IMPERSONATING BERKELEY
Television novel filming begins on campus
By Rori Benka

The university is pocketing some loose change of its own this week from the on-campus filming of Loose Change, an NBC Novel for Television.
Universal Studios began its 46-day shooting schedule yesterday, arriving with a 75-member crew and an army of actors and extras that numbered around 100. Filming will continue at several locations on campus until Friday.
Loose Change is a film adaptation of Sara Davidson’s current best-seller about the lives of three women who attended Berkeley during the 1960’s era of protest.
In three two-hour segments, their formative years in school, careers, romances and later lives will be traced. The program’s air date is uncertain, but expected after Jan. 1.
A popular site for movie and television filming, the university receives $1,000 for each day of filming. The money is used for maintenance costs. The studio provides safety precautions by hiring off-duty Campus Security officers, a fire safety officer and a nurse.
Monday’s footage depicted a 1962 ROTC protest rally and early radical student involvement.
The crew also will be shooting the Commons Terrace, Alumni Park, Marks Tennis Stadium and Mudd Hall this week. On Friday, the Daily Trojan cityroom will become the newsroom of Berkeley’s Daily Californian.
Jules Irving, director and executive producer, said USC was working well as a location site. “We’re having no problems and the cooperation of everyone here is really good,” he said.

Students scramble for seats in lottery Daily
By Lois Pitter

Students can anticipate more long lines turning in their coupons for the football lottery and the chance of getting seats in the Coliseum’s scramble section.
This newly arranged scramble section, the upper section of Tunnels 25 and 26, will be a permanent fixture for the entire football season.
Formerly, the student and faculty seating section encompassed the area from the 50-yard line at Tunnel 20 to the peristyle area at Tunnel 27. With the new system, the seating for students stretches from the 50-yard line at Tunnel 21 to Tunnel 16.
The student section has been cut back by 23% this year, according to Edward Partridge, director of the Ticket Office.
The arrangement was made to fulfill the Los Angeles Rams request so that they would increase the possibilities of having a sellout and television coverage in the Los Angeles area.
He said the Coliseum seats 92,000, but with the cutback, it now accommodates approxi-
mately 70,000.
“There are 12,900 seats for students in this new area,” said Patridge. “When we carved out the area we thought it would be more than adequate to take care of the students’ needs.”
The office, however, did not anticipate an additional 1,400 student requests for ticket books. Consequently, they had to arrange for additional seating in the Coliseum and this was the reason for the creation of the scramble section.
“Depending on the crowd response to the game, the section may not be used,” Partridge said. “But if there’s heavy demand for seats, like with the Alabama or Stanford games, then the section will be needed.”
Partridge feels the demand for ticket books increased this year due to the superior location of the student seats, increased interest in the game because of the university’s Rose Bowl victory and increased enrollment.
“We felt we could accommodate our crowd in the stadium with the new seating arrangement,” he said.

Work-study budget cut blamed on underutilization of resourses
By Lynn Sprenger
Staff Writer
Although last year’s $2.19 million College Work Study Program allocation was the largest ever received by the university, the federal government allotted only $1.26 million to the university forthe current fiscal year.
Underutilization of available funds was the main reason for the cut, said Linda K. Berkshire, director of student aid programs.
The university managed to use only 75% of its work-study allocation in fiscal year 1976 (July 1, 1975 to June 30,1976), Berkshire said.
Funds for this fiscal year were applied for in October of last year, meaning that the figures given to the government to base its 1977*78 allocation were from fiscal year 1976.
However, the university used 98% of the $2.19 million allocation last year, Berkshire said.
“The federal government will look very favorably on that,” she said. “If you’ve utilized at least
90% of your funds, you should not receive a reduction in funding, all other things being equal.”
Berkshire is hoping that the funding level for next year (July 1, 1978 to June 30, 1979) will be between $2 million and $2.5 million because of the university’s 98% utilization rate and increased enrollment.
The Office of Student Aid Programs is in the process of applying for those funds now, using figures from last year. However, it will not increase this year’s $1.26 million allocation.
Berkshire said that a new procedure for applying for federal funds is being used and is based on past and current utilization enrollment increases and an inflation factor.
In the past, institutions based their requests on projections of how much they thought they would be able to use rather than hard facts.
The projections tended to be inflated, she said, because it is difficult to predict how much of the

A crackdown on nonstudents sitting in the university’s student section has been suggested by the Student Senate Cabinet.
Ticket problems involving the student section were discussed by the Senate’s Student Affairs unit Friday.
“We’re hoping to get a policy instituted for checking ID cards at the entrance to home football games,” said Bill Dauster, senate chairman. “We want to get it started by the Stanford and UCLA games, and for sure at the Rose Bowl.”
Citing the limitation of student seats. Dauster said the senate’s goal “is to make sure every student seat will belong to a student.”
The Student Affairs Unit is working with Anthony Lazzaro, vice-president of business affairs, in putting this policy into action, said Dauster.
Final plans for a student forum to be held this week were made by the cabinet.
The forum is designed to get feedback from students and increase contact between the Student Senate and students.
Students will be encouraged to air their opinions at the two forums this week. Dauster said. “We also hope to have comnlaint forms available so that we can pool opinions and do something about them.”
The forums will be held from 12 to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday in Von KleinSmid Center lounge.
The senate is also working on assigning office hours to staff members ofthe Student. Finance and Academic Affairs units.
The quality ot foreign teaching assistants was also discussed by the cabinet, with input from the Academic Affairs Unit.
Two resolutions were passed by the cabinet for the purpose of improving the foreign TAs ability to communicate with students.
