Both pairs of candidates take turns discussing issues posed by students in the audience in Sunday’s debate.
Candidates talk tuition, diversity, election platforms By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu
The candidates for the Marquette Student Government presidential and vice presidential tickets participated in a debate Sunday at the Alumni Memorial Union, discussing topics including MUSG-to-student outreach, diversity on campus and the candidates’ own experience. Both tickets (Arica VanBoxtel/ Bill Neidhardt and Drew Halunen/ Stephanie Marecki) were given three minutes to answer each question, along with a one-minute rebuttal. Each candidate is in the College of Arts & Sciences with the
exception of VanBoxtel, who is in the College of Communication. Van Boxtel is currently MUSG’s communications vice president, while Halunen is currently the legislative vice president, and both Neidhardt and Marecki are off-campus senators. MUSG-Student Outreach Both tickets said they would work to further student knowledge and involvement with MUSG as president and vice president. “When we talk about the issues a diverse inclusive campus, tuition transparency, individual issues - it comes back to the same thing: refocusing the organization that is considerate of the entire student voice—outreach, and an open organization is what we really are going for,” Neidhardt said. VanBoxtel also addressed the need for outreach to those not
involved on campus. “It’s easy for leaders to reach out to other leaders, but it’s also important to reach out to those not involved,” VanBoxtel said. Halunen said that much of he and Marecki’s platform has come directly from students. Halunen also said the two of them have seen excitement from students about their platform. “Every time we talk to students about the Marquette Online Course Evaluation System (MOCES) or the health and wellness center, they get excited, as if to say, ‘Yeah, you got it right,’” Halunen said. Marecki, Halunen’s running mate, said she agreed that MUSG currently does not do enough outreach. Marecki also elaborated on their proposed student organization liaison program, in which a senator See Debate, page 5

Marquette Hall room 100, where many university students sit crabbily and fall asleep to their professor’s monotone voice throughout the week, buzzed with students Sunday night. They were there for the academic screening of “Pink Smoke Over the Vatican,” a documentary film about a movement supporting women seeking to be ordained as priests in the Roman Catholic Church. The 58-minute film and attached academic event was sponsored by Marquette’s Women’s and Gender Studies Program News

and shared the views of men and women who encourage the ordination of women, along with those who oppose it. Janice Sevre-Duszynska, one of 12 women ordained in 2006 on the waters outside of Pittsburgh, was at the screening and shared her story with the audience and partook in the question-and-answer session after. “Pink Smoke Over the Vatican” shares the stories of men and women who are working to put an end to the “underlying misogyny and outdated feudal governance that is slowly destroying the Roman Catholic Church,” the video’s website said. The name comes from supporters’ actions on April 17, 2005 when they released pink smoke in front of several U.S. cathedrals in an attempt to call churches to open doors fully to women participation. At the beginning of the
documentary the narrator continuously repeats the question, “Where are the women’s voices?” and then cites the 1024 Canon Law that says only a baptized male can be ordained. Dr. Dorothy Irvin, a Roman Catholic theologian, explained in the film that the woman’s role in the church was eradicated after the Roman Empire made Catholicism its official religion. Before this, women were ordained and practiced the sacraments, all proven by the discovery of mosaics in South Africa and pictures in catacombs across the world. The documentary also touched on Ludmila Javorova, a woman who was born into a Catholic family in communist Czechoslovakia and wished to be a nun, a forbidden practice for women at See Pink, page 5
