the 12 had offered their gifts and returned to their sea ts, the kids could still see their gifts ~n the altar, part of them were still there through the Consecration," said Father Rouse. Gestures are important in the liturgy because they help us to express our inward attitude toward God, he said, and by nature, liturgical signs have to be provisional. "We dare not canomze rubrics or signs. We have to live not only according to the virtue of faith, but also hope." The purpose of bodily gestures during liturgy is to bring unity to the soul and body, he said. Purely spiritual public worship is worthless, since the body and soul are not coor- dinated. Worship will always be down-to-earth and human, so that il may intensify the human reaction, he added. Standing is the most basic form of worship, he explained. It has been a sign of respect for centuries. In the Jewish religion, standing was the normal position for prayer. Holy Liberty St. John Chrysostom felt that standing symbolized the "holy Jibe ty of the children of God through baptism." SL Paul said standing indicated U1at "we are no longer laves in disgrace, but free.' T n mi sal, lo be issued 111 N mber, will direct that the people stand during the Canon of the Mass. Kneeling has been a sign of penance and a 'posture of in• di\ 1dual prayer, the Franciscan " t Ba ii thought that kneeling showed that man's sins ha cast him to the ground." In the church services, sitting is the posture for teaching, he said. "When people sit during vs. Authority. Dr. John W. Swanke asserted that the primary rights are to life, property and education, but, he insisted, these are general rights, "a right to a house, but not a specific house, right to an education but not an education at a specific college." Commenting on civil rights as such, he said, they are rooted in the individual, "but my civil rights give me no right to in- fringe on my neighbor's civil rights." Dr. Swanke asked, "Do nuns lying in the street in Chicago invade my rights7" Share Platform Dr. Swanke, associate professor of philosophy at USD, and Father William L. Shipley, chairman of the department of philosophy, share the lectern in a three-way discussion of the implications of freedom and authority in today's society. One third of the time is devoted to student-lecturer discussion. Fa tiler Shipley turning to political science for sources, said rights are a dynamic force in the relationship of men, not something enshrined on paper, but the actions of one man to another. Rights are mutual obligations between free per- sons fundamentally equal in the basic needs of their human nature, he said. However, he asserted,·civil rights are rights of citizens as citizens in a particular society, and all of man's natural rights may or may not be inco rated

examination of Church service format was not confined to the clergy during the first through the eighth centuries; it was on a common folk level. The Council of Trent in 1517 brought a necessary uniformity and stability to a liturgy that was floundering amid feudal chaos, 1''ather Rouse said. This liturgical standardization initiated rubrics

A certain amount of ex- perimentation with the Mass seems to be needed for the 20th Century, said Father Rouse. "However, we cannot change what the Lord has given us. He has given us the symbols of bread and wine, and we cannot substitute coffee and doughnuts at Mass." However, he emphasized, "Priests need to be careful in springing changes on people. When you tamper with liturgy, you are tampering with people's religious identity." It is a psychological pr.oblem and one that must be met with the proper psychological preparation for any changes in the form of the Mass. Sensibly Applied :E<'ather Rouse cited a Mass where some experimentation was sensibly applied. The Mass was offered with about 700 high school students present. At the Offertory, 12 teachers, each accompanied oy a tudent, walked to the altar to give something symbohc of their discipline of tudy. For example, the football coach brought a complete football unifor and placed it on the altar, and the music teacher brought a trumpet and placed it on the altar.

society. The prevailing values and beliefs in that community are the basis for civil justice, and these vary between societies, between countries, he added. "What is considered a right to medical care in some countries is not considered a right in others," he explained. Dr . Swanke raised the problem of the individual who threatens the social fabric. "I cannot survive humanly without society," he said. Revolt is justified only when the cause is greater than society itself, he said. "If the society is more evil than the evil of demonstrations or revolution, then revolution is justifiable. This is the only way we can accept civil disorder and civil disobedience." He asked, "Is the evil of racism so great we are allowing 1t to destroy society· is the university so corrupt 'tha t we have to replace- it with who knows what7" On the problem of dissent, F_ather Shipley said, "The dissenter ought to know what he's mad at so he can do something about it. Fight the draft law if that is the issue, but don't tear down the whole country." The series ends today,
