/ NATION AND WORLD University Daily Kansan, September 6.1984 Pope speaks against rhythm method By United Press International VATICAN CITY — Pope John Paul II warned Roman Catholic couples yesterday that even the rhythm method of birth control could be morally wrong if it was used for "unworthy reasons." The pope issued the warning to about 20,000 pilgrims and tourists in St. Peter's Square, during his eight speech in a series aimed at getting current Catholics to obey the church's total ban on artificial birth control. John Paul, who began his personal crusade on the church's unpopular birth control stance July 11, repeated traditional Roman Catholic teaching that natural birth control was the standard; a much smaller size that conformed to divine plan. but these need to be. But the pointff said even natural birth control was morally wrong if it was not used properly. "THE USE OF INFERTILE PERIODS for corjugal union can, however, be an abuse if the couple is seeking in this way to avoid children for unworthy reasons." John Paul said. John Paul did not explain what he considered "unworthy reasons" for practicing natural birth control, but traditional church teaching requires that sex between married couples be open to conception unless there are responsible, unselfish and moral justifications. "This method can never be perceived in a merely functional or utilitarian way, separating it from the ethical dimension," the pontiff said. Newlywed couples, for example, who decide to delay conception while trying to establish themselves financially can practice natural birth control, according to church teaching. relationship with his wife, would have invalid reasons, the church teaches. BUT A WOMAN WHO WANTED to delay having children for fear of ruining her figure, or a man who feared a child would ruin his The pope based his address on Pope Paul VI's 1968 landmark encyclical, "Humana Vitae" (Of Human Life) which disappointed many Roman Catholics because it failed to relax the church's unequivocal ban on artificial birth control. John Paul said the encyclical urged Roman Catholic couples to act according to the "objective moral order established by God," and in many is it exclusively directed to limiting, much less excluding, children. Sharon files libel suit against Time magazine By United Press International NEW YORK — Former Israeli defense minister Ariel Sharon testified yesterday that he filed a $50 million libel suit against Time magazine to vindicate himself and the Jewish people. Sharon has accused Time of implying in an article that he encouraged the massacre of hundreds of Palestinian refugees and Lebanese civilians in two West Beirut refugee camps in September 1982 Sharon denounced the allegation as a "blood libel" against all Jews. "IREGARD IT AS ONE of the most terrible things that has been done to the Jewish people, the state of Israel and to myself," Sharon said. Sharon, who flew to Manhattan from Israel to give the public deposition, was accompanied into U.S. District Court by his bodyguards and Israeli reporters. Under questioning from attorneys for Time, Sharon said he filed the suit because the article contained state that were "false, lies, and ibebels." In Time's Feb. 21, 1983 issue, an article entitled "The Verdict is Gulty" described the findings of an Israeli judicial commission. ACCOUNDING TO THE TIME article, the classified appendix said that Sharon visited with the Gemayel family on the day after the assassination of Lebanese President Bashir Gemayel. "Sharon also reportedly discussed with the Germayels the need for the Phalangists to take revenge for the assassination of Hashir", the Time Time referred to the contents of a secret appendix of the commission's published report Sharon contends that this statement is libelous. Murderer of 8 nurses up for parole review By United Press International CHICAGO — A parole hearing will be held today for Richard Speek, and the father of one of eight student nurses he murdered 18 years ago will be there to make sure their killer doesn't go free. "It's a hard time, all the time," said John Matsuek, 77, who has gone to each of Speck's four previous parole hearings at the Stateville Correctional Center in Joilet. rou you have to say your piece. I don't want him ever to be released," said the wheelchair-bound retired tavern owner, whose home was one of the eight student nurses murdered by Seck July 14, 1966. Armed with a knife, Speck, 42, an itinerant merchant seaman, broke into the South Side townhouse where the student nurses left in 1907 with strips of cloth torn from a bedsheet, then killed them. Days later Speck slashed his wrists in a room row rooming house. He was arrested when a doctor at Cook County Hospital recognized a "born to raise hell" tattoo on his arm. The only surviving nurse described the tattoo to authorities. Speck was sentenced to death, but the U.S. Supreme Court overturned that sentence in 1971. He was resentenced to serve eight consecutive 50- to 150-year prison terms. Matusek and his wife, Bessie, plan to attend the hearing with John and Lena Wilkening of Grifith, Ind., whose daughter, Pamela, was another Speck victim. The parole board will have "thousands of letters that will protest the release of Speck," Matusek said. "I don't think there'll ever be a chance of them letting him out because the public is too much behind this thing." Prisoner Review Board Chairman Paul Kilnicar said Speck's upcoming parole hearing before a three-member board was routine. Five to seven protest witnesses are scheduled to testify. A decision by the full 10-member board probably will be announced Friday. SENIORS: DON'T BE LEFT OUT!
