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.
