OPINION:

The American government believes the Chinese government could wield TikTok for espionage or blackmail purposes or to advance its geopolitical interests by sowing discord and disinformation during a crisis.

While this is possible, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true and nor does it validate the removal of an app that has everything to do with our freedom of speech. Congress restricting speech based on its content or point of view endangers the First Amendment rights of every American to speak and receive information online.

Outside of Sacred Heart Chapel on Wednesday, Jan. 15, Campus Ministry organized a prayer vigil for those affected by the numerous wildfires raging in Los Angeles. Members of the LMU community came together in prayer to find collective healing and unity following the disaster. Prayers were given by different faith denominations showcasing unity within the LA community during the disaster.

“The road to recovery will be long for people who have lost so much, not just homes filled with memories, but also vibrant communities, places of worship, places of education and places of business. However, I am confident that our city will emerge — even rise — from this upheaval, stronger and more resilient together.” said Timothy Law Snyder, Ph.D., president of LMU in his speech to the crowd.

BLUFF: Nobody said staying true to your New Year’s resolutions was easy. You know what is easy though? Letting someone else do your resolution for you. It’s a win-win. You succeed with your goal by doing absolutely nothing while someone else works hard to improve their person.

Senior students and members of the greater LMU community have expressed discontent following the location announcement of the 113th Commencement at BMO Stadium in downtown Los Angeles, including the conglomeration of undergraduate, graduate and Loyola Law School ceremonies, which the University announced on Dec. 3, 2024. Some students have initiated petitions in response, voicing top concerns that include preserving tradition, coordinating transportation and walking during the ceremony.

“I feel like when LMU makes a decision, they have a very stick-to-itiveness and I'm not sure if it will change, but I do think if there is enough uproar from the student body that they will do something. I don't know what, but I think that they like to keep us happy,” explained Jules Sica, a senior art history major who created the petition, “Bring LMU Graduation Ceremonies Back On-Campus.”
