SG PROPOSES SOLUTION
Last week at the SG meeting, the
proposal was made to not allow anyone
who (1) did not have an activity stick-
er and (2) was not the guest of some-
one with a sticker into social or form-
al committee functions.
This proposal was prompted by a
problem new to UD. The University
of Dallas has begun to make its facil-
ities available to outside concerns.
In this particular case the firm is the
English Language School located in
to at least sense and be the International Center. The ELS has
opening for grace, attracted to the UD campus several
hundred new bodies.
Although not all live on campus,
The
result has been that an increasing
number of students who are not under-
graduates have begun to take part
in the SG social functions. This had
POPE CLEMENT XI’S PR A YER. . .
Courageous in taking risks.
Make me patient in suffering,
Unassuming in prosperity.
Keep me, Lord, attentive at prayer,
Temperate in food and drink,
Diligent in my work,
Firm in my good intentions.
S.U.B. STANDARD
WeLco^t,
Theology as a discipline presents
a number of difficulties for the academ-
ic enterprise. Some of them are pseudo-
problems--notably the church-state issue:
tax money cannot be used to advance
or inhibit the interest of any religion or
.sect. This condition applies to student
loans and grants as well as to institu-
tional finances and, therefore, pseudo
or not, is an important issue. Does the
teaching of theology in a university
whose students receive government
funds violate the test? That question is
one for legislatures and courts; academia
has a different question--is theology an
honest discipline?--and the legitimacy
of its inclusion in the curricula rests on
this point. As it happens, a yes answer
to the second question satisfies the first.
A careful, dispassionate attachment to
truth is always one’s best guide through
the thickets of law.
Theology is a legitimate study.
For any culture, a concern for its reli-
gion is central to an understanding of
its nature. But theology is not anthro-
pology. Neither is it philosophy or psy-
chology. It cannot so stand at arms
length from its subject. There is no
dodging the proposition that theology
involves belief. The theologian is a be-
lieving person speaking to others who
may or may not be believers, speaking
quietly, not demanding belief yet testi-
fying in his total presence to the valid-
ity and value of belief. His work is
sharply intellectual and speculative but
certain in its outcome. That duality of
testimony is the essence of the disci-
pline. Yet it is not, in itself, religion.
To thus cut the line so fine for theology
would seem to leave it little room to
walk; actually it does not differ in the
delineation from any discipline which
must be supported on all sides by other
kinds of thought.

From the Other President
caused some friction for a number of
reasons.
First, the revenue generated by
charging 250 admission to these peo-
ple is minimal. Second, the number
of students involved presents a prob-
lem. In effect, the Undergraduate
school has been asked to "absorb"
these new arrivals into the communi-
ty. But their sheer number makes this
difficult. (If this were UT Austin it
would be another story). Last, the
timing was not ideal. They arrived
on campus at the same time that the
SUB was obliterated, the air condi-
tioners for the cafeteria inadequate,
and the lunch lines already long e-
nough.
The final outcome of this issue is
not yet known. But whatever the de-
cision, students should be aware of
the reasons.

The problem of belief is an easier
one to handle on this campus than on
others because of a deep entanglement
here with myth which no student es -
capes. The intrusion of truth into the
universe in guises other than rational is
an accepted process, instructing the in-
tuition in such a manner that faith can
be recognized as a sturdy substance,
susceptible to analysis, to scholarship,
even to sociological criticism without
losing its intrinsic character. Indeed,
what makes the discipline exciting is
its assimilation of everything that buf-
fets it. Not that these external assaults
carry no danger: they may lead away
from the discipline rather than into it,
as many of us believe sociology has
done so in our day. Too, the would-be
disciple may hide from theology in a
study of history, in scholarship, in lit-
erature, in methodology, or he may
escape from it in rationality, but, on
the other hand, all these stratagems
can be legitimate masks for the true
practitioner to don, in deference to a
skeptical world. Behind the masks the
theologian must face the strange juxta-
position of faith and reason which is
the core of his discipline--face it bold-
ly in an ever-contingent present, yet
mildly in the certainty of a cumulative
tradition.
Theology as a mode of thought
is not an easy discipline to assume in
our time. Intellectually it is an im-
portant one, necessary for every under-
standing person t~

It is not likely to become a popular
undergraduate major. Yet it may be the
one presently best fitted to bring a per- most live close enough to walk,
son that totality of being wh ich can
unify a fragmented world.
