Senate to vote on revision of bylaws
By Rori Benka
Staff Writer
The Student Senate will vote tonight on a proposed amendment to its bylaws that requires senators to reside in their elected districts throughout their terms of office.
The amendment proposal was prompted by the case of Lisa Boyd and Fay Van Blake who were elected as student community and commuter representatives, respectively. Both became resident advisers in Marks Tower just before summer vacation ended.
Boyd and Van Blake were allowed to retain their positions by a narrow senate vote but were refused membership in the President’s Advisory Council , where they also sat.
The case brought strong opposition from commuters who launched a recall drive that has collected more than half of the required 900 signatures on a petition.
Also included in the senate proposal is an enactment clause that provides two alternatives for the amendment to go into effect.
The first calls for immediate enactment of the amendment upon receiving a two*thirds affirmative vote of members present. This would put Boyd and Van Blake in violation of senate bylaws and they would be removed from office.
Traditionally, their seats would be replaced by the runners-up in the election, if those students still reside in the same districts. But, according to Bill Dauster, senate chairman, the first runner-up to the commuter seat has moved and he has not yet been able to locate the student community runner-up.
The second alternative for enactment would go into effect at the spring senate elections after ratification by a two-thirds vote by senators present.
Ron Oestreich. chairman of the senate Parliamentary Committee, feels that the proposal will be approved but Boyd and Van Blake will retain their seats until the spring.
“Personally, I don't feel they should stay on. but if the senate opted to adopt the amendment immediately, it would seem like we re writing laws just to kick out senators.” Oestreich said.
Dauster voiced similar views, saying it was “more political” to allow the senators to remain at their posts until the spring.

By Gail Asayama
Staff Writer
The Dental school, under William Crawford, its new dean, is initiating changes in its curriculum. faculty enrichment and evaluations. Student Loan Program and administrative structure.
The changes in curriculum will be determined by a committee to be headed by Albert Abraham.
Howard Landesman, associate dean of the dental school, said, "The curriculum must change with the times." The 120students accepted to the Dental school had formerly taken what came to be known as a corp-curric ulum, meaning all students took nearly the same classes. Realizing the differences in students’ interests and needs, a more flexible program is being designed.
Landesman said that students may have a 30,/r course choice to fill Dental school requirements, instead of the current 5r4 course choice.
Weekly seminars have been scheduled to enrich the faculty in areas that their students will deal with as future dentists. Seminars are planned in the areas of ethics, religion, law and further biological study.
The full-time faculty will be invited to attend the hour-and-a-half lectures.
According to Landesman. the dental school is working to provide students with as many scholarships and loans as possible. Landesman said the university's dental school has one of tuitions the lowest in the country with a tuition of $5,200. Georgetown University in Washington, D C. is the highest with a tuition of
University starts $325,000 entrance remodeling
By Wendy Zimmerman
Staff Writer
Four major entrances to the university are being remodeled at a cost of $75,000 each to make them easier to see and provide greater accessibility.
Allowing for a rate of 8 to 10^ inflation, the total cost of the project could amount to over S325.000. said Anthony Lazzaro, vice president for business affairs.
The first of the four entrances, located at Figueroa Street and 35th Place, was designed by Quincy Jones of A. Quincy Jones, a Fellow ofthe American Institute of Architects, as part of a master plan to upgrade the university.
The entrance should be completed by next month, said Michael J Bocchicchio. university architect and director of architectural
services.
Much of the expense involved comes from widening and repaving streets, leveling roadbeds and meeting city codes. Bocchicchio said the purpose of the entrances is “to provide proper identity for the campus and to clearly identify the vehicular entrances.”
He said one ofthe biggest campus problems for those who are not acquainted with the school is finding the right place to enter Lazzaro said the entrances will be inviting and well lit.
He justified the spending of over $300,000 on entrances, citing the university's need for entrances that are wider and more easily identifiable, new parking attendant booths more in keeping with the campus' design and finally some general improvements in the roadway so people can enter and exit more easily. The new entrances will provide a place
for visitors to turn around in as well as help prevent people from making wrong turns into the university.
The project is funded by Toward Century II. coming from donations given for university landscaping.
The money for the entrances comes from a fund that is replenished by the time all the donors have contributed.
The Board of Trustees approved the allocation.
The next entrance scheduled for remodeling is at Hoover Street and Exposition Boulevard. The other two locations are at Jefferson Boulevard and McClintock Avenue and Vermont Avenue and 36th Street.
The university must upgrade three of the entrances as part of an agreement made with urban renewal authorities when the university acquired lands to extend the campus.
$8,500.
Landesman said the dental school has been working to keep the tuition down. One reason for the relatively low tuition is the large amount of part-time faculty. who are modestly paid. Landesman said.
Crawford has restructured the administration in what he considers their most important improvement thus far. Crawford has created the new position of associate dean for student affairs.
.Michael Delaney is currently serving in the position that deals with financial aid. admissions and all other matters concerning students.
Crawford has also made changes in departmental structure.
"Things were uncoordinated and by changing the sections into groupings, they are now under a common leadership." he said. The groupings include the clinical sciences, surgical sciences. basic sciences and management.
The dental school has received 1.600 applications for the coming year. The number of ap: plications has been decreasing at the university as well as nationwide.
Rosemarie Tutunjian. associate director of admissions said the decreases are probably due to the decrease in loan programs.
Another major reason is that the effects of an aerospace boom are now diminishing. Tutunjian said. Because ofthe discontinuation of the aerospace program, many students had diverted to the dentistry major.

Throughout the week, “The Great Debate” was over which USC football team would show up for the "Big Game" with UCLA. It was the hottest debate since the Lincoln-Douglas showdown and the League of Women Voters could not have asked for a better topic.
Would it be the USC team that steamrolled through its first four games and climbed atop of the national polls? Or would it be the Trojan squad that self-destructed with fumbles and interceptions in losing four of its final six games an£ playing itself out of the Rose Bowl?
Those were the questions and, not to disappoint anyone, the Trojans brought both editions and more into the Coliseum Friday night. Playing under a full moon, the Trojans resembled a bewitched team, switching personalities with every Change of the quarter.
They showed their bad side, the good, the undesirable and the unforgettable in defeating the Bruins, 29-27, in the Pac-8 finale. In the end it was the unforgettable as Frank Jordan booted a 38-yard field goal with only two seconds left and USC with no remaining timeouts.
The victory moved USC into the Bluebonnet Bowl on New Year's Eve against Texas A & M. a rematch of the 1975 Liberty Bowl that USC won 20-0. USC’s win Friday also moved the Washington Huskies into the Rose Bowl while UCLA will stay home without a bowl bid despite ending the season at 7-4, the same as USC.
Jordan's kick capped a 15-play desperation drive by the Trojans that quarterback Rob Hertel engineered to perfection in the final 2:49. UCLA had taken a 27-26 lead with 2:51 to play on a pass from Rick Bashore to tight end Don Pedersen and seemingly had put itself in the Rose Bowl.
However, the night belonged to Hertel and the battling Trojans. The senior quarterback, who played his best game of the year, already had thrown three touchdown passes to break the school record of 13, held jointly by Jimmy Jones and Pat Haden but he wasn’t through yet.
Hertel marched the Trojans into Jordan’s range by completing four critical passes, and — with the aid of a disputed interference
