Religion, science highlight lecture
Religion and science will continue to cooperate as man develops a growing awareness of his responsibility to advancing technology, Father Ernan McMullin said.
Father McMullin spoke about "Religion and the Natural Sciences," Sunday in the University Theatre. The lecture was the third in a series connected with the dedication of the new Kansas School of Religion.
Father McMullin, assistant professor of philosophy at Notre Dame, said we are living in a world where science is transforming our world and way of life. With technological growth, he said, often comes a misuse of power. It is then, he said, when
religion is important to reverse this trend.
Love, responsibility, and a concern for each other are the only ways to save the universe, he said. Christianity is a hope more than a prediction, that the universe will continue to develop and bring man closer to it.
The methods of science have brought us a universe man can understand and see, Father McMullin said. What he can't understand scientifically is why the universe exists. But, the Christian can explain this phenomenon — God.
Father McMullin, the president of the American Philosophical Association, is the author of a new book, "Galilco, Man of Science."

than his female counterpart, Emily
Taylor, dean of women, and

Alderson, Miss Taylor and Mrs. Suzanne Crawford, assistant director of Corbin College, were all "big name" prizes in a slave auction at Corbin Hall last night.
The money that bought Alderson for $15 and Dean Taylor and
Mrs. Crawford for $12 will be used by the Associated Women Students (AWS) for a scholarship fund.
As "slaves," the three administrators will perform "undetermined" tasks for their buyers.
The auction, which also included sale of several counselors and one resident director, netted $150 for AWS.

In a review by Robert Brustein in the New Republic, Heller's "Catch 22" was said to be one that borders between hilarity and horror.
"Heller's mordant intelligence penetrates the surface of the merely funny to expose a world of ruthless self-advancement, grusome cruelty and flagrant disregard for human life," said Brustein.
"It is a world, in short, very much like our own as seen through a magnifying glass, distorted for more perfect accuracy."
Brustein said Heller's characters are mad by all conventional standards.
"Through the agency of grotesque comedy, Heller has found a way to confront the humbug, hypocrisy, cruelty and sheer stupidity of our mass society," Brustein said.
