Priest Banning
'Steadies' Not
Against Dating
By WILLIAM Jk. SWARTWORTH
LORETTO, Pa.. 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."
