Senior Remembrances
Like the setting sun, seniors of LMU slowly
pass over the horizon; we take this oppor¬
tunity to gaze at a few of their reflections on
life — their spiritual, physical and mental
development — as they have experienced it
in the Loyola Marymount community. See
the story of the bluff dwellers on page 10.

Construction begins on Burns Fine Arts Center
By DENISE M. O’BRIEN
Loyolan Staff Writer
■fter years of planning, the con¬
struction of the Fritz B. Burns
Fine Arts Center has finally commenc¬
ed. The symbolic groundbreaking
ceremony took place at noon this past
Thursday, May 5, on what has been
previously known as McKay Field*
The important event officially mark¬
ed the beginning of construction for the
Fine Arts Center. Bulldozers working
only 100-feet away, where orange stakes
outlined the perimeter of the new struc¬
ture, began to dig the first trench for
the underground piping systems.
The LMU Women’s Chorus was pre¬
sent to sing both the “National An¬
them” and a closing hymn.

Campus Security problems ,
concerns aired by Hueston
By CHRIS KRAUSE

■umbers of students at Loyola
Marymount recently have had
their cars towed away by security
because they were improperly parked.
In what appeared to be a unusual
rash of towing incidents, Harry
Hueston, director of the department of
security, was asked to comment on the
occurances.
“There has been no increase or
decrease in towing over what is being
consistanly done. Every car parked im¬
properly will be towed. We have set
reasonable expectations and have had
these circulated as well as possible,”
Hueston said.
The suspected increase in towing was
due to the number of security officers
on certain shifts. The more officers
there were, the better was the inforce-
ment of parking regulations.
“We’re dealing with the reality of
what is going on here. I may have three
or four officers on duty, sometimes on¬
ly one. Manpower is the issue. When
there is very little manpower, that of¬
ficer must be everywhere,” Hueston
said.
Hueston stated that security is not
there to be a towing service. If the
owners just plan on parking temporari¬
ly, they should turn on their signal
flashers, or call security and let them
know and they will not tow the car.
“Where do you draw the line? It is a
matter of the individual accepting the
responsibility, and there is a degree of
responsibility on the student’s part,”
Hueston said.
The typical situation would be if an
officer spots a car illegally parked,
especially in a fire zone, he will check to
see if the owner has called in to the
security office to notify them. If no one
has, he will continue his rounds and
return anywhere from 30 to 40 minutes.
Then he will issue a citation and have a
towing company called.
The towing service usually will arrive
in 10 to 15 minutes, and can have the*

tended the ceremony. As illustrated by
University President Rev. Donald P.
Merrifield, S.J., ceremony attendees in¬
cluded William Hannon, representing
the Fritz B. Burns Foundation, and
faculty members of the Fine Arts
Department.
“This celebration symbolizes the start
of the construction of the Fritz Burns
Fine Arts Center and here is seen our
deep and abiding commitment to ex¬
cellence which the University makes to
all students' and to all of the
disciplines,” Merrifield stated.
“The Fritz Burns Fine Arts Center
will provide a beautiful and functional
academic home for all of the arts,... But
it will do much more, for the presence
of this Fine Arts Center on the campus
will serve to encourage students from
every academic discipline to develop
their awarenesss and their enjoyment of
the arts,” he added.
University Provost, Sr. Joan Treacy,
R.S.H.M., as representing the Univer¬
sity, followed Merrifield and his ad¬
dress of welcome.
“After seeing the Fine Arts [Depart¬
ment] stashed away at the furthest end
of the campus, we can now rejoice that,
finally, a beautiful new building, which
by its very design speaks of the value
we’ve placed in the Arts, will have its
rightful place at the very heart of cam¬
pus,” said Treacy.
The center will include a recital hall,
art gallery and central courtyard for use
in exhibits and indoor /outdoor con¬
certs.
According to Merrifield, the center
will provide an outreach into the com¬
munity. “This unique and multifunc¬
tional new facilty will serve a myriad
