By Heather O'Brien New faces will accompany the new programs of Campus Ministry this fall, as a result of a personnel changes that occurred over the summer. Peggy Clark, director of special services in student affairs, has assumed the position of acting director of Campus Ministry. Former director Rev. Thomas Grace, C.M., resigned in the spring. Fr. Grace stepped down from the position after eight years in order to devote more time to his ministry. "It has given me more of an opportunity to be with students and faculty," he added. Nationwide Search Held A nationwide search was held to fill the position, but according to Clark "we weren't satisfied with the caliber of people who interviewed." By Murrey Jacobson and Joseph Lowery A last minute vote by the City Council has given DePaul a second chance to purchase the Goldblatt building as an extension of its Loop Campus. By deferring a key vote late Thursday afternoon, the City Council prevented an immediate decision that would have legally dictated that the Goldblatt building at State Street and Jackson Boulevard be razed. Sawyer, Richardson Meet Mayor Eugene Sawyer, who originally backed a proposal that would make the Goldblatt's site available for a new federal office building, met with DePaul President Rev. John T. Richardson, C.M., on Wednesday. That meeting, Sawyer said, was critical in persuading him to postpone a vote on the federal proposal. "We met with the DePaul people and with the Greater State Street Council, and it was communicated to us that this [Goldblatt's] site would be a desirable site for what DePaul wanted to do," Sawyer explained at a press conference in City Hall. "We are extremely pleased with the DePaul people." "We're very pleased with the speed with which Mayor Sawyer acted on this," Fr. Richardson said. "We took a good hard look at Goldblatt's, and we presented our plans to the Mayor. Although much work and effort was put in by his administration to make possible another significant project, Mayor Sawyer took time from his very busy schedule to sit down with me and other DePaul officials...to hear our plans for the use of the building." The university began looking at the possibility of bidding on the Goldblatt's building last winter, but submitted its first formal request to the city on Sept. 14, said Ken McHugh, vice president for business and finance. "We were late entries in this process," McHugh explained. "Our interest peaked at a time when the city had already set other things in motion." Reports began appearing in Kup's column of the Chicago Sun-Times that the City Council would vote on Thursday to make the site available to a private bidder to develop the U.S. General Ser- The search for a permanent director will be continued in October. Two new members of the staff this year include Diane Jakubik, a recent DePaul graduate, and Rick Jones, new to the field of Campus Ministry. They will join returning staff members Grace and Sister Jean Maher. Since spring quarter, Campus Ministry has lost Mike Becker, Louise Storino, and Kathleen Sinclair as campus ministers because of personal reasons. JoAnn Slater departed from the Ministry's Loop Campus division to take a position with Admissions. And Rev. Jay Jung, C.M., has switched departments and is now working for Human Resources.

Strong Support for DePaul McHugh also cited citywide support for DePaul as the main reason that turned an aldermanic wave of support in the university's favor. "I don't know if you can attribute the change in attitude to any one thing. But there was a lot of support for us out there."

But because any private bidder had to specifically guarantee the Goldblatt's site by Friday, Sept. 23, the GSA deal died in council chambers yesterday when the whole issue was referred back to the Land Acquisition Committee. Photos/John Jezak, Photo Editor lobbying effort Thursday: "The amount of support for DePaul had a lot to do with it. It even surprised me." One source close to university officials said that at least 14 aldermen were ready to back up DePaul had the City Council attempted to sell the site to a private developer for the GSA. (See GOLDBLATT'S, page 4) We're here to help students become more aware of their faith." Some of the plans for the year include a new 7 pm mass on Sundays that will eventually be run entirely by the students, prayer breakfasts, and outreach programs. Other goals this year include increased social awareness and pastoral presence. Students will be encouraged to take part in social activities, which include Hunger Awareness Week, Global Awareness Week, and the Diner's Club, as well as other volunteer programs. "We want the campus ministry seen as the presence of the Catholic church on campus," said Clark. "We're here for the students and their issues." "I've never done anything quite like this before. The time is right, here at DePaul," added Jones.
