Cable Coming to Campus

TV: Two major cable
providers vie for LMU
contract. Installation to
be completed by August,
1999.

For students living in on-
campus housing, a definite
drawback has always been
leaving behind “Baseball
Tonight” on ESPN, “Headline
News” on CNN and “Loveline”
on MTV. LMU students have
grappled with poor reception
and the limited choice of net¬
work channels when they want
to watch television in their res¬
idence halls and on-campus
apartments. All that will
rapidly change in the face of
this week's announcement that
cable will be installed on cam¬
pus by the end of August 1999,
according to Daniel Forgenon,
executive director for business
affairs.
“We will definitely have
cable on campus next year,”
Forgenon said. “We are cur¬
rently considering bids
between two vendors, [and are
in the] final stages of negotia¬
tions over bids. We should
receive the final bids by Friday

Currently, students are only able to watch VHF channels, however, with the
installation of cable, on-campus viewers will have a wider selection f
and will make a selection over
the next week or so.”
The two cable companies
engaged in the final bidding
process are Televideo and
Allied Communications, Inc.
Forgenon noted that “Campus
Televideo provides cable to
between 90 and 95 college cam¬
puses, [while] Allied
Communications, Inc. has done
work for Turner Broadcasting,
and several large apartment
complex firms.”
In response to student ques¬
tions regarding channel selec¬
tions at Dr. Lane Bove’s open
mic forum last semester,
Forgenon said, “At the present
time there are no plans to pro-

Members of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary at the celebratory mass honoring their founder on Monday,
Jan. 22 in Sacred Heart Chapel. Over 150 people attended the mass and reception.
by Sean Chavel
Asst. : Sports Editor
This past Monday at 5:00 p.m. ,
approximately 150 people gath¬
ered in Sacred Heart Chapel to
honor the Marymount tradition
in education at LMU. University
President Rev. Thomas P.
O’Malley, S.J., presided over the
commemorative mass of the
150th anniversary of the found¬
ing of the Religious of the Sacred
Heart of Mary (RSHM), a com¬
munity of women religious found¬
ed by Fr. John Gailhac and
Madame St. John Cure-Pelisser,
dedicated to the development of
knowledge and piety through
Catholic education.
The RSHM community
includes approximately 110
women religious in the California
and Mexico, seven of whom are
affiliated with LMU. They
include Sr. Frances Gussenhoven,
Sr. Sara Renehan, Sr. Collete
McManus, Sr. Genevieve
Underwood, Sr. Yvonne Rushton,
Sr. Perpetua Ledwidge, and Sr.
Peg Dolan.
“It was such a delight to see so
many administrators, faculty and
staff present, to pray and cele¬
brate with us. It was very
encouraging and supportive,”
said Dolan, who serves as alumni
chaplain and resident chaplain of
McCarthy.
The Mass commemorating the
RSHM order’s founding has
become a yearly event. In 1994,
O’Malley suggested a yearly cele¬
bration of the RSHM community,
and commemorative mass has
been held ever since. O’Malley’s
homily focused on how Gailhac’s
founding of the order brought his
goodness and philanthropy to the
rest of the world.
“I thought that Fr. Tom
O’Malley gave a really wonderful
contextualization of Fr. John
Gailhac’s life in terms of the back-
.. ground of 19th century France
and its politics, as well as the
