0 STUDENT SENATE Creating a facade Senate m oves closer to change

By DEREK BETCHER Assistant News Editor

In yesterday’s meeting, the Student Senate took major steps towards both placing a student on the Board of Trustees and amending the student gov­ ernment constitution. The senate unanimously approved a letter that will be sent to John Kaneb, chairman of the Student Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees. That letter proposes the idea of a stu­ dent trustee and asks that the Student Senate be allowed to make a full presentation at the trustees’ May meeting. “We think it pretty much sums up the senti­ ments of the senate,” said judicial council presi­ dent Ryan Mclnerney. Reform committee chair Brendan Kelly followed by explaining the proposed constitutional amend­ ments which the senate will vote on at their next meeting. Reform has four targets, he said: Student Union coherence, clarifying the student government con­ stitution, creating a more effective executive cabi- The Observer/Kimm Michalik Saint Mary’s students painted masks and talked about the perception of women as part of a two-part workshop spon­ see SENATE / page 4 sored by the women’s studies and psychology departments yesterday in Moreau Hall.

With all of its duties and responsibilities, Security still considers itself primarily as a ser­ vice agency. Assistant director Charles Hurley said, “There are not many police departments nowadays who will unlock your vehicle, jump your car, escort you at night, or perform many of the services we offer for free.” Security staff regularly provide information to The Observer for news stories and for the column “Security Beat.” Also, in the event of a serious crime or incident on campus that may pose a threat to students, “Crime Watch” notices may be posted around campus in resi­ dence halls and in other campus buildings.

We do [however] deal with crimes involving stolen prop­ e rty.” Safe Walk is a program that Security runs in conjunction with student government. Between the hours of 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. students can request an escort to walk with them to and from any campus location. Students can even request an escort to meet them in any of the parking lots from security gate location. And, of course, any­ body can request a Security escort after Safe Walk’s hours of operation. An interesting fact to note about the security/police department is that Safe Walk is not the only area in which students can work. “We have a fair number of students working for us,” said Rakow, “There are students who work with our dispatchers and students who help The Observer/Kevin Dalum write parking tickets among other duties.” A Notre Dame Security dispatcher fields calls from students and relays those calls to officers in the field

WHAT DOES IT MATTER THAT I AM HERE? N TIO . S CONSIDERA Calendar of Events

Power Lunch: It’s a question we occasionally ask ourselves... what does it matter that Our Connection with Mary and the Rosary I am here? As I pose the question, I don’t mean in a strictly existential Thursday, February 27 sense... oh no, that’s too big for me to take on. I’ll leave that for the 12:45-1:45 pm resident philosophers to tackle. My question asks simply... what does Faculty Dining Room it matter that I am here... at Notre Dame, as opposed to just about 81 f anywhere else that I might otherwise be? What difference does it ROTC Senior Retreat make? Please God, it makes some difference. Friday-Saturday, February 28-March 1 St. Joe Hall Ultimately, it’s a question that each of us must answer for ourselves. Notre Dame Encounter Retreat But it isn’t a question only for second semester Seniors who have to Friday-Sunday, February 28-March 2 figure out who they are and what they want. It is for all of us, all of Fatima Retreat Center the time. It’s a question about people and relationships, about faith, and about ourselves. It’s a question that will have a different answer Rejoice! Black Catholic Mass for each one who attempts a response. The only right answer for you Sunday, March 2 is your own. The only wrong answer is not to take up the question. " 11:45 a.m. There are all kinds of things to think about. All sorts of things to Basilica of the Sacred Heart Celebrant: Rev. Edward Branch, Catholic reflect upon. Let’s consider a few. Chaplain and Director, Catholic Center, Atlanta University Center Who am I for having been here as long as I have? Am I a better friend to my friends than I was before I came to Notre Dame? To my par­ Campus Bible Study ents? Do I think differently? For all the work I’ve done, am I any Tuesday, March 4 smarter at all? Do 1 care more now about things that I might never 7:00 p.m. have before considered? Do I attend to the needs of others? What Campus Ministry Badin Hall does service mean in my life? Do I do any? Should I? What about faith? Do I really have any... in anything? Do I pray? Am I any more Kairos (4th Day): Human Sexuality Fr. Mark Poorman, C.S.C. faithful to the God in whom I profess faith than I was before I arrived? Wednesday, March 5 Do I even believe what I say I believe? Am I, in the end, a better man, Chapel of the Holy or a better woman, for having come to this place?

I’m telling you, Lent is a terrific time to get at some of these ques­ MmdSaymmdayeMarch 10-14 tions. It’s basically a gift... a time during which we can stop, reflect Abbey of Gethsemani and pray, on who it is that we are, and who we want to be... and on S«. Patrick's Day Mass who we’re called to be. Is it enough to believe that God loves us or Monday, March 17 that we’re exactly where God would have us be in this moment? I 5:05 p.m. don’t know, even as I believe it is somehow true. But even with that, I Basilica of the Sacred Heart don’t believe that we can content ourselves to stay where we are. Our being here is a great privilege and not to take advantage of it, not to Freshmen Retreat #10 revel in it, could later prove to be one of the greatest regrets of our Friday-Saturday, March 21-22 lives. There is much to do on the way to becoming who we are meant for residents of Alumni, Howard, Keough, to be. There are relationships to attend to... with others and with Keenan, Knott, Lyons, Pasquerilla West, God. There are studies to pursue.

In my work in Campus Ministry I have had the great privilege of meet­ ing a whole variety of people from across this campus... with students particularly, but with staff and faculty and administrators as well. We Third Sunday of Lent are not all so different really. We all struggle in much the same way to understand ourselves in relation to our world, and to our God. Weekend Presiders Whether it be in our respective families, or residence hall communi­ at Sacred Heart Basilica ties, in our intimate relationships with others or with God, we all struggle with the challenge of becoming all that God intends us to be, Saturday, March 1 all that we want to be.

Please God, we won’t look back yearS from now and wonder why we didn’t spend more time at the Grotto... or delight, when we could, in Sunday, March 2 the company of friends... or take more chances. Let it not be said of us that we avoided the big questions or that we failed to examine the 10:00 a.m. limits of all that we could be while we were at Notre Dame. Just how Rev. David Guffey, C.S.C. we do that is going to be different for each us... but I can tell you, it’s about God, and about faith, and about relationships. It’s about talk­ 11:45 a.m. ing to one another about the things that matter, and about love and Rev. Edward B. Branch, C.S.C. forgiveness, of ourselves and of others. The value of your experience at Notre Dame, in the end, will not be measured by your personal Scripture Readings popularity, or by how much you can drink on a particular weekend for this coming Sunday night, or even by your academic success. It will ultimately be mea­ sured by how well you have learned to love. 1st Reading: Exodus 20:1-17 2nd Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:22-25 Jim Lies, C.S.C.
