AN EYE ON CAMPUS
Reporter lives to talk about swinging time with band
By Dave Leon Moore

The Trojan Marching Band has had certain image problems this year.
What with derogatory letters (that later turned out to be fakes) appearing in the Daily Trojan and a leg being broken in Cal's Memorial Stadium. I hesitate to bring up another sore spot
But then again, most of the present USC band members probably don't cringe when they hear the name Steve Harvey. What a difference 11 years can make.
It was just 11 years ago that Harvey, then a Daily Trojan sports reporter, was hanged in effigy on campus
—	by the USC band. He had written a story claiming that, due to the scarcity of band members, tone deaf students were being recruited to parade around the Coliseum floor, instruments in hand, to make the band appear a bit larger and more impressive.
Eleven years have flown by and Wednesday the same Steve Haney, now a Los Angeles Tiynes reporter and author of The Bottom 10 college football column, walked
around campus completely unrecognized.
Sigma Delta Chi. the Society of Professional Journalists, had recruited Harvey to speak at a meeting.
When he was asked to reflect on the incident. Harvey responded. "Maybe I should go check the lamppost." After all. it isn't every day that a person gets hanged and lives to talk about it.

Passersby on Jefferson Boulevard were treated to a rather interesting sight the other day.
A city maintenance crew was doing a little street repair. Leaning against its truck was a complete worker’s uniform — helmet, shirt, pants, boots — everything except a worker.
Why the uniform suns worker was constructed remains a mystery, but the question the sight inspired was : “Why don't they do the same thing with Tommy Trojan?”
Every year when the UCLA game rolls around, they could erect a fake Tommy Trojan. The fake would take all the abuse from the crosstowners while the real thing would remain void of blue and gold paint.
Who knows ? It just might work. Remember the fake town in Blazing Saddles?

Speaking of parking (and somebody usually is), the parking-on-campus-without-a-permit system is becoming increasingly difficult.
One student admits he is having a rather tough time getting on campus these days. But he is not without his "battling for parking” medals.
A prized possession in his apartment is one of those wooden red-and-white arms that guard the card-key entrances to the inner campus.
Nice going, soldier.

There are three parking spaces marked “handicapped" in the parking structure facing the Elisabeth von KleinSmid Residence Hall. One recent evening two of those spaces were occupied by Campus Security vehicles.

Financial aid counseling altered to create more personal situation
The Office of Financial Aid has added an additional counselor and doubled the total number of counseling hours in an attempt to keep up with an increase in student questions and problems.
Nancy Zubair. the assistant director of financial aid operations, said the reshuffling was done in an attempt to obtain a more personalized situation with the counselor.
“Under the previous system, it got to the point where three different people talked to one student and he was told to do three different things." Zubair said.
“Basically, what we have done is broken the alphabet down into four groups. Within these groups, there is one counselor and seven evaluato rs.
“The evaluators are responsible for all the necessary paperwork for each student in their group and it’s the counselors who see the
students.”
Zubair said that with the new system, which began Monday, the student will be able to see one specific counselor each time. “We still have the walk-in system which is open from 2 to 5 p.m. each week." she said.
“If the student prefers to make an appointment, he can do so from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
“We'll see how the new procedure goes, but we d like some feedback from the students on how it’s working.”
Zubair said that in the future, she would like to see more counselors per student, but because of a tight budget, it wasn’t feasible for the immediate future.
“It’s too early to tell if the new system is going to work,” Zubair said.

USC, Stanford file million-dollar suit against State Controller Cory
USC and Stanford University have jointly filed suit against Ken Cory, the State Controller, who refused SI million for the medical schools to train more doctors. The State Board of Control denied payment to both institutions on June 21.
Cory refused to make the payment on the basis of an interpretation	from the
Attorney General's office that cited payment of public monies to a private organization as a violation of the state constitution. Corv has inter-
preted the payment as a grant and refused to audit and pay the universities.
The Grunsky Act of 1971 was passed to increase the number of doctors educated in California without building a new medical school. USC, Stanford and Loma Linda, all private institutions, entered into a contract with the state to increase enrollment in their medical schools.
USC increased enrollment under the plan from 343 to 379
Police arrest 2 suspects in Row burglary, assault
Two persons were arrested early Wednesday morning on suspicion of burglary and the assault of a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity Tuesday.
The suspects, a male and female in their early 20s, were apprehended by Los Angeles Police Department officers in the 2700 block of Portland Street, just north of the Row. said Robert Kessler, a police investigator.
William Willis, a sophomore pledge of the fraternity, reportedly was returning to his room at 3:45 a.m. Tuesday when he noticed the female suspect crouching down by the back doorway of the house.
Willis shouted to his fraternity brothers, waking some of them and alerting the suspect, officials said.
"She saw the upstairs light go on and tried to run away. I grabbed her and tried to take her inside," Willis said.
The male suspect hurriedly came around the building, he said, and. seeing Willis, threw a 2-inch by 4-inch block of wood at him, grazing his back.
Willis said the man then found a brick and threw it at him.

for the year of 1972-1973 and from 379 to 409 the next year, receiving payment from the controller’s office. It also received a payment of $1,087,320 in the third year of the plan when the university increased its enrollment from 409 to 447.
Carl M. Franklin, vice-president of legal affairs, said, “USC contends that it was not a grant, but a payment for a contractual agreement.”
On Dec. 1. 1973, the university signed a written contract with the Student Aid Commission, which promised payment of
S12.000	per year for each additional medical student enrolled.
Franklin said the university enters into many contracts with Ihe state providing goods and services to the university, which in turn performs services for the state. Franklin estimated that the university currently has 25 to 30 contracts.
The California State Supreme Court will decide whether the university will receive payment for the year 1976 77. Franklin said the three years in which the university did receive payment sets a precedent. Payment for the following years will automatically follow a decision in favor of the university.
