Visiting donors also were able to participate in several activities throughout Friday afternoon. A spiritual retreat called “Journey of Life” was offered to donors in the Augusta Hall Conference Room at Saint Mary’s Convent. At the conclusion of the retreat, Sr. Mary Louise Gude, vice president for Mission, led guests on a tour of the Sisters of the Holy Cross Heritage Room. Donors were also given a chance to pray at the labyrinth, led by Judy Fean, director of Campus Ministry. In addition, donors were able to meet the 2010 “New Voices” scholars in Welsh Parlor in Haggar Hall or watch the Belles tennis match against Adrian College. Friday evening events concluded with a concert by Bellacappella in Little Theatre at Moreau Center for the Arts. Saturday’s activities began with a roundtable discussion about the life and character of Sister M. Madeleva Wolff, former president of the College. After the discussion, current President Carol Ann Mooney gave a presidential address to the donors. Both events were held in Carroll Auditorium in Madeleva Hall. In addition to spending time with donors Friday, an appreciation luncheon was held Saturday for students who received aid from donations. “As the recipients, Saint Mary's and the students who receive scholarship money can show their appreciation for the donors in a small way by host- ing a luncheon,” Humphrey said. Humphrey said the luncheon was an important opportunity for the donors because it gave them the opportunity to meet students who were affected by their contributions to the College. “During this unique opportunity, the donors are able to physically see how their dona- tion is used by being able to page 4 The Observer N PAID ADVERTISEMENT Monday, April 26, 2010

Associated Press

NEW YORK — As the U.S. housing turned downward in January 2007, a Goldman Sachs trader wrote in e- mails to a woman he apparently was courting that investments he had sold were “like Frankenstein turning against his own inventor.” “I’m trading a product which a month ago was worth $100 and today is only worth $93,” wrote Fabrice Tourre, who was charged along with the bank in a civil complaint filed this month by the Securities and Exchange Commission. “That doesn’t seem like a lot but when you take into account ... (the investments) are worth bil- lions, well it adds up to a lot of money.” Tourre was talking about investment products like the one at the heart of a federal complaint against his firm. For Tourre, the investments were like an invention gone awry: He had started arrang- ing them when the market was on the upswing. But he continued selling them after the market turned — now with Goldman betting against them, in one case allegedly AP misleading investors about a Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein and company president Gary Cohn attend President deal’s origin.

Richard McBrien said he is concerned about the abuse scandals that have continually sur- faced in the news in recent months — especially those regarding the Pope. “He should be completely open and truthful about what happened in Munich when he served as its archbishop, and what happened during his time as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which also had responsibility for sexual abuse cases involving priests,” McBrien said. “Most people would be understanding and forgiving if he admitted some mistakes in judg- ment. What people resent is being lied to,” he said. “This controversy will not go away unless and until the pope him- self speaks out. His allies have not helped him thus far.” Cunningham said he believes some of the “finger-pointing” at Pope Benedict for allegedly not removing a priest accused of sexual abuse from contact with children is unfair. “I think in a way he’s getting a bad rap for it,” Cunningham said. “I think he was in fact someone trying to do something for the situation.” He said many of the cases sur- facing in the news are decades old. “Today there are very clear procedures set up,” he said. “I think the widespread plague of child abuse generally is a symp- tom of something that is really wrong with society as a whole.” Monday, April 26, 2010 The Observer N CAMPUS NEWS page 9
