St. Benedict Joseph Labre L A B R E

Poor in the eyes of men & women; Rich in the eyes of God

Saint Benedict Joseph Labre, you gave up honor, money and home for love of Jesus. Help us to set our hearts on Jesus and not on the things of this world. You lived in obscurity among the poor in the streets. Enable us to see Jesus in our poor brothers and sisters and not judge by appearances. Make us realize that in helping them we are helping Jesus. Show us how to befriend them and not pass them by. Saint Benedict Joseph Labre, you had a great love for prayer. Obtain for us the grace of perservering prayer, especially adoration of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Saint Benedict Joseph Labre, poor in the eyes of men and women but rich in the eyes of God, pray for us. Amen. Photos by Jillian Dunn JCU Labre participants, above, serve Paul a meal and a handshake.

Through the Poverty and Solidarity Internship at JCU, Molly Gradowski got to not only work at a nonprofit, but made a difference in Cleveland. Gradowski, a junior, worked at University Settlement in the Slavic neighborhoods of Cleveland. She said, “It is really unique because it is the only community center of its type in the area.” Gradowski specifi- cally worked with University Settlement’s 21st Century and Strive Programs. With 21st Century, Gradowski taught ninth graders English, multiplication and division skills and attempted to “make school fun.” While the Strive Program worked with children ages 5 to 17, taking them on field trips to their first baseball games, the Science Center, and fire houses, but most importantly provid- ing the children with a safe haven.

In a move which for the time being has improved relations with Russia, President Barack Obama announced his decision to switch from the prescribed anti-ballistic missile shield plan of the Bush administration. The Bush plan was based on the information that Iran was rapidly developing long range missiles. However, based on more recent information, which reports a shift in the development of long-range missiles to short to medium-length missiles, the Obama administra- tion has opted for a plan that will incorporate a more flexible form of protection. This change in strategy reflects the advice of Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Mike Mullen, and is based on the updated assessment of what type of threat Iran actually poses. Prior to publicly announcing what is perhaps the greatest shift in national security policy from the Bush administration to President Obama’s; the president first reached out to the prime ministers of Poland and the Czech Republic. Under the Bush plan, both of these countries were to be recipients of missile de- fense technology capable of solely preventing long-range missiles.

A Letter From Associate Dean of Students Donna Byrnes, As we are concluding the first four weeks of the semester, it seems timely to remind everyone that we have neighbors living on adjacent streets to the campus. While it is true that the University owns some of the houses, and many of the homes on Warrensville Center Road and Bromley are being rented by students, it is also true that there are families living along these streets. Some families include young children; some include elderly members, and most include one or two working adults. These households are not on the same schedule that most students keep. Please remember what it means to be a good neighbor and remind each other of the responsibilities we have as residents of University Heights. Consideration of our neighbors as we travel to and from campus on foot is critical to maintaining an amicable relationship with them.

Considerate behavior includes respecting property, keeping voices at a conversational level, refraining from using vulgar language, and refraining from congregating in a large group on these pathways.

Permanent neighbors have reported that students who are intoxicated, extremely loud, vulgar with language, disrespectful of property, and insensitive to family schedules are seen too frequently. They expect to have lawns free from trash, a good night’s sleep that is not interrupted, and conversations with students that are respectful and sincere.

Another issue is drunken behaviors. We all know that consuming heavy amounts of alcohol impairs judgment and can lead to injury, violence, sexual assault, and a decline in academic progress. Drinking underage and/or irresponsibly off campus does matter to this community. An individual’s decision to engage in drunk and disorderly conduct affects the entire community. It is wrong to assume that we are not responsible to each other and for our choices when we are off campus. Our actions reflect our character and effect our reputation as individuals and as a university. It is not enough to be men and women for others Monday through Friday during the day, when it fits into our schedules, or when it is convenient to be so.

The University has high expectations of community members, including students, in regard to behavior. We expect that everyone in our John Carroll community exhibits respect for themselves and respect for each other. In addition, we expect behavior to be respectful of our neighbors in all of our surrounding cities, most immediately the cities of University Heights and Shaker Heights. The overwhelming majority of the John Carroll University community is respectful of our neighbors and consistently acts as responsible citizens. Please join us in showing care for the safety of students, our relationship with the residents of University Heights and Shaker Heights, and the reputation of the University.

We appreciate the community’s thoughtful concern about these issues and are hopeful that together we will achieve positive outcomes. Respect remains the key to our success.
