Julia Campion News Intern @LALoyolan No other higher- education institution in North America recycles more bottles, cans, paper or cardboard than LMU, according to Bill Stonecypher, manager of Solid Waste Management. RecycleMania is a North American recycling tournament for colleges and universities that promotes waste reduction activities on college campuses. Their goal is to inspire, empower and mobilize students and faculty to benchmark and improve waste reduction efforts. The official RecycleMania Competition , managed by Keep America Beautiful, runs from Feb. 7 to April 2, and the winners will be announced on April 15. On Friday, Feb. 19, participants from the first week will be posted online. LMU’s 2015 recycling rate was 81.9 percent and the University was rewarded as the first school to win four out of eight weight-based categories, according to Stonecypher. These achievements have inspired LMU’s Recycling and Department of Facilities Management to continue their success. “Our goals are to continue to source See Recycle | Page 2 Delta Sigma Phi dunks for donations Sophie Broide | Loyolan Delta Sigma Phi's Delta Dunk event was held last Saturday to raise money for their philanthropy, the American Red Cross. While the primary competition consisted of a game combining elements of basketball and capture the flag, attendees also had the opportunity to engage in games like cornhole, disk smash and spikeball. The event also featured "Surfer Taco" and “Rice Balls of Fire" food trucks. Dance night mixes up moves Sophie Broide | Loyolan Students worked on their dance moves with the Martes en Familia dance night on Tuesday, Feb. 16. This event was sponsored by Chicano Latino Student Services. It offered lessons in Bachata, Salsa and Ballet Folklorico. Each lesson lasted 30 minutes and brought together students through the art of dance. Global imagination grows at LMU The World Policy Institute at LMU brings University step closer to international aspirations. Karis Addo-Quaye Incoming Editor-in-Chief @LALoyolan The World Policy Institute’s Los Angeles establishment at LMU is the most recent, and perhaps most notable, step towards the now well-known notion of a globally imaginative LMU envisioned by President Timothy Law Snyder since his inauguration last semester. The launch of WPI@LMU, the name given to the partnership between LMU and the New York-based and internationally- focused think tank, will open up a host of opportunities to students and faculty to engage in national and international policy-making and sociopolitical action. Internships will be offered at either the Los Angeles or the New York offices. Twice-monthly blogs for their New York website will open up LMU policy makers to an audience of 1.5 million fellow movers and shakers. Yearly publications from LMU faculty will appear in their journal. The same publication was recognized by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service as the best reading material for Congress on America’s global role. This has led to high-quahty and high-impact books, such as Ahmed Rashid’s “Jihad: The Rise of Militant Islam in Central Asia,” Rajan Menon’s “End of Alliances,” and Brian Steidle’s “The Devil Came on Horseback,” among other published works by WPI fellows and editors, according to their website. The launch event itself garnered enough attention to usher the excess crowd into the Macintosh Center where a screen displayed addresses from President Snyder; Joseph A. Cari, WPI’s advisory board chair; Robbin Crabtree, the dean of the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts; and Michael Genovese, the president of WPI@LMU. In addition to these esteemed members of the LMU community, Ahmanson Auditorium welcomed four former U.S. ambassadors to speak at a panel discussion about the role of democracy and this nation in the multitude of political conflicts, environmental phenomena and social issues experienced worldwide.
