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. Booklet lin a booklet entitled "The 'Cath die Viewpoint' on Overpopula .ion," Father ZiniunermAn writes, 'Confronted with the task of giv ng the 'Catholic viewpoint' on ere oulirnalisiml in li a I it 10:00 a.m. today. F"ollowing the registration, a offee hiour w ill be held at 11 l'lock. President, lobert L~. Sum vaIlt will give his welcoming ad Iress at this session, the response einig givenl by Ju olian L. Starr, Jr. f the "Lancaster News" and (hester lieporter." I S4: andmi the P'ress In his address, P'resident Sum valL says, "The University is very nutch aware of the importaince of Lavinig an illformed anid edlucated itizen ry in this age of continuing iisis, and is eqlually aware that he work you do and the work toe are dloinig compjlimient e a e h ther to the b)enefit of all." In conitinuing, Sum walt stresses, Y o u r understanding of our robleijis is a great help to us be ause you bring these problems nd possible solut ions to the at enltion of those who provide ex uerienice for our young people." Saturday's meetings will include general business session, a dis ussion of the Association's awards urogram, and presentation of the early awards to various papers nd moembers.

Harold C. looker, "Sumter Daily Item," will onduct the installation as secre anry emeritns of the Assodtn. s S W I 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.,? GA, ution Schedules 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 sity. The ratification of the SUSGA constitution clears the way for USC membership in that organiza tion upon payment of $25 yearly dues. The University has been on the Association's eligibility roll since the debates last fall which resulted in council's resignation from the National Student Asso ciation in a policy conflict. Council also received an invita tion to an SUSGA conference in April. Proposed Constitution The proposed constitution for the Carolina campus is also under consideratioi by oouncil. Debate originally scheduled for this week, was postponed until Monday's spe cial session because the judicial section of the three-part document is incomplete. Originally referred to the honor board, the section is now being prepared by a joint committee of the planners of the '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 sell hlouse information desk. In other business, council passed a resolution introduced by Staci Gaffos supporting the World Unmiversity Service drive which be ginis oni canipus Monday.
