TRISKELE a record of THOMAS MORE COLLEGE Covington, Kentucky for the year 1972-1973 Sit here now and listen to the sounds of a man trying to touch. Not yesterday's man. but a man now. At this moment you are experiencing someone experience you. He is gathering all of the feel- ings present. as you are, which support him on a very important journey through time and space. Life! The eternal venture divided by the material and spiritual existence. The rolling of a wheel uphill. Where it scrapes ground and where it flows th rough the ground is a point of departure from one place to the next. Leaving some behind and gather- ing some anew. 10 ' Aims CDKIVCTaM ... $ M M T Think about the infinite numbers of beings. on the one planet alone, that are on the same jour- ney that you and I are on. All yearning to touch whether they show it or not. 13 Hear the glitter of an eye, the rustle of pages and the scratch of a pencil. 15 Smell the texture of lhislherl smile. lHisA-lerl voice and those walls. Its all a different trip, yet it is all the same trip. 16 m. a m .M mew A.- $3 .. a .3: Sensing, experiencing, learning what is within you and without you.

These are the questions that philoso- phy addresses itself to. It tries to find answers based on the observable data of our experience.
