In a recent interview with Father John

provided the process for adults to enter
into and to receive the Sacraments of the
Catholic Church. RCIA is the process by
which a non-Catholic or a non-Christian
enters the Church with a commitment to
uphold the Commandments and Creed
of the Catholic faith. It also provides the
opportunity for students who are already
Catholic to receive the Sacrament of
Confirmation."
Often times, students do not make
their Confirmation at the traditional high
school age. K. Thomas Reinhardt elaborated saying he was not ready at that age.
Tom felt that he is now more mature and
can appreciate it more after growing in
college.
Father John added that the RCIA was
created because there is a need for such

Regis Walks For
The Cure With the
Juvenile Diabetes
Foundation
by Matt McCiory
Staff Reporter
,
"lch Moechte Mehr Bier!!" I want more beer. This year's Oktoberfest in downtown Denver includes activities and entertainment for
the entire family. See Article on Page 2.
On Sunday, September 18th, about two hundred Regis students converged on the Denver Zoo to take part in the "Walk
for the Cure." The event is part of an effort to raise money for
the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. It was open to anyone who
wished to participate.
The students walked three laps around the zoo, or roughly
ten kilometers. They were asked to raise pledges for each kilometer walked, or to collect just a flat donation. The majority of
people from Regis who participated were athletes who were
asked to do this in order to fulfil their community service requirement.
The walk began at 9:00 a.m., and there were free beverages and snacks provided. The day seemed to be a success for
all those who participated, and all the money went to a worthy
cause.

Why is it Called Oktoberfest
When it's in September?
by Amy Everitt
Editor-in-Chief
This weekend, a large group of
students from my wing in the residence
hall put on their lederhosen and
polkaed on down to the annual
Oktoberfest activities. As we were
eating our Black Forest Cherry Cake
and drinking beer (root beer for most),
my friends questioned me.
" It's still September, right?" they
asked.
" Yes, it sure is. It' ll be September
for the next two weeks or so."
" So, it's September, and we're
celebrating Oktoberfest. Do you notice
the problem here?" my friends asked
me. "Why is Oktoberfest in
September?"
Although I am of German ancestry,
and Oktoberfest is my favorite thing in
the world, I couldn't answer them .
"I'm not sure," was the only answer I
could give .
I wa_s so perplexed when I returned
home that I couldn't sleep. So I
decided to call who people call when
their having a crisis. I phoned home.
"Mom," I said.
"Amy, it's 12:30 a.m. What's wrong?
Are you O.K.?" my mother questioned.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just wanted to
know why it's called Oktoberfest. when
it's in September," I told her.
Knowing that she wouldn ' t get any
peace until I got my answer, she told
me the story. Here's what I learned:
The original, very first Oktoberfest
was a wedding. At this wedding,
everyone ate, and danced, and drank,
and had the greatest time. Everyone
had such a good time, that they
decided to have the Oktoberfest again
the next year, and call it a "Harvest
Festival." Well , the end of September
came, and they started the party. They
were having such a great time, that
they kept on partying clear into
October. That is the reason my mom
gave me as to why Oktoberfest is in
September.
Now, I don 't know if this is the true
story. My mom said she didn't know if
this was a true story, but it was the best
answer she could give, especially at
12 :30 in the morning. So here's my
challenge:
If anyone can give me a better
explanation, I'll be more than open to
it. In fact, The Highlander will give a
prize for the best answer. All entries
must be submitted to The Highlander
by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, September
23.The best answers will be printed in
theSeptember 28th issue of the paper.
Good Luck!
PSYCHOLOGY CLUB:
An exploration ofthefield.
by James Dougherty
Staff Reporter
Michele Naysmith, Secretary of PsiChi Psychology Club, was quick to point
out that too often people think of a Psychologist as a Freudian-type analyst who
sits over a patient in a reclining armchair.
This, however, represents a small minority of psychologists.
Regis' Psychology Club gives students a chance to overcome such misconceptions. As Dr. Guyot, Head Chairperson of the Psych. Dept., described it,
"Psych. Club gives students the opportunity to be empowered in Psychology's
different fields." Forensic, criminal profiling, sports, research, radio talk show,
and clinical psychology are just a few of
the topics to be covered this year. A Club
meeting in Forensic Psychology, for example, will give students a chance to
learn and ask about how psychologists
participate in the Judicial Branch of our
government. With such an agenda the
club certainly will "provide a program
that will be of interest to a wide variety
of people," one of the group 's primary
goals.

Hired speakers, as well as some of
our own faculty here at Regis will be
speaking on these subjects, and
everyone's invited. It's also an opportunity to meet the faculty of the Psychology Dept. and get involved in any research projects or internships that might
be available.
So if think you might be interested
in psychology, or even if a topic being
covered interests you, get out for our
meetings which are scheduled on 9/29,
10/13, 10/27, 11/10 and 12/1 in Science

Notes from Soul Food
the Barrio A spiritual journey with Fr. John Vowells, S.J.
by David Card
"Oh man. Not tonight. I just don't
think I can deal with this tonight. I've
got about three hundred pages of
reading to do, not to mention a class
presentation to prepare .. .I'm really not
ready to be deep tonight." These were
the thoughts I had during dinner when I
found out we were going to have
guests. Not just any guests, but guests
who had lost their son about six
months ago to a tragic accident in
Mexico. This was probably the first
time they had really gone into their
son's familiar "territory" since the
funeral. Vince had told me not even a
week earlier that he didn't think they
were ready for something like this yet.
But "they are coming tonight," I
thought. "This is going to be very
heavy," I thought.
I knew the family fairly well. They
belong to the parish I grew up in. I
went to school with their kids. I
remember seeing them in Mass every
Sunday--it was a pretty awesome sight
to see a family of fifteen file into a
row. He, who always looked so proud
and confident, has the most comforting
and inviting voice; and she, who
always seemed to know exactly what
was going on with each of her kids, has
a smile that radiates safe reassurance in
even the worst of situations. They
always sat together at the head of this
family. They had a purpose in
somehow managing to bring a family
of that size to Mass every week. They
were always there. They were bringing
that family together with a profoundly
intense spiritual bond.
So there they were, praying with us.
I'm not even sure what the readings
were about, but I was sure that I was
really uncomfortable with the thought
of these people sharing their grief with
me tonight. Fr. Vince began to recollect
their son's life during the intentions,
and something very strange happened
to me . I found myself wondering what
it must feel like to lose a son. I tried to
imagine the pain of that emptiness, and
the frustration of not being able to
make sense pf it. I found myself being
thankful that these people had come to
share their time with us. Even more
than experiencing a shared grief, I
found myself being completely lifted
by the strength and the faith of our two
guests. It was important for them to be
there. They were asserting their faith
even in the wake of an absurd
occurrence.
Though I probably should have been
ashamed of myself for being so
selfishly preoccupied, I wasn't. I had
expected to be supporting, and
consoling grieving parents, but what I
found was that they had come to share
their strength and faith with me. They
brought us together in a profoundly
intense spiritual bond.
"I sure am lucky," I thought. "Thank
God this happened tonight," I thought.
Editor's note: Just a reminder, the
weekly mass is every Monday at 9:00
pm. Romero House is located at 3238
Vallejo St.
Saturday, September 10, was the
feast of our University's patron saint,
John Francis Regis, a French Jesuit
Priest who lived in the early
seventeenth century. There are parts of
his life I admire: his devotion to
prayer, his gentleness as a confessor,
his ability to reach out to prostitutes
and the poor.
But there were other parts to which I
wasn't drawn. At times, his prayers and
spiritual disciplining seemed a little too
fervent. He undertook these great
mountain missions under very
dangerous circumstances. And his
death was partly due to sitting in a
draft under a broken window during
freezing weather while hearing
confessions. I don't understand that
type of piety or that type of spirituality.
I keep thinking--Father Regis, why
didn't you just move your chair? The
man is supposed to be an example for
Jesuits today, but I can't get that chair
out of my mind.
What was the fire that inflamed him?
What took control of what we probably
Adsumus-"We are present"
call common sense? And then I
realized what it was. It's right there in
Scripture. It's what controlled St. Paul.
It's what controlled the saints and the
martyrs. It's the love of Christ. It's that
simple.
The life of Regis challenges us to
figure out how this love of Christ can
spill over into our own lives. And it's
not the type of love that many of us are
used to, at least not me. It's not
sensible at times, and it's not very safe.
lfwe are to be like Regis, we must
live in God's love as Jesus did. We
must manifest the glory of Jesus' selfgiving love. And that type of love isn't
neat and tidy. It's unshaven and
wrinkled, but it's alive. That type of
love overturns money tables, washes
dirty feet, and dies on a cross. It's
intense and confrontational, but it's
ALIVE. And somehow in the midst of
all that, this love can simply be with
people who are lonely, scared, or in
pain without trying to fix it or make
everything better. That type of love
celebrates weddings, eats with sinners,
and embraces children. It's quiet and
gentle, but very strong.
Our witness to the love that
inflamed Regis is at the very heart of
who we are as people of faith. This
love can never be merely neat and
tidy; it's too important. When we
manifest a love that isn't afraid to
cheer and weep, to sweat and groan,
then we are a sign to all that the
salvific love of Jesus is still with us in
our midst. When we are filled with the
love of Jesus, our love challenges the
smug and complacent among us but
also compassionately stands by those
afraid to change. When we can
manifest the love of Regis, we enable
all people to know how much they are
the object of God's gritty,
overwhelming, and passionate love.
Maybe John Francis Regis should
have moved his chair that cold night
in December. Who knows? That's not
really very important anymore.
Rather, let us hope that you and I can
always remember why he didn't.
Conservative Corner by the College Republicans
This issue: United States' interest in Haiti
by Nandini Stocker
College Democrats
Never in the known history of Regis
University has there been a chapter of
College Democrats of America on
campus. Finally, this fall, a group has
formed.
We are a group of energetic people
who, in conjunction with our national
headquarters in Washington, D.C.,
wish to promote political awareness
and activism on campus. Regis is a
learning community, and students
should have the educational
opportunity that political groups such
as the College Democrats could
provide outside of the classroom.
With the election approaching and the
many controversial issues currently
under debate all over the country, it is
a great time to be politically active.
Some activities College Democrats
have planned include: political
speakers, issue-oriented forums, open
discussion sessions, campaign
recruiting, voter registration drives,
and much more that students can
participate in throughout the coming
semester and year. Students will find
that attending political activities on
campus will provide them the chance
to channel their freedom of expression
and increase the awareness of others
as well.
More than anything, the College
Democrats wish for involvement. A
true student is always learning.
College Democrats of Regis
University meet every Tuesday at
5: 15 p.m. in Student Center Room
217. Any questions should be directed
to us in the Clubs and Organizations
Office, 458-5377.
by Jennifer Jahnke
Haiti's past is imbedded in political
instability. The violence that plagues
Haiti is nothing new to their society.
Aristide is not the first elected
official to be overthrown in the
Haitian government. The United
States government cannot force the
Haitian people to choose Aristide's
leadership; they must decide for
themselves.
Haiti has shown that it is capable
of overthrowing a dictatorship in the
past. For example, Aristide was put
into power by the people in this
manner. This same action could be
repeated again if the Haitian people
choose to do so. I agree that the U.S.
should support any efforts in the
direction of returning to democracy,
but there is a big difference between
support and a military invasion.
Aristide's supporters do not want
an invasion of their country because
the victory will not be for the Haitian
people but for the United States
government. If you remember the
front page picture of an American
soldier being dragged through the
streets of Mogadishu, you will also
remember that we were helping people
who were not appreciative of our
efforts because we invaded their
country. The American soldiers would
encounter the same attitude in Haiti.
Aristide would not be able to stay in
power under these conditions.
Aristide 's supporters need to overthrow
this government because it is the will
of the people, not the will of United
States government.
The United States has no military
goals or viable interests in Haiti.
According to Congressional Digest,
many members of Congress believe
that the Clinton Administration has
failed to identify a vital national
security interest in Haiti, or a cause
that would be worth the loss of
American lives. It seems to me that the
White House is motivated by it's
reputation, which they laid on the line
when they issued empty threats to
Haiti 's government. I do not believe
that this is worth putting American
lives at risk.

"Skylab" I went to one of those
"raves" for the first time. A good
friend, who will remain nameless, and
I left Regis around I 0:30 p.m. After
finding the location we entered the
warehouse and the music was pumping. There were easily over I 000
people there. The music was incredible. The light show was hypnotic.
Over 80% of the people there were
dancing. I even saw some other people
from Regis there.
The D .J. 's at the "rave" were

After a local band played a set, D.J.
Josh Wink from Philadelphia was on.
Josh Wink played one of the greatest
trance sets that I have ever heard. The
two hours that Josh Wink played for
went really fast. Then San Fransico's
wicked crew took over. The wicked
crew consist of underground legends
D.J. Garth and D.J. Jeno. By this time
I was down for the count. From very
reliable sources the wicked crew
rocked the house until 6:00 Sunday

This "rave" was an experience
that I won't forget. So if you know
any hardcore dancers on campus, get
them to tell you what to do so you
can experience a "rave". Remember
these are strictly for the hardcore!

The man formerly known as
Prince has released another... album.
This past summer, the symbol released "The Beautiful Experience."
An ... album featuring the poetic lyrics of the hit "The Most Beautiful
Girl In The World." Seven different
versions appear on the ... album.
No two songs are the same. Each
song is a different arrangement with
the same lyrics. Unique as, the creator himself, the album offers an array of music from hype dance to a
smooth slow jam. The man formerly
known as Prince, Roger Nelson, and
simply as Prince does an excellent
job with his ingenious creativity.
Another name connected to the eccentric symbol is Victor, as in his opera. The opera appeared on the album that boasted his symbolic name
on the jewel box.
Prince, not the man formerly
known as Prince, has released a new
album this summer as well. "The
Beautiful Experience" was released
under NPG Records and "Come"
was released under the Warner Bros.
label. Prince still holds a six record
contract with Warner Bros. Records.
However, Prince has also retired
from studio recording to concentrate
on other projects such as theater and
film. The entire situation seems
crazy but it is as simple as most algebraic equations. Since Prince also
changed his name, he has since released songs under his new unpronounceable name. When asked
about his plans to oblige to the contract, Prince reported he had an outstanding number of unreleased
soundtracks that would amply meet
his contract.
Prince is also heard lately with
Nona Gaye on the "The Love Sign."
The first song released off the "1800-NEW-FUNK" album. The album is comprised of various artists
with Prince.
The man has been found all over
this summer. The latest news is , expect something new from the man
formerly known as Prince soon.
Keep your ears open for the distinct
sound that is definitely Prince.
No matter what he decides to call
himself tomorrow, he will always be
known as Prince to his loyal fans.

Love Spit Love Hawks New CD
An Interview With Richard Fortus of Love Spit Love
by John Kujawski
Entertainment Reporter
Things seem to be going well for Richard Fortus, guitar player for one of
1994 's top alternative acts, Love Spit
Love, which also features Richard Butler, formerly of the British new wave act
The Psychedelic Furs. The band's selftitled release hit the stores just last month.
The disc has already gotten them an appearance on MTV's "120 Minutes,"
which the band hosted, a spot on the
"John Stewart Show," and a considerable
amount of radio airplay.
Prior to being a member of Love Spit
Love, Fortus played in Pale Divine, a
band out of St. Louis who opened for the
Psychedelic Furs on many tour dates in
I992. A couple of months after the tour,
Fortus teamed up with Richard Butler,
and Love Spit Love was formed.
In an over-the-phone interview, Richard Fortus discussed his CD, his producer, and the group's future plans. On
the subject of his album, he said, "We
***CONTEST***
wanted to do an album that takes you
someplace; an album that moved, as opposed to just doing an album that had a
certain sound to it."
The CD is heavy and electric at
times, mellow and acoustic at other
times, and towards that second-half of
the CD, it moves into atmospheric territory. Things may be different, however,
on the second Love Spit Love CD. "The
next album will be more in a jazzy
mood, more atmospheric as opposed to
following a certain formula," Richard
says. "There aren't too many people out
there doing that now, except for maybe
Pomo for Pyros."
Working with producer Dave Jerden
proved to be a good experience on this
musical outing and according to Fortus,
"A good producer is someone who is
very musical and can add ideas and be
objective. When you write a song you 're
too close to it to be objective."

WHAT'S WRONG WITH REGIS SPORTS?
I'LL TELL YOU
Intramural Action
Sports Editorial
Week one of volleyball intramurals
proved to be exciting. There are several
new teams with plenty of talent. It will
be interesting to see who can spike it out
for first. Green-n-Stinki against Amy
Ellingson was the season opener. Green
took the first game at 15 to 8. The second match went to Amy 11-9, but it was
Green who would win at 13-11.
The 5:30 matchup was Fly-nHawaiins against team Tracie. Hawaiins
took the first match 11-6. The second
match went to Tracie 12-10. The
Hawaiins proved they wanted to win by
taking the third match.
Day two of the season was Natural
Born Killers (defending champs) against
Valene. The Killers took the first game
15-8. Valene played tough and took the
second game 11-9, but the champs took
the third 13-11.
This first week was impressive to
watch. All the teams have what it takes
to win the title, but only one will get the
shirts and the bragging rights to say they
won. If you have not yet had a chance to
come watch intramural volleyball, come
on by the quad Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 4:30, you won't be disappointed.

Regis volleyball is ranked fourteenth in the nation. I think not! The
Regis women went into their co-hosted
tournament being the lowest ranked
team, yet they managed to overpower
every single opponent except for CalState Bakersfield. Other papers in the
Denver-metro area stated that Regis was
upsetting these other teams like, Metro,
Northern Michigan,
and Portland State.
Our team just simply
outplayed each of
these top ten teams.
The Ranger volleyball
squad showed that
they are going to win
the CAC this year just
like they were picked
to do so. They are going to do this because
the team is so high
powered that kills
even knock over the
opponents.
Even
though the women are
• 6-2, they proved this
weekend that they can
play with the socalled best in the
country.
Regis sports are
exciting this year. Our
fall teams are doing
great this year, and it
seems like students,
alumni, and faculty
just don't care. When
the nationally ranked
CU Buffs play a football game at Folsom
Field, it is packed. Or
when CSU football
upsets nationally
·ranked BYU, everyone gets behind the
Rams. Even though
Regis does not have a
football team, we do
have a two nationally
ranked teams . The
men's soccerteam has
three All-Americans
on their team, yet I bet
that 75% of the Regis
students don't even
have a clue who they
are. The volleyball
team is having a great season, and yet at
last weekend's tournament fans barely
filled one side of the bleachers. Gosh, I
remember when my high school basketball team was ranked in the top five in
the state-- every single seat was taken,
and people had to stand outside of the
gym and watch the games on monitors.
That was high school. Our teams are
among the best in the country, yet our
small fieldhouse, barely the size of most
high school gyms, does not even get halffull for a heated home match . And, if you
think basketball is a lot more exciting
that volleyball or soccer, I don't even
want to bring up last year's attendance
at our men's and women 's basketball
games. Maybe one thinks that a dunk is
awesome, well perhaps so, but I think
that a radical scissor-kick goal by Tommy
Gilhooly or an incredible kill by Felicia
Garcia ranks, in my book, as intense action.
Many of the athletes on campus believe that the Regis fan support for our
s
p
0
teams is less than decent. Our teams are
traveling around the nation and they see
support that they never get at home.
Watched any Regis soccer lately? Pretty
rough sport. Watched any Regis volleyball lately? Not your average family reunion game. Watched any Regis Golf?
We have a golf team? Really?
Our teams at Regis are more than
something special. Athletes don't get the
posh treatment that many other schools
give their athletes. Regis athletes work
hard, and it seems that they get little
gratitude from the so-called Regis Family. So to everyone, here is a challenge:
give up those afternoon cartoons, and go
watch a soccer game. Go out an hour
later, and go watch our volleyball team
crush another opponent. And to all faculty and staff, I know its not in your job
description, but it would be nice to see
you out supporting our teams, not just
because you're the special faculty coach,
but because you would like to see the
people that you teach and help everyday.
And to any alumnae, Regis has many
other exciting nights besides the one
where everyone gets free beer.
So there it is--a challenge. It's not
like we have terrible teams, so I don't
think that it would be that terrible to
spend and hour and a half giving the support that our teams deserve.

REGIS WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL TAKES SECOND IN THE
COLORADO CHALLENGE
by Stuart Foster
Sports Editor
The Regis women's volleyball team
went into the Colorado Challenge thinking that the tournament would be a great
way to see if they were going to be as
good as the rest in the nation. They came
out of the tournament in second place,
beating Metro State, Northern Michigan,
and Portland State while losing to Cal
State Bakersfield in the final match. In a
telephone interview with team captain
Katherine Craig, she thought that the
tournament was a good showing for
Regis. Craig felt that in the final game
the team had beaten themselves because
the team felt a little tentative. She felt
that the team had not given up the match
until the final point was made. Coach
Lavrisha thought that overall the tournament went really well and that it really could not have been a better weekend. He felt that the team was not as
aggressive in the final game as they were
in the other three games of the tournament. Lavrisha also mentioned that the
some of the teams that Regis faced this
weekend were missing some key players and that the team must not overlook
these teams when faced again.
The Rangers that made the Colorado
Challenge All-Tournament team were
Renee St. Marie, Felicia Garcia, and Niki
London. It was the first tournament team
that London has ever made.
The Ranger's will face will face Cal
State Bakersfield again this weekend in
California. Both coach Lavrisha and
Craig feel that the team can go undefeated in this weekend's tournament. The
team faced University of Northern Colorado on Tuesday and results of the match
will be in next weeks issue.

WOMEN'S SOCCER:·
·Authoritarian based team loses to
Regis Gusto
The game against Air Force started
quickly last Friday when Regis' Amy
Giltner scored in the first four minutes.
After that the Air Force Academy heated
up promptly to aggressiveness as one of
their players "head butted" Tatum
Mahoney. Although shaken up, Tatum
suffered more from having to remain a
spectator for the first half of the game
while Regis Sports Trainers asessed her
condition.
Meanwhile, players Holly Miller and
Sonja Pressnitz did their part in helping
goal keeper Dani Cambel by miraculously blocking shots that could have lost
the game for Regis. With some excellent steals by Sonja and excellent attempts at goal by Keri Harada, the first
half ended with Regis holding on to their
one point lead.
During the second half I couldn't
help but notice the attitudes on the sidelines. Regis' club all cheered enthusi-
astically for victory while the Air Force
Players stood silently behind their animated, and often ill-tempered, coaches.
On the field, however, Regis dominated
and very few minutes were spent with
the ball in Regis territory.
The same smug looking Air Force
players were quite heated on the field as
they earned themselves two yellow cards
in the latter portion of the game. Their
unleashed aggressiveness climaxed when
Air Force's #14 blatantly pushed Jenny
O' Brian from behind.
Jenni paid no attention to such conduct, though, and helped seal The
Academy's fate by assisting Amy
Giltner's second goal in the final seconds
of the game. The final score was 2-0.
Come see these Regis Women play
again today at 4: l 5pm as they try their
skills against Metro State here at home.
GOOD LUCK REGIS!!
