Page Three - The SKYSCRAPER - May 3,1968 Clarke names Sister St. George dean; Sister Joan Delaney teaches at Berkeley Two faculty members have accepted new positions for the 1968-1969 academic year. Sis ter St. George Thompson, edu cation department, has been named academic dean of Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa, effective Aug. 1. Sister Joan Delaney, chairman of the Russian department, accepted a position as assistant profes sor in the department of Slavic languages and literature at the Univeristy of California, Ber keley. Majoring in history, Sister St. George received her A.B. from Mundelein in 1960. In 1961 and 1963 she was awarded her A.M. and Ph.D. in educa tion from the University of Chicago. In her five years at Munde lein, she designed and directed the Upward Bound War on Talent Waste Program and served as a member of the task force of the faculty sen ate. Also, she was elected to the academic board twice. In the area of administration she served as acting chairman of the department of education in 1963 and as sophomore ad visor and moderator in 1964 and 1966. The Upward Bound Pro gram was Sister's most re warding experience due to the genuineness of the work and the people with whom I worked. When asked if she would de sign an Upward Boue Pro gram at Clarke she remarked she would encourage every institution to have this. But her philosophy is to work with in the particular institution and attune herself to its needs to be and do what they like best. Besides her new appoint ment at Berkeley, Sister Joan Delaney will participate in the 1968 summer exchange of Rus sian and English language teachers between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Skyscraper photo by Kathy Riley Sister Joan Delaney Father McKenzie questions morality of Vietnam conflict by Zoe Hillenmeyer , Speaking on the morality of the war in Vietnam, Father John L. McKinzie S.J., continued the series of talks sponsored by the Student Mobilization Committee, April 29, in McCormick Lounge. McKenzie is a Jesuit theologian and author of The Two-Edged Sword. Remember, he said in his opening statement, it is quite incorrect to speak of our war in Vietnam. This can only lead to confusion in thinking. He mentioned that there were cer tain formalities required by in ternational law for armed con flict to be a war and said he preferred to refer to it as a conflict. It's an easy subject to treat ... a sitting duck, he said, to disprove the justice of the so-called war along the four classic principles of the ethics of the Jnst war. He answered the first requirement, that a war have a just cause, with the statement that he had heard no definite declaration of war from representatives of the government. It is not a war of self-de fense, he went on to say, since North Vietnam presents no threat to the United States it self. How does one (North Vietnamese) commit aggression in his own country? he asked: and since when is the fact that someone is a communist a just reason to shoot him? The second requirement of a just war is that there be rea sonable and well-founded hope of success. He challenged that the administration ls unsure of victory so unsure that the president does not wish to con tinue in his office. He added laughingly, why we have been assured of victory since you were in grade school. Thirdly, war should be the ultimate resort in solving dif ferences between nations. Mc Kenzie stated that by no means could one be sure other meth ods had been attempted. He made the point that Eisen hower had not held the prom ised elections in 1954 because he was afraid our boys would lose. The final requisite of a just war, according to ethics, is that a nation employ only the violence necessary to gain Its end. Our tactics are comparable to those of the conquering Assyrians, said McKenzie. We intend to defend South Vietnam until every South VI- namese is dead. Showing that the war flunked the classic require ments of a just war, McKenzie came to the major point of his talk There is no such thing as a just war. He then ex pressed his feeling that the previous standardsbe dis carded with everything else outdated in the church. He referred to the gospels and the example of Christ as grounds for his premise. Then bringing it down to more hu man terms, he said it was animal for man to resort to violence to solve his differ- Skyscraper photo by Kathleen Cummins Father John L. McKenzie ences. Man's rationality makes negotiation and compromise possible. Disregarding even this prem ise and stating that the United States engaged In an unjust war, he called the killing in the war murder, and the destruc tion of property arson. In theory, he said, that would make American leaders crim inals, but he preferred to refer to them as honest but mis guided men. Concluding that one could not change the atti tude of a misguided man by saying I hate you , he ap pealed to his listeners to abol ish war as a means of solv ing differences. One should do this, he said, by trying to change public opinion and working through the channels of the government. Father McKenzie, who was a former faculty member at Loy ola and Mundelein, now teaches at Notre Dame.
