ADDRESS SATURDAY
First Loyola Visit
Of C.O.R.E. Leader
Donnelly Begins
Chaplain's Series
THE DEL REY PLAYERS1 first production of the new season will
play again on Friday and Saturday, October 15 and 16 in Strub
Theatre • • . Here Joe Arnett, Richard Swebney, Terry O’Reilly,

final scene of the third act > • . Tickets are on sale at the Box
officb in Strub Theatre on Thursday and Friday from 1- 5 p.m
and on the eVenings of performances.
On Friday morning, October 2
at 11 a.m. the chaplains began
their series of programs by pre
senting a talk by Mr. William Don¬
nelly, instructor in speech and
communication arts at Loyola Uni
versity. His subject was “Con
science and Christian Communica
tions.”
The title implied a conflict and
a problem, and Mr. Donnelly came
right to the point. “We Christians,
he said, “are the only people that
God has explicitly commanded to
communicate.” He cited the cur¬
rent Ecumenical Council’s Consti¬
tution on Communications, which
exhorts all Catholics to use every
available means to communicate
the truth, beauty, and lovO of J esus
to all men? This
ШШЩ
that if
modern media have failed to pre
sent a Christian viewpoint, all of
us have somehow failed.
Mr. Donnelly did not hesi¬
tate to point out that we as Chris
tians have failed, at least insofar
as we have deliberately tried to
present a Christian viewpoint
through radio, ^/television and mo¬
tion pictures. We have failed be¬
cause we are ignorant of what art
is, and of what bur religion is.
It is clear that we Christians are
ignorant of what art is. It is not
merely the low intellectual level
of many of the letters that Mr.
Donnelly receives as movie critic
for the Tidings that prove this. It
is also the fact that, up until re¬
cently, most deliberate ‘‘Christian
Viewpoint” films, shows, and tapes
have not tried to reach the level
of art but have wallowed in the
dregs of sick propaganda.
It is also evident that we Chris¬
tians are somewhat ignorant of our
own religion, of our much-lauded
“Christian viewpoint.”
If, as Fr. Kaiser, the origi¬
nator of the “Insight” t v. series,

DEAN OF STUDENTS
By BOB SOWINS
At eight o’clock on Saturday night, Oct. 16, the Cultur¬
al Committee will sponsor a major address by James Far¬
mer, national director of the Congress of Racial Equality
(CORE), with its over 60,000 members in some 70 chapters
throughout the United^ States.
The son of a scholar and grandson of a slave, Mr. Far¬
mer today is internationally recognized as an Articulate
spokesman in the struggle for racial equality among all men.
In many of the .emerging nations throughout the world he
is one of the best known Americans and his writings and
his comments are influencing men, everywhere.
First Speaker
The first major civil rights leader to come to Loyola,
James Farmer is packed with emotion and feeling. His deep
bellowing voice is dynamic
and electrifying to audiences
wherever he speaks.
Limited Sealings
He will be travbliiigj fi*brr|
New York, and in order top
help defray travel expenses a|
nominal admission will be •
charged: 50c for students and/;
for the public. (Matters
will be greatly facilitated byg
having correct change) . Stu-|
dents are advised to arrives
early since seating capacityi
(St. Robert’s Hall) is limited.]
James Farmer first attract¬
ed national attention through!
CORE jn 1960 when student*
sit-ins began at a Wool worth’s
lunch counter in Greensboro,
North Carolina and then
spread throughout the South.
He subsequently organized stand-ins against various segre¬
gated public, theaters, swimimng pools, restaurants and bowl¬
ing alleys; These demonstrations were given extensive T.V.
and press coverage.
Activities reached a climax in 1961 when a Freedom
Ride was staged in the South to test whether bus terminal
facilities used in interstate commerce had been desegregated
in accordance with a Supreme Court decision of December,
1960. Although the Freedom Riders met extreme opposition
(Mr. Farmer spent forty days in jail), they were eventually
successful in desegregating 120 bus terminals in the South.
It was in 1942, with a group of students from the Uni¬
versity of Chicago, that James Farmer organized the first
chapter of CORE. Its intention, he said, was “to substitute
bodies for exhortations,” and to apply to the struggle for
racial equality in the U.S. the techniques of non-violent and
passive resistance used by Ghandi in India’s struggle for
independence.
In June, 1943,? GORE staged its first successful sit-in
at a restaurant in the heart of Chicago’s Loop. From the
beginning the organization emphasized not numbers, but
small disciplined groups trained to absorb violence without
retaliation.
First Sit-in
Mr. Farmer was born in Marshall, Texas in 1920. He
is one of three children. His sister is a high school teacher
in Washington D.C. and his brother is an electrical engineer
engaged in research for the Navy. His father was the first
