As the Sacred Heart Chapel overflowed
with students, faculty, professors and
community members, President Timothy
Law Snyder spoke on behalf of the state of
the University and focused on the general
theme of out-of-body experiences, while
correlating these ideals with diversity at
his convocation address. It took place on
Tuesday, Oct. 18 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30
p.m. in the chapel.
Out-of-body experiences, in the spirit of
Magis, is a core principle of the Jesuit ideals
and the theme that President Snyder used to
represent LMU’s campus, community and
students during his address.
The mission that Snyder presented fixated
on Jesuit traditions that try to influence us to
move where culture and experiences are, and
to do so while moving forward as individuals.
“We need to get out of our bodies and off of
the Bluff to become successful,” Snyder said.
Snyder made use of the hour by devoting
time to talk about his strategic plan and how
he hopes to accomplish his goals for the
University.
“I want to challenge LMU to become the
definitive center for global imagination,”
Synder said.
Snyder stated the pathways that deal with
his idea of global imagination: an expanding
global footprint, creative pathways and
human future in the real world.
These pathways are consistent with
the University’s mission of encouraging
learning, service, faith and the promotion of
justice.
Throughout his address, Snyder recognized
all of the students, faculty and staff who have
helped him settle as LMU’s president for
the past 17 months. Since Snyder took over
as president, there has been an increase in
success and recognition on campus.
LMU has globally expanded its apphcation
pool through the number of applicants, SAT
scores and GPAs. It has also been awarded
recognition from Wall Street Journal as being
the No. 1 Jesuit University in West. LMU
received applicants from every U.S. state and
continues to devote itself to philanthropy,
expanding its mission statement and staying

Streets outside the back
gates of LMU have become
permit parking only.

Streets outside the back gates of LMU have
become permit parking only, causing a clash
between students, non-LMU residents,
faculty and the city.
As the new school year began, new signs
detailing a preferential parking permit system
lined Regis Way, just outside LMU's back
gates.
The newly permitted area is one of many now
switching over. According to Coby Wagman,
director of Parking and Transportation at
LMU, three streets outside of LMU’s back
gates have adopted a preferential permit
system. This change, Wagman explained, is
a response to neighbors’ requests, and a right
given to them by LMU’s Master Plan.
The Master Plan is a 20 -year plan instituted
by LMU and the city of Los Angeles. The plan
considers the impact the University has on its
surrounding neighborhood, and residential
parking is a part of this plan .
Meeting notes from the Neighborhood
Advisory Committee detail how streets will
adopt the preferential permit system. The
minutes state, “Once the district is formed,
individual residential blocks will have the
opportunity to adopt preferential parking for
their street.”
Mike Bonin, city councilman for the 11th
district of Los Angeles, which includes
the Westchester community, helped to
head the move to preferential parking
streets. A representative from his office,
Communications Director David Graham -
Caso, told the Loyolan that residents must
reach out to the office or the neighborhood
council to request permitted parking.
Graham -Caso also explained that residents
of the street must get signatures from other
residents and two-thirds support from
property owners to make a new preferential
parking district.

‘Breaking the silence’ on violence one voice at a time
On-campus organizations have
come together to shine a light
on domestic violence.

Belles service organization, Alpha Chi
Omega and AS LMU are using October to
raise awareness about domestic violence and
have various events planned throughout the
month.
Domestic Violence Awareness Month is
dedicated to raising awareness of domestic
abuse, unhealthy relationships and sexual
assault. Various organizations set up
different activities over the past two weeks to
educate LMU students on issues surrounding
domestic violence.
On Oct. 4, Belles and Alpha Chi Omega
held a self defense class led by Nelson Nio
from SHIELD Women’s Self Defense in St.
Robert’s Auditorium. “The Children Next
Door” — a documentary about a family’s
journey with domestic violence — was
screened and presented by Belles and
ASLMU on Oct. 10.
Alpha Chi Omega set up a visual
representation on Regents Terrace on Oct.
5 that consisted of 100 chairs with purple
balloons attached to every fourth chair,
which signifies the statistic that one in four
women will experience domestic abuse at
one point in their lives. On Nov. 6, Alpha Chi
Omega will host their philanthropy event,
Donut Dash, where all proceeds will go to
Alexandria House — a transitional home that
helps women and children who have been
victims of domestic abuse in Downtown Los
Angeles.
“Domestic Violence Awareness Month
is extremely important [...] we get to share
that passion and raise awareness among
