During Nov. 20 - 24, approximately 30 Saint Mary’s University students will be joining University of Wisconsin-La Crosse on a bus trip to Fort Benning, Ga., to protest the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC). This has become an annual event for Pass, who has been going since he was a freshman. For those who can not make it on the trip, there will be a vigil held on campus.

The club leaders are open to going in whatever direction the members want for discussion and are always looking for new ideas. If there is a topic pertaining to peace and justice that you would like to cover or learn more about, just let them know.

The Peace and Justice club meets every Monday night at 8 p.m.


SMU Kidz Paintball

The SMU Kidz paintball club is all about strategy, technique and determination.

The club is in its seventh year and going strong with 11 active members. On Nov. 22 and 23, the SMU Kidz have a Midwest North Division tournament in Stinger, WI. To raise money for the tournament and other supplies the club needs, members will be selling t-shirts.

Over October break, the SMU Kidz were joined on the field by a
group of international students. It was the first time playing paintball for most of the students. “It was fun to watch them improve as they figured out some strategies,” said club president Mike Bonk. “After a few rounds, they figured out that communication is very important to teamwork.”

Contact Mike Bonk at mjbonk07@smumn.edu to play a game of paintball or join the club.
