SEATTLE — The people Peter
Blum deals with range from youngs
ters who become mentally fractured
trying to handle fractions to graduate
scholars struggling over calculus.
‘Tve had some nurses who can’t
do percentages — something that
can be vital to their job, ” Blum said.
‘Tve had carpenters who couldn’t
use geometry to figure out how much
material to use. 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. I find imuiE
warding. A lot of people cornels,
here starting to enjoy math afel
having been mystified.”

Enrollment in Blum’s school, now
about four years old, has about as
many ups and downs as a sine curve.
“I probably get more students
(from elementary to graduate level)
than anyone else, but there is a pret
ty close balance between students
and people who are looking to
another career or advancement in
their jobs, and I get more women
than men.”
Blum said the reason women out

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.

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.”
