LMU alumnus Jim Cain ('62) and his wife reflect upon their enduring connection with the University
Cain (right) was recently recognized as a Golden Lion during the 50th anniversary of his graduation from LMU and looks back fondly on his time as a
Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity brother. Along with his wife Mary, Cain comes back to the bluff about 1 50 times a year to watch the sunset at the Tongva
Memorial and enjoy a quiet moment with the school and community with which their lives are entwined. To read more about the Cains, see Page 2.
Car sharing program
comes to LMU’s campus
Wheelz is an independent service
that allows students to rent out their
cars to others when not using them.

Given the sprawling metropolis of Los
Angeles, LMU students without a car are
often unable to take full advantage of all
that the city has to offer. In light of this, the
University offers services such as the Lion
Express and Zipcar to aid students without
their own cars. Now, a new program — Wheelz
— will also be available to LMU students
starting this semester.
According to their press release, Wheelz is
an independent “peer-to-peer” car sharing
service that wall be up and running on LMUs
campus in a few weeks. They are not affiliated
in any way with the University. Wheelz wants
to deliver the most trusted and hassle- free car
sharing experience for as many students as
possible.
The release also states that with Wheelz,
you can rent a car by the hour or by the day.
Cars are parked near the dorms and even off
campus, where many people live.
“The big difference is instead of renting a car
by a company, you are renting it by a student,”
said Travis Tharp, the Southern California
general manager of Wheelz. ‘The way it
works is the vehicle owner sets the price and
the schedule for when the car is available. The
average student makes between $250-450 a
month.”
The question that logically follows is, “But
what about insurance?’ The second someone
books a reservation, WTreelz is responsible

Services director departs
Executive director says that departure
has ‘no negative impact’ on Student
Employment Authorization forms.

Career Development Services (CDS), a
place to which students flock for information
and guidance on their careers both at LMU
and beyond, has lost one of its staff member's.
As of Sept. 25, Laura Weseley, director of
Student Employment Services, moved on
from her position here to accept a job directing
her own career center in Florida, according
to current CDS Executive Director John
Carvana
Whether her departure was expected or not,
Carvana said that at “some point” it was.
‘The director was a very skilled and talented
person, and in this day and age if s very hard
to keep skilled and talented people for a very
long time. . . . You hate to see talent walk out
the door, but as career professionals, that’s
what we’re here to do: Encourage people to
move on to the next step in their' career,” he
said.
Sophomore business major and CDS
student employee Allison Roth said of her
former supervisor, “Laura was an awesome
supervisor and always was trying to make
my experience as beneficial as possible while
working at CDS. Even though she doesn’t
work here anymore, everything is still pretty
much the same and running smoothly.”
Upon her recent departure, Carvana said
that things are remaining under control
and doing well. When asked about the

TRIPS SET TO
BEGIN AGAIN
De Colores trips will resume this semester "as soon as
University approval is granted," according to a letter from
Campus Ministry Director Fr. James Erps, S.J. The trips
were suspended last semester because of U.S. government
warnings against travel to Mexico.
In the letter, which was posted on LMU's website Sept. 28,
Erps also mentioned that Patrick Furlong has been hired as
the new director of the De Colores program.
While Erps' letter does not provide a concrete date for
when De Colores will resume, ASLMU President Bryan
Ruiz announced in yesterday's Senate meeting that the
De Colores program is expected to be back by the end of
October.
In a post on the De Colores facebook group, an account that
appeared to belong to senior business management major
and De Colores President Amaan Kerawala also stated that
De Colores would possibly resume by the end of October.
Kerawala added, "There could be no better news than
knowing that De Colores participants as well as myself will
be able to visit our friends in Tijuana very soon."
Kerawala sees De Colores as "an integral part of LMU
because it fulfills our campus mission statement" and
believes that the reinstitution of the program will give
students "a chance to truly value what they have learned
at LMU."
