In his letter to the federation, the Pope thanked the students for: The material aid which your efforts and sacrifices have made available . . . but more valuable will be the encour agement which they (the benefited stu dents) will derive from the knowledge that in their difficulties and privations they can count on the moral support and sympathetic understanding of the Catholic College Students of America.

Students Make Featherbrained Friends; Can't Tell a Bird Without a Beak Book I am a bird-watcher. Like the late George Apley, and the quick John Fos ter Dulles, I belong to that select so ciety whose greatest cctasy in this life is charting an oriole's wing span or the chortle of a marsh wren, who would rather lie half-submerged in a pond studying a curlew's bill than be snug and warm at home like the more humane (but less dedicated) people I know. Until you've bird-watched, life is a void. The typical bird-watcher rises before dawn and heads for the open road. Tweedily attired, clutching a spyglass in one moist palm, he searches for the IDEAL SPOT. The perfect locale for bird-watching would be a marshy sea shore with a fresh water lake nearby. Essential, too, is an easily accessible woods, an aban doned clay pit, an arid desert, a dry meadow, and if at all possible, a low level mountain range . . . catalystic conditions for the sport. Fling yourself to the earth and fran tically adjust the sights of your glasses. Now, carefully scan every bush, branch, stone, reed, tree, and twig. If you catch a movement, center your sights on the spot with your right hand while your left steals to your Birds Everyone Should Know guide. Make this a smooth working operation, for any disturbance will frighten your subject. Next you debate whether the feathered biped is a Wood Peewee or an English Sparrow . . . distinguishing marks: one is .5 inches longer than the other. Another movement strangely no bird flashes before your eyes. Only a fellow bird-watcher strides past, anx iously seeking a woodcock. A car passes on the road several yards away, and birdwatchers hang from the windows, shouting Anything today? Only ducks huh? They speed on. You are momentarily befuddled. If the birds can't see you, how could bird-watchers? In front of you, a yellow breasted mcadowlark hurries by, muttering an grily to himself until he reaches a Tcmpus is fugiting; already spring has sprung. Having survivied the del uge of April showers, we find May flowers and the happy lilt of spring time. And scanning the activity that prevails, we see that many of the stu dents are immune to the fever common in the season.

This he mounts and begins singing happily until he cat ches sight of you again, sprawled at his feet, spy-glasses close to his throat, studying his bill. He preens for a moment under your intent gaze, pivots onCe or twice, clears his throat and tries another note. Finally he gives up when a crowd of rowdy blue jays with a troop of screaming relatives stops williin range. Why am I a bird-watcher. Prim arily, it is intellectually stimulating. Could you tell me the summer diet of the belted kingfisher? There arc other invaluable benefits that are derived from the sport: ... a glowing com plexion, a keen eye, the smart effect achieved by a bramble artistically poised over one car and the sense of aesthetic accomplishment when you track down a short-eared owl or dis tinguish the call of a white-eyed vireo or teeter-tail snipe (spotted).
