    SCENE ONE (An empty stage. There is a podium and a projector screen emblazoned with the logo “WELLSTONE PROJECT.” A spotlight comes up on STEPHEN, who stands at the podium, dressed in formal attire. He carries a drink in his hand.) STEPHEN Thank you all for being here tonight – for your support – for honoring my brother’s life and legacy. (as HE speaks, the screen behind him flashes a portrait of Paul Wellstone) It would mean the world to them – Paul, and Sheila (the screen flashes a photo of Paul and Sheila together) – to see you all here tonight. (he sips his drink liberally and shakes himself out) I just want to apologize in advance – I never had my brother’s knack for public speaking. (HE chuckles nervously) But I always said… I always said my brother had a way of bringing people together… Sometimes in ways we might not expect. But – (the screen flashes a photo of a beach in Maryland) One way or another, it all leads back… to this. (without looking backward, the screen raises out of view, and the set changes to the beach seen in the photo, complete with a sunbathing SHEILA, reclining on a beach chair, reading a book) The beaches our parents took us to as kids… I haven’t set foot here in years, but I can still see it all like it was yesterday. (HE mimes to various parts of the set) The stand where they used to sell popsicles on hot days. (another) And over there, see? That’s where I built the biggest sandcastle you’d ever seen… Until Paul stepped in it.

  • Annual Report 2011-2012
    Mater Matters FALL 2012 ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 OPENING COMMENTS From the Principal During a recent trip to my ancestral home, Ireland, I visited St. Patrick’s Church in Glenbrohane where my great grandparents were married. This simple country church overlooks a sweeping vista of rolling hills, dotted with sheep and cows belonging to the local farmers. My cousin, Mike Tobin, whispered to me during Mass, “That chalice was the one used at your great grandmother’s wedding. The church has only one, and I am sure that was the one used.” I was distracted during Mass thinking about where John Buckley stood as he watched Ellen Tobin walk down the aisle. How did they meet? What walks did they walk? What dreams did they have for the future? Did they envision what their own life would become — immigrating to America, their future home in Philadelphia? Probably not. What John and Ellen saw was a loom inviting them to weave the fabric of their lives together into a tapestry they would never see completed. And that is the story for all of our ancestors — they weave, they make their contribution, and then they turn it over to successive generations. Catherine McAuley had the same experience. She never intended to start a religious congregation. She was advised, however, that if she wanted her work to have longevity, she needed to turn her House of Mercy into a convent. Although she opened many convents with schools and safe houses, she did not live long enough to see the tapestry of Mercy life in the United States.

Voluntary Campaign Finance Reform John Copeland Naglet Traditional campaign finance reformers have a dream. Limits on the amount that individuals, political parties, and other organizations can contribute to candidates. Limits on the amount that candidates can spend on their campaigns. Limits on the amount of "soft money" that can be contributed to politi- cal parties and interest groups for spending on political adver- tisements, party building, and get-out-the-vote efforts. Restric- tions on the "issue advocacy" advertisements that address current political controversies-and often critique the positions of individual candidates-but stop just short of endorsing one candidate or another. Television stations that broadcast cam- paign advertisements free of charge, and that provide more substantive discussions of the issues raised in an election. That is the dream. Buckley v. Valeo' is the nightmare. Buckley and its progeny have applied the First Amendment's protection of the freedom of speech to invalidate laws contain- ing many of the provisions desired by traditional campaign fi- nance reformers.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Gendering Trauma and Healing in a Post­ Conflict Environment: Las Dignas, Mental Health, and the Empowerment of Salvadoran Women A dissertation presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Massey University, Turitea Campus, Palmerston N01th, New Zealand Helen Margaret Leslie 1999 11 Abstract There is no doubt that the experience of war, be it war between nation states or civil war, varies considerably for both male and females. The twelve year civil war in El Salvador was no exception. Salvadoran women who worked in various sectors as combatants, urban collaborators, home-makers, nurses, cooks or radio operators for the guerrilla fo rces, experienced the war and now experience so-called peace, in ways that relate directly to the construction of the fe male sex in Salvadoran society. As a result of these gendered experiences many Salvadoran women are suffering trauma despite the cessation of the war in 1992. This trauma acts to disempower these women and to prevent them from actively participating in the important processes of post-conflict reconstruction currently taking place in Salvadoran society This thesis aims to analyse the approach taken by one Salvadoran organisation fo r fe minist political action, Las Dignas, in healing the trauma of Salvadoran women. Reviewing relevant literature on gender and development theory and gender and conflict theory, and drawing on fe minist methods in the fieldwork context, it will show how the healing process employed by Las Dignas is empowering Salvadoran women at both personal and socio-political levels.
