After fifteen years of ad¬ ministrative service to Mary¬ mount Palos Verdes College and LMU, Harrangue has decided that it is time to return to the classroom. She attended Catholic Univer¬ sity where she received an MA in Experimental Physiological Psychology in 1961. In 1965, she received her Doctorate in Counseling Psychology. Har¬ rangue became the Academic Dean of Marymount College in 1966. In that same year, talks began concerning a merger bet¬ ween the two schools, and in 1968 Marymount moved to the Loyola campus where it remain¬ ed affiliated with Loyola for the next five years. The transition period that culminated in Loyola Mary¬ mount University in 1973 was a difficult time for everyone. Har¬ rangue said there was worry that the women would be over looked both in programs and special traditions, but under the leadership of Fr. Merrifield and his staff, successful and equitable results were achieved. It was decided that a position was needed to provide leader¬ ship for women and preserve Marymount’s traditions, as well as serving as an advisor to the President on women’s issues and concerns. The office of Pro¬ vost was created and Harrangue was chosen from a field of nominees. Since its conception, the area of responsibility for the Provost has considerabiy increased. Harrangue not only represented Marymount’s point of view and interests to the university but was also responsible for the Women’s Center, Kappa Gamma Pi (the National Catholic Women's Society), and Com¬ mencement Exercises. She is also on the Board of Regents and the University Relations Committee. No replacement has been selected, although Harrangue hopes the process of choosing a new Provost will soon get under way. “I think if would be good and would make the transition easier if I could work with the new Provost for a while.” The President will propose a nominee from a selection list made by the Sisters who are members fo the Board of Trustees. The Provost may, or may not be a member of the Board. “No one should really stay more than ten years in ministrative service to permit new blood and new ideas to have a chance,” said Sr. Renee. “I feel that things are going otherwise I wouldn’t consider leaving. I enjoy people and I feel it’s time for a more direct con¬ tact with the students.” Sr. Harrangue said that during her sabbatical she wanted to be off campus, but not far away. “I want to give the new Provost room to breathe and to create and I need the room to study and re-create my ideas.” Commenting on the role of women In the University Ad¬ ministration, Harrangue feels many women and minorities are discouraged and leave. “There is no attempt made to keep them,” she said. “Some departments have never had a woman or minority on the staff. I have had great struggles over the women’s sports program and University publications. They tend to forget the women are here. Many people by just reading the publications or look¬ ing at them would think this is an all male school. There are still some areas that need a great deal of work.” Harrangue said her resigna¬ tion would not preclude her from working in an administrative position in the future, but pro¬ bably only concentrating on academics and department committees. Sr. Harrangue stated, “I feel the office of Pro¬ vost is well and strong and I have enjoyed working for Fr. Merrifield and LMU.” A bomb scare last Thursday forced the sealing of the Communication Arts building and temporary closure of the Charles Von der Ahe Library. Fr.

Bomb scare in CA Building closes Library for two hours by JenyWenker and Greg Fisher A bomb threat to the Com¬ munication Arts building on Thursday night forced the seal¬ ing of the center and temporary closure of the Charles Von der Ahe library. LMU Security closed off the area after receiving a telephone call at 5:11 pm, reportedly from a man with a Middle Eastern accent who said he was allied with a Palestine organization. According to LMU’s security communications operator, An¬ dre Gumbs, “He (the man) called and said a bomb would go off in the CA building a 8 pm. The man called because he said he didn’t want anyone to get hurt.” The caller informed Gumbs that a list of demands would be presented to Los Angeles Police Chief, Daryl Gates’ office at 8:30 pm. KNXT received a call at 5:25 pm allegedly from the same in¬ dividual, along with KNBC and KABC recording calls before 5:30 pm also. Ken Nelson, direc¬ tor of news operations at KABC, received a call from “somebody who identified himself as from Palestine. We checked with the Venice bureau of the LAPD and then palled LMU,” Nelson said. The LAPD arrived shortly thereafter and proceded to survey the building, escorted by Fr. Callahan, S.J., chairman of the Communication Arts depart¬ ment. Callahan then decided to clear the building and at 7 pm the library was closed and evacuated for safety concerns. According to LAPD Sergeant Mike Nichol, the standard response to bomb threats depends on the nature of the call and location; The police search for the bomb and call the bomb squad if necessary. Asked how easy it would be to find a bomb, Nichol said, “It would be impossible for me to detect a bomb.” The communications office of the LAPD downtown reported receiving no demands nor calls concerning the incident. The LAPD communications depart¬ ment was not aware of the situa¬ tion. Gene Scott, assistant director of LMU Security, decided to keep the Communication Arts building closed Thursday night. However, the library was permit¬ ted to maintain its hours after the two hour interruption. “It’s better to be safe than sorry,” said Scott. “We will keep CA locked for tonight. We still can’t say whether it was a prank or not. We can assume, but there is no way of knowing.” As a result of the bomb scare, Beginning Television (CA 240) and ASLM’s movie of the week, Fiddler oh the Roof were cancelled. LMU has been plagued with bomb threats before, usually in¬ volving dormitories. According to Ronald Vito, LMU Security of¬ ficer, “this threat was entirely different from Desmond bomb threats. The fact that so many television stations were called also substantiated the claim,” he said. Scott has survived bomb scares before at Loyola. “You go through a building or a room and each time you do, you keep pray¬ ing it is a hoax,” he said. “You don’t know, but you gotta do it,” Sr. Renee Harrangue, RS1M, has elected to resign from her post as Univer- Jeanne Vanderfin reports on the women’s volleyball opener in which the Lions lost in a close match to a sity Provost.
