Dec. 20 Of(-A prie.it at little St. Francis Col lege, until 10 years ago boys' school is determined to keep steady dating "the most" in teen-age circles from becom ing a campus problem.' That was. the motivation for widely publicized order banning students from going steady as the teen-age set generally hv terprets the term. The Rev. Vincent R. Negher- born, dean of students at the co educational Roman Catholic school, hastens to explain that neither e nor the church is op posed to dating or even steady dating in moderation. Thing Te Ge Steady Currently, it is the "thing" for teen-agers to go steady. It s must like the craze over Elvis Presley and rock 'n roll music In teen-ager parlance going steady means dating or keeping company as often as possible with one boy or girl, to the exclusion of all others. This is the target of Father Negherborn's edict, put into ef fect at the southwestern Pennsyl vania school Dec. 6. Gist of the order is this: There shall be no excessive steady dat ing with the same individual. Net Against Dating "We are Dot against dating.' Father Negherborn emphasizes "But we are - against excessive dating -and particularly when it is with Qic same individual", He adds: "And" we doal 'object to upper- classmen dating steadily if they confine their meetings to two or three 'weekly,1 Generally, though, students in lower classes are too immature for 'marriage and there fore we frown.. on their datmg steadily. Father Negerborn said the ban simply was the formal application of a "standard Roman Catholic principle that keeping steady com' pany can be aa occasion of sin unless it leads to marriage in the very near future. . Stidrnts Cooperating Father Negherborn said the or der "occasioned no outbursts" among the students. "They're co operating wonderfully; we're very pleased , with their reaction. Aside from considerations of morality. Father Negherborn said, excessive steady dating interferes with scholastic standings - and stunts the social development ' of students. He said the order still applies even though a couple may intend marriage at an early date. Distasted With Beard Father Negherborn said he in stituted the ban personally after discussing it with the school's ad ministration board, of which he is a member..- ' He declined to venture an opin ion Whether the restriction might spread to other Catholic colleges. St. Francis College, operated by the Third Order Regular of St, Francis, has an enrollment ef 800 including ISO iris. Remote From City ' "We're a bit remote from city life here." Father Negherborn said, "and the students aren't al lowed the free circulation that they enjoyed at home." He continued: "Thus, excessive steady dating could become a real problem. "We haven't had any serious problems up to this point. What we're trying to do is to look ahead and avoid any problems in the future." Wide Planning Projected Starts At Springfield SPRINGFIELD.
