"By nature, a college or university should be a forum of con¬ troversy and contention. It is in this type of a milieu that a dialogue is developed through which ideas may be exchanged and developed."
The Rev. Finian Kerwin, OFM, the newly elected provincial of the Franciscan Province of the Holy Name, who visited the Siena campus earlier this week, spoke deliberately and with concern for Siena College and its students. His warmth and interest in Siena quickly made friends of those who were strangers.
Speaking with Senate President Gerry Powers he exclaimed to Powers, "You have an open door to approach me at any time." Powers stated his belief that the communi¬ cation involved must be "a two way street," and that Father Finian was welcome to use Siena "as a sound¬ ing board" for new ideas which might concern collegians.
Father also said that he will be "happy to meet any of the students anytime" at his office at St. Francis of Assisi Church in New York City, and that he "hopes to return to Siena often in the future."
At the present time Father is travelling throughout the Holy Name Province in an effort to concelebrate Mass with as many communities in the province as possible, before the Franciscan capitular meeting on Easter Sunday. It will be at this meeting that new assignments are announced by Father Finian.
Tuesday at 4:30 Father Finian concelebrated Mass with 18 friars
from Siena, as a part of his tour of the province.
Father Finian has just recently visited St. Bona venture University, and other Franciscan institutions of education in the province. The next stop on his itinerary will be Cali- coon Seminary, Calicoon, New York.
A dialogue on Ecumenism in Today's Society, will be spon¬ sored by the Theology and So¬ ciology departments of Siena College tomorrow in Roger Bacon Hall from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The importance of such a discussion was stated in the Vatican Council's "Decree on Ecumenism. " "Through such a dialogue," it states, "everyone gains a truer knowl¬ edge and more appreciation of the teaching and religious life" of the various communities.
The aspect from which this dia¬ logue will be presented is unique in that usually only one profession is represented, namely interfaith the¬ ologians, but in this dialogue both interfaith theologians and sociolo¬ gists will stimulate discussion. The theologians on the panels will ad¬ dress themselves to the matter of ecumenism as such, while the soci¬ ologists will consider the impact of ecumenism on the religious insti¬ tution, and the religious institution, in turn, on the total society.
It is emphasized that the dialogue is not a debate, it is rather a two- sided conversation in which any
student may contribute his opinion.
There is no admission charge for the panel discussions and everyone is welcome, especially Siena stu¬ dents. Student meal tickets will be honored at the buffet luncheon. The program will consist of three panels, and each panel will be made up of two specialists who will present their views on ecumenism. Fostered by these discussions the students will be able to voice their views. Lutheran Minister
The program will start at 10:30 a.m. with a common prayer by the, Rev. Alvin H. Butz, pastor of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church.
The first panel which will view the status of religion in America is entitled "Yesterday." The first topic "Religion as a Divisive Influence" will be presented by John J. Kane, Ph.D.
Dr. Kane receiv^gd his Ph.D. de¬ gree from the University of Penn¬ sylvania in 1950. He is the author of four books, his latest is "Social Problems." Dr. Kane has taught sociology at the University of Notre Dame and is presently the visiting professor of sociology at Loyola Col¬ lege, Montreal. He has made a study

Mr. Button set what may be a new record in area politics by fulfilling one of his campaign promises. He took a walk in the Arbor Hill sec¬ tion of Albany. During his cam¬ paign, Mr. Button did a good deal of walking all over the 29th District and he promised that this practice would continue when he was elected. Congressman Button's walk through Arbor Hill was in response to a petition from the residents of that area decrying the poor police pro¬ tection from roving bands of vandals in the area.
Mr. Button is also expected to air his views on several other topics, including the 18 year-old's right to vote, and his observations and plans concerning the Arbor Hill section of Albany. After an opening session of 30-45 minutes the Congressman

Mr. Button has, in the past, proved unafraid of controversy, as demon¬ strated by his campaigning zeal and his past speeches here at Siena. Sienamen are asked to attend the speech to educate themselves on aspects of government not often learned in mass media and the classroom.
