When rt was in use, only Catholic Mass was broadcast on the system. Father Babbish said he also plans to purchase cassette tapes of sacred music and "pastoral teachings" of all faiths for use by all patients. "The hospital ministry often has been overlooked," Huff said.

"People in hospitals are in desperate need of spiritual guidance they are alone. We want to do everything we can." One of the clergymen at the luncheon, the Rev. Robert Zitlau of the Lutheran Institutional Chaplain program, said hospitals in Phoenix "don't realize that we (chaplains) are part of the healing team." He said a recent study of some California hospitals revealed that patients who receive "more spiritual care" have less need for hospital-administered drugs during the healing process. By GENE LUPTAK Republic Religion Editor St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, founded by Roman Catholic nuns in 1895, has decided to offer more spiritual help to its Protestant and Jewish patients.

"It is important for us to remember that St. Joseph's is not only a Catholic hospital but it is a Christian hospital (and) for people of all aiths," said the Rev. Francis Babbish, new chaplain at St Joseph's. He said two-thirds of tha patients at St. Joseph's Hospital are non-Catholics and that there are no organized programs for them.

Father Babbish said all spiritual emphasis at the hospital has been geared to Catholics during its history, but Protestant and Jewish clergymen have been allowed to visit in rooms with patients of non-Catholic faith. "We had no contact with these clergymen and they were on their own," he said. "We now want to be more cooperative and responsive to what they are doing." Last Wednesday, Father Babbish and T. Abner Huff, executive director and administrator at the hospital, asked about 20 Protestant and Jewish clergymen to a luncheon to discuss how the 1 1 a I might help reach the spiritual needs of its non-Catholic patients. Seven clergymen attended.

"We will work toward bringing each member of the religious community into a more active service of spiritual care for our patients, regardless of religious affiliation," Father Babbish told his luncheon guests. He said the hospital plans to provide facilities a pas-toral care department where clergymen can conduct private counseling sessions with patients and family members. Father Babbish said the hospital will step up religious programs and activities at the hospital. He asked the non-Catholic clergymen for help and suggestions. He said he plans to re-acti pose challenge to clergy By THE REV.

GERALD A. BUCKLEY Director, Catholic Student Center, Tempe Undeniably we are experiencing a "sexual revolution." Pollsters have shown that, whereas sexual practices on campuses are not much different from 20 years ago, the attitudes toward them have changed radically. Twenty years ago, premarital sex was widely practiced, He, ru i 'It Tk TL JEflL. I 1 I iiikifcHn but there was no attempt to justify it morally. The promiscuous Christian would unhesitatingly have included his hanky-panky with the girls in the litany of his sins.

A couple living together without benefit of clergy would have taken measures to hide the fact Today, premarital sex is practiced openly by professed Christians, many of whom would justify it as being not only not immoral, but demonstrative of Christian commitment and love.

Football players Four former football players at the i i of Southern California will speak at a youth rally at 7:30 p.m. today in Gospel Echoes Chapel, Third Avenue and Monroe.

The players, who all have been drafted by professional football teams, are Mike Ryan, offensive pard; Allen Gallaher, offensive tackle; Dave Brown, center, and Sam "Bam" Cunningham, fullback. Cunningham was voted the most valuable player in the 1973 Rose Bowl. The players will talk about their faith in Jesus Christ. They also will appear at the 3 p.m. service tomorrow of the church.

Buckley ahead of him. He has to be sensitive to their point of view and their perplexity. Even the most conservative young person today is a child of his environment and culture. The clergyman must do justice to the persisting traditions of classical Christian morality. The "hip" priest or minister who sees himself as "liberator of youth oppressed by the ignorance and superstitions of the past, can be a disaster to the young person.

Invariably, it becomes the harder task of some other, and wiser, counsellor to pick up the pieces. Perhaps the Church in the past did take sexual morality out of proportion to other, more important areas of morality. Perhaps, even within the context of sexual morality, premarital sex isn't the gravest of violations. Nevertheless, the traditional norms which forbid sexual intmacy outside of marriage are more than just a taboo. From a.

purely humanist point of view it might be difficult to establish the absolute WTongness of premarital sex, but ior a Christian all sexual activity is seen to hinge upon the sacred character of marriage itself. So old, and so persistent is the Church's view of the sacred-riess of the marriage covenant that the Christian can justly consider it a revelation springing from the insight of Christ himself. In this light sex takes on a profoundly sacred cTiaracter as the celebration of the deepest, most fulfilling of human relationships. To use it otherwise is to profane it Yes, the clergyman has a difficult job. Our young people ire products of a culture that commercializes the sacred.

He roust avoid moralizing. His challenge must be to lead them into greater insights of their ancient faith. Son of Yuma's mayor accepts holy orders Western Arizona Bureau i First communion The Rev. Edward J. Wajda, pastor of St.
