President Synthesizes Theology Conference Reporting her impressions of seeing the men who made the history of Vatican II at a confer ence held at Notre Dame Univer sity recently, Sister Mary Ann Ida, B.V.M., president, chose for her theme Pope John XXIII's opti mism for the world we live in. Sister said this is optimism in the face of 'God is Dead.' Sister addressed an audience of students and faculty in McCormick Lounge April 6. Theologian Godfrey Diekmann, O.S.B., set the tone of the meeting, Sister said, by emphasizing the role of bishops in making Vatican II a renewal, rather than rubber stamp process. Diekmann said that when the bishops asked to participate in Vol. XXXVI Mundelein College, Chicago 26, April 20, 1966 Award-winner Navy, Mundelein Chorus Portrays Life Of Red China Perform Musical Variety A view of Red China will be available to Mundelein students and faculty April 25 at 3:30 p.m. in the College Theater when the sociology department presents China a 65-minute color documen tary. Dr. Felix Greene, author and producer of the movie, traveled 15,000 miles through China on a British passport, interviewing and photographing the Chinese people for his movie. Dr. Greene was prohibited from traveling in Tibet, areas of Sinkiang and other cities and was not allowed to photograph military sites, but was otherwise unrestricted. Publishes Books One of the few Americans to travel through Red China, Dr. Greene has visited the country four times and has published two books on his travels, Awakened China and A Curtain of Ignorance. His last visit was for British tele vision at which time he was asked to film the daily lives of the Chi nese people rather than the strictly political aspects of the country. Dr. Greene has emphasized the fact that his film was not censored by Chinese authorities before his departure from the country and he goes on to explain ... you will see China as I saw it and from the time that I first went there, I discovered a country quite different from the one I had expected ... Wins Award The first U.S. showing of China was at Carnegie Hall Cinema in New York where it had a record- breaking 12-week run. In 1965 it received the Award of Merit at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and NBC television has acclaimed it as The most extensive pictorial report we have yet had on Red China . . . fascinating . . . most amazing. The Bluejacket Choir of the Na val Chorus from Great Lakes, 111., will be welcomed by the Mundelein College Chorus in a joint concert April 24, 8 p.m. in the College Theater. The two groups will sing a medley of songs from The Sound of Music by Rodgers and Ham- merstein. They also will sing Dark Waters, a Negro spiritual by Will James. Each chorus also will perform several numbers alone. Two med leys of show tunes, from Milk and Honey and Showboat will be sung by the College Chorus. They also will sing Stardust, Hungarian folk songs by Bela Bartok and the Good-bye quartet from Martlia, an opera by Flotow. The concert is free of charge and everyone is welcome to attend. May 7 and 8, two weeks after the concert, the Chorus members will travel to Cleveland, Ohio, to sing with the men's chorus at John Car roll University. by Brenda Dinneen nominations for study commissions, they demonstrated from the begin ning of the Council that they were taking an active part. Beginning with the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, the emphasis of the Coun cil swung to a rethinking of the essentials, Sister said. She outlined four ramifications of Diekmann's description of the Council's tone. Primary in the minds of the Council's participants, she said, was the concept of the Church living as the people of God. Since the Council of Trent, the Church has become a juridical, hier archical organization. It was the Church of the structure. Now, the Church is the people of God, a whole people engaged in activating the Church, she said. Proceeding from the circular, in clusive aspect of the Church, the importance of the laity was in sistently stressed at the Council, Sister said. This concentration and concern over the role of laity will strongly effect women, Sister added. Thirdly, the Council led to the re discovery of the importance of the local worshipping community. Sis ter mentioned the experimental store front churches planned to de-emphasize the building of the Church and outline the importance of the group. As the recognition of the need of the people's role in the com munity grew, so did the Church's acknowledgment that the liturgy must be adapted to the culture of the times, Sister said. Maybe the signs and symbols, not only the language of the lit urgy, are outdated. There is no particular virtue in uniformity, although the Latin of the Mass did afford this, Sister said. On the contrary, Sister said, Perhaps unity could be furthered by cultural adaptation. One does not have to become Western in or der to become Catholic, she com mented. If the Church is not to be a monument to irrelevance, Sister added, she must be the Church of Upward Bound For Government Qualifies Allotment A telegram April 15 from the Office of Economic Opportunity in formed Sister Mary St. George, B.V.M., project director for the Upward Bound program, that Mun delein has been granted 73,000 as a new chapter of the project which will aim at preparing Inner- City high school students for col lege and a career. Sister Mary Eloise, B.V.M., and Sister Mary Carita, B.V.M., associ ate directors, announced that re cruiting begins this week for 15 Mundelein students who will work for seven weeks this summer as paid tutor-counselors. The job in cludes tutoring the high school girls in reading, speech, mathematics or a foreign language; residing with the participants in the Northland apartments; conducting informal discussions; and assisting instruc tors in clerical work. Students applying for positions must be recommended by a faculty member for the subject in which they will be tutoring and must have an interest in working with girls. Preference will be given to students with secondary education minors and to residents. Upward Bound will consist of a summer session from June 29 to Aug. 20 and a follow-up program in 1966-67 in which 50 high school students from nearby Lakeview and Uptown districts will receive both career counseling and aca demic instruction. The high school girls are selected on the basis of financial need, interest and college potential. The summer session will feature five field trips designed to acquaint the students with a college cur riculum. The trips will focus on education and psychology, social science, mathematics and science, business and home economics and journalism and advertising. In conjunction with the field trips, the arts program will offer projects in art, drama-music and clothing. A related art apprecia tion course also may be organized. Finally, the summer session in cludes the College-Life program in which the high school girls, to gether with tutors, reside on cam pus. The girls will have an op portunity to participate in the city's cultural events and social activities and to live informally with college students. The 1966-67 plan consists of two Saturday morning classes followed by a counseling or library period. Upward Bound students will be in vited to attend the foreign film series sponsored by the language department. The girls also will be invited to be guests of the seven- day residents once each term. Mundelein has the distinction of being the only Chicago women's college participating in the Up ward Bound project. Northwestern University conducted a pilot pro gram last summer with students from Marshall High School, and Loyola University, Roosevelt Uni versity and the Circle Campus of the University of Illinois are ini tiating the project this year. the '60's, and later the Church of the '70's and '80's. It must be the Church that will not let go of the important, but will move gaily, perhaps, to release the unimpor tant. Complementing Diekmann's ac counts of Vatican IPs meaning, Reverend Karl Rahner, S.J., pre sented his thesis on the newness of the Church, Sister explained, and punctuated his talk with ex cited gestures and movements. Theology now has newer prob lems, and will have to find new Skyscraper Photo by Diane Sargol SISTER MARY ANN IDA, B.V.M, college president, reflects on the implications of Vatican Council II with Maureen McAvey, and Mary Cooney. answers, Sister reported on Rah- ner's thesis. Most of the bishops at the Council, Sister said, understood the importance of study, reflection and discussion before decision-mak ing. Rahner added to Diekmann's con cept of the people of God in his theory of the Church's dialogue with the modern world, Sister com mented. The Church has as much to learn from the world as the world does from the Church: the Church, not the structure, but the people of God, is ready to move into the world, she continued. Besides the new theology, which must find a new relevance in an swer to the God is dead theorists, Rahner proposed that the Church must found a theology of Christ. How are we to explain the way Jesus becomes the Christ of Paul? Sister asked. The Church must also consider man as he is, not as he should be, or was, or will be, Sister pointed out. There is a new hope, Sister said, not a hope that says 'I'll be happy in heaven.' From the old sanctification emerges a more dif ficult piety, she said. Considering man in his present state raises some problems in es- chatology or the study of death, judgment, heaven and hell, she con tinued. She pointed out later that the new piety is not what is commonly referred to as situation ethics, for Situation ethics does not recognize any absolute standards at all. What the Church is moving away from is an oversimplification of the ab solutes, she said. If there's anything the Council will do for you, Sister concluded, it will move you to deeply love the Church. The old clear definitions and for mulas are being opened. There is no certitude even in the gospel. This sort of involvement, Sister said, is going to require a kind of faith that is willing to be at tacked.
