Spring Concert on Tuesday, May
24at6p.m. at the Emmanuel Temple
Church at 1033 N. Summer in north
Portland.
The University of Portland will host “Teaching,
Faith, and Service: The Foundation of Freedom,” a
conference examining the intersection of the Catho­
lic intellectual life and American culture, from June

The conference theme is rooted in the identity of
the sponsoring institutions as Catholic, holy cross,

“Those institutions are uniquely situated and
especially obligated to contribute to the intellectual,
moral, and religious development of our com m uni­
ties to serve the common good,” says Margaret
Hogan, holder of the M cNemey-Hanson Chair in
Ethics and Executive Director o f the Garaventa Cen­
ter.
Among topics to be explored during the three-
day conference are the intrinsic worth and dignity of
every human being; social responsibility of busi­
nesses; care of the earth; capital punishment;
assisted suicide; children and poverty; and more.
On Thursday, June 2, at 6 p. m., Honorable John
T. Noonan, U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit,
will speak in Buckley Center Auditorium on cam ­
pus. N oonan’s lecture, titled “Transparency in
Theology: The Necessary Condition for Catholic
Teaching,” is free and open to the public.
On Friday, June 3 at 7:30 p.m., David Solomon,
director o f the Center for Ethics and Culture at
University of Notre Dame, will lecture on assisted
suicide. The lecture, also in Buckley Center Audi­
torium, is titled “Doctors, Death, and Democratic
Culture,” and is free and open to the public.
The conference is sponsored by the Garaventa
Center forCatholic Intellectual Life and American
Culture, in conjunction with the University of
Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture.
