I get people who want to go back to school after 25 years and are afraid they can’t pass a math test. “And I get a lot of parents who don’t want to transmit their own bad “Many women of the over-30 generation generally were brought up to believe that math was not im portant to their future, but in this era with more and more working women they find basic math is important in many jobs. ” With each student, Blum first tries to determine just where he or she became disenchanted with math. “Often, I find a fear developed. When we trace it back, they (stu dents) associate math with bad feel ings. They may have been insulted by a teacher or shamed by fellow students.” He said he tries to establish a re laxed atmosphere. He uses movies and cartoons as instructional aids. Blum, who has taught at the Uni versity of Washington and the Uni versity of Rochester in New York State, said he prefers his present work. “It’s much more exciting than teaching the standard unhilj classes because it requires so® more techniques.

Notary Public. 823-7723.. .76tfn JOB (OPPORTUNITIES G Historic Jesus United Press International WASHINGTON — The antiwar protests of the so-called Catholic Left during the 1960s and early 1970s made the Roman Catholic church more politically liberal but left many activists alienated from the institutional church. Charles A. Meconis represents that irony. He was a young priest active in the Catholic Left who has since left the priesthood and is now program director for the Seattle Peace Action Coalition. But he stressed that the cutting of institutional ties, for himself as well as others in the movement, did not mean losing religion. “For myself, while my institution al connection has been weakened in the sense that I’m no longer active in the priesthood, I’ve found my own Catholicism strengthened and deepened and found that it was only when I was at a point where I was up to my eyeballs in activism that I’m driven to pray,” he said in an inter view. Meconis, whose thesis on the sub ject was published as “With Clumsy Grace, said that while he would not give the Catholic Left sole credit for moving the church from conserva tive positions in the 1950s to more liberal ones at the end of the 1970s, the movement “did have a significant impact on the Catholic church. *1 CAMPUS 7:45 & 9:45 » ... f . « THE OF ZEND A. A um PICTURE Led by such activists as the Berri- gan brothers, Daniel and Philip, the Catholic Left was known for antiwar protest centering around civil dis obedience that included draft card burnings and pouring blood on draft board files. But the Catholic Left had its most important impact on the church on another level. “A lot of people not in the core of the movement but who sympathized with it are now in middle manage ment positions within the church,” Meconis said. “And there are literal ly thousands of nuns, who didn’t get arrested but who were sympathiz ers, who made sandwiches and things like that, who have now been teaching children for a decade. That has to have an impact. ” “In the hierarchy, too, there has been a shift. Archbishop (John) Quinn (president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops) now speaks out aginst the neutron bomb. It is not only the Catholic Left that produced this, clearly,” Meconis said. “But, again, it had an impact. M econis believes lawbreaking separated the Catholic Left from tra ditional Catholic social movements such as the Catholic Worker and the secular antiwar movement. “The Catholic Worker people had drawn the line at action in a clearly pacifist way,’ ’ M econis said, “and that was precisely the birth of the Catholic Left.” On the other hand, the secular movement criticized the Catholic Left as “moralistic, mindless and masochistic, saying its lack of a sophisticated economic analysis and its moral opposition towarriij “height of folly.” The downfall of the movetl according to Meconis, was these] tional Harrisburg trial of the Rev.
