The ASC's Change of Leadership by Simon Holt, Editor
As our newly elected ASC President, Gino Vaccaro is a that the spiritual life could once again be our center. I didn't man with an intriguing past, a keen eye for the future, and a know how to do that then, and I still don't have all the answers, refreshing appreciation of the present. but I have some ideas now." A graduate of Marquette University, Milwaukee, Gino comes to the presidency with a deep appreciation for Wisconsin, with a degree in business administration, Gino has the uniqueness of Fuller Seminary: "I love people! Andllove had experience as a small business owner and operator, has the diversity of people we have here at Fuller.” It is this served with the U.S. Navy in Hawaii, has competed in wrestling on a national level, and has worked as a sports coach at an inner-city high school. As a youth worker, Gino served the inner city communities with a desire to see' change in the lives of the African-American and Hispanic young people to whom he ministered. Gino and his wife Cesli came to Fuller in 1992 with a vision crystallizing. Gino is in the PsyD program in clinical psychology and Cesli is in the MS MFT program. They envision the establishment of an inner-city ministry incorporating aclinic which will serve at-risk young people over the long term. Gino’s plan is also to establish a sporting-goods business into which he can funnel the young people with whom he works, offering them not only psychological and spiritual healing, but an opportunity to develop practical skills as well. Gino’s eyes come alive as he articulates his belief in the hope that can be offered through this ministry initiative. For now, however, Gino is a studentatFuller Seminary. It is Gino’s appreciation of the present which enables him 1995-1996 ASC Council to fully invest himself in the now.

His concern has always been about the very central role that academic pursuits play in diversity of culture, theological perspective, and denominational ail that happens in this seminary community. He comments, affiliation that Gino finds both challenging and stretching. "My focus has always been on spiritual life and prayer. I was "Everybody here, in all three schools, holds a piece o f truth," concerned when I came about all the pulls and pushes, the Gino reflects. “Even though I may not agree with another stresses and the pressures, the things which really take away perspective, having to confront it grows me!” form our spiritual life here at Fuller. My desire in coming into Although Gino approaches this coming year with great student government was to help make changes in the system so confidence, there are some fears too. Gino values our prayers as he prepares for his role as president: "Pray that I will be able to maintain my own spiritual life and my own boundaries. My question should always be, 'Is my one-hour appointment with God as important to me as my one-hour appointment with the provost or with a student? ’ ” Gino also values our prayers that he will be able to manage his time well, giving priority to the important and not just the urgent: “Sometimes I feel as though / m not big enough. There’s not enough of me to do all that needs to be done!” Time to be with his wife is of tremendous importance to him. Wisdom to give thoughtful leadership to the student body, choosing issues carefully, and being able to live with the disappointment of those to whom he must say no: these are all areas of concern for Gino as he looks ahead. We wish Gino God’s strength and God’s grace as he takes up the mantle of leadership in the new year. We also extend to Rob Gallagher and Gino Vaccaro all the successful candidates our congratulations and the assurance of our prayers. Go well!*>

But alas, I was doing this for that one reader (on the Board of Declaration) who had so eloquently requested my services. This was definitely a trip to go where no Dan had gone before! I focused on the flashing golden lights that lit up the Tommy’s sign and managed to place myself in line (cardigan sweater and all). Service was quick and I was concentrating on the food. The fear quickly left as soon as the burger and fries came out and I thanked God for it and the fact that I hadn’t been placed in a body bag yet. The place was hopping with gang activity but everybody was getting along so well (probably due to the great Comer of Beverly and Rampart, Los Angeles burgers or the high police presence).
