To Accept Catholic in White House
By JERHIE MARKOS
(Continuing in our series of
prococnlice comments on the
issues of the day, The Dady Col
legian presents this week’s topic
"Are toe ready for a Catholic
president?" Today's guests are Dr.
Ilenry 8. Alhinski, i nstructer in

Soranf. assistant professor of po

cally better prepared today
than ever before to accept a
Catholic in the White House,

religion and didn't make it a vital
issue.
Moat of the resistance to a
Catholic president is not over
true issues but just an opposition

and Eugene McCarthy are both

Dear Dr. Frood: Do you believe in the

Dear English: All rot. I have done con

prove that Marlowe was actually Bacon,
and that Bacon (who was a bit of a ham)
was, in reality, Marlowe, and that Shake

Needless to say, this letter is not for

Dear Millicent: Your secret is safe with
me. I’ve left strict instructions not to print
our correspondence. Confidentially, how
