Police charge student with computer theft
By Vivien Lou Chen
Staff Writer
A University Bookstore employee was arrested last week on suspicion of grand theft after university and police investigators found $210,000 worth of computer equipment in his Pasadena home, police said.
Don Jordan, 34, a sophomore majoring in engineering and a part-time salesman in the store's computer department, apparently walked out of the building with the equipment during business hours, said Officer David Jones of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Jordan and Jack Arnold Jr., the bookstore's director, declined comment.
Jordan was arrested in his apartment July 3 after investigators uncovered an "extremely powerful and extensive system" of laser printers, a scanner, about 1,000 floppy disks, several modems, 10 monitors, eight keyboards and IBM, Everex and Macintosh computers, Jones said.
Jordan was booked at LAPD's Southwest Division, where he later posted $1,500 bail. His arraignment is scheduled
for July 24.	_

Administrators clarify rules for use of pool
In the wake of complaints that the university has barred local residents from the Olympic Swim Stadium, administrators issued a statement last week describing the official pool-use policy.
Because the pool was built to specifications defined by the International Swimming Federation, it does not comply with the California Health and Safety Code, thus making it unsuitable for recreation, according to the statement.
To use the pool, people older than 15 without a university ID must apply in writing to Don Lamont, aquatics director of the Intramurals and Recreation department, pass a swimming test, and understand that the pool is not for recreation but for competition and training.
Community use of the pool is otherwise restricted to organized groups such as USA Diving, USA Swimming, the Southern Califorinia Diving Club and the California Swim Club. Three local organizations also use the pool: Universal Diving, the Youth Diving Club, and a water polo team.

Store not built by the book, marshal says
Opening of new bookstore delayed for safety reasons
By C. S. Wyatt
Staff Writer
University officials held a grand opening ceremony for the $8.8-million bookstore on July 10, but the official opening was delayed another week after the building failed an inspection by the Los Angeles fire marshal.
More than 100 people waited outside the bookstore on the afternoon of the opening to tour the inside of the four-story complex. Though bookstore officials and employees went ahead with the scheduled tours, a small sign at the building's entrance read: "Pending approval of the City of Los Angeles building inspector, the University Bookstore will open July 17."
"We're trying to get an occupancy permit. Until we get that, we can't legally occupy the building," said Richard Stupin, director of new construction.
It was the second time in two weeks that the building failed fire inspection, Stupin said.
"Last week the fire marshal wanted the generator checked. This week they want more exit signs posted," Stupin said. "We are at the mercy of the fire marshal."
Jack Arnold, bookstore director, called the delay "unfortunate."
But the bookstore's executive director, Eugene Lawless, remained enthusiastic about the dedication.

Soviet activist to speak on peace and spirituality
Psychiatrist spreads the word on first trip outside Soviet Union
By C. S. Wyatt
Staff Writer
Despite popular reluctance to rally behind a peace movement, one is growing in the Soviet Union, and a Soviet psychiatrist and peace activist has left his country for the first time to spread the word.
Sergei Seryedkin will discuss the peace movement and spirituality in the Soviet
Union at noon today in Von KleinSmid Center.
"I'm here to meet new people interested in spiritual development," Seryedkin said. "I'm also going to visit friends I met during the peace marches."
Last year, the Soviet Union was the site of the second Soviet-American Peace Walk. Hundreds of Americans participated in the event, Seryedkin said.
Seryedkin's 45-minute speech is an opportunity to leam about "the unofficial peace movement and spiritual movements in the Soviet Union," said Joel Fe-derman, coordinator of the university's
Peace and Conflict Studies Program.
Spiritualism and religion are not illegal in the Soviet Union, Seryedkin said, but his colleagues have pressured him to withdraw from unofficial organizations such as Peace Vigil, an international group.
"It's up to the person (to decide) if he is willing to face some difficulty and meet spiritual people. It's easier to stay within approved behaviors," he said.
Despite its unofficial status, Seryedkin said that Peace Vigil has branches in several Soviet cities, including Moscow, Len-(See Soviet, page 3)

Shenk, a senior majoring in real estate finance; and John Argue, a senior majoring in business.
The show was divided into one intellectual and three physical competitions.'
In the first competition, participants sat on a greased pole and attempted to knock their opponents off with a feather pillow while maintaining their own balance.
Next, students frantically squirted water at a mud-covered board in an (See Show, page 2)
