organization. The lecture
s open to the public with no ad
nission charge.
Anthony Zimmerman, S.V.D.,
;.T.D., worked as a Divine World
Missionary in Japan during 1948
i2. le was an assistant pastor and
ecturer at two state colleges and
it the Catholic University in
Nagoya.
Ptuli'Iked4 114mok
His graduate studies in theology
Ind sociology at Catholic Ulniver
iity resulted in publication of his
mok, "Overpopulation," in 1957.
Father Zimmerman now teaches
oNal theology at the Divine Word
Semainary at ''ecliny, Ill., but will
ietirin to Japan in April.
Many of Father Zimnimerman's
iirticles have caused considerable
-ontroversy in theological and
mociological circles because the ap
)roach is a radical departure from
the usual popular material on
>verIpopla ation.

In conitinuing, Sum walt stresses,
Y o u r understanding of our

Aonstit
Piest Tells
opulation
Rev. Dr. Zimmerman
overpopulation, I frankly find my
self puzzled. The not-so-subtle in
ference is that the Catholic Church
is for overpopulation, the scien
tific world against.
"If there is a polarization of
opinion on overpopulation, it is
more pronounced in the opposition
of physical scientist to social sci
entist than of Catholic to any
svientist. Catholics ure found on
both sides of the issue and in be
tween."
In discussing statistics on popu
latioi growth and living resources,
he says, "A comparison reveals
that living resources are outstrip
ping population at a reassuring
pace."
Standing Ito Ony
As for mathematicians who pre
dit that, "all the standing room
will be taken in 730 more years
. . . leaving only five square feet of
solid earth for each (person),"
lie says, ". . . it is demographic
tionsense. . . ."
Surplus births and expanding
life cycles are the twin expansion
factors, according to Father Zim
merman. The latter is a temporary
phenomenon, and the cause of the
sudden "population explosion." It
is destined to end with or without
birth control after sev'eral genera
tionis.
"Crude mortality rates will rise
because of the large o1ld-age group;
e'rude birth rates will probably
fall berause they will be measured
against an increasing concentra
tioni of persons in the upper years
o~f life," he continued.
l'roiinig For icreasesa
On providing for increases in
p)opulation, lFather Zimmerman
says, "Superficial observers...
forget that it is not primarily we
who feed them, but they who feed
themselvyes." . . . "The equation
be(tween the number of mouths to
be fed andl the number of hands
that feed them is not being altered
by an equal multiplication of both."
On the subject of birth control,
he has this to say, "Birth control
is a clumsy, slow, ineffective,
uncertain, inhumane, unnatural,
and immoral method of solving
overpopulation. . . .
"The newv contraceptive pill may
eliminate the survival of the
morally unfit-families and na
tions who abuse it to frustrate the
intrinsic purpose of nature's sacred
nmarriage' act."
in conceluLsioni, he says, "Well
intentioned persona sometimes try
to help in the oddest of ways. We
all know them-.-back seat driver,
kibitzers, grandstand coaches. Is it
p)ossible that birth control promo
ters, in trying to extend the prac
tice among their fellow men, are
indulgine a similar ...oc.,?

Special
Session
Constitutional concerns domi
nated this week's session of stu
dent council as members ratified
the constitution of the Southern
Universities Student Government
Association and set Monday as the
date for a special session to dis
cuss the proposed student govern
ment (onstitution for the Univer

since the debates last fall which
resulted in council's resignation
from the National Student Asso

April.
Proposed Constitution
The proposed constitution for
the Carolina campus is also under
consideratioi by oouncil. Debate

'legislative and executive sections.
Sam Freed expressed confidence
that the section will be ready for
cIsideration with the (Ither ar
tieles Monday.
The executive anid legislative
portions were submitted to council
for study. President Jim Leventis
directed attention to Article 11, See
tion 11 which provides for im
peachiment of members of student
government upon complaint by
any student to the secretary of the
student body. Amendmients are ex
I)ected to alter this section to pre
velit possible misuse.
Student Referendum
It passed by student counnCil.
the new constitution Will be sub
miitted to a studeit body referen
dmiii and, if approved, will go to
a final vote by the faculty.
Both Leveitis and Freed have
expressed the hope that a stronger
student government will mark the
beginnimg of campus political par
ties.
Levenitis statted that Monday's
special session of council is opemi
to all interested parmties and said
that colpies of the piroposed conm
stitution are available at the Itus
