"It's very important to preserve the Jesuit tradition," said Lara Gabriele, co-chair of USF's chapter of Jesuit University Students Concerned with Empowerment. "We're going into a millennium that is seeing less and less people going into the Jesuit order. It's going to be up to the students to translate these principles to lay people to carry them on." Heading the agenda will be several weighty discussions, including a forum on revising the 4-year-old group's constitution and an inquiry into changing their no-stance policy on political issues. A decision could also be made to create a JUSTICE office in Washington, D.C, to lobby for financial aid and other student causes, Gabriele said. Even the group's admittedly bizarre acronym — JUSTICE — will be up for change. "It's misleading," Gabriele said. " [The name] doesn't really fit the acronym." The Rev.

If enacted, the proposition would prohibit discrimination or preferential treatment on the basis of race, sex, or ethnicity in public employment, education, and contracting. "It was a good debate," said Rosalina Mira, a sophomore psychology major. "I would say that Eva Paterson won. She was honest when she said that affirmative action was probably not the best solution, but that's all we have for now." Tacuma Alexander, a graduate student in finance and telecommunications, concurred. "For me Paterson won," he said. "Her argument made more sense."

"I was a little disappointed on the second night at the turnout, but we estimate that there were 120 to 130 people both nights." Positive responses were given by many who attended the conference. "At the end ofthe conference I handed out evaluation sheets to people," Morgan said. "I got very positive feedback. I didn't have a negative comment on the evaluations." Spirit of Collaboration also gave people the opportunity to meet each other as Morgan intended. "It was an excellent event and a great chance to see other students," said Tami Gonzales, chair ofthe Programming Source. "We are so busy, we don't get to see each other, and we seem to have the same concerns." "I learned a tremendous amount," said Rob Ray, Tri-Gamma Nursing Fraternity Secretary.

"This is the type of event that generates a feeling of unity and communication," said ASUSF President Ventura Rodriguez, Jr. "It offers both new and experienced leaders the resources to make their clubs sucessful." Concerns brought up at the con ference ranged from on-campus housing to campus noise. "There were big concerns," said Morgan. "We worked on technology [regarding] Telecom and the computer labs.
