KU Catholics Present Unique Forum Series
A group of KU Catholic students are attempting to apply traditional Catholic doctrine to the problems of college life in a unique and free-wheeling discussion series this semester.
The series, unique because only students are allowed to participate and freewheeling because the range of subjects covered is limited only by the students' imagination, is called "The Dynamics of Catholic Living."
THE IDEA for the series was originated by several students last semester. One of these students, Robert W. Scott, Fremont, Neb. graduate student, recently outlined the purposes of the series.
"Through the weekly discussions," he said, "we try to achieve a deeper appreciation and understanding of Catholicism. We also try to learn more about Catholic doctrine so we, as KU students, can present explanations—notice I didn't say answers—to questions usually asked us by Protestants.
"We allow a lot of leeway in the discussions," Scott said, "but we try to discuss the topics with an open mind, not just for the sake of argument."
"Most importantly, we try to come out of the discussions with some applications of the topic to our life here on the campus."
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — There is a legend that the first Presidential news conference was held by John Quincy Adams while he was standing up to his neck in the Potomac River clad in his epidermis.
But to make the discussions more interesting, he said, members of the

discussion group sometimes adopt and try to defend positions contrary to Catholic doctrine.
"We know what the teachings of the Church are," Scott explained. "In the discussions we try to examine the logic behind these teachings."
Discussion topics, he explained, may range from the problem of cheating in class to the question: "Who is man?" A recent discussion, he said began with the question "Is it good that the Church spends money for beautiful cathedrals while people in some parts of the world are starving", but ended on a discussion of birth control and the role of science in modern society.
The group meets at 9:30 p.m. every Wednesday at the St. Lawrence Catholic Student Center, 1918 Stratford Rd.
It is open to all KU Catholic students.
