Hentschke ‘ecstatic’ about post
Education school to get new dean
By Gene Kang
Staff Writer
After a lengthy and tedious search, the School of Education has a new dean who will replace John Orr, the current dean, by July 1.
"I am absolutely ecstatic" about being named dean, said Guil-bert Hentschke, presently dean of the Graduate School of Education and Human Development at the University of Rochester in New York.
"USC's School of Education is highly regarded and is in a very important location where it can have an incredibly profound effect on the future of the nation," Hentschke said in a telephone interview from Rochester, N.Y. "I am honored and enthusiastic to have the opportunity to take part in it as a leader."
Orr, who has been dean of the school since 1982, said he is leaving his post to resume his professorship at the university. He felt that "it was time (to leave)."
"Guilbert Hentschke is exactly the right person to be the dean of the School of Education," Orr said. "He is an experienced administrator and is deeply concerned about issues related to education in urban America."
"Aside from the goals set out by the president's office, I plan on taking USC on a rapid, upward trajectory towards national as well as international prominence as an institution of education," Hentschke said of his goals as dean. "USC has a strong and energetic faculty. The alumni body is as strong and vocal as they come."
Hentschke started at the University of Rochester in 1974 and was named associate dean in 1980 and was acting dean in 1983. He became dean of the Graduate School of Education and Human Development in 1985.
His other achievements include directing the Center for Urban Education of the Chicago public schools from 1977 through 1979.

Changes improve student orientation
By Jennifer Glickman

After four years of holding freshman and transfer student orientation programs jointly, they are being held separately this summer in an effort to better address their individual needs.
"We change things every year," said Peggy Kravitz, director of orientation programs, adding that many changes are the result of requests and suggestions communicated by means of student and parent questionnaires.
Kravitz said that from past surveys, transfer students preferred a shorter orientation because they need information primarily about registration and not as much about campus life.
"They have similar sessions (as the freshmen), but they are more geared towards the needs and interests of transfer students," she said.
No other major changes were made this year.
Each year, all entering stu---> .dents with the exception of domestic graduate students pay a mandatory orientation fee, which is tacked on to the first fee bill. The fee is meant to cover the cost of orientation materials without dipping into tuition money' paid by other students, Kravitz said.
Last year the orientation fee,
which is charged regardless of whether the student attends an orientation session, was $52. This year the fee increased to $56.
In addition to this fee, all students who attend actual orientation sessions pay additional fees to cover the cost of an overnight stay in university housing and four meals.
This year, the cost of the two-day orientation session for freshmen costs $46. The program for transfer students costs $15 and lasts one day. The cost
is the same for parents who wish to accompany their children.
Entering freshmen — "Trojans in Training" — have been participating in the university's orientation program since June 13. Sessions will continue through Aug. 2.
Transfer student orientation began June 28 and will also be held July 19 and Aug. 4.
The programs are designed to introduce freshmen to the university environment as well as (Continued on page-3)

Gang violence strikes Ellendale Place
LAPD, security step up patrols to curb further disturbances
Los Angeles Police Department officers patrol the Ellendale area after four gang violence occurrences Sunday.

Two gang members were shot and one killed at 2657 Ellendale Place at 8:50 p.m. Sunday in what the Southwest Division of the Los Angeles Police Department called a "gang-related drive-by shooting."
This was just one of four gang-related incidents that occurred in a six-hour period Sunday, one of the busiest days of gang activity this year, police said.
Three gang members were standing outside an apartment complex when a member of a rival gang riding in a red 1968 Mustang drove by and fired four shots at them.
All three of the gang members were shot.
En route to California Hospital located on Hope Street, 15 year-old Antonio Nunez was pronounced dead, while the other two gang members (who
are minors and whose names are being withheld) were wounded.
Early Monday morning, the LAPD arrested two members of a rival gang.
Apparently after the shooting, the suspects stopped at a nearby comer and shouted, "Hey, we just shot one of your home-boys," and sped away, police said.
However, according to the Los Angeles Times, traffic officer Richard Kellog, who was at the scene of an accident, noticed the car and wrote down the license number and immediately reported it.
After a short investigation, the LAPD traced the license plate number to the registered owner. A 16-year-old youth admitted to being the driver of the car at the time of the shooting, police said.
He gave the LAPD the name of the alleged shooter and later, (Continued on page 2)
