Students Ex At Marriag4 By BETTY ANN NICHOLSON Staff Reporter In an informal give-and-take of questions and answers, Rev. J. Claude Evans, ediitor of the Metho (list Advocate, led marriage seminars Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoons in the Lawv Auditorium. The dliscussions were open to all students and they seemed to have a lot to say (luring them. Rev. Evans posedl a question such as: "Why do people get married ?,' and everyone gave his opinion, then Rev. Evans gave his answer. Some of the reasons for people getting marriedi that the studlents gave were: mutual interests, phy sical attraction, security, money, understanding, need to reform, boredom, companionship, desire to share, affection, desire to dom inate, desire for social advance. ment, sex desires, rebound, being in love with love, for the pursuit of happiness, puppy love, and in fatuatIon. Then Rev. Evans told the Christian reason for marriage: "to achieve growth toward one. nless, physically, mentally, and spiritually." He further stated, "This 'definition' muist be inter preted in terms of human nature." Jesus said, "And the twain shall be one," and Rev. Evans' definition follows right on the heels of Jesus' wordis. The spiritual reason for love is, "You can't walk alone." itiate New Member t Tonight BUYCK eporter urer in economics, will be ini of Omicron Delta Kappa, na iety, tonight at 7 p. m. at the d Shepherd on Blanding St., 1. Sandburg Urges Wise Time Usage Carl Sandburg, in his lectur( here last Friday, stressed the im. portance of developing the abilit3 to be entertained in lonelines. without the necessity of movie radio, or television. He urged the students not to waste their time An overflow crowd of students and visitors filled Drayton Hall to hear the talk. The lecture wa: informal and combined with read ings of his works and an im promptu ballad recital. Sandburg said that all truly great poems have an element of mystery and music which often makes them difficult to understand without long, serious study. He struck out at the new criticism movement with the reading of one of his unpublished poeme, "One Sad Poet," attacking the abstractionm of the new school of critics. On( line of the poem is "sad is the fac in the vogue of the vague." He read several of his poems some whimsical, some vividly pic. torial, and some philosophical. Hi; ne!ection:; included humorous treat. ments of such subjects as worms boxes, bags, platitudes, and poli. tics. The titles of some of these were "The Abvacadiobra Boys,' selections from "The Littl< People," "Cornucopia," "Names,' and "Conversation with Saint X.' An unpublished poem, "Man, the Moon Shooter," was included it his readings. The poet closed the program with the singing of two Negrc spirituals and an old Welsh ballad He accompanied himself on e guitar. (See picture on page three.) thange Ideas a Seminars Evans gave, you can not possibl3 be in love with someone who isn'i in love with you. Neither eari you be in love wvith two people at the same time. Answering the question of basic dlifferences before marriage or problems such as social, religious, and family beliefs, Rev. Evans said dlefinitely, "These twvo should not marry. If love and under standing can't grow before mar riage, they certainly aren't going to grow after." The question "Is it wise to marry without p)arental approval?" was answeredl also wvith a "no.' Parents usually have a good, basic reason for not liking a companior of their son or daughter and for this reason a period of time should be allowed for parent and child tc get to know the person in doubt better. During this period, twc things may come to light. If the person (does have a basic fault, the daughter will realize it. It may also be realized at this time thai one has possessive p)arents an( their reason for dlisa)proval is strictly one of selfishness an( jealousy. "If this is confirmed,' Rev. Evans adlvisedl, "there shouk be a break, for possessive parentU will go on being possessive parents no matter what." "Can you help love grow ?" was another question asked. You not only can, but you must, Rev (Continued on Page 6) Rabbi Abraham Rosenberg is pi which began Monday and ended y< Spigner is on the left of the speak Newman Club Honor Footbal Walt Shea and John "Lip" the 1952 edition of the Gamec guests of honor at the annual b on Friday, November 19.
