Student Choir
Seeks Members
An invitation to all students in-
terested in joining the student
choir has been extended by Bro-
ther Charles Escobar, CSC, choir
moderator. The purpose of the
student choir is to chant the high
Masses at the student chapel in
the morning.
The date for the first practice
has not yet been set. However,
once the choir is organized, prac-
tices will be held once a week in
the student chapel.
Anyone interested in joining the
student choir can contact either
Brother Charles, Carlos Rodriguez
in 308 Andre, or Larry Gries in
322 Premont.
dent by giving him only a partial
education. Through the Liturgy
we come in contact with God, and
become conscious of an awarenes®
of God within ourselves. There-
fore, the liturgical workshop is
of tremendous importance to our
students.”
Carlos Rodriguez, program
chairman for the Texas Region
of NFCCS, emphasizes the object
of the workshop: “In the light
of Christian commitment, Liturgy
is a prerequisite. As responsible
Christians, we have the oppor-
turity to contribute to an aware-
ness of what Liturgy is and to
learn how this is to be manifested
in our lives. It is hoped that by
this workshop we may receive the
basis for this awareness and pre-
sent it to the student as some-
thing good and important.”
Over 100 campus leaders and
several college chaplains are ex-
pected to attend the , workshop.
St. Edward’s will also, for the
first time, be hosting representa-
tives from the Newman clubs of
Texas.
“Student government officials
who work in NFCCS learn more
of the operations of basic Catho-
lic concepts, and apply this know-
ledge by influencing their fellow
students,” stresses Father Johns-
ton.
Program chairman Rodriguez
explains, “This workshop should
put into action two phases of the
complete education by allowing
student leaders to discuss the lit-

guests will be held in Premont’s
luxurious lounge. The reception
will be followed by dinner in the
University dining hall at 7:00 pm.

president, will be the main speak-
er. He will speak on the future

Several hundred people have

Alpha Chi Sets
Panel Date
On Monday evening, October 19,
at 8 pm, Alpha Chi will present
its first book panel of the year
on Senator Barry Goldwater’s
latest book, “Where I Stand.” The
book panel will consist of two
students and two party represen-
tatives, one from each of the state
political headquarters. A limited
number of the books is presently
available in the University book-
store.
The Bell science series, a group
of movies on various branches of.
science, is being used as an in-
tegral part of Philosophy 21, The
Philosophy of Nature.
The study of the general science
of nature is concerned with a
study of physical reality. The
course follows the line of develop-
ment in the individual’s own
mind; that is, he first observes
physical reality, then he ques-
tions or wonders about it. A vi-
carious experience with physical
reality is provided in these
movies.
The same system was used two
years ago at SEU by Father
George Welch, OP, asociate pro-
fessor of philosophy and theology,
in a similar course. According to
Father Welch, the venture met
with varying degrees of success.
He said that in these times "there
is a big lack on the part of most
of us in observing physical reali-
ty ... so we try to help the stu-
dent with these movies.” Students
tend to be too narrow in their
outlook he said. They see some-
thing of biology and think only
of biology.
Tonight the liturgical workshop
begins as the Texas Region of the
National Federation of Catholic
College Students convenes on
campus. Workshop activities will
continue through Sunday.
The workshop is to be conduct-
ed under the direction of Rev-
erend Joseph J. Mazaika from
Yukon, Oklahoma. Father Mazai-
ka is president of the Southwest
Liturgical commission, which is
affiliated with the National
Liturgical commission.
Students at St. Edward’s are
welcomed to attend all the work-
shop sessions; however, only
those students who have paid the
two dollar registration fee will be
excused from Saturday classes.
Special permission for the use
of English in the Masses to be
offered Saturday and Sunday has
been granted by the Bishop. This
gives to St. Edward’s the distinc-
tion of being the first in the
diocese of Austin to implement
the vernacular, which will be of-
ficially introduced November 29.
The aim of this special work-
shop is to help the student gain
a better understanding of the
value of the Mass, and to provide
practical suggestions for imple-
menting the new liturgy on the
campus and in the parish.
Father Maurice Johnston, OP,
director of student affairs, states,
“The university that trains a
student to deal only with his fel-
low man and neglects his relation-
ship with God is failing the stu-

urgy with their fellow students.”
The workshop is sponsored in
conjunction with the Student Ac-
tivities council of SEU. Other
SEU students active in the con-
vention are Paul McDermott, reg-
istrar; George Natsis, in charge
of hospitality; Larry Gries, music
director; and Joe Todaro, who is
editor of the NFCCS regional
newsletter.

theology sponsored by the Luther-
an Campus Ministry at the Uni-
versity of Texas. He will talk on
The Reformation Revisited with
Reverend Gustav Kopka, jr,

In The Reformation Revisited,
“the basic issues between Luther-
anism and Roman Catholicism as
viewed at the time of the Re-
formation and the changing atti-
tudes and climates as observed
(sic) Roman Catholic and Luther-
an circles today” are discussed.
Reverend Kopka, a native of
Germany, is presently working
for his PhD degree in the classics-
patristic field at UT. He has
studied at the State University of
Iowa, and at the Lutheran School
of Theology in Chicago.
The purpose of the lay studies
in theology program is to help
laymen clarify the great issues of
faith and life. The studies seek
to equip men and women for the
