Couples Hear Priest Point Out Realities, Problems of Marriage
By Joan McCabe
In a speech at the first of six meetings in a Cana Conference, Father William Finnerty, director of Catholic Charities in the Archdiocese of Kansas, warned the audience of some of the pitfalls of marriage.
The Cana Conference for engaged couples and those planning for marriage, is held at 8 p.m. on Friday nights at the St. Lawrence Catholic Student Center chapel at 1910 Stratford Road.
The title of the conference is derived from the Biblical account of a marriage at Cana of Gallilee when Christ helped an embarrassed bridegroom by changing water into wine so there would be enough for all of the guests.
FRIDAY NIGHT Father Finnerty told the group that often in his counseling experience with married couples he finds himself asking, "How in God's world did these two people get together? Day after day you see the most unbelievable combinations," he continued.
One of the major factors contributing toward divorce is that "sometimes after two or three years or even less the couple find that they haven't a thing in common." Father said. Because of this, he stressed that there should be much more discussion before marriage of all aspects of it.
"Marriage should be a way of becoming a more complete person. This completeness should be evident in all of the little things which the husband and wife do for one another. Marriage is a vocation; it is a call to perfection," the speaker commented. He stressed that too little emphasis is put on the importance of the marriage relationship today.
"The HUSBAND should consider his wife as "my means of perfection, whether she has burned the toast or forgotten to plug in the coffee pot. The more perfect you help your partner to be, the more perfect you yourself will become," Father explained.
"The married couple should view their relationship as the joy of heaven, far too many see it only as a living hell." Father stated. "It is one thing to speak about love and quite another to be loving in all situations."
"God created male and female and gave them certain distinctive traits. Somehow the roles have gotten all mixed up. Often the wife assumes much of the authority of the husband, who in turn becomes a mousy little creature who is barely human anymore." Father continued.
ANOTHER FACTOR which contributes to unhappiness in some marriages is that "the average human being will not allow himself to
Law Book Awards Won by 15 Students
The KU school of law has announced the fall semester 1964 American Jurisprudence Award winners. These are awards received by the highest ranking class member of each individual course offered in the law school.
Earl B. Shurtz, professor of law, said that the winners will receive one volume of a multi-volume law encyclopedia. The volume received by the student will be the one most related to the course from which it was won. In other words, if a student ranked first in a class in agency and partnership, he would receive the volume concerned with agencies and partnerships. The choice of winners is entirely up to the discretion of his professor.
THE AWARDS are presented by the Lawyers Co-operative Publishing Company, who are publishers of the volumes presented. The awards are presented to all class winners of all law schools which are accredited by the American Association of Law Schools. There are more than 100 accredited schools.
The Lawyers Co-operative is one of the largest law book publishing companies in the country. Miss Hazel Anderson, law librarian, said each volume received by the students would be valued at more than $20.
THE WINNERS ARE: Terry J.

become aware of shortcomings in the other person before marriage. Everything is very phony. The couple rarely see one another as they really are," he said.
"COMMUNICATION is most important to a marriage." Father commented in conclusion. "You must share with one another until you can say things in ways that you know the other person will understand and until you can tell when they do not understand.
"Finally, remember that there is a great deal of difference in acceptance and approval. There may be things about the other person which you do not approve, but you must be able to accept them and the other person as he or she is. A mutual exchange of attitudes and feelings at the present is the most important aspect of your relationship," he concluded.

Demonstrators March In Sympathy for Selma
Approximately 200 students, Lawrence citizens and children marched down the streets of Lawrence Sunday afternoon in a quiet demonstration in sympathy of the present voter-registration drive in Selma, Alabama.
In pairs, the long line of Negro and white demonstrators walked quietly from Ninth Street and Massachusetts to the City Courthouse.
When the marchers reached the courthouse, they congregated around the steps to hear Rev. Garrett Henning of St. Lukes AME Church, who delivered the devotional. He outlined the reasons for the sympathy march.
"We are here to indicate in this community our support of the efforts being made by our brothers in Selma," he said. He explained that the death of Rev. James J. Reeb of Boston in Selma last week was the main reason for the march.
An inter-faith service was planned for Sunday, at 1:00 p.m. at St. John's Catholic Church. Part of the purpose of the service was to raise funds to send students into the area of Jonesboro, La., to rebuild churches.
