Theologian redefines Christianity as Man's need for love, we have it' by Kathleen Cummins Rosemary Haughton, Yorkshire theologian and author of The Transformation of Man, spoke in McCormick Lounge Oct. 29, explaining simply what Christianity is for: People need hope, and we have it. Mrs. Haughton stressed that she couldn't defend Christianity, since Christianity isn't an intellectual or philosophical system that can be argued. Instead, Christianity points to an experi ence beyond definition in normal language. The purpose of being said, is announcing salvation Christian, Mrs. Haughton and preaching the Gospel. But we have no complete defini tion of salvation for it is a dimension of experience that we haven't lived. This is one of many areas of the human ignorance from which comes every kind of evil. That man wants something more than physical exis tence is obvious, since the im portant events in our memory are usually associated with an enlargement of our normal experience, Mrs. Haughton added. Man's destiny is total ly expanded experience, a life of no ignorance, for the hu- A precondition for preaching is a cultural climate of securi ty in which people can listen, for we have no right to ex pect listening from people in want, struggling for existence.

He's consistent and I like the way he stays calm on TV with all that Bar-B-que sauce on him; he showed class roared Grego ry. The black folks yell about his poverty program. But I have a solution. I'd give all the black people the white people's good jobs and put the white people on what I call the 'White Folks Rest Plan'; they'd just sit back and re ceive pay, relief, for sittin'. Man those black folks would have the damnedest march on my White House ycllin' nig ger, nigger' chortled the tall black leader. On the subject of Negro progress, Gregory noted that so few Americans are aware of the areas in which blacks are making progress. After all, last year we even had our own Beulah, the first colored hurricane, the second will be Sambo. As a candidate, Gregory kept in mind, however, that he was appearing as a politi cal candidate as he inter spersed humor with his plat form. You young are the most morally committed people in the country. If the problems are solved and the nation doesn't fall, it'll be because of you. You young are in a spot, all your parents and grandpar ents have used all the tricks. There are no more for you to use. All the problems, and no tricks. So it's up to you, your minds. Kids say their parents lie, but in ten years look back and say that 'Brother Gregory didn't lie', for kids are always searching. Even when they are small ma and pa say 'Get to bed, now, or Santa isn't gonna bring you any gifts Well, Lord, man, I know no white man's gonna be in my neighborhood at midnight Gregory remarked that the new left is not the far left. The youth have to see through the tricks. The first national problem is always listed as air pollu tion, but we know it is not true, the problem is moral pollution, yes, moral pollution. For, how can one explain that three days after the Demo cratic convention here, (Chi cago) that the power struc ture went out of their way to tell you that you didn't see what you saw? Gregory went on to explain more about the Democratic convention complete with the hippies, yippies, sightseers, armed guards and lastly, the delegates. In Chicago at convention time, an estimated crowd of 15,000 hippies and yippies con verged on the town.

Christians have an under standing of how to become more fully human because through the resurrection, Christ crossed the baiTiers of ignorance. This understanding can't be learned, but it can be recollected, and it is the responsibility of the Christian to trigger, with the hint of his way of life, this recollection in others in short, to preach. end in itself, and people lose sight of what to hope for. In which case the need for a prophet arises. Today's reac tion against smugness and middle class complacency evokes Christian values, Mrs. Haughton noted. That love is something that matters is a new idea in rebellion, she said, referring to make love not war slogans which have replaced the bread and cir- (Continued on page 4) Homecoming events include cotillion, football, concert As part of the third annual all-college weekend, the Cotillion, entitled Marina Mist, will be held tonight at Marina Towers.
