BOSS WEEKEND

"Faith is always a s earch, never an arrival." These words best describe B.O.S.S. weekend. Big Old Sharing Session was a new innova­ tion on the USD campus. A few interested students asked Fr. Ben Carrier how to start such a project. They were referred to Fr. Neal Dolan and BOSS was born. Fr. Larry Dolan and Fr. John Malley joined the cause, along with a group of ten students, Sr. Helen Lorch and Sr. Dolores. The student-initiated B.O.S.S. weekend strove to achieve a closer rapport on cam­ pus. The weekend was run on a loosely or­ ganized schedule with various activities aimed at developing an awareness of self and one's relationship with others. Communica­ tion, love, peace are words for application. The purpose of the weekend was to demon­ strate the "livability" of these ideals. When students return on Sunday after­ noons, changes can be noticed in them. Re­ turning B.O.S.S. weekenders remembered that "Happiness was born a twin-in order to have it, you must share it."
