The Charles Carroll Forum of DePaul University opened its 27th season Oct. 9, presenting not only Marcel the legend but Marcel the man to a capacity audience in the Consti tution Ballroom of the Morrison Hotel. Two thousand eight hundred bearded young men, sisters, priests, brothers, earnest spectacled stu dents and gray-haired professional men jammed the Ballroom and two other rooms equipped with closed circuit TV to hear the internation ally famous playwright, critic and existentialist come to grips with Existentialism and the Problems of Life. This was the graying philosopher's first Midwest appear ance and, as the audience discov ered, Marcel in person made life even more vital than Marcel the writer. Because of the crowds the pro gram began half an hour late, but when the Very Reverend Comerford J. O'Malley, CM., president of DePaul University, and Reverend John T. Richard son, vice president, appeared to confer an honorary doctor of phi losophy degree on the aging Frenchman, the room was silent. Father Richardson, in conferring the degree, spoke of Marcel's tal ent for persuading, developing and reproaching modern man President, Dean, Chairman Attend UNESCO 'New Directions' Meeting Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., Mundelein president. Sister Mary Ignatia, B.V.M., academic dean, and Sister Mary Eloise, B.V.M., chairman of the economics department, have been invited to attend the ninth na tional conference of the United States National Commission for UNESCO. The meeting, Oct. 23-26, at the Conrad Hilton Hotel, will investigate the fundamental changes taking place in contemporary Europe and the implications of those changes for the United States. More than 1,500 academic and community leaders and representa tives of national organizations will attend. Titled The New Europe and the United States: New Directions, the conference will be divided into plenary sessions, symposia and seminars. Plenary sessions include consid eration of the following topics: The Old World and the New Eu rope presented by Rene Mahew, director general of UNESCO, The New Europe and the New World, Regional Grouping and the United Nations, Development of the Eu ropean Cooperation in Science, International Schools and The Cultural Community and Cultural Diversity of the North Atlantic Nations. Symposia topics are: European Societies in Transition, Europe and the United States, The De veloped and the Developing Na tions, Individual Sovereignty in a Complex Society, Nationalism vs. Supranationalism and The Growth of Supranational Communi ties. The United States National Com mission for UNESCO is required under Public Law 565 to call gen eral conferences. and pointed out Marcel's convic tion of the inherent worth of every man. Introducing Marcel to the audi ence, Dr. Gerald F. Kreyche, chair man of the department of philoso phy at DePaul, reminded the audi ence of Marcel's influence on the world of today. According to Kreyche, Marcel brings to his age an appeal to the person against the anonymous masses which threaten to extinguish the person. Comparing Marcel to other So- cratic thinkers, Kreyche said that in Marcel's inter-personal relation ships, love provides the central theme ... But Marcel's best contribution is giving men pause to reflect. Born in France in 1889 the young Marcel learned early to communicate with the creatures of his imagination. His plays show variations on the theme of human loneliness, misunderstand ing and forsaken love. His long ing for communication finds it self in his philosophic and cul tural writings. The concern for communication between men was obvious in Mar cel's lecture as he discussed his own search for truth in Italy and Ger many during the troubled war years and pointed out the need for existence and a certainty of exist ence in those times of turmoil. He recalled a conversation with a woman on a train in Italy when the two discussed existence and existentialism. According to the woman, it was only a frame of mind, which evidentally made life simpler. But what about Marcel, the Christian existentialist? Marcel has always warned of the danger that modern man faces as the forces of an ex clusively technical civilization threaten to engulf his person ality, thinking existence in man is different from thinking jet, to exist is to be an individual and you cannot be an existant with out love. The love that Marcel speaks of is the love that must exist between two people as they discover they are alike and can communicate with each other. The loneliness goes out of each and they discover their own existence because of the existence of each other. Then existence is truly real, because it is concrete. When we say existence in gen eral, we must mean each thing that exists in the world for the system only becomes real as the individuals are real. Marcel spoke, too, of his concepts of the ideas that enlighten man in this life. According to Marcel, the spirit of truth is at the root of all life. The problem of the existence of God and His relationship to man has always been a source of inter est to the converted Frenchman. He cannot reach God as an ob ject, rather he must find the way and encounter God. Faith then, is a union which makes man more free. The deep freedom in man should prompt him to thank Him for all He has given us. After speaking for an hour, Marcel left the podium of the Charles Carroll Forum humbly apologizing for having kept you so long, proving to the still-rapt au dience that 50 million Frenchmen can't be wrong Marcel is a living legend of the 20th century. Jfn Sympathy The faculty and student body of Mundelein College extend sincere sympathy to Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., president, on the death of her mother. tion that produces the appearance of death in her for 48 hours and tells Romeo to meet her at the Capulet vault where they will flee together. But Romeo goes to the tomb unaware of the potion and, believing his wife dead, commits suicide. When Juliet awakens and sees the dead Romeo she takes her own life. Comedy Contrasts Tragedy The Taming of the Shrew pro vides a pleasant contrast to the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. The story unfolds in Padua and re volves around the two daughters of a wealthy merchant, Baptista (Burke Holden). Kate Michaellene Federowicz, Mae Muscarello) is quick-tempered and unruly, while her sister Bianca (Bonnie Czar- necki) is sweet and lovable. Bap tista decides that Bianca must wait until her sister Kate is married be fore she chooses a husband. Wit Wins Shrew Meanwhile, Petruchio (Bob Bo- burka) comes from Verona in search of a wealthy wife. He hears of Kate, declares she is the woman for him and decides to woo and wed such a shrew. Many witty scenes ensue until Petruchio wins Kate's love. Now Bianca is free to choose a husband and finally rests her choice on Lucentio (Lon Wright), her tu tor in language. Hortensio (James Cermak), one of Bianca's former suitors, marries a widow. A triple wedding feast concludes the play and the unruly Kate proves to be a most obedient wife. Directing the plays are Lynne Bjorklund for Romeo and Juliet and Eileen Teasdale for The Tam ing of the Shrew. Tickets priced at 1.50 will be on sale near the elevators. NF Examines 'Parish Rules' The NFCCS questionnaire Your Role in Your Parish, sponsored in colleges and universities across the* nation, will be distributed at Mun delein in theology classes today and tomorrow. It is to be returned at the next scheduled theology class. Forms will be distributed in the lounge area for those not studying the ology this semester. The purpose of the questionnaire is to determine a college student's opinion of his own degree of in volvement in the parish. It is widely held that the gradu ate of the Catholic college is not contributing as much to the life of the parish as his abilities and tal ents permit. The questionnaire is the first step in a program designed to encourage thought about the na ture of the parish and methods to make the parish the first and pri mary community of Christian life. Religious Affairs Secretariat chairman James Lawrence of St. Anselm's, New Hampshire, hopes to compile results from responses to 100,000 questionnaires and pre sent the findings to the bishops of America.
