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 Interviews Begin
By JOE O’HANNIGAN,
News Writer
The growing number of seniors
sporting suits and briefcases
signifies the return of corporate
recruiters to LMU. 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. Two

These senators represent the freshman
class and transfer students. In its selec¬
tion process, ASLMU required prospec¬
tive candidates to fill out applications
and to be interviewed by members of
ASLMU.
Having been selected, these senators
will serve the senate for one year and will
have an opportunity to run for their of¬
fices again next year during student
body general elections. These elections
are held every spring.

reports listing statistics about
recent crimes occurring on campus
will no longer be posted for students to
examine.
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.” ■
