Trojans outmuscle UCLA and head for Rose Bowl

When asked after the game if he knew USC would beat UCLA Saturday, nine-year-old Chris Robinson, son of Trojan Coach John, earnestly said yes.
Why?
“I went to a couple of practices and I thought they were good,” the big-eyed youngster said.
And his reasoning, in hind-sight, was as credible as any of the experts’, most of whom picked UCLA to win. But USC’s dominating 24-14 victory broke a 14-game Bruin unbeaten string in front of 90,519 fans.
After the game UCLA accepted a trip to the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 20 against Alabama, while the Trojans won a trip back “home” to Pasadena on New Year’s Day to play Michigan.
“We’re back where we belong,” Robinson said after receiving a bouquet of roses from members of the Rose Bowl committee.
“UCLA is certainly one ofthe great teams, but we never really let UCLA have a smell until most of the game was finished,” Robinson said. “We wore them down.”
Ricky Bell made his comeback Saturday, and although he admitted his left ankle was sore, looked like the Ricky Bell of old. He carried 36 times for 167 yards and a 4.6 average. Bell also caught one pass for 18 yards.
When asked if he was surprised that the UCLA defense didn’t stack against the run, Bell said, “Not really, you kill me and somebody else is gonna hurt you like (quarter-

3 resign from campus
life, recreation office Daily

Two administrators in the Office of Campus Life and Recreation have resigned in the last three weeks, and a third is leaving early in December.
A search is underway to find a replacement for James Gross, former director of the Norman Topping Student Activities Center, who resigned Nov. 5.
The resignation of Trevor Paulson, former assistant director of campus life and recreation, takes effect today, said James Dennis, the director.
Cathy Brown, program coordinator for the office, announced her resignation, which is effective Dec. 8.
Paulson, who joined the office 2Vfe years ago, called the three resignations purely coincidental but said salaries were a major factor, as well as opportunities for career advancements.
“Jim (Dennis) has been a wonderful boss, but since he doesn’t get backing from the university, we wind up not being paid well,” Paulson said.
Paulson said he submitted a formal request for a salary review to James R. Appleton, vice-president for student affairs, nearly five months ago. “But I have yet to hear a word about it." he said.
Paulson said he felt sure there will be more resignations from persons within various university departments in the future, but he would not elaborate.
Brown, who has held her position for three years, said she was very sad to leave. Her duties will be dispersed among present office members.
Jo Ann Freid will become director of the Craft Centre, while Mike Swiderski will head the Outing Program.
Gross had held his position since 1972. Both he and Brown were students here prior to accepting their posts.
A five-member committee composed of students and university officials is reviewing resumes from 65 applicants who have applied for Gross’ position, Dennis said.
Paulson's position, however, has not been posted as openv
“We may reorganize the job, altering it significantly,” Dennis said. “Until the changes are made, the job won’t be considered open.
“We wish Trevor the best, and we part on friendly terms.”
Gross has accepted the position of executive director of the Student Union at Sonoma State College in Sonoma, Calif.
Paulson has taken a post in the theater and arts division of the University of California at Berkeley.
Brown, the director of the Arts and Crafts Centre and the Outing Program, will become assistant manager at the Birch Hills Golf Course in Brea, Calif.
Appleton called Gross “a fine young professional who will be missed.”
GiOSS emphasized there are no hard feelings surrounding his resignation.
“This was a better opportunity, so I decided to take it,” he said.
Parking—or lack of it—to be examined by task force
Trojan
BY DAVID ROSENBAUM
A task force of about 10 students is being formed to study parking problems and make subsequent recommendations to the President’s Advisory Council, said Philip S.L. Chao, a commuter representative in the Student Senate.
Chao said the task force will first meet after Thanksgiving and hopes to submit a report to the council before Christmas. The group’s membership is still being decided.
Chao would propose to the council that faculty and staff be restricted to certain parking areas only. “I don’t think it is right that faculty and staff can park anywhere on campus when students cannot,” he said.
He would also recommend that sludents be allowed access to more than the two entrance gates on Vermont Avenue and the one entrance on Jefferson Boulevard.
“I don’t think there is any justification for allowing faculty and staff to use any entrance gate when students can use only three,” Chao said.
He noted that students coming off the Harbor Freeway must go west on Exposition Boulevard and north on Vermont Avenue before they can enter the campus.
Chao also complained that faculty and staff, who often pay for assured parking, park in student facilities. Assured (continued on page 7)

Student Senate suggests ban of handbills on trees
BY GARY LINEHAN
Staff Writer
Action to ban the posting of handbills on campus trees was taken Thursday at the regular meeting of the Student Senate.
Other action included the approval of changes in the senate bylaws and a report on the unproductive search for a university provost.
The Environmental Quality Resolution was submitted by Stephen Harris, graduate vice-chairman. The measure calls for an absolute ban on affixing “any material to any tree within the University Park campus.” The proposal would also empower any student or university employee to remove and properly dispose of matter in violation of the act.
Damage to trees, litter problems and esthetics were cited as justifications for the resolution.
Currently, posters and flyers may be tied, but not nailed, to trees and are prohibited from being hung on building surfaces.
The bill was met with some resistance. Questions of jurisdiction arose and several members said they felt trees afford a convenient medium of information.
The resolution passed 8-6 and will be forwarded to the Environmental and External Affairs Committee of the President’s Advisory Council.
Changes in five specific articles of the Student Senate bylaws were considered and approved.
Greg Cole, parlimentarian, called the action a major step. “The present bylaws are archaic. These will be much more workable.” The changes
provide for a new senate election code and clarify procedure ana tfte appeal process, Cole said.
The entire document will be presented for senate adoption at its next meeting. A two-thirds vote will be required for passage.
The search for a university provost is still unproductive after 14 months, said Tom Johnson of the Provost Search Committee.
A provost office is being created in an attempt to streamline the administrative bureaucracy. The provost will be the chief academic administrator under President John R. Hubbard. Three vice-presidents perform the duties the provost will assume, Johnson said.
The qualifications for the office are extremely high — the person chosen must be academically outstanding, relatively young and a proven frontline administrator, Johnson said. The committee would like to find a nominee who is 45 to 55 years old because someone older might retire shortly after assuming the post, he said.
It is very possible the provost could become the next university president, he added.
He said 200 to 300 candidates have been considered nationwide without results. Three names submitted to Hubbard in April were rejected for unspecified reasons. Of the five persons from USC recently considered, three were “not turned down.”
The committee is said to be leaning towards a couple of people, but things are still up in the air. The deadline for naming a provost is February but Johnson said, “W7e are shooting for December.”
