The inauguration Mass drew crowds of 150,000 to 200,000 people, according to Vatican estimates. 132 official delegations attended the Mass. The VIP section included six sovereign rulers, 31 heads of state, three princes, and 11 heads of government, including Vice President Joe Biden and the Argentine President Cristina Fernandez. Francis addressed the dignitaries and said, “Let us be protectors of creation, protectors of God’s plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment.” Francis also spoke about the importance of opening his arms to the poor and serving others. He emphasized the message of humility through his actions. During his first appearance as pope, Francis wore a simple papal white cassock instead of the red velvet cape of his predecessor. He then paid his own bill at the hotel he was staying at before his election to the papacy. Before the Mass, Francis stopped his car to bless a disabled man. Many people believe his papacy will be marked by his focus of caring for the poor. The 76-year-old Francis became the first Jesuit pope and the first pope from Latin America on Wednesday, March 13.

Xavier rules Economics Challenge A team of four Xavier students won the State Economics Challenge hosted by the University of Northern Iowa on March 13. Seniors Grant Hunt, Colby Trace, Alex Tietz, and David Kirpes brought home the State Championship after competing against another Xavier team in the final round of the competition. The Economics Challenge is a competition for high school students to test their knowledge of consumer economics in a competitive atmosphere. Led by Social Studies teacher Donna Winter, students in Xavier’s economics course were eligible to participate. To qualify for State, students completed a preliminary online National Economics Challenge test. They individually answered 30 questions about macro, micro, and international economics. The top six scoring teams throughout Iowa advanced to the State Competition, with Xavier qualifying five of the six teams and a total of 20 students with two alternates. The state competition kicked off with a series of two individual tests over microeconomics and macroeconomics. Following those two tests, students took a test over current events and international trade where the teams were allowed to work together. After each of the three tests, points were tallied and the top two teams moved on to a final Quiz Bowl round. Hunt, Trace, Tietz, and Kirpes faced their fellow classmates Daniel Pape, James Krouse, Chris Williams and Noah Hagen for a close last round. “I’m glad Mrs. Winter encouraged me to participate in the Economics Challenge and I’m thankful for her help preparing us to achieve our goal of winning State,” senior Colby Trace said. Winter will re-configure the teams for the national semifinals test to be administered April 16. The top four scoring teams in the nation will qualify for the finals May 17-19 in New York City.
