University continues to discuss a
..proposed campus parking fee.
jBy Christopher James
.. News Intern
Students and faculty will be
charged to park on LMU premises
beginning in the spring of 2013,
according to Michael Wong,
associate vice president for
administration services. Wong
advises students to “get their car
registered right at the beginning
of the fall 2012 semester,” to avoid
the guest charges that will begin
then.
The Loyolan first reported the
University’s decision to make
students pay for parking last
semester. At the time, Senior Vice
President of Administration Lynne
Scarboro informed the community
in a University-wide email that
the fee would be implemented
in the fall of 2012. According to
the email, she also anticipated
the final parking rate to be
determined by the end of the fall
2011 semester.
The decision to charge for
parking was first made to help
finance a new parking structure
on the Seaver lot, which will add
190 more spots in addition to the

Study explores political gender gap
NEWS ANALYSIS
An LMU study finds women remain
underrepresented in politics.
By Margo Jasukaitis
Asst. News Editor
With the high profile campaigns of
both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin
leading up to the 2008 presidential
election, it would seem women are
gaining ground in their efforts to
earn equal representation in politics.
However, according to LMU political
science professor Dr. Richard Fox’s
study “Men Rule: The Continued
Under-Representation of Women
in U.S. Politics,” the gap between
the number of women in the United
States who express interest in
running for office compared to men is

just as large now as it was in 2001.
“This most recent study is the third
national survey in 12 years charting
the political ambition of men and
women,” said Fox, who co-authored
the study with Jennifer L. Lawless
from American University.
Fox and Lawless surveyed
thousands of men and women
who could be potential candidates
for political office: law partners,
business leaders, educators and
leaders of political groups. The men
and women surveyed were of equal
qualification, but substantially
fewer women reported having any
political ambition. The researchers
identified seven factors they see as
responsible for discouraging women
from pursuing political careers.
Fox identifies two of these seven
factors as primary contributors to
the gap between men and women
in political ambition. First, women
are less likely to think of themselves
as qualified to run for office. “If
you think you aren’t qualified to do
something, you won’t do it,” said Fox.
“We have to look at this psychological
phenomenon and ask if women are
socialized not to see themselves as
senators and members of Congress.”
Secondly, Fox explains that women
are far less likely to be recruited to
run for office. “Women are less likely
to have somebody suggest they run,”
said Fox. “Men and women who
are exactly equal - from the pool of
people who run for office, the kind
who go into politics often, they’re [all]
equally qualified but the [female] law

LMU reflects
on death of
staff member
Facilities Management employee
Richard Royce passes away.
By Brigette Scobas
Asst. News Editor
Richard Royce, a Facilities
Management employee since 1984,
passed away on Jan. 11 due to an
inoperable brain tumor. Royce was
60 years old.
His golf cart sits outside of the
Facilities Management building
entrance, where employees can
reflect on his presence at LMU and
the friendships they shared with
him. Those in Facilities Management
knew him as “Popeye” and “Richard
the Lion-Hearted.”
Off campus, Royce was a Raiders fan
and golfer. On campus, Royce began
as a carpenter and then transitioned
into the position of multi-craftsman,
where he primarily worked in the
Student Housing department.
According to Rick Harris, the
director of Building Management,
Royce would come in whenever the
housing department needed him.
“He was the type that would get a
call in the middle of the night [and]
... was definitely our go-to guy for
any after-hour emergencies,” said
Harris.
In the Student Housing department,
part of his job was to turn over rooms
after the students moved out and
order all of the supplies needed to fix
the dorm rooms. “He had a system
that he was very proud of because it’s
a tremendous amount of work to turn
the rooms over,” said Harris.
“He was skilled at his craft so you
trusted his direction. You trusted his
opinion. He was always more than
willing to do what he had to do,” said
A1 Tipon, the director of Facilities
Management who had known Royce
since he first started working at
LMU.
Tipon said, “He was an LMU Lion.
He was here for 27 years and it’s hard
for a staff member not to be a Lion.
We refer to students [as Lions], but
there are also staff members that
