University Acquires Summa Acreage
By LAURA TRACY LAISON
Loyolan Staff Writer
During the summer, Loyola Mary¬
mount University acquired 28
acres of land adjacent to the university
on the west side of the Hughes Aircraft
Company. Currently, final prepara¬
tions for the property transfer is in
escrow.
LMU first tried to obtain the land
through the legal steps of eminent do-
Inter-Club Council Meets
main from the Summa Corporation.
Under this proceeding, state laws allow
for non-profit educational institutions
to annex any adjacent land which they
believe to be nece#ssary for proper func¬
tioning of the university. Summa then
sold the acreage to Hughes on the con¬
tractual grounds that Hughes settle pro¬
perty negotiations with LMU.
“The acquisition not only enlarges
the campus by almost 30 percent, but
also gives it the natural boundaries and
Allocation Explained
By KRIS GIANNINI

Some of the best organizational
minds on campus gathered last
Thursday, to discuss student life and
activities at LMU.
The Inter-Club Council, made up of
representatives from all clubs and
organizations, was officially recognized
by ASLM vice president, Chris Silva,
who described them as, “the group that
makes things happen.”
As the Director of Student Affairs, it
is his job to coordinate monthly
meetings, keeping the lines of com¬
munication open between student
government and organizations which
serve the students.
Because the council is held in a forum
situation, all clubs are reminded to get
in touch with either Silva or Tom
Reynolds, the committee’s moderator,
if they wish to be placed on the agenda.
A big issue at Thursday’s meeting
was the new policy penalizing groups
that fail to attend these sessions. If, for
example, a club was not represented on
the 15th, a 15-day hold would be put
upon their account. Should they fail to
appear next month, a 30-day hold
would go into effect. The clubs failing
to attend would be privately notified of
the hold. Silva reminded everyone that
any club member can act as an official
representative.
The main agenda item was how to
receive Budget Ballot funds. In order to
withdraw money, a requisition must be
filled out and a detailed account of ex¬
penditures must be reported. In order
to be valid, a requisition must have all
necessary signatures on it before ‘it can
be turned into the Business Office.
The dates to remember for clubs who
wish to remain funded are: October 13,
November 17 and December 8.
Meetings are at 11:00 a.m. on
Thursdays in Seaver 100 and are man¬
datory for all presidents or represen¬
tatives. Any interested club members
are invited to attend. ■
completeness it has lacked since its 1929
founding,” stated LMU’s Board of
Trustees Chairman Richard A. Archer.
“It will provide much needed living,
instructional and recreational space for
LMU’s current undergraduate student
body. LMU does not, however, intend
to increase enrollment as a result of
securing this additional acreage,” he
added.
According to Bill Wilson, director of
facilities planning and construction, if
all goes well in escrow, construction
will get under way in 1985. Final land
preparations prior to any construction
will then be left to the discretion of an
archeologist who will research the
history of the land.
Rumors have been spread through¬
out the university that the 28 acres were
part of an ancient Indian burial
ground. Dr. Van Horn, the ar¬
cheologist hired by Hughes, was to
determine if the acreage was indeed an
archeological find, and if so, what
should then be done.
However, the archeological finds
made thus far have given indications
that the area was a living domain and
not a burial ground.
The eventual campus addition is to
include the construction of a Conrad N.
Hilton Business Administration center,
student housing that will accomodate
approximately 1,000 students, faculty
housing, as well as parking areas and
playing fields. The addition will also
create a new entrance route into the
campus.
The architectural firm of Albert C.
Martin and Associates is currently
preparing plans for the property’s
development. It is the university’s con¬
cern that the master plan is compatible
with the residents and the surrounding
community of Westchester. ■
