CINCO DE MAYO, commemorating the Mexican victory over the French
Criminologists to review Security
Appointment of a new director of
Security, formerly scheduled for
May 1, has been set back a month
while two outside consultants re¬
view the University’s Security pro¬
gram.
“Being that we’re between di¬
rectors, we though it would be an
ideal time to look at the total
program,’’ commented John Pfaff-
inger, vice president for Business
Affairs. “We’ve been in the busi¬
ness of managing our own depart¬
ment for six years now'. We’re
providing a very sensitive service,
and its time to stop and take a look.
I welcome the chance for outside
criticism, of an outsider’s critique
of what we’re doing.’’
The two consultants are Dr.
Gary Adams, chairman of the
department of Criminal Justice at
California State University, Long
Beach; and Dr. John Kenney,
professor of Criminal Justice at Cal
State Long Beach.
Both men have worked as secur¬
ity consultants to other Universi¬
ties, Pfaffinger noted.
During the next 30 days, Adams
and Kenney will spend time on
campus, and will be conducting
personal interviews with faculty,
students and staff. Pfaffinger an¬
nounced that anyone who would
like to schedule a meeting with the
two consultants should call his
office, at 642-2738, or the office of
Business Manager Clyde Myers, at
642-3182, to make arrangements,
Pffafinger said that approximate¬
ly 50 people have applied to the
Security director’s job, vacant since
March 23, when William Broadnax
was dismissed from the post after
an assault and battery charge was
filed against him by a LMU
Security officer.
Myers has assumed the role of
acting director of Security until a
replacement can be chosen.
4 students receive business award
For their work in helping the
deaf-mute owner of a small prints
ing shop put his business on its
feet, four Loyola Marymount se¬
niors won a first place award from
the Small Business Administration
for the district that includes Cali¬
fornia, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii
and Alaska.
J ack Gyben , Diane Hastert , Patty
Kelly and Vince Muscarella offered
their assistance as part of the Small
Business Management class at
LMU, a course that uses actual
consulting cases to teach students.
Their case is now being judged
along with the other nine regional
winners to determine the best in
the United States.
Oliver Sandager set up his print
shop in 1976, borrowing money to
do it, after being employed a
number of years by other printers.
Sandager lost money through his
first 10 months of operation, work¬
ing alone for 18-hour days.
The students helped him move to
a less expensive location, negotia¬
ted new financing, and convinced
him to hire an employee to handle
the counter work.
The four also researched and set
up proper pricing for his services,
and developed methods and proce¬
dures for his operations so Sanda¬
ger could control his busiftdss—ffi-
stead of it controlling him. In
addition, they planned a marketing
and advertising program for the
firm.
The students received Sanda-
ger’s case through the SB A Small
Business Institute, a student con¬
sulting program which offers help
to owners of small concerns.
The students worked on the case
during the Fall, 1977 semester, and
their effort was selected as the
“best consulting case” for 1977 at
LMU by their instructor, Fred
Kiesner, assistant professor of
Business Administration.
“It’s really an honor,” Kiesner
commented. “They made the top
10 out of 8,000 cases” at 400
universities across the country.

1100 students sign anti-'F' petition
by Eric Rude
In response to the University ,
Council’s recent reinstatement of
the “F” grade, over 1,100 LMU
students have signed a petition
asking that this decision be sus¬
pended until the new student
Berrigan to talk on religion, politics
Daniel Berrigan, Jesuit priest
and political activist, will be at
LMU Tuesday, May 16, to speak on
the relationship between religion
and politics. The presentation will
take place from 7 to 9 pm in St.
Robert’s Auditorium.
Berrigan was invited to speak at
the University by Dr. William
Thompson, assistant professor of
English, who i? a personal friend of
Berrigan ’s. Berrigan came to LMU
last year, also at Thompson’s
invitation, and read some of his
poetry.

Berrigan voiced his opposition to
war, capital punishment, and abor¬
tion. Much of the poetry he recited
came from his book Prison Poems,
which he wrote while serving two
years in Danbury Prison.
Berrigan ’s early work as a Jesuit,
involved him in civil rights and
social work with Mexican- Ameri¬
cans in Colorado and Puerto Ricans
in New York.
He founded the Catholic Peace
Fellowship and the Interdenomi¬
national Clergy and Laity Con¬
cerned about the War in Vietnam.
He served as chaplain at Cornel}
University and later visited North
Vietnam, a mission which resulted
in the release of three captured
American pilots.
Berrigan gained great notoriety
for his participation in the “Catons-
ville Nine” draft board raid in
which he and eight others, inclu¬
ding his brother Philip, burned
hundreds of 1- A selective service
records to protest the Vietnam War
and the draft.
Convicted of destruction of gov¬
ernment property, Berrigan was
sentenced to three years in prison.
Since his release from prison,
Berrigan has continued his active
participation in non-violent resis¬
tance efforts by pretesting the
proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Berrigan ’s engagement is being
sponsored by the English depart¬
ment, the Political Science depart¬
ment, the Religious Studies Society
the Peace Studies Society and the
Student Development Center.
representatives take office. The
drive was initiated by students Paul
Bassett, Dawn Flores, Paul Des-
Forges and Debbie Price.
After hearing about the success
of the petition on Thursday, Rev.
John Clark, SJ, Academic vice
president, said, “The University
Council had better listen to the
voices of 600 students, though we
don’t have to do Exactly what they
say.” (On Thursday morning, al¬
most 650 students had signed.)
while claiming that he had not
expected the reinstatement of the
“F” to be accepted so quickly by
the University Council so as to be
ready for this fall, Clark claimed
that maintaining two sets of grades
(one for students already enrolled
and another for those who enroll
after the reinstatement takes ef¬
fect) would result in “utter chaos.’’
So that the student petition
would be on the agenda for the
May 18 University Council meet¬
ing, Clark has asked some of the
students involved in the petition to
meet with him on Monday, May 8.
“I’d like to me§t with them to
discuss their options,” Clark said.
“After all, the University has a
responsibility to hear them.’’
Bassett added that some of the
students involved with the petition
drive had planned to get in touch
with different graduate schools to
get their viewpoints. He also said
that the original plans called for
getting 1 ,600 signatures before
presenting the petition to the
University Council.
As of Friday afternoon. May 5,
1,100 students had signed the
petition on the Lair patio, Bassett
said. Other petitions are being
circulated in residence halls and by
fraternities, he added.
According to Bassett, “Most
students don’t realize that this
decision directly affects them and
that it appljes to returning as well
as incoming students.’’ The stu¬
dents involved with the petition
claim that a contract between the
student and the University is made
when the student first enrolls, and
that this contract cannot be altered
each year.
The petition specifically calls for
a re vote on the issue by the new
Council members because, accord¬
ing to Bassett, “The present [stu¬
dent] members were under a lot of
pressure and misunderstood the
problem.’’
