-Daly-Harold Gassenhemer,
Rev. Fr. John Courtney Murray,
... speaks on religion
"Modernity," the Jesuit con-
tinued as he made fast philosophi-
cal mileage, "has come to an end.
The philosophical problem is to
pass beyond modernity."
New Problems
Father Murray believes that
there are new problems which
"modernity" did not have to face.
Formerly, people believed that
pluralism was a good thing and
the more of it the better. Con-
structive movemepts today are
directed toward unity and order.
"Protestantism is no longer so
proud of its multiplicities," the
Catholic priest said, "and the
Catholic Church now emphasizes
'the true Church that is one."'"
The university is the creation
of modernity, he said. But many
people's commitments to modernity
and its many, and varied ideals
have given way now to a search
for unity and order. How does this
apply to a university?
Clarify Pluralism
Father Murray answered his
question by explaining, "The uni-
versity's task is to clarify modern
pluralisms, to make them intel-
ligible."
The task doesn't sound simple,
and it isn't. "Students," the priest
explained, "are forced to be scien-
tific naturalists In the classroom,
whatever else they may be, some-
what schizophrenically, outside the
University."
Canada House
To Sponsor
First Meeting
Maple Leaf Night, featuring
dancing and entertainment, will
be held at 8:30 p.m. today at the
International Center, according to
Allan Tweddle, '60E, president of
Canada House.
This is the first large meeting of
Canada House, a new Canadian
student organization which is hop-
ing to be recognized soon.
Tweddle announced that the
club will send a delegate to the
Model United Nations at the Union
tomorrow as one of its activities.
"Such a club has been needed
for a long time," Tweddle said, "to
facilitate Canadian employmgnt at
graduation time and to stimulate
interest in Canada through group;
activities in order to bring more
Canadian courses to the Univer-
sity.
The group hopes to contact the
17,000 Canadian Alumni in order
to create scholarships for study,
here.
Previously Canadians have visit-
ed the International Center only
to obtain I-20 forms which make
for easy travels across the border,
added Tweddle.
