Serve other p-eople, protect sanctity of life

Thur day. Jun!' 6, 1971

Southern Cross Reporte University of San Diego graduates were challenged last Saturday by their commence- ment speaker , Dr. Jonas Salk, to dedicate their lives in service to others and Jive with a " generous spirit of hope and enthusiasm. " The world needs this " generous spirit," he said , which " helps penetrate the wall that separates people-a wall that blocks the painful present from the fruitful future." DR. SALK, founder and director of La Jolla ' s Salk Institute for Biological Studies, urged the graduates "to do all within yo r power to contribute no only to your own advancement, but to the advancement of those who look to you to help reduce the problems that exist in your community, nation and world. " Do all within such limitations as exist to create opportunities and advantages not only for yourselves but for others as well to be free and independent. '' Dr. Salk addressed 389 seniors at USD's 25th anniversary commencement in the Civic Theater, attended by about 1,000 people. EARLIER THE same day, the USD School of Law held its ·17th commencement in the same place for 235 graduates with Superior Court Judge Charles W. Froehlich of San Diego County speaking on professionalism in the practice of law. He asked the new lawyers whether it was time to re-examine the so-called "sacred cow'' practice of throwing out in crimi al court illegally obtained evidence against a defendant. The judge urged them "to accept the age-old challenge of the Jaw, that of nonconformity and independence in approach to problems, the job of continual review and analysis of existing principles, guarding and preserving those that remain vital, and discarding or reshaping those outmoded .'' , HONORARY DOCTOR of Jaws degrees were awarded to Dr. Salk, Judge Froehlich and to Col. Irving Salomon, member of the USD board of trustees and long-time benefactor who is retiring this year as USD lecturer in political science. Bishop Leo T. Maher, chairman of the trustees ' board , addressed both commence- ments. Speaking to the law school seniors he questioned the belief that one cannot legislate morals into Jaw. " Of course one cannot create moral conviction by Jaw," he said, "but one can protect and support it by Jaw. This is done all the time, as our laws in support of freedom of speech, laws in restraint of violence. torture. coercion, discrimination and injustice will attest." THE BISHOP CALLED on the lawyers to work for laws to protect "the weak against powerful and wealthy commercial interests exploiting sex for profit." He pointed to the Tum lo page 3 Is 'Old' Jerusalem · . Israel's or religions'?
