Pope Acts to Expand Key Council Groups
Page 3
VATICAN CITY—(UPI)—Pope Paul VI intervened today to expedite the work of the Ecumenical Council by adding new members to the key commissions which process documents for Council action
The Pope's move was announced at today's session by Archbishop Pericle Felici, secretary general of the Council. He said the Pope acted in response to "requests from many Council fathers" and to make the Council commissions "work more efficiently."
FELICI SAID that by Papal order all Council commissions will be expanded to 30 members. At present most of them have 25. Of the five new members of each commission, one will be chosen by the Pope personally and the other four will be elected by the Council fathers.
National conferences of bishops were invited to submit nominations for the new commission posts, with balloting scheduled for next Thursday.
The Council voted today to allow the full substitution of modern languages for Latin in Catholic baptisms, weddings and other sacraments.
THE COUNCIL also approved the first three chapters of a document outlining a path for Catholic unity as a basis for further discussion. The Council did not consider an additional chapter which condemns anti-Semitism and advocates unequivocal religious freedom.
More than two-thirds of the Council fathers voted in favor of the newly-proposed amendment which will allow bishops to give permission for even the central formula of the sacraments to be said in the language of the people.
Earlier, the Council approved use of everyday language in large portions of the mass.
Speaker Says 'Hamlet' Plot Resembles Many 'Thrillers'
Hamlet's delay in killing his uncle may be explained by a need for suspense and by minor plot inconsistencies, G. B. Harrison said yesterday.
Harrison, professor of English at the University of Michigan, is a nationally recognized Shakespearean scholar.
Shakespeare wanted to maintain the plot's interest and suspense, Harrison said.
MANY CRITICS assert that, for psychological accuracy, Hamlet should have killed Claudius immediately after his father's ghost revealed his own murderer. But, Harrison said, Hamlet would not fully believe a ghost. Christians at that time believed that the devil disguised himself as ghosts to delude people.
Harrison compared the Hamlet plot with modern "thrillers" and Spanish tragedies. He stated the criteria for vengeful justice: "The murderer demands not 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,' but both eyes and a jaw full of teeth, with the victim going straight to hell."
Harrison explained why Ophelia goes mad and kills herself in the fourth, not the final, act: "Four corpses in one act are about all the playwright could handle, especially when the actors are needed as soldiers."
The University String Quartet will perform at 8 p.m. Monday in Swarthout Recital Hall.
University Quartet To Perform Monday
Members of the quartet are Raymond Cerf and Theodore Johnson, violinists, Karel Blass, violinist and Raymond Stuhl, cellist.

Raymond Cerf, professor of stringed instruments, is a graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, Belgium. He has been a member of the Yasye Orchestra, the Concert Poplhaires, the Defauw Orchestra and the Pro Art group. He has been concertmaster of the Anna Pavlova Ballet Company, and a professor of violin at Oberlin College.
Theodore Johnson, O.M.A., assistant professor of organ and theory, is a University of Michigan graduate. He has been a Fulbright scholar in Germany.
Karel Blass, associate professor of stringed instruments and of organ and theory, was staff violinist of radio station WHAM in Rochester, and a violinist in the Modern Art Quartet.
Raymond Stuhl, associate professor of stringed instruments, became head of the department of cello and ensemble at the Kansas City Conservatory, and a member of the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra.

P-t-P Schedules Bull Sessions
KU's People-to-People forum committee has announced a new program designed to answer students' questions on almost anything, or at least make a stab at answering them.
The new program, dubbed WEBS (for Wednesday Evening Bull Sessions) will begin Dec. 4, at 7 p.m.
Robert Entriken, San Francisco, Calif., sophomore and forum committee co-chairman, said WEBS will be informal. "They will be held where students can bring a coke and a hamburger to munch while they debate with some learned authority on quantum theories or civil rights," he said.
"WEBS should provide answers to many questions students may have on a wide variety of subjects," Entriken said. Students who would like to have questions on any subject answered, may submit them to the P-t-P office in the Kansas Union. "We are open to any and all suggestions," Entriken said, "and chances are good that we will use those that are submitted."
The first WEBS will include discussions on mathematics applied to engineering, and on civil rights. Enterrikan said that locations for the two discussions will be announced.
"As WEBS grows, a given Wednesday evening may find even more WEBS going on simultaneously Entrenlken said. "At least one should be of interest to almost every KU student."
