Florer throws
no-hitter
SPORTS FEATURE
LMU pitcher Matt Florer
threw the program’s second
no -hitter ever on Tuesday.
By Dan Raffety
Managing Editor
Senior pitcher Matt Florer defines
what it means to be a leader. Not only
did the left-handed pitcher throw the
second no-hitter in LMU history on
Tuesday against CSU Northridge
(CSUN) in a 5-0 Lion victory, but
his enthusiastic and passionate
personality has been a catalyst for
the club all season and throughout
his career.
Florer’s coaches have used him
minimally this season, typically in
relief efforts, and when he did start,
it was in a “committee by relief’
situation in which he would throw
two innings to begin the game before
handing the ball over to the bullpen.
Simply put, although a great guy in
the clubhouse, Florer did not receive
much time on the mound.
The trend was set to continue in
yesterday’s ballgame against the
Matadors with Florer getting the
start, expected to pitch through a few

Undies Run phenomenon comes to LMU
LMU Confessions is sponsoring
the first LMU Undies Run after
receiving five requests on its page.

Asst. News Editor
On your mark, get set, take off your
clothes! While these may not be the
words chanted on Wednesday, May 1 at
10 p.m. at Regents Terrace, that they
will be the rules of the game at LMU’s
first Undies Run, hosted by the popular
Facebook page LMU Confessions.
Students will arrive wearing as
many or as few layers as they choose
to take part in the run to U-Hall. The
two anonymous sophomore female
administrators of LMU Confessions
say that whatever clothes students
choose to wear should be appropriate
for donating to charity.
Upon arrival, LMU Confessions told
Construction of science
building starts in summer
Hannon Field will be used to
store equipment next Tall while
a new science building is built.

Asst. News Editor
One part of the LMU Master Plan
will begin to bear fruit beginning
in May 2013. A new life sciences
building, summarized in the Master
Plan, is set to be completed by the
summer of 2015.
Construction for the new building
will involve Hannon Field, Seaver
Hall parking lot and the front of
Pereira Hall.
The building’s construction will
span from the Seaver Hall parking
lot to what is currently the road
between Seaver and Pereira. To
compensate for a closing street, a
fence has been built on the west side
of Pereira Hall to make the front of
Pereira a temporary road.
Hannon Field will also be used
in the construction process. Tim
Haworth, interim vice president
of Facilities Management, told the
Loyolan that he estimated 27,000
square feet of Hannon Field will be
used.
“Some materials will be dropped on
the site, but since the site is so small
for construction you have to have an
additional area to handle it,” said
Haworth.
An email sent to students living in
Hannon Apartments, McKay Hall and
Tenderich Apartments for the 2013-
14 academic year informed them that
Hannon Field would be utilized for
said construction in the coming term.
The messaged stated, “If you are

the Loyolan, students will remove
their layers, which will be collected
for donation. Then, according to
Confessions, a mad dash to U-Hall will
ensue, and students will disperse from
there.
The rules of this run are limited in
that students are told to wear “as-
appropriate-as-you-can” underwear
and donation-worthy clothes on top,
according to LMU Confessions.
However, sophomore theatre arts
major Heather Gottlieb, said that
she plans to run in her birthday suit.
Trevor Megill, a sophomore accounting
major, said he likes Gottlieb’s idea but
that he may spice it up a bit by donning
a cheetah thong.
While the undies run may seem
like a chance for students to let it all
hang out, it actually is an event held
across the world with different names,
in honor of a good cause. This year in
