Bishop Griffin Visits DeSales y: Missy Booker On February 1, Bishop James A. Grif- fin celebrated Mass at DeSales com- Inemorating the Feast Day of St. Francis DeSales, the twenty-fifth anniversary of DeSales High School, and the opening of Catholic Schools Week. Bishop Griffin told DeSales students and faculty in his homily that we Cthe entire communityb are all loved. He blso said, We should realize this love of God because this love of God is the basis of Catholic education. After the Mass was over, the Bishop was given two gifts from DeSales. The Bishop's nephew, sophomore Tom Kistner, presented the Bishop with two hats. When asked what it is like being the Bishop's nephew, Tom commented, Being the Bishop's nephew is really the same as having a normal uncle. I treat him like I treat all my other relatives, and he treats me the same. I :Jon't have to treat him like he is special because he is the Bishop. He is just a regular uncle to me. The Bishop had a brief meeting with the DeSales Student Council after the Mass. You are the leaders of the school, the Bishop told the group. Each :lass president told the Bishop what their class was doing. Then the Bishop answered questions on such topics as the Bishop's Pastoral Letter on Nuclear Disarmament, the CCL Student Council, :znd the renovation of the school chapel. The Bishop concluded his day with a tour of the school building, and by par- ticipating in some of the students' classes. He also had lunch with the students.

Students enact legislation Constitution Class Conducts Congress By: Teresa Lindsey The Senior Constitution Classes are participating in a mock congress. The fourth period class represents the Senate and sixth period class represents the House of Representatives. Mr. Jeff Stevens, the teacher of Con- stitution Class, felt the mock congress would give students experience in pro- posing bills, compromising, and express- ing their opinions. The mock congress will follow, as much as possible, pro- cedures similar to the United States Congress. The class representing the House of Representatives elected a Speaker of the House, Dan Spurgeon, who will run the sessions. The House also elected a President of the United States, Andrew Durbin. The Senate elected a President of the Senate, Amy Rochon, who will run the Senate Proceedings. The Senate also elected a President of the United States. Kurt Mortensen. Remaining class members serve on committees. The committees are school, state and local, and national. The com- mittees study proposed bills and decide if the bills should go to the full Senate or House Floors. Each student is required to propose six bills in congress. Some of the propos- ed bills are a national mandatory seat belt law, repaving the parking lot at DeSales, and changing the speed limit on highways to sixty miles per hour. Before a bill can become a law, the bill has to pass in the same wording by both the House and Senate. Amy Rochon, the President of the Senate, said, It is hard to stick to cer- tain procedures and remember the technicalities. Another student feels the mock congress is helpful in understanding the legislative process. He said, I now realize how much time it takes to pass one bill through con- gress. lt is a long process with a lot of compromising.
