FTB? ,iryjg l hepherd to Searching Souls 'l rl A. :img ln a confusing ' 1 ll ff l L lug ' ' ' '7- '4-'Zz-'Ez' flurry of publicity, propaganda and pope-scopes , Pope John Paul ll's 17,000 mile United States journey began on September tenth in Miami, Flor- ida. For eleven days, the Shep- herd of the Catholic Church toured and preached to several southern and western cities in- cluding Los Angeles, California and San Antonio, Texas. He then journeyed to several northern cities like Detroit, Michigan and on to Canada. During his travels, he emphasized the ovenlvhelm- ing importance of Church unity and Catholics' loyalty to holy teachings while quietly question- ing the pervading materialism of American society today. i At Sacred Heart, there were several different kinds of reac- tions to the journey. ln junior and senior religion classes, stu- dents prayed forthe success and safety for the Holy Father on his visit here. The freshmen and sophomores, however, gave the topic more intense study and consideration in their courses dealing with the Church and our faith.. Student and faculty views on the Pontiff's success in his mis- sion were varied. Victoria Len- non expressed her feelings as she observed, The Pope isn't really used to dealing with U.S. Catholics. We're so different, so diverse.

O77 444 Mir fm 1 nfatuatlons over Ice Cream When walking down the lunch line, what did one notice? Though nutritious food, such as chicken, muffins and fruit, was abundant, what caught the eye first was thejunk food. The term junk food included the treats which students loved to eat, the food which girls ran for during assembly, and the goodies which most girls wished would not put pound after pound on the hips and waist. What was this obsession people had with pota- to chips, popcorn, Funny Bones, and brownies? Why did some find themselves being drawn to these foods day after day? What- ever the reason, some students .A .Jes Above: Hungrily, Neisha Marotti stands in line, waiting to dive into a scrumptious bag of Munchos. Wait 9O'ag?85i FreshmenfJunk Food found themselves weaving through lines of people, step- ping on innocent bystanders, or tripping over chairs for the soli- tary mission of selecting those favorite munchies. A survey polled students about their favorite munchies, and their response clearly proved that all the competition was stopped cold by the ever- popular ice cream. Respondents chose this sweet dessert nine times out of ten. From those foods sold by the lunch service, Munchos ranked as a very close second choice and Jax was num- ber three on the list. However, this still revealed no answer to the question of why people love junk food so much. The J was for just one potato chip eaten when on that 'diet.' U represented the uncommonly rich aroma of that chocolate chip cookie. The Pl stood for the nuts on that tasty, irresistible ice cream. Finally, the K was the key to JUNK FOOD.
