The Phenomenon of Man

Education

Committee

By GEORGE ABBOTT WHITE
"One can walk a mile with
Teilhard. Or, daring to leap as
far as thought cant project, one
can come to stand on the edge
of the cosmos and share his
hope that nothing can be lost."
Sister Zoe Barry was speak-
ing to the third Office of Re-
ligious Affairs "Noon Book Dis-
cussion" in a packed room of
over 200 in the Michigan Union
on Teilhard de j Chardin, the
French Jesuit who was restrict-
ed by his Church from publish-
ing his revolutionary thoughts
about evolution and what it
meant for Christianity. Since
Teilhard's death in 1955 and
the subsequent release of his
manuscripts, he has become
something of a phenomena
himself -this sincere, charm-
ing, simple man who suffered
restriction of his thought, in
faith.
Reference and Parallel
Sister Zoe found it impos-
sible to approach the book un-
der discussion - "The Pheio-
menon of Man" -without ref-
erence and parallels to earlier
works. "A focus on 'The Phe-
nomenon of Man' by way of
such works as 'The Divine
Milieu,' 'The Future of Man,'
and 'The Hymn to the Uni-
verse,', may disappoint anyone
who has a nodding acquaint-
ance with the book and who is
after a scientific treatment of
the scientific minutiae behind
his vision.
"Surely Teilhard d e s e r v e s
such treatment," she continued,
"and is receiving i$. However,

he does not deserve to be re-
stricted in test-tube analyses.
"In his own preface he
wrote: 'This book deals with
man solely as a phenomenon;
but it also deals with the whole
phenomenon of man . . . my
only aim in these pages-and
to this aim all my powers are
bent-is to see; that is to say,
to develop a homogeneous and
coherent perspective of our
general experience of man. A
whole which unfolds.'"
A Whole Which Unfolds
T h o u g h Teilhard suffered
one "little death" after another
in restriction, he continued to
write and to think in terms of
,wholeness, continued to see
man not as fragmental, but as
the axis of the Universe. "Not
a static centre of the world-
as he for so long believed him-
self to be-but as the axis and
leading shoot of evolution,
which is something much finer.
"I ask you to share with me
the vision he held, and to sus-
pend for the moment a scrutiny
of the lens through which he
saw," said Sister Zoe. "For the
biologico - pelientologico - an-
thropologico-physical lens is a
technical instrument which can
only be adequately handled by
specialists in the various fields.
"For all who are interested
in the human, in our common
heritage, our present milieu
and our common goal, Teil-
hard's vision is exciting and
illuminating."
Sister Zoe outlined "The
Phenomenon" as a continua-
tion of themes in earlier works.

"He is well aware that he is
trampling through well-kept
gardens. This sense of motion,
of change and progress can be
seen in the first essay in the
earlier collection, 'The Future
of Man.'
"Teilhard's theory-that we
have been moving, are still
moving and will continue until
we reach what he calls the
'Omega Point' - results from
his studies and investigations
in anthropology and paleon-
tology, as well as from his in-
tuition." He visualizes the
emergence of mail from a "gen-
eral groping of the world," and
sees him now, as the controller
of the evolutionary process, di-
recting the unity of mankind.
What happens in the future
then, is our task.
Spiritual and Intellectual
Teilhard's vision was present-
ed as a spiritual as well as an
intellectual construct. Unlike'
his influences, the Bergsonians,
the Existentialists, the Marx-
ists, Teilhard's vision could
suggest more than mere direc-
tion, unity, simple "together-
ness."
Sister Zoe ended with a
question to the audience; a
question that had bothered her,
a student of the humanities:
"Which side, scientific or aes-
thetic, was Teilhard on?" One
man replied that he thought
"sides" were contrary to Teil-
hard's concept of wholeness,
but that he was "a poet; a
scientist who uses poetic lan-
guage to express what is be-
yond the language of science."

LAWYER AND LABOR Consultant Arthur Goldberg was named
yesterday to replace Adlai Stevenson as United 5tates Ambassa-
dor to the United Nations. Goldberg reluctantly accepted the job
--leaving his Supreme Court post-because President Lyndon B.
Johnson had asked him to do so
5G.oldberg Named
U.N. Ambassador
WASHINGTON M)-President Lyndon B. Johnson plucked a re-
luctant Justice Arthur J, Goldberg from the relative calm of the
Supreme Court yesterday and thrust him into the maelstrom of
world politics as ambassador to the United Nations.
"I'd ratherthe President hadn't asked me to assume this duty; in
all candor," Goldberg said after his surprise appointment to succeed
the late Adlai E. Stevenson.
He said he agreed to step down from the Supreme Court-"the
culmination of everything I could have hopel for in life-" only

4because the President told him it
was his duty.
The WAhite House said Johnson
announced the appointment only
about an hour after coming to a
final decision yesterday morning
to pick Goldberg from among a
list of some 30 prominent Ameri-
cans.
Goldberg, former secretary of
labor and before that a noted la-
bor lawyer and mediator, pledged
to work for peace through inter-
national law.
"It is that or doom-and we all
know it," he said at the White
House.
Goldberg takes a $9500 yearly
salary cut in the $30,000 post.
The questions raised most often
in private conversation were: Why
did Goldberg leave a lifetime job
of great power to take a post he
could hold only at the President's
pleasure? How would the Arab
delegations react to U.S. represen-
tation by a Jewish delegate?
Those who know Goldberg ex-
plain his decision by saying he is
a very dedicated man and a man
of action and that for these rea-
sons the UN job appealed to
him. He has long been an ardent
supporter of the world organiza-
tion.
Some non-Arab delegates ex-
pressed belief that the Arabs
were going to be unhappy about
Goldberg's appointment, but Arab
diplomats reacted cautiously. Dr.
Izzat Tannous, New York repre-
sentative of the Palestine Liber-
ation Organization, said that if
Goldberg proves to be a Zionist
"it's a very bad choice."
One Arab delegate said the ap-
pointment wouldn't make much
difference because U.S. policies are
made in Washington and not at
the United Nations.

Pianist Philippe Entremont's
last stop on a busy American tour
was the University. He knew this
last performance before a two-
month vacation would be before
friends.I
"I have never been disappoint-
ed by a University audience," said
the 31-year-old French prize-win-
ner yesterday before his Summer
Concert Series performance. He
said that he found collegiate aud-
iences more responsive to perform-
ances than "so-called sophisticat-
ed authorities."
Because of this, Entremont
Plan World
Embassy Area
-WASHINGTON (P) - A State
Department newsletter says legis-
lation is being drawn up for -the
establishment of a 30-acre inter-
national complex here which,
among other things, would pro-
vide space for foreign chanceries.
The complex would furnish
acreage for foreign chanceries
which would be built under long-
term lease agreements, as well as
additional offices for the State
Department and Organization of
American States (OAS).
The Washington Post said last
night the White House would sub-
mit such legislation to Congress
within the next two weeks.
A foreign service institute also
is being considered for the com-
pldx. No site was named, but pre-
sumably the Federal government
would clear off an area.

said, he often presents unusual
or contemporary compositions at
University performances. However,
he felt these same audiences were
also attuned.to romantic and oth-
er earlier forms of concert works.
Tours U.S.
Entremont's American tour in-
cluded performances with the
Philadelphia Symphony Orches-
tra, and the New York 'Philhar-
monic at the Franco-American
Festival in New York. He com-
pleted tapes for imminent record-
ings at sessions the day before
his appearance on campps.
Though alert and responsive at
an interview before his perform-
ance, Entremont showed strain
from the intensive work and trav-
el schedule. He spoke of a vaca-
tion "only three hours" from the
interview.
But the pianist has already for-
mulated plans for another ten-
month season. He will revisit
America in early 1966, although
his plans for further perform-
ances in Ann Arbor were indefi-
nite.
New Recordings
Several new recordings are
scheduled for 1966. The pianist
said he would record two Saint-
Saens Piano Concertos, one of
which he performed at the 1964
Summer Concert Series.Entre-
Mont will also be soloist in a re-
cording of Leonard Bernstein's
"Symphony for Piano and Orches-
tra." He has recorded in the
United States for eight years.
Entremont has been referred to
as "the most interesting and in-
dividualistic pianist France has
produced since Corot." He has
received attention for his inter-
pretations of works by Debussey,
Stravinsky, and Prokofieff.

eeptive
"A young French pianist who
is nothing less than a genius was'
heard at the Festival Hall," said
London critics on Entremont's de-
but in 1958. Earlier, in 1954, he
had received standing ovation
from the Philadelphia Symphony
Orchestra on his U.S. deubt with
Eugene Ormandy.
At performances like last
night's, Entremont holds lively
conversation with his audiences.
He speaks in rich tonal phrases,
emphasizing his statements with
displays of well-executed tech-
nique.
Audience Answers
His audience answers his state-
ments with vigorous applause, as
they did last night. Often, though,
they must think about the emo-
tion and meaning of what he pre-
sents.
At University concerts, Entre-
mont has often held lively dia-
logues. Just as last night, he is
glad to be with friends. ,

District Rule
iWASHINGTON --Senate Re-
publican Leader Everett M. Dirk-
sen indicated yesterday he will try
to bypass the Judiciary Committee
ana 'bring directly to the Senate
his effort to revise the Supreme
Court's 'one-man, one-vote' legis-
lative reapportionment ruling.
"I am playing for keeps," the
Illinois Senator said in hinting at
a new strategy to win approval of
his proposed constitutional amend-
ment.
"I am prepared to use whatever
the rules book offers to get this
before the Senate," Dirksen said
after blocking action by the ap-
parently deadlocked Judiciary
Committee.
The committeeappears split 8 to
8 on the proposal and when three
of his supporters failed to show up
for a committee meeting, Dirksen
argued away the time until the
Senate met and forced adjourn-
ment of the committee session.
Rider
Dirksen, although not disclosing
details of his plans, indicated he
will try to attach the proposal as
a rider to some other bill in the
Senate.
His proposed constitutional
amendment, if aproved by Con-
gress and ratified by two-thirds of
the states, would permit the voters
in each state to decide if they
want one house of their state legis-
latures apportioned on some basis
other than population.

A pair of imaginative comedies, described by the New York Post
as having in common "humor, sympathy, and fresh characteriza-

p. John E. Moss (D-Calif), chairman
rations and Gocernment Information
e, signed by Deputy Secretary of De-
e first step taken by any government
agency to curtail the widespread
use of so-called 'lie detectors'."
The directive applies to all the
military services and agencies of
the defense establishment. It lim-
its the use of polygraphs to crim-
inal investigations where there is
a clear showing that "the al-
leged crime is an offense punish-
able under the U.S. code of the
Uniform Code of Military Justice

term of one year or more."
Noting that the Defense De-
partment conducted more than
16,000 lie detectordinvestigations
in 1963, Moss said in a state-
ment:
"Hopefully, this new policy will
put an end to the giving of poly-
graph tests to military personnel
accused of disciplinary matters."
In addition to curbing the use
of lie detectors, the directive pro-
hibits the "probing of a person's
