Doty seeks 'stalkers of meaning'
KU graduates were urged to become "stalkers of meaning" at Baccalaureate by James Edward Doty, president of Baker University at Baldwin.
"Authentic man moves ahead without fear or anxiety as he pursues truth wherever he finds it," Doty said. And, in today's world, he said man must address himself to four major questions—peace, race, family and faith.
In discussing the problems of effecting peace, Doty quoted "an authentic man of our time," Fr. Georges Pire, Dominican priest and winner of the 1958 Nobel Peace Prize: "Many people are building bridges and this is good. Many people are building trenches and this is bad. I see my task in building bridges over trenches.
"THE TASK OF the graduate of 1968 is to see and hear," Doty continued, "but not to remain silent. If one is at war with oneself, one cannot become a peacemaker.
"Indeed, too many people in our time treat their neighbors as they treat themselves, for basically they are expressing the hostility outwardly which they feel inwardly."
To deal with the matter of race, Doctor Doty said authentic men must be mature beyond their years and wiser than their chronology.
"And you . . . are called to leadership for such a time as this in the problem of race that blends ambivalence with ardour, cowardice with courage," he stated, citing the "quiet dignity and Christian grace" of Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.'s leadership of the civil rights movement.
WHILE THE physical home of the future may reflect space-age luxury and convenience, life may still be as stale and unprofitable as in today's suburbia, Doctor Doty cautioned the graduates.
"Authentic man can afford to have a new openness in dialogue between husbands and wives and between parents and children so that generations will not fester and burn, but will have new hope," he emphasized.
Family conflicts, financial hardships, difficulties in sexual orientation and feelings of intellectual and educational disappointment or failure all are current problems reflecting the need for a new understanding of the dimension of the family. Doty said.
"AUTHENTIC MAN may look into (these) cracked mirrors, but may not rationalize the cracked image which is reflected." Doty said, "but rather will attempt to do something about it to bring
wholeness to the reality which stares back at them out of their own brokenness."
The challenge to authentic man in the realm of faith is to make that faith relevant to his existential situation, Doty said.
"Authentic man is any man who selflessly addresses himself to these open sores (of the world), and through all that he has acquired in the four years on this campus," he continued, "the sharpening of wit, the sense of urgency, the synthesizing of problems, the defining of relationships through the desire to work unapologetically under the guidance of God.
"Then he is able to move forward as an authentic servant of God in His world," Doty said.
In closing, Doty emphasized that the decision to become authentic men and women is a personal one—but necessary in order for life to be challenging, climactic and rewarding.

STILL THE MOST UNIQUE RESTAURANT IN LAWRENCE
There has to be a good reason why students and faculty alike continue year after year, to patronize us. It could be our warm, friendly atmosphere, fine food, "Old World" decor, or just the fact that we're different. Our four dining rooms, furnished in birch, cherry, walnut, and oak, are perfect for dinner dates, meetings, and even wedding receptions. But, whatever the reason may be, we're glad you've made us the most popular restaurant in Lawrence. We've been that way for 20 years.
If you're new in Lawrence, we'd like to get acquainted with you. If you already know about us, you will be glad to know that we're still here. We haven't changed!
