of a peacemaker Jesuit priest, peace activist, organizer, lecturer, retreat leader, author and editor are just a few of the many shoes worn by Rev. John Dear, S.J. The famous nonviolence leader will speak at Xavier at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday in Bellarmine Chapel. Dear will speak on "Disarming the Heart, Disarming the World: The Active Path of Nonviolence." The event is free and open to the public. Dear said that in college he wanted to either be a lawyer, newspaper publisher or rock star but none of them worked out. Instead, he discovered that his true calling was giving his life to God. If you have ever wondered where your Big Mac comes from you may have stopped by the Advocates for Animals table in the Gallagher Student Center March 21 and signed a pledge for the Meat Out. The pledges were designed to allow students to make promises to refrain from eating meat for a chosen period of time. Turn up the music and get ready to get your groove on! The Xavier University Dance Team is traveling to Daytona Beach, Fla. to compete in the Chick-Fil-A Cheer and Dance Collegiate Championship for the second year in a row.
