Has LMU been following the correct
procedures in its evaluation of elective
abortion coverage? That question was
the main concern of the Faculty Senate
meeting held on Friday in Von der Ahe
Family Suite.
The meeting aimed to cover three
objectives: to answer questions about
the potential change in health benefits,
listen to concerns from faculty and
staff and gather suggestions about
how to bring the community together
once the board makes its final decision,
according to Faculty Senate President
Jennifer Pate, an associate professor
of economics and the chair of the
economics department. However,
the meeting only covered answering
questions and listening to concerns.
“There is still a fair number of people
who are hoping that the Board will not
reaffirm the decision,” Pate said. “They
don’t want to think about what it would
take to bring our community together,
because that would mean that the
decision had already been made.”
About 100 faculty and staff members
filled Von der Ahe Family Suite, most
of whom came with questions and
concerns. Many of these questions
and concerns surrounded skepticism
about the process by which the Board
of Trustees will come to the decision.

phones to iPods to flash drives.

Buy a bike, help a Tijuana family
in need. That’s what students can do
at the De Colores bike auction and
rummage sale during Convo on Sept.
24.
Campus Ministry, Public Safety
and the LMU Bike Club have joined
together to sponsor this auction.
According to Department of
Public Safety (DPS) Chief Hampton
Cantrell, the amount of abandoned
belongings that Public Safety
collects at the end of each year is a
predicament, and the bike auction is
a fitting solution.
“LMU has a large problem with
abandoned bicycles at the end of
each academic year - an average of
50 per year,” Cantrell said. “Campus
Ministry has been a big help in selling
the bikes to those who need them. We
are grateful for their assistance.”
Patrick Furlong, minister of faith
and justice at Campus Ministry,
explained that Campus Ministry and
Public Safety have been partnering
together to organize the bike auction
for over 10 years. However, this is
the first year the LMU Bike Club is
also involved.
“It’s the dream collaboration,”
Furlong said. “The Bike Club is
getting their name out there, and
they’re also making the bikes better
so more people are encouraged to
have a bike culture around campus.”
Robert Watchmaker, a sophomore
marketing major and president of
the LMU Bike Club, said the auction
and sale are a win-win for students.
“For the auction, the Bike Club
is doing basic repairs on bikes that
have been collected by DPS. We are
hoping that these bikes will be much
safer to ride and that more of the
student body can use bikes around
campus,” Watchmaker said. “We
think students should participate
in the auction because it raises
awareness about De Colores’ goals
and ideologies, as well as providing a
cheap way for students to get around
the Westchester community.”
Already have a bike? There may
still be something in the rummage
sale that interests you.
