Interfraternity Council to meet with L.A. police
By Charisse Jones
Staff Writer
The Interfraternity Council and members of the Los Angeles Police Department will have a chance to get acquainted and to discuss law enforcement on the Row at an April 23 meeting, said an IFC spokesman.
Marcus Jansen, vice president of public relations for the IFC, said the purpose of the meeting is “to develop good communications" between the police of the Southwest division, which has jurisdiction over the campus area, and the inhabitants of the Row.
"We're trying to make them (the police) feel more at home," Jansen said. Jansen said officers and Greeks need to work together to ease hostility between the Row and LAPD.
"It's a two-way street: We don't feel they've been protecting us, and they don't feel we're cordial toward them."
Jansen, who is a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, said the "hostility that has built up over the years" between Greeks and the police must be tom down.
He added that, for example, the police previously did not know who to speak to in Row leadership during disturbances on 28th Street, but through the opening up of communication "they're now more aware" of who the leaders are.
This semester there have been two "major" disturbances on the Row that drew several units from both University Security and the LAPD, one after a drinking contest off campus and another during Greek Week.
Though an agenda for the meeting has not been drawn up yet, Jansen said the IFC and police are trying to establish a program in which different officers along with student leaders have a "footbeat," and patrol the Row "not every day, but on various occasions."
Jansen said, "Our own (campus) security is concerned with 28th Street. They are worried about their own safety because of the hostility between them and various people on the Row, and so they've also called in the LAPD."
Jansen said Captain Dvment of the Southwest division had a meeting March 25 with the IFC in order to discuss plans for the meeting in April.
Southwest div ision officers have also had meetings with individual fraternities that are trying to improve their relations with the department, he said.
One of these fraternities is Kappa Sigma, which has had individual problems with the LAPD. It held a dinner the evening of March 25 and invited several officers, including Dvment, Jansen said.
member at the California Institute of the Arts and a member of the consortium committee, said, "I think one of the principles (for the institute) is to widen its influence as a research and performance center. A lot of changes have been developed in the last 7 1/2 years and differ-
ences in opinions have been happily resolved."
Heidi Lesemann, assistant director of the institute, said the purpose of the institute is to provide regular access for both the university and other domestic and international institutions.
Schoenberg Institute receives $100,000
Funds earmarked to computerize catalog system
By Albert Pang
Staff Writer
Inside the archives of the Arnold Schoenberg Institute, one can find thousands of the composer's music manuscripts, the complete collections of his essays — including his eulogy for George Gershwin — and his two decks of hand-made playing cards.
There is also a picture in which Gershwin is drawing a portrait of Schoenberg. Their music is totally different, but they used to play tennis together, said Jerry McBride, archivist of the institute.
With a $102,836 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, these memorable collections will undergo a speedy computerized cataloging. The money will also be used to hire three new employees for the archives.
A reception will be held Wednesday at noon at the insti-
tute to celebrate a new agreement reached between the Schoenberg heirs and the university, and to announce the grant.
While the institute is gearing toward a new operation, an agreement has also been reached between the university's administration and the Schoenberg family on the use of the facilities, ending a three-year dispute.
Ronald Schoenberg, one of the three heirs of the world-re-nowned composer who invented the 12-tone scale, said," 'SC has agreed to safeguard the original purpose of the institute (which directly refers to the works of the composer). If it is carried out, basically the use of the facilities would be for Arnold Schoenberg, not for other things."
The dispute began in 1982 when the Schoenberg heirs said the institute was being misused.
The heirs threatened to remove the archives from the university because unauthorized activities
—	including faculty parties — were held in the'institute, whose operation cost had been placed under the music department's budge t.
Since then university President James Zumberge appointed a committee to solve the problem and reviewed the operations of the institute.
In the agreement reached between the two parties early this year, Schoenberg said a recommitment was ironed out, giving a better definition of the institute's budget and an improvement of the cataloging.
In fact, the institute — established in 1977 — is supported by a consortium of three institutions, including the Cal State Los Angeles, the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia and USC.

‘Swim with Mike’ event draws strong support
By Owen Gross
Staff Writer
The most common adjectives used to describe the atmosphere at Saturday's "Swim with Mike" fund-raiser ranged from "positive" to "incredible." One analogy offered by a participant, who was also a scholarship recipient, was that the event was like "one big beach party."
Underlying the party atmosphere, however, was concern by organizers to get even more people to particpate in the event and to make more people aware of the cause it supports.
The fifth "Swim with Mike" was also the most successful, said Ron Orr, assistant athletic director and originator of the event. An estimated $45,000 to $50,000 was raised by over 200 participants to benefit physically challenged student / athletes at the university.
This year's funds will be distributed among approximately seven recipients. There have been 10 recipients thus far.
These recipients include Mike Nyeholt, a former All-American swimmer at the university, for whom the event is named after and was originally set-up to aid.
Also benefitted by the program are Kevin Lewis, formerly a wrestler, and Becky McCafferty, a former All-American swimmer at UCLA. McCafferty, who was paralyzed when she dove under a wave and hit a sand bar, managed to swim 16 laps at Saturday's event.
Currently enrolled university students who have received "Swim with Mike" scholarships include Scott Madden, a former track athlete; Chris Kreutzberg, a former swimmer; Luis Hernandez, previously a football player; and Paul Heckler, a former tennis player.
Jeff Keith, perhaps best known for his recent 3,000-mile run across the country, is a former lacrosse and hockey player from Boston Col-

Seniors given chance to evaluate overall educational experience
By James Jones
Assistant City Editor
The first Senior Survey has been mailed out to all students who will graduate by the end of this semester to give them a chance to review their experiences here at the university, said Kristine Dillon, assistant vice president of Student Affairs.
The four-page survey, which is being conducted by the Student Affairs Division Student Outcome Research Report, was sent in early March to all of the approximately 1,925 graduating seniors.
Dillon said the purpose of the survey is to get feedback from the seniors on what they found helpful during their academic careers and what areas need changes.
"We are starting a new tradition and are very interested in what the seniors’ experiences have been," Dillon said.
"They have observed the university for a long time and are the most reliable respondents to it."
Dillon said the survey will provide "useful information with which to evaluate undergraduate curricula and requirements as well as programs designed to serve the students."
The comprehensive survey asks seniors to evaluate everything from the overall quality of their undergraduate education to their ability to make judgments about international problems facing the country. Students will rate various issues about the university with marks for very poor, poor, average, good and excellent.
The survey also has a section that allows the student to write answers concerning various issues, including what departments they felt were the strongest and the weakest.
Dillon said seniors should take the survey seriously, adding that the information they provide will be used to decide changes in areas the students see as troublesome.
Sylvia Manning, vice provost, said seniors should respond to the survey "as a gift to the next class."
Manning also said the information seniors can provide "is the best kind of information you can get. Seniors have already put distance between themselves and their experiences and can look back with a'proper perspective."
Dillon said a contest has also been set up to try to get the forms back quickly so they can be processed. "The purpose of the contest is also
