Student
workers
active on
campus
Student workers share their
experience and what they have
learned from the program.

Even though LMU’s Student Worker
Program will enter its 57th year on
campus in 2014, some may not know of its
existence.
J.J. Galvez, a senior economics and
entrepreneurship double major, said that
the reason the LMU community doesn’t
know about the Student Worker Program
is precisely because of the term “student
worker.”
“I think the biggest misconception
might be that people confuse us with any
other student worker on campus because
of our name,” said Galvez. “You think
‘student worker’ and you could think, ‘Oh
yeah, I’m a student worker too. I work at
the front desk or whatever.’ So I think when
a lot of people hear the name they don’t
distinguish it as a program.”
The program consists of 24 students
who work year-round for the University
in order to pay tuition and attend LMU.
According to Juliana Cadena, a senior
communication studies major, the work
that student workers are assigned to ranges
from sorting materials in the recycling yard
to setting up for university events.
“We work the Wine Classic every
year,” said Cadena. “We also set up [for
commencement]. It’s a lot of stuff you

LMU sees increase in
ambulance transports
The number of ambulance
transports is atypical for this
time of the year.

The last few weeks of the fall semester
have been full of events, including Charity
Ball and other formals hosted by service
and Greek organizations. During this busy
time of year, there has been an increase in
medical transports on campus. According
to Department of Public Safety (DPS) Chief
Hampton Cantrell, there were at least four
transports on the weekend of Nov. 15.
“For this time of year, it is unusual to have
that many transports,” said Cantrell.
Medical transports can be due to alcohol
and drug-related incidents, but also because
of standard medical emergencies. However,
that same weekend, LAPD was involved with
two transports, according to Cantrell.
“Generally, LAPD is called if there may
be the possibility of some violence or a
crime committed, or even a psychological
emergency,” said Cantrell.
Cantrell and DPS' manager of
investigations, Captain Christina Martin,
both maintained that no single organization
can be faulted. When asked why transports
have been more frequent, Cantrell stated
that he is “not entirely sure,” saying that
midterms “may be a factor.”
Assistant Director of Student Leadership
and Development (SLD) and Greek Adviser
Dan Faill similarly referenced the short
amount of time allotted for these events.
“I think it feels like finals is a week earlier,”
said Faill. “Because University policy says
that you can’t do anything in the evening
starting the Friday before finals, I think that
shifted a lot of people’s calendars.”
While Faill stated that the crunched
schedule was more of a “burden on the
institution,” the Greek community worked
closely with Public Safety in order to cover
all of the events. In addition, Greek Life
has been working on dealing with alcohol -
related issues for seven years, according to
FaiU.
“They’ve been doing a really good job, to
their credit, with dealing with their guests,”
said Martin.
Faill emphasized the importance of
handling these issues within the context
of safety, and accredited much of their
success in dealing with these issues to a good
relationship and understanding with DPS.
DPS has “been responsive to our needs and
requests and have been an amazing partner
over the past several years to educate and
empower our organizations to hold their
members more accountable,” said Faill.
