Volume Oil, Number 55 Seventy-Fifth Year of Publication trojan University of Southern California Tuesday, November 18, 1986 Pub discontinues new 'Trojan Beer' sales indefinitely By Rose Anne Rodriguez Assistant City Editor After just one day. Traditions, the university pub, has suspended its sales of the new Trojan Classic Beer. Stephen Auer, university counsel, said the university is in the midst of investigating the legalities of the use of the Trojan name and likeness on the beer's label. "Right now we're seeing if this label is an infringement or not," he said. Auer said he notified the Commons Dining Service of the possible copyright infringement and they decided to suspend sales until the counsel made a definite ruling. Peter DePlacido, Traditions manager, said beer sales had “YJe could sell the beer anywhere in the nation. It just happens that USC people like it." gone very well prior to its discontinuation. "It was my decision to stop sales. . .1 hope to sell it again in the future." DePlacido declined to comment any further on the future of Trojan Classic Beer sales. Jack Arnold, university bookstore director who is in charge of university licensing and trademarks, said he will not comment on the situation until he speaks to the beer's originators, Chris Speer and Sean MacPherson. In an interview with the Daily Trojan, MacPherson said, (Continued on page 3) . *■ •X:1* ■ r . • .:>■ • r -X ~ •' vjSfe1 BRUCE LE DAILY TROJAN The intramural field is not in championship shape, but students are still having to play on it. Athletic venues in poor condition Physical Plant is blamed for poor upkeep of fields By Gary Sutton Staff Writer The university's intramurals and recreation department is blaming Physical Plant's lack of responsibility for the terrible condition of both intramural fields. "Physical Plant does not do enough, maintenance-wise, to keep both (Cromwell Field and the Intramural Recreation Field) up," said David Koch, associate director of intramurals and recreation. Although Koch said he knows it is difficult to keep both fields in ideal condition, he said Physical Plant is failing to adequately fertilize and irrigate the two fields. Currently, both fields are fertilized about twice each year and watered twice each week, Koch said. Horticulture specialists from Cal Poly Pomona have visited the university three times in the past two years and recommended that both fields be fertilized once a month and irrigated more than twice a week, he said. This is comparable to the treatment that the Howard Jones and Dedeaux Fields receive. Both of those fields are in fine shape, he said. But Koch said conditions at the other two fields are horrendous for this time of year, espedally at Cromwell. "A javelin cannot even stick out there because it's so hard," Koch said. The field has absolutely no grass, only dirt and chuckholes, he said. Usually, the two fields remain in fine shape until March or April, he said. But Arnold Shafer, executive director of Facilities Management, said Physical Plant is doing everything it can. (Continued on page 3) Troy Week has a long history of pranks By Lori Grange Staff Writer Hey, wanna hear some good Troy Week stories? Then pull up a chair, 'cause there's lots of 'em. Like the time students planted explosives in a UCLA bonfire. Or the year Tommy Trojan received a free blue-and-gold-paint job, courtesy of a helicopter flown by UCLA students. Or the time 20,000 crickets suddenly appeared in the UCLA library. Or the year students sprinkled formaldehyde around the UCLA student section, causing it to smell like rotten eggs throughout an entire football g?me. And who'll ever forget when the Bruins raided the EVK dining hall? Ah, Troy Week! That traditional six-day period preceding the USC / UCLA football game, when both schools go at it — in this case, off the field. Officials at both schools said they expect both universities to generate a variety of pranks this year, but hope the pranks will be "low-key." "There are customary attempts to paint the statues and other tricks played by students from here and USC. It adds an element to this football game that's not there with other games. But we want everything to be in good fun," said John Sanbrook, assistant chancellor at UCLA. The past several years have seen relatively "low-key" pranks, but occasionally students have gotten carried away with their activities, (Continued on page 6) Feature Office of Residential Life hosts lunch in hope of closing student, faculty gap By Sharon Casamiquela Staff Writer Discover 'SC, a program coordinated by the Office of Residential Life, provides several educational and orientation-type programs for university students. The Faculty Entree program developed by Discover 'SC gives students the opportunity to informally interact with faculty and administrators. The program encourages students to become better acquainted with faculty members in an atmosphere away from the standard lecture hall and classroom environment. The informal lunch assists both students and faculty/administrators with initial contact outside the formalized classroom setting. An individual student or a student group, through the program, can arrange a lunch with any faculty member or administrator. The faculty member's lunch is paid for by the program and can be used at most of the campus dining facilities (EVK and Trojan Dining Hall, Cafe '84, Commons, etc.). "So far this semester, over 40 invitations have been distributed to students wishing to invite a university faculty, member to lunch. Our goal is to send out 200 invitations this year which would double last year's count," said John Freuhe, a Discover 'SC committee member. The purpose of Faculty Entree is to break down some of the uneasiness and resistance that is associated with faculty-student relationships. Faculty Entree was developed mainly because there was an increasing need, and expressed desire, for more interaction between students and faculty members. Many students show'ed interest in getting to know their professors on an informal basis. Likewise, faculty/administrators showed si-miliar interests toward their students. "For students especially. Faculty Entree can be very helpful. Sometimes it is hard to get to know a faculty member on a more casual basis. In a class of over 100 students, it is difficult to become acquainted with your professor. By inviting him/her to lunch, you become more than just a social security number; they know you better and vice-versa," Freuhe added. "The feedback given by participants of the program has been really positive thus far. I think all of those who have been involved with the program realize the benefits it can offer." Those interested in obtaining more information about the Faculty Entree program should contact your Resident Adviser, a committee member of the Discover 'SC program, in particular John Freuhe (745-1573), or the Office of Residential Life. "I encourage every student and faculty member to participate in the Faculty Entree program. It is a great opportunity for everyone so take advantage of it," Freuhe concluded.
