“I would like to invite you to P a tr ic ia O’H a r a ’s o ffic e [ th e V ice P r e s id e n t o f S tu d e n t A ffa irs ] to s e t a d a te fo r a n open forum to d iscuss o u r d e­m ands," fo rm er-studen t Robert P rice sa id a f te r h is sp e ec h a t th e ce rem o n y on th e s te p s of th e A d m in is tra t io n B u ild in g h o n o rin g M artin L u th e r King.

The service began w ith a w el­com e a n d p ra y e r from L aurie Brink. Brink spoke of a m eeting s h e h a d w ith K in g 's k i l le r , Jam es Earl Ray, on D eath Row. She sa id sh e fe lt pity for Ray b e c a u s e h e h a d no h o p e o r d ream like King.

Campus Ministry and You G(7\MPU$MINISTRX

The events of the past week make relevant anew the following words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:

"The past is prophetic in that it asserts loudly that wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows. One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means. How much longer must we play at deadly war games before we heed the plaintive pleas of the unnumbered dead and maimed of past wars?"

"If we assume that life is worth living and that humanity has a right to survival, then we must find an alternative to war. In a day when vehicles hurtle through outer space and guided ballistic missiles carve highways of death through the stratosphere, no nation can claim victory in war."

"We will never have peace in the world until people everywhere recognize that ends are not cut off from means, because means represent the ideal in the making, and the end in process. Ultimately you can't reach good ends through evil means, because the means represent the seed and the ends represent the tree."

"A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war: 'This way of settling differences is not just.' This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of people normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more on military defense than on programs of spiritual uplift is approaching spiritual death."

"It is time for all people of conscience to call upon America to return to her true home of brotherhood and peaceful pursuits. We cannot remain silent as our nation engages in one of history's most cruel and senseless wars. During these days of human travail we must encourage creative dissenters. We need them because thunder of their fearless voices will be the only sound stronger than the blasts of bombs and the clamor of war hysteria.

"Those of us who love peace must organize as effectively as the war hawks. As they spread the propaganda of war, we must spread the propaganda of peace. We must combine the fervor of the civil rights movement with the peace movement. We must demonstrate, teach, and preach, until the very foundations of our nation are shaken. We must work unceasingly to lift this nation that we love to a higher destiny, to a new plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humaneness.

"I have tried to be honest. To be honest is to confront the truth. However unpleasant and inconvenient the truth may be, I believe we must expose and face it if we are to achieve a better quality of American life."

"I refuse to accept the cynical notion that nation after nation must spiral down a militaristic stairway into the hell of thermonuclear destruction. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant.

"I believe that even amid today’s mortar bursts and whining bullets, there is still hope for a brighter tomorrow. I believe that wounded justice, lying prostrate on the blood- flowing streets of our nations, can be lifted from this dust of shame to reign supreme over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive good will will proclaim the rule of the land. And the lion and the lamb shall lie down together and everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree and none shall be afraid.' I still believe that we shall overcome."

Campus Ministry is available to discuss issue related to formation of conscience. If you want information about alternatives to military service or want to clarify your own position, drop by the Library office or call (239-7800) for an appointment.

W hat is th e an a lo g u e to th is type of freedom in the rea lm of the university? To risk sounding quain t, the p rim ary purpose of a u n iv e r s i ty is to le a d i ts m em bers to tru th and wisdom . Thus, the g a rn e rin g of w isdom is the analogue to personal ful­fillm ent, from w hich it follows th a t th e ro b u s t s e n se o f a c a ­dem ic freedom consists in the pro tection of th is w isdom . T hat is, it cons ists in freed o m from error. Not every choice a person m a k es w ill fulfill th a t p e rso n ; w h y s h o u ld w e th in k t h a t a n y th in g a p e r s o n l e a r n s equally p rom otes th a t p e rso n ’s quest for w isdom ? Not even our “g r e a t ” in s t i tu tio n s o f h ig h e r le a rn in g allow th e ir facu lty to te ac h “flat e a r th ” geology.

At a Catholic university, how ­ev e r, th e n o tio n o f t r u e a c a ­dem ic freedom becom es fu rth e r n u an c ed . T he C atholic C hurch claim s th a t, because she is the visible body of Jesu s C hrist and has inherited the p rom ised gift of th e Holy S p irit, th e re a re a g r e a t m a n y is s u e s w h ich sh e h as a lready irrevocably and in ­f a l l ib ly s e t t l e d .

It w o u ld h av e b e e n a b s u rd , for exam ple, for anyone to have questioned the tru th of C hrist’s te a c h in g t h a t a p e r s o n w h o looks w ith lust a t a w om an has s in n e d (M a tth e w 5 :2 8 ). H ow could God be w rong abou t tha t? ( N o n e th e le s s , th e e x a c t m e a n in g o f th i s t e a c h in g is open to inquiry; academ ics can g rea tly a s s is t such a n inquiry , e v e n th o u g h th e u l t im a te

A C atholic un iv ersity , th e r e ­fo re , in s o f a r a s i t w is h e s to rem a in Catholic, has the duty to uphold C hrist’s teach ings, and , in so fa r a s it is a un iversity , it h a s th e du ty to le ad its m e m ­b ers to tru th an d w isdom . The tru ly fo r tu n a te th in g a b o u t a Catholic university (and th is is a p o in t o f te n c o m p le te ly o v e r ­looked by m any ch a m p io n s of academ ic freedom ) is th a t m any p o in ts o f in q u iry a r e a l re a d y know n to be true .

To deba te such points (such as last se m es te r’s form al d eb a te about a b o r t io n ) is v e ry d a n g e r o u s , s in c e t h e r e is a v e ry r e a l possibility th a t som e people will be encouraged , via the rh e to ric o f th e frie n d s of fa lseh o o d , to adop t false opinions.

T h e re is a f u r th e r s e n s e in w h ich th e n o tio n of ac ad e m ic f re e d o m d iffe rs a t a C a tho lic u n iv e rs ity . It m ay be th o u g h t th a t th is view of academ ic fre e ­dom , despite its initial p lausib il­ity, in frin g es g re a tly up o n th e “s a n c t i ty ” o f th e in d iv id u a l’s c h o ic e , e v e n i f i t is a f a ls e choice. W hy should I bow down to so m e a u th o r i ty , to a c c e p t hum bly an d docilely the te a c h ­ings of o the r people?

It is no w onder, then , th a t the tru th is so difficult to find.

By myself, a veritab le w re tch living in d a rk n e ss an d e rro r, I am u n ab le to find th e tru th . I m u st d ep e n d upon o th e rs . But everyone else is likew ise in the d a rk ; how, th e n , can I d epend upon them ? The an sw er is th a t, in a sense, I can depend on no one m a rre d by the b lackness of sin. I can depend only on Christ, th a t is, as His life an d teach ings a re m ade know n to m e, w hich is th r o u g h th e C h u r c h He f o u n d e d .

Citizens must exercise right to free speech prudently

Rev. Stephen P. Newton, C S C.Campus Ministry

I ag ree w ith P residen t George B u sh . In h is o p e n l e t t e r to A m erican college s tuden ts (The O bserver, Jan . 16), he s tresses th a t the su p p o rt of college s tu ­d en ts is im perative in this tim e o f crisis, if A m erica’s efforts to a s s e r t i t s r ig h t o v e r I r a q ’s w ro n g a r e to p re v a il . I fu lly agree: If the P residen t’s efforts a re to succeed , the su p p o rt of m em bers of college and un iver­sity com m unities is essential. If such su p p o r t is no t fo rth co m ­ing, the P re s id en t’s efforts will probably fail.

T herefo re, I urge m em bers of th e U n iv e rs ity c o m m u n ity to w ithho ld su ch su p p o rt.

I base th is advice on my p ercep tion th a t it is not peace th a t P residen t Bush desperate ly seeks (except by som e different spelling , p e rh a p s , by bom bing Iraq into p ieces), n o r is it th e r ig h tin g of w rong th a t he and his rheto ric pursue; ra th e r, his in ten t is to im pose his logically lim ited view of righ t on the e n ­tire world.

MERRILL LYNCH & CO.

CORPORATE FINANCE ANALYST PROGRAM(Chicago Office)

Merrill Lynch's Investm ent Banking Division is seeking college graduates for its

C orporate F inance A nalyst P rogram , to w ork w ith corporations an d institutions. The division

acts as a financial interm ediary betw een corporations and investors, offering financing

alternatives and advisory services. N ew analysts take part in a six-week train ing program in

N ew York at M errill Lynch's W orld H eadquarters and then jo in the M idw est Industrial Banking

G roup in Chicago.

While this has traditionally been a tw o-year position, a num ber of analysts are invited to

rem ain for a th ird year, an d several of these are hired as first-year associates after com pleting

the ir third year.

W hen considering candidates for the positions in the firm, we look for a record of

ou tstanding academic achievem ent, extracurricular involvem ent, w ork experience, and

dem onstrated leadership skills. Successful candidates are articulate, able to w rite effectively, and

able to w ork well with others.We look favorably on degrees in all subjects, though some fam iliarity w ith accounting,
