INSIDE THIS ISSUE Los Angeles Loyolan Loyola Marymount University Volume 63 Issue 6 October 7, 1985 Freshmen Capture Purse Snatcher By ROBERT SANREGRET, Managing Editor Retaining home from crew practice four LMU freshman spotted and apprehended a fast fleeing purse snat¬ cher. Driving left off Lincoln onto 83rd, last Thursday, Mike Butier, Dave Younkin, Paul Fanning and Paul Feit noticed something a little out of the or¬ dinary. There was a man sprinting along the sidewalk, closely chased by another. “I saw him running with seemed to be an envelope full pf йюнеу “stated Dave Younkin. The envelope was, in fact, a white purse. To keep himself from being captured, the man being chased threw the purse up in the air over his head. The pursurer stopped, giving the snatcher a chance to make a break, and he did. After a short discussion the freshman foursome decided that they should follow the man running away from the scene. Mike Butier whipped his car around the corner in an attempt to block the path of the would-be criminal. Un¬ fortunately, Butier’s driving did not completely stop the man but did cause him to make a detour down a smaller al¬ ly. All four of the LMU freshmen jumped out of the car and took off after the man on foot. They were able to catch the man and had him pinned down on the ground within 100 yards. The whole neighborhood seemed to be getting in on the excitement. As the freshman four passed an elderly woman watering her lawn she yelled “Get em boys, get that guy!” While the team held the man on the ground, two other citizens called the police. The restrained man knew he was caught and fegretfully said, “Okay you got me, you got me.” A new man approched the freshmen crime busters and offered to take the fatigued criminal away. When asked why they did not pursue any further. Mike Butier said, “It seem¬ ed to me that the guy who led the tired man away had control over the situation. He must have lost hold because the purse snatcher started runn¬ ing again.” Seeing the escape, Paul Fanning ran and stopped the purse snatcher once again. The other three joined him, con¬ tent not to let the alleged criminal get away again. Feit held the man’s legs down while Younkin put his knee on his arm. While on the ground the individual attempted to persuade his captors into releasing him by saying “You got the wrong guy, man.” Fortunately, they had the right per¬ son. Conformation of this fact was made by the lady who owned the purse. Along with many other members of the Westchester community she thanked the “boys” for their efforts and care.

Career Placement Services launched this three-month period of interviewing with an orienta¬ tion workshop on October 1. Workshop coordinator Mary Carlton focused on the sign4ip process for the upcoming interviews which, put simply, requires Seniors to “sign-up to sign-up.” By going to the Placement Office (Malone 301) two weeks before the company one is interested in meeting is scheduled to hold interviews, one can reserve an interview time. The only re¬ quirements for the preliminary appoint¬ ment with Placement Services are that students bring fifteen copies of a com¬ pleted resume and, once granted a com¬ pany interview slot, that they remember to keep the appointment. (Except for emergencies , with failure to notify the Placement Office that one is unable to Heep a scheduled interview you will not be allowed to interview other com¬ panies.) Seniors can sign up each week for different companies and can even re¬ quest to be placed on waiting lists if they missed the initial sign-ups for a par¬ ticular company. Carlton also offered interview tips. Researching the company one plans to meet demonstrates one’s interest and prepares one for questions the inter¬ viewer may pose. The Placement Office has resources like company brochures, job descriptions, and briefs describing the types of people particular forms are interested in. Placement Services will also call companies to order information from them for interested students. The actual interveiws are held in four rooms in Malone and begin promptly at 8:45 a.m. Carlton suggested that students with early appointments arrive by 8:30 a.m., adding that proper dress for the interviews is coat and tie for men, and suits, preferably, for women. Wearing strong perfumes is discourag¬ ed, because the ventilation in the in- terveiw rooms is poor. Anything a ner¬ vous interviewee would be tempted to play with, like bracelets or dangling ear¬ rings, should be left home. After the 30 minute session, company representatives and students critique each other’s performances on forms provided by the Placement Office.

Last year, under the leadership A of director Harry Hueston, Public Safety issued a crime report “every few weeks,” Charles Boyd, acting director of Public Safety, said last Wednesday. However, Boyd added, “Father Loughran, and Vice-President [for Ad¬ ministrative Services] Clyde Meyers” re¬ quested that the crime reports no longer be issued. Meyers confirmed that, in fact, “Father Loughran does not want the reports around.” ■
