“Today, the concept rests upon
the person to whom one In mar
ried, with considerably loss em
phasis ori the solicit ity of the
marriage slate."
Take* ‘Three’ for Marriage
“Since success of marriage is
more difficult to achieve today,
the couple entering into the bond
should recognize that ‘It taken
three.’ Cod makes possible the
union of two into one, the ulti
tnaie purpose of marriage, l*ev.
Spear continued.
“The couple must consider it a
privilege to bo entrusted with the
Jot) of bringing forth children
arid raining them."
In his potnl-by-polnt discussion
based on the questions digpussed
In the lecture given by Jaihes
I ’etci ui Sunday, Hev. Spear
dealt with the problem of youth
in regard to today's low stand
ards of literature.
He explained why the Roman
Catholic Church takes it uj»on
Itself the it spotislbility of < ensor
lng the reading and entertain
ment of its members, giving the
Church’s stand that it is the
('hurch’a iluty to watch after the
moral development of youth.
Natural Ijiwh Ignored
"Youth,” he said, "are made
to mv that wx without love, the
home, and family has no mean
ing. no beauty. If the natural
Iuwb are Ignored und their re
mits not considered, they cannot
endow the individual with the rc
wardH that were intended," Spear
continued.
Kev. Spear’s feeling that a
woman's contribution to marriage
i-i based on her ability to respond
to tenderness and intellectual
love was expressed in his belief
that she was created to Vs- more
than a physical creation.
On inter-faith marriage. Rev.
Spear stated that “though the
Church recognizes them, it re
alizes that serious conflicts often
arise. Thus the Church does not
encourage it."
Children Instructed
"In the case of a mixed mar
riage. the children are required
to be Instructed in the Catholic
faith because of the responsi
bility of the parent to pass on to
his children those beliefs he be
lieves to he true.”
Rev. Spear also emphasized
thill marriage must be seriously
considered, problems anticipated,
and the partners properly pre
pared to face those problems in
order to insure the success of the
relationship.
College Athletics
(Continued front pot/e two)
happens to he a star halfback.
What then is the function of
big-time inter-collegiate ath
letics? Perhaps it is to train
those players who end up on
genuinely professional athletic
teams. If this is their function,
then the athletic department
should be raised to the status
of a professional school. Rut
this is not likely to be accept
able to many university ad
ministrators.
, Athletics arc obviously not
set up to entertain or enlighten
university students (Portland
games are a good local example).
It's hard to see how nearly-pro
fcssional athletics benefit uni
versities when one views the
contradictious between their
goals and those of athletics.
Aside from the obvious an
swer of the athletic department,
the only real beneficiary is the
anonymous sports fan who sits
in the bleachers or in front of
liis television set and is enter
tained by the action.
Such entertainment of the
general public on the cultural
level of “I Love Lucy" or pro
fessional wrestling seems hard
ly the proper function of any
part of a good university.
Further hi liefs of the Islam re
ligion were given by Medhi,
stressing the de-emphasis of po
lygamy.
"The Moslems are almost unanl-1
mously monogamous because of
the stipulation that ‘a man may
marry four women provided hr
is just and can love them all
equally. This, hr satrt, is diffi
cult to do because the belief pre
vails that* no man is Just. Today,
polygamy is forbidden under civil ’
law in many of the Arab states.” j
Arab Custom Given
"The custom.” he explained, "in
Arabia is such that the mother
finds the son a wife. However,
this doesn't occur today in the !
large cities among the educated
people.”
Medhi feels that the custom !
will disappear when the country
becomes wealthy.
"Marriage must be based on
the mutual respect of the indi-1
vldusl as a life-long partner.
Each member should Ire Inde
pendent yet together.” he added.
The modern feeling is that the
two persons, free and equal, must j
be willing and aware of the re- j
sponsibilitlea in order to enter
into a healthy relationship.”
A question-and-answer period
followed the talks, in which it
was pointed out that there 1s
little controversy among the Mos
lems as to Inter-faith marriages.
They are permitted, in the belief ‘
that all who believe In God are ;
saved, he said. The children are
left to choose their beliefs after
being exposed to all faiths.
