Neighbors leave angry notes on parked cars LMU administration continues to host community relations meetings to work on parking solutions. By Allison Croley News Editor

Design: Kevin Halladay-Glynn | Loyolan; For photo credits, see Page 3

As students, faculty and staff continue to park outside the Loyola Blvd. entrance to avoid the new parking permit fees, LMU neighbors are getting increasingly angry. During the last week, the Loyolan received several photos of notes neighbors left on cars. For more on parking and neighbors’ reactions, read the Board Editorial on Page 6.

While walking to class after parking outside the back gate, senior English major Galen Gomez was stopped by a woman handing out fliers. When Gomez declined to take the flier, the woman called her a foul name, according to Gomez. The next day, Gomez found the phrase “NO LMU” written on her car parked on Gonzaga Ave. on Wednesday, Aug. 28. Every car parked along the street was also vandalized. “I understand that the neighbors are upset that their usual spots are being taken by us students,” Gomez told the Loyolan in an email. “But as far as I know these streets are public parking, so I don’t feel like I should be harassed for not breaking any rules.” This is one example of a seemingly increasing number of confrontations that involve the LMU community and surrounding Westchester neighborhood. Over the past week, the Loyolan has received several photos of notes left on the cars of LMU students, staff and faculty, as well as several other tips about disgruntled neighbors, including messages written directly onto cars and houses. After the University instituted the parking permit fee last semester, students, faculty and staff started parking outside the Loyola Blvd. entrance in order to escape the fee. As a result, some of the surrounding community is upset with the numerous cars parked in front of their houses. However, the notes make clear that this unsettled dispute has escalated. “The community is getting fed up with LMU’s parking problems, the new lights on the soccer field, the ongoing disturbances of peace by students and LMU’s lack of effort to stop the problems,” wrote Andre Ingistov, an LMU neighbor, in an email to the Loyolan. “We are rallying our troops in the community and we are prepared to take action.” In addition to notes on cars and banners on houses, this action includes a Neighborhood

New Core includes First Year Seminars

Instead of taking English 110, freshmen students now from a variety of seminar-style courses. By Ali Swenson Asst. News Editor

With the onset of classes this year comes the introduction of the First Year Seminar, a new mandatory course for freshmen as part of the recently reconfigured undergraduate Core curriculum. Danelle Dyckhoff Stelzriede, administrative coordinator of the University Core Curriculum, outlined the goal of the new, three-unit seminar, which replaces the college writing course that was previously required for freshmen. “The course is designed to introduce entering freshmen to the academic culture of the university by providing them the opportunity to work in seminar-style classes

with a disciplinary faculty, a writing instructor, and members of the library staff,” she said in an email to the Loyolan. Focusing on information literacy, each new seminar uses library sessions and online modules to familiarize students with college-level research, according to Dyckhoff Stelzriede. Each class also requires a minimum volume of pages written by each student, according to Dermot Ryan, English professor of “Passing and Slumming: Crossing Lines in Literature and Film,” one of the seminars offered. In order to guide students through this, writing instructors and faculty members co-teach the students and work collaboratively to support them through drafting and revision.

You’ve seen them walking around campus. Maybe they’re in your classes, or sitting at the next table in the Lion’s Den. Maybe you even know some of them. They’re the new kids on the LMU block: the class of 2017. But who are they exactly? According to statistics collected from LMU’s Undergraduate Admissions Office, the class of 2017 is geographically diverse, larger in size than the past two years, and continues LMU’s trend of women outnumbering men. The regional assortment of the class of 2017 is notable, according to Executive Vice President and Provost Joseph Hellige. “[The] class of 2017 is a bit more geographically diverse than other classes in recent years,” Hellige said. Twenty-six percent of students in the class of 2017 are from out of state and represent 43 states outside of California, according to statistics. “I think the most different and interesting aspect of this group is their geographic diversity,” Matt Fissinger, Director of Undergraduate Admission said. “Sixty-nine percent from California is the

lowest since the economy went sour four or five years ago.” The geographic diversity is not confined to U.S. borders either. Five percent of the class of 2017 is made up of international students, representing 36 countries

around the world. Included in this five percent is Zelie Kasten, a freshman psychology major and international student from Kenya, who said that she

found out about LMU through her relatives. “I have family in this area,” Kasten said. “And they always recommended LMU to me and told me it would be a good fit

for me. I visited the campus and fell in love.” Conchita Widjojo, a freshman psychology major and an international student from Indonesia, shares Kasten’s sentiments. “I love LMU,” Widjojo said. “The weather is nice, and the people here are really friendly, and because it’s a small school we always see people we know when we walk around. As opposed to USC or UCLA where it’s 40,000 people and you meet someone and probably never see them again.” Although LMU still maintains a small student population, this year’s new incoming class is larger than the past two years. Up from 1,288 in fall 2011 and 1,278 in fall 2012, this year’s freshman class has 1,344 students. The majority of those 1,344 new students are female, according to the demographics from the Undergraduate Admissions Office, which show that the class of 2017 is roughly 58 percent female and 42 percent male. The class of 2017 is now part of the LMU community and will hopefully positively contribute to it, Hellige said. “We expect them to expect great things of themselves,” he said. “Fully embracing the intellectual life of the university and the many opportunities to live up to their full potential. New students keep us fresh and infuse new energy into our community, coming as they do with their own histories, gifts, and opportunities for growth.”

Parking issue escalates Parking from Page 1 Advisory Committee initiative to close the Loyola Blvd. entrance, according to a flier distributed around the neighborhood. A meeting took place on Aug. 22, but according to the Department of Public Safety (DPS) Chief Hampton Cantrell, who sits on the Neighborhood Advisory Committee board, no official solution was reached. These Neighborhood Advisory Committee meetings occur quarterly regarding community and LMU community relations, and have recently been concerned with parking issues primarily, according to LMU’s Associate Vice President of Administrative Services Mike Wong. Although the recent escalation of notes and banners may seem to suggest that the entire neighborhood is outwardly angry with the school, Wong noted that the demeanors of people at the meetings range from “more to less passionate.” He also

has not received an influx of complaints outside of the Neighborhood Advisory Committee meetings. “We want to come up with solutions that will work for both our students and the people living in the neighborhood,” Wong said. In response to student complaints about neighborhood confrontations, Director of Off-Campus Student Life (OCSL) Anthony Garrison-Engbrecht said that students need to follow the Los Angeles municipal code concerning public parking and be “good neighbors.” The key to being a good neighborhood is open dialogue between students and neighbors, GarrisonEngbrecht added. To try to achieve open dialogue, OCSL offers free mediation for students and their off-campus neighbors, and members of the University administration work with the local city council office and key neighborhood leaders, in addition to the Neighborhood

Advisory Committee. “It’s really important to share expectations before problems arise,” GarrisonEngbrecht said. Cantrell said that he found the notes left on cars this week “disconcerting” and that students need to “be aware of the tone and tenor in the neighborhoods right now.” Garrison-Engbrecht echoed Cantrell, advising students to “stay cool, be respectful and understand the context.”

Froderman says that the best part about choreographing Lip Sync this year is “the girls in Pi Phi,’’ because “everybody is super willing to work hard.” Work ethic is the most important thing for her as a choreographer.

with a professional dancer This week, Asst. News Editor Ali Swenson sits down with “So You Think You Can Dance” winner Lauren Froderman to talk about her Lip Sync choreography. 1. What kind of work goes into being a Lip Sync choreographer? Well, we have to come up with everything. It’s not just about the dances. We have to come up with what kind of theme we’re gonna do, what kind of backgrounds, scenery, and props do we want, what kind of costumes, what level of dancing. It’s so much more than just coming up with dance moves.

2. When did you start working on it? As soon as we found out the general theme of Lip Sync was America, we dived in with details right away. I think it was the beginning of summer.

Master of Arts in Youth Ministry

3. Did you choreograph Lip Sync last year? Yes. 4. Do you have other choreography experience before that? Yes. 5. If you were to describe yourself as a dance teacher, what would you say? I’m a very flexible dance teacher in that I like people to have fun and I like to interpret their own dance styles on top of my choreography. 6. Is it difficult to teach people who haven’t danced before? Not anymore. I taught some adults beginner dances for the first time two years ago, and it was so hard. I wanted to cry. It was so difficult. But I think getting that experience has helped me with Lip Sync. Not that they are all beginners, but it’s easier to do it if you’ve already done it before.

Doug Fields, M.Div. Author / Youth Leader

Jim Burns, Ph.D. Author / Speaker

7. What has been the best part about choreographing Lip Sync this year? The girls in Pi Phi. They’re just awesome. Everybody is super willing to work hard, and for me work ethic is the biggest thing. And attitude. I’m just lucky I got people who have both of those things.

Powerful. Flexible. Practical.

8. How has your previous experience on “So You Think You Can Dance” influenced your Lip Sync experience? I don’t think it’s helped me per se with Lip Sync, but I think the girls secretly respect what I have to say maybe a little bit more because they think maybe she knows what she’s talking about. Because I’m not a dance major or anything, some people may not even know I dance if it wasn’t for the show. So, I don’t know, maybe they listen to me better.

Flexible format Choose from online courses and one-week summer intensives, or a traditional classroom setting.

9. Do you get nervous before you step onstage to dance? No. No, I’m always just excited to dance. I’ve been doing it since I was three, so it’s second nature. It’s more like ‘yay, I get to do it.’ It’s not like ‘oh, no.’

Hands-on experience Intentional integration of academic and experiential components enhances learning and advances your career.

10. What would you say to people who are nervous to perform? Just remember the whole reason why you do it. Why you do any sort of art, it’s for the joy of it. It’s to send a message. It’s never to be judged or to be in pain. That usually helps with the nerves. It’s all about fun.

Respect enables community relations

ommunity relations is a two-way street, and recently, that street has been crowded with students’ parked cars. Since LMU instituted its parking permit fees, two things have been constant: students parking off campus, and neighbors voicing their displeasure about it. Of course, students have been parking off campus even before the fee – and neighbors weren’t happy about it then, either. In recent weeks, however, some of LMU’s neighbors have ramped up their efforts to discourage street parking and have even turned to vandalism and name-calling. The Neighborhood Advisory Committee is pursuing more diplomatic solutions like implementing a permit system in the neighborhood, even co-funding the measure. Neighbors have countered by suggesting to abolish the parking fee. That’s surely many an LMU student’s fantasy, but unfortunately that’s all it is: a fantasy. The University has made clear the fee is here to stay. Closing the Loyola Blvd. entrance to pedestrians and cyclists has also been suggested, but that would negatively impact campus accessibility. We understand that the parking issue is

frustrating. After all, many students live in the homes surrounding LMU and understand the struggle to find a spot. However, we ask that those living in Westchester treat the University with the same respect they expect from students. The threats, the vandalism and the constant accusations that LMU is a bad neighbor just make the relationship more hostile than it needs to be. Neighbors need to accept the reality that they live in a University neighborhood. This isn’t Beverly Hills. The street is public property, and students have just as much a right to it as homeowners. They’ve historically opposed a permit system, only this summer has there been any positive reception to permit parking – and it remains just on the table so far. Frankly, our parking problems will have to be resolved by compromise, and disrespectful actions don’t prompt any sort of movement in that direction. The Loyolan knows that living with neighbors means compromising. The University even has devoted staff positions and put regulations in place to ensure that LMU does its part. So it’s time for the neighbors to do theirs.

Re:“New Loyolan; same coffee cart,” August 29, 2013 Dear Executive Editorial Board: While I find it commendable that the Loyolan mentioned salient points from the summer campaign to keep the coffee cart on the campus, I believe that your August 29 editorial missed a very important point. In the process of highlighting ASLMU President Shawn Troedson’s role in the affair, you described the Facebook group as “at many points, close to chaos, without a leader or any clear mission statement.” I do not consider this to be an accurate description of the campaign. I followed the page closely as events unfolded, and it was clear to me throughout that leadership was always provided by the students like senior mechanical engineering major Marc Papakyriakou (who created the group) and senior Spanish major Alejandra Alarcon, among others, who spent a lot of time and effort clarifying issues on the page and keeping the group focused. They did just as much towards “channelling students “passionate rhetoric” as Troedson did. So while it is important to highlight the role of elected representatives such as Troedson, we must not neglect the contributions of the other students who stepped up to the plate even without being formally elected to do so. For me, this campaign was a real-life illustration of the Social Change Model of Leadership Development espoused by the LMU Ignatian Leadership Institute, and by giving credit where it is due we are able to point out to people what good spontaneous leadership can look like. Nonetheless, I look forward to seeing how the Loyolan’s digital coverage will develop its ability to present the various aspects of such news We’d Listories in the future.

We were wrong. As much as I love the event, and what it does for our community, it is imperative that the preparation for the event changes, sooner rather than later. Some Greek organizations are spending upwards of 20 hours a week rehearsing for a voluntary, charitable dance competition. This is not including time before school started. The current structure is simply not working. According to senior psychology major Nick Warner, who is partially in charge of the event on behalf of Greek Council, a third of the profit is donated to the philanthropies of the organizations that win the prize. Thumbs up. Donating to charity in any capacity is a good thing. Other than the physical cash that is donated, the bragging rights an organization receives cannot be monetarily measured.

ban Lip Sync or stop practicing. The quality of the performance makes it an event that people get excited about. But there needs to be a limit. There need to be restrictions. Greek Life needs to do two things for the system to be improved. They need to put a strict cap on how many hours per week organizations can practice, with strict penalties if organizations exceed the limit. Just as the NCAA mandates how often Division I athletes can practice, Greek Life needs to follow suit. Let’s go one step further: Greek Life should also require that all practices be held at campus facilities. Many organizations, including mine, go off campus to practice. If Greek Life limits the number of hours per week, they also need to make sure organizations don’t break the rule by going off campus to dance for eight-plus hours. Lip Sync is one of my favorite events of the year, but the current preparation is extremely flawed and needs to be improved to maintain the integrity of the event, and to keep the corny, five-minute charitable performances in perspective.

ball into a hoop from the three-point line, I can definitely tap my feet a few times and smile. I thought, “How hard can it be to do some twists and turns in rhythm with a song?” However, I was suddenly out of my element when I realized that my friends could dance like Britney Spears and I was Miley Cyrus at the MTV Video Music Awards. OK, I might be exaggerating, but I wasn’t great. I learned the hard way that you can do a dance sequence 100 times and still need improvement – I think my sore arms and legs can attest to that. I felt like that one kid in middle school P.E. who, no matter how hard they tried, was never able to hit a baseball with a real bat the same way a baseball player did. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to move on the dance floor nearly as well as my sorority sisters can. Now that I’ve been through endless hours of Lip Sync practice I have a new respect for dancers, cheerleaders and the casts of the “Step Up” movies. This experience has shown me that I should be more open-minded when it comes to people’s talents. As someone who loves playing sports, I thought I knew how to do everything athletic. It turns out, however, that dancing is not on my list of talents. I’ll put it on the “other” list right under cooking, doing laundry without shrinking my clothes and singing. I may have scoffed at dancers before, but come Saturday night at Gersten Pavilion I’ll be proud to say that I’m one of them.

Senior marketing major Taylor Markel tries on an innovative coat for this fall’s fashion. ventional shapes will be traded out for rich colors and striking silhouettes. A coat is an investment piece that is worn throughout the fall months; why not make it a standout wardrobe favorite while exemplifying your own personal flair? Masculine prints and menswear fabrics This fall we’ll be seeing a lot of checks, plaids, houndstooth and squares in prints, fabrics and styles inspired by an army vibe with lots of military details and heavy textures. This is a bold change from the simpler, more delicate prints we’re used to in summer.

Graphic beanies Although this trend is seen more on women, it can also work on men. Instead of pairing it with a pullover and basketball shorts, wear a graphic beanie with an oversized denim jacket, dark wash slim-cut jeans, worn-in T-shirt and combat boots. If you feel naked without some accessories, pile on a lightweight chainlink necklace.

Graphic beanies, seen on sophomore chemistry major Vincent Ovalle, are one of the many accessory trends this fall.

Your fashion translator: Men’s fall fashion

s a little girl, high fashion magazines confused me so much. Though I always excitedly leafed through the artistic pages of W and Vogue, I didn’t understand how any of these exaggerated and costly styles, patterns and combinations could be worked into the wardrobe of your average subscriber. One day, a fashion epiphany struck me. These magazines, as well as other publications, set seemingly extreme trends that are watered down by T’Ryan Times local stores so that the By Ryan Johnson average person feels comfortable wearing Copy Editor them. In addition to magazines, things like one’s profession, culture or location can help formulate a trend. These inspirations helped me devise a list of emerging trends for LMU men to feel GQ stylish, comfortable and fashion-forward.

Cinema club goes beyond film students Club Spotlight ASK THE CINEPHILES By Christopher James A&E Editor

ust like the classic Italian film “Cinema Paradiso,” it all started in a projection booth. After talking about it while working together as projectionists in Mayer Theater, senior animation major Conner Troxclair and alumnus Cal Benedict (’12) have finally launched the official LMU Cinema Club. The first meeting is on Saturday, Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. with a screening of “Life of Pi” followed by a discussion. The goal, according to Troxclair and Benedict, co-presidents of the club, is to have screenings each Saturday. “We saw there was a need to fill,” said Troxclair. “We both love movies, we both love film. We wanted to talk about it and share it with everyone else.” What started as a group of no more than 30 friends watching movies in Mayer Theater is now expanding into a free campus-wide event. Troxclair and Benedict

are hoping to target new and different groups on campus to extend past their friend base. “We saw a lot of freshmen come to our table at the ice cream social ... so that will be a good way to build,” said Benedict. “Hopefully we will get a lot of non-School of Film and Television students too.” Besides watching and discussing films weekly in Mayer Theater, the club hopes to organize trips to off-campus theatres to indulge in films from current filmmakers. Last semester, the club organized trips to see new independent films at cinema staples such as the Landmark. Troxclair hopes that these events will continue as the club officially begins this weekend and works with theaters to make it a more economical possibility. “We are going to talk to a few different theaters to offer lower costs for a group,” said Troxclair. “The idea is that there are a lot of really great films, especially in the L.A. area, and it’s a lot more fun to go to these events with a group and being able to talk about it and share that experience with a bunch of

to serve as a social outlet, as its programs have even found their way onto the syllabus of certain classes in the School of Film and Television. According to Benedict, their screening of the Chinese film “Yi Yi” will be attended by the Contemporary Chinese Cinema class taught by professor Yanjie Wang as part of the course syllabus. “A lot of the success of the Cinema Club is that it is a shared support from the faculty and student body,” said Troxclair. “We want to make sure we are involved in both and everyone has been great about it so far.” Along with pairing film choices with course curriculum, Troxclair and Benedict are trying to make each film choice span a different country or time period while still being accessible and unique. “We are not going to show films that will alienate every-

one; we want to show films everyone will enjoy,” said Benedict. “Although there will be one or two every semester that will require taking a leap of faith.” In the end, the LMU Cinema Club will aim to broaden the creative and educational aspirations of those who attend while also being a social smash. “We believe that in order to have a complete film and television education you need to see a lot of films,” said Troxclair. “You need to be able to talk about it and have that confidence to know what you are talking about. That makes you a better filmmaker, creator and artist.”

prepares for WCC play

Cross-Country from Page 12 to push Strum along with senior John Pickhaver and junior Michael Vorgitch. In the team’s first meet last Saturday at the Mark Covert Classic in Brea, Calif., Strum (24:46.7) and Dalton (25:18.8) finished first and second. Dalton and Joerger are both returning from top-40 finishes in last year’s WCC Championships, while Vorgitch will attempt to build off of his record-setting spring on the track. Vorgitch broke the school’s 3K steeplechase record this past spring on his first try with a time of 9:18.45. Rounding out the team’s top runners is senior John Pickhaver. The graduate student has one year of eligibility left and decided to attend LMU after spending four years at Villanova. Pickhaver comes from a program that has qualified for nationals for two consecutive years. On the women’s side, senior Sheree Shea returns for her final season. Shea has been on LMU’s campus since 2009, but redshirted her junior year in 2011 after suffering a season-ending stress fracture. Coming off an injury-plagued year, the All-WCC preseason selection finished third in the 2012 WCC Championships with a time of 20:34 in the 6K and posted a personal best of 19:54.62 at the NCAA D1 West Regional Championships, qualifying her for the NCAA National Championship meet. “Sheree is one of the toughest kids I’ve ever coached,” Guerrero said. “She brings that championship mentality – she’s the embodiment of that.” Despite becoming the third-ever LMU runner to qualify for the national meet, Shea has a sour taste in her mouth from her subpar showing at the meet that placed her 181st out of 253 runners. “It’s a whole different race. I’ve never been in race with that many fast people,” Shea said. “It’s crazy.” Two runners also expected to make waves this season are junior transfer Grace Zamudio and freshman Danielle

The pair finished first and second respectively at the Mark Covert Classic,with times of 17:45.5 and 17:53.0. Shanahan, a graduate of Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, Calif., posted top 30 times nationally in both the 1600m and 3200m in track. “She’s one of the top freshman in the country,” Guerrero said. Though the women’s team does not have as many seniors as the men’s squad, Guerrero believes it to be one of the deepest teams he’s ever coached. “Now we got kids packed in right behind the number one runner,” Guerrero said. “When you have depth, you have a mentality to push each other.” In the preseason WCC coaches poll, the

men were picked to finish fifth while the women were picked to finish fourth. The men’s side is top-heavy with both Brigham Young University (BYU) and University of Portland ranked No. 4 and No. 8 nationally. The LMU women also will have stiff competition in the conference with BYU and Portland picked to finish ahead of LMU. The team travels to Malibu next weekend for the WCC Preview Meet, and will then train and compete in six other meets through October until the WCC Championships on Nov. 2. “I just really want us to go out with a bang with the senior class,” Strum said. “This could be our best year ever and I hope it is.”

balancing that out,” freshman outside hitter Kristie Hewko said. “I think in the future it would be good for our team to work on finding a balance and keeping our emotions equal throughout the whole match.” Keil believes that her teammates have improved their game through their experiences playing sand volleyball; the team competes in various sand tournaments from mid-March to late April. “Last year, we started beach volleyball, and that added to our improvement in the fall,” she said. “A lot of girls came back so much better and everyone was on top of their stuff. There are only two of you out there, so reading and talking improves a lot. I know it improved my game immensely.” After a three-game tournament in San Antonio this week, the Lions begin conference play with two, back-to-back home games. LMU plays the University of San Francisco on Sept. 19 and Santa Clara University on Sept. 21. With conference play in a few weeks, Keil said that the team is focusing on three main objectives. “Our three goals are to have an attack mentality going into every play, constantly talk and have a strong huddle – it helps our team when we make mistakes,” Keil said. “If we do all three goals, the games will take care of themselves.”

LMU boasts deeper roster Water Polo from Page 12 NCAA Championships for the first time since 2010. The last two seasons have ended in disappointment for players, coaches and fans after the second consecutive exit in the WWPA Championships semifinal round, last season against the Air Force Academy. “We have an All-American in John Mikuzis who was one of the best players in the conference last year in the middle,” said Loughran. “It will take time for everyone to get into their roles, but it’s going to be nice to put it all together.” The team’s biggest rival for a conference championship this season, per usual, is the UC San Diego Tritons, who have been in the conference final game the last two seasons. The team will play them on Sept. 25 in La Jolla, Calif., but could also be matched up with them in one of the five tournaments the Lions will play in this year, including the WWPA Championships. Unlike last season, the team will play the majority of its regular season games at home with games against rivals Pepperdine University on Sept. 14 and UCLA on Sept. 28 as well as conference games against the Air Force Academy, UC Davis and Santa Clara University in October and November. Not only will the Lions attempt to put themselves in a favorable position

for the conference tournament, but they also try to defeat a top-four team for will the first time in program history. The Lions will play the University of Southern California (USC), UC Berkeley and UCLA this season, never having defeated the perennial powerhouses of California competition. Aside from the UCLA game on Sept. 28, the team will play reigning national champions USC and UC Berkeley this weekend in the Triton Invitational, the first tournament of the Lions’ schedule. The club will also travel on Oct. 19 to USC for another match against the Trojans. With a competitive schedule and a young team for Loughran in his 17th season, how high are the chances that the team can contend for not only a conference championship, but also a chance at making noise on the national stage? Junior attacker Seth Coldren, who was third on the team last season in goals scored, pointed to the increased maturity the team has gained. “We are focusing on being more poised in the pool,” said Coldren. “Some of our teammates have had bad attitudes in the past, but it’s all constructive and we are working on learning to take that communication better.” The Lions’ first game will be Saturday, Sept. 7 at 8:30 a.m. against California Lutheran University.

year who have developed nicely and are ready to take an increased role and play at the next level, like Seth Coldren and Jake Villarreal, and the true freshmen who are looking to contribute right away.” “Because of the injuries, I was able to play a lot of two-meter defender last year,” said Villarreal. “That gave me the confidence to train even harder in the offseason and give myself a whole new confidence as a player.” The Lions’ three freshman additions –utility Matt Cuozzo, sprinter Jon Beck and two-meter defender Cory McGee – will see action this season, including possibly during the opening weekend. Now that the players seem to be finally healthy again, they look to return to Western Water Polo Association (WWPA) dominance and once again return to the

LMU could have the best men’s and women’s cross-country teams it’s ever had. Will the team live up to its expectations? “We’re not going to be happy unless we have a historic year,” Head Coach Scott Guerrero said. The men’s team is comprised of seven seniors, including a core group made up of Drew Dalton, Mike Evans, Kevin Joerger, Dan Smith and Weston Strum, who have competed together for four years. Since his freshman year Strum has been the number one runner in this group and this year is no different. In 2012, Strum garnered All-WCC first team honors and placed seventh overall at the West Coast Conference (WCC) Championships. He finished 45th overall with a personal best time of 30:29.94 in the 8K at the NCAA DI West Regional Championships. This fall he will have to finish within the top 25 to be considered for an at-large spot at the NCAA National Championship meet. Though he is clearly the team’s top runner and has his eyes set on qualifying for nationals, the All-WCC preseason selection deflects any idea that his personal goals are at the forefront of his mind when he’s competing. “We try not to be competitive within ourselves. We want the team to do well – that’s all we care about in cross-country – so I don’t really care if I’m number one or number three on the team,” Strum said. “I don’t think anybody really cares what number they are on the team, as long as the team does well.” Strum wants to become the first evermale runner at LMU to qualify for the national meet, but he’ll need help from his teammates to achieve this goal. Dalton and Joerger are both expected

A healthier and deeper roster has the men’s water polo team excited for this season. By Dan Raffety Managing Editor

Last season that was largely defined by injuries, so how will the Lions respond this year with a young team that promises a new level of depth and a shot at returning to the NCAA Championships? Stiffer competition. The men’s water polo team lost junior utility Joe Ferretti, junior attacker Matt Stipanovich, senior two-meter John Mikuzis and sophomore two-meter Vuk Cvetkovic for significant time last season due to various injuries. Add in the offseason ACL surgery for sophomore

attacker Milutin Mitrovic, and it would be fair to say that the Lions haven’t had many of their top guns in the pool at the same time. But according to Head Coach John Loughran, this may be the deepest team he has had in his 16 seasons on the bluff, with the aforementioned players back from injury, as well as the returning starters and the freshman class. Loughran, the winningest coach in LMU water polo history, said he envisions at least 14 to 16 players that could see game action this season – a dramatic increase from a year ago, when it seemed like every legitimate scoring threat was on the bench with a nagging injury. “We have something that we haven’t had in a number of years, which was depth,” said Loughran. “We have freshmen who redshirted last year that are coming in and ready to play.

Last year, the women’s volleyball team set the bar high. This season, they are ready to raise it. In 2012, the Lions earned a berth to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2005, upsetting cross-town rival Pepperdine, who at the time was ranked nationally at No. 24. Although the Lions lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament to No. 17 Western Kentucky University, the team’s mere presence at the tournament represents the program’s improvement. So what’s in store for the team this year? The Lions graduated only one senior last year: middle blocker Kenna Crouse. This year, the team has four seniors: defensive specialist Betsi Metter, redshirt outside hitter Kathleen Luft, outside hitter Felicia Arriola and redshirt outside hitter Taylor Scioscia. “The biggest way to build off of [last season] is that we have so many players coming back,” Head Coach Tom Black said. “They have that experience, and they know what it takes to get there. They can handle that moment better next time, so that’s the biggest part of it.” The Lions kicked off their season last weekend by hosting the Double-

The team swept North Texas and Albany, but fell to UCLA in four games. “We learned a lot from each game,” junior middle blocker Litara Keil said.

“We learned what it’s like to play really well and what it’s like to play down.” “The effort was there, we just needed to execute a little bit better,” Black added. “I was really pleased with our passing. Our blocking could have been better. We did a lot of good things, and it was a good match – it showed us a lot
