by Andreatta Grisenti and Del Stark Staff Reporters

Over 100 of Regis' student leaders attended the fifth annual Campus Life leadership retreat August 20-22 to formulate goals and brainstorm ideas for improving life at Regis. The retreat, held at Deer Creek Christian camp near Conifer, was host to students from organizations as diverse as Romero House, PAC and the residence hall council. The first day of the retreat, Fr. Sheeran challenged student leaders to come up with suggestions for changes at Regis. He returned on the last morning of the retreat to hear the ideas. After several brainstorming sessions, students came up with the follow- ing categories for change: Stefan Huetwohl Special to the Highlander * Student life enhancement; * Staff and faculty enhancement; * Main Hall restoration; by Tillie Sanchez * Academic improvements; Co-Editor * Beautification and conservation of the campus; * Security; "I want to be a part of the Ameri­ highly reccommends the French that has laws like the one's here in * Athletics; can scene," this is one of the things movie "Diva," and he likes the the U.S. He also stated that he * and health services enhancement.

Page 4, Highlander, September 2, 1993 The world comes to Regis Regis in the spotlight by Tillie Sanchez Co-editor This summer Regis received perhaps the most recognition ever bestowed upon a university. The spotlight began to shine on Regis during the International Youth Forum on August 8. Four days later the eyes of the world turned to Regis again as military helicopters descended upon the Regis campus, carry­ ing two of the most powerful beads of state in the world, President Bill Clinton and Pope John Paul II. The culmination of these two events marked another global attempt to make a change for the better. During the fourth International Youth Forum, 270 youths from 101 countries gathered at Regis to share experiences of their faith, and to compile their ideas to present to the Pope. The delegates to the forum represented several episcopal councils and religious movements from each nation were also represented. Some first time participants in the forum were Bosnia, Hong Kong, Lebanon, Luxemburg, and Montenegro.

"We are here to feel, and express new life. We would like to change the face of the world."

The delegates attended plenary sessions in the morning, and they worked in language workshops in the afternoons to discuss the topics of the plenary sessions. However, their stay in Denver wasn't all work. Denver's Civic Center Park was transformed into Celebration Plaza, and was the bub of free concerts, dancing, masses, and general socializing. And of Fr. Sheeran's 15 minutes of fame ended as he escorted Pope John Paul II to Marine Force I. course, the biggest highlight for the youth were their meetings The helicopter then took the Pope to a rally at Mile High . with the Holy Father. What did the youth have to say? Many spoke of "solidar------1 ity" as youth and as Christians. One young man from Kenya put it very simply, "We are here to feel, and express new life. We would like to change the face of the world." There was a feeling of optimism among the group of youth, and many were on a mission of hope, with a deep yearning for peace and justice. And to the surprise of the press, issues concerning women and the priesthood, homo­ sexuality, and other problems within the church were not the hot topics. Guzman Carriquiry, Undersecretary to the Pontifi­ cal Council for the Laity elaborated, "These youth do not focus on those issues, those are issues seen by outsiders of the church, they focus on poverty and justice. They find these issues trivial when they struggle everyday for life, freedom, and survival." Just days after the youth of world were speaking of peace, the Regis campus was turned into a defensive arsenal. Armed Secret Service agents dressed in SWAT uniforms watched Above: The first family, including daughter Chelsea, shares the limelight in meeting Pope over the campus from the roofs of Dayton Memorial Library John Paul II. The President and the Pope met for nearly an hour in the Regis President's Din­ and Main Hall. Many hours of planning went into historical ing Room in Carroll Hall while members of the Regis community waited on the quad for a meeting between President Clinton and Pope John Paul. Both the police and Regis' Public Affairs Office spent long hours glimpse of these two important visitors. in preparation to ensure the safety of everyone involved. "-in the first place the right to life Below: With U.S. Air Force One on the ground and President Bill Clinton and his family waiting near Carroll Hall, Marine Air One delivers Pope John Paul II to his historic meeting and the defense of life." with President Clinton on the Regis University campus. Social and economic justice were principal topics discussed between the two men. They talked about the upheaval in Haiti, the flooding in the United States' mid west, and matters of international policy. Raymond Flynn, the United States Ambassador to the Vatican, said "An enormous amount of common ground on the issues of conscience and social and economic justice was shared by both the President and the Pope." After their priviate meeting they addressed a group oflocal, national, and international reporters. Both men spoke with great respect and admiration of each other. And Pope John Paul even went as far as to joke about the youthfulness of the President. The Pope left the press with a message of conc~m for the "inalienable dignity - in the first place the right to hfe and the defense of life." The two leaders then boarded separate helicopters, leaving the Regis campus to contemplate their words of peace. September 2, 1993, Highlander, Page 5 John Paul's Comments At Regis Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased, Mr. President, that we have had this op­ portunity to talk together about some of the principal concerns of the world situation at this moment. The inalien­ able dignity of every human being and the rights which flow from that dignity -- in the first place, the right to life and the defense of life -- as well as the well being and full human development of individuals of peoples, are at the heart of the Church's message and action in the world. Essentially, these are the things on which the Church seeks a sin­ cere and constructive dialogue with the leaders of the worlds nations and the representatives of the international community. I look foward to further contacts in the future, in the same spirit Top.
