An agreement reached late Monday between the Los Angeles Olvmpic Organizing Committee (LAOOC) and the citv of Los Angeles will avoid any further delavs in securitv deplovment within the Olympic Villages, said Harrv Usher, executive vice president and general manager of the LAOOC at a press conference Monday.
The agreement, which will go to arbitration after the Games are over, calls for the LAOOC to pav the S9.5 million sum submitted bv Police Chief Darvl Gates for securitv detail. Usher presented Gates and Los Angeles citv coundhvoman Joan Milke Flores with a check for S5.1 million at the press conference Mondav to be added to an earlier payment of S4.4 million.
Both sides felt the kev to the agreement was a provision for outside arbitration of financial disputes on some of the securitv costs at the two main Village sites (the one at the university and the one at UCLA) and the nine other Olympic venues throughout the city. However, a decision will not
be made until after the Olympics.
Deployment of the LAPD officers will complete the final and most vital step in the organization of security personnel for the Games, which on this campus will include the services of at least five different securitv forces.
LAPD officers were scheduled to have begun detail last Saturday (the dav the main villages were scheduled to be closed to the public) on a 24-hour around the clock basis but verv few had reported to the university's Village as of Tuesdav said Lt. Dwight Sanders of Securitv.
“Our (the Securitv deparment's) role is quite complex and still needs to be more completely defined before the athletes arrive Saturdav so that all the security personnel working the Village area know their own duties,” Samders said.
Sanders said securitv will not be on vehicle patrol during the Village period but officers will continue present vehicle patrol until further notice or the time comes that the fences prohibit securitv vehicles from travelling the campus area.

NCAA responds to probation questions

In a recent letter to President James Zumberge, the National Collegiate Athletic Association has apparently expressed disagreement with the university's interpretation of the recent Supreme Court ruling which limits the power of the NCAA to control the television deals made bv college football teams.
George Abdo, executive assistant to the president, confirmed that the NCAA has sent a letter to the university in response to Zumberge's challenge of the television sanctions imposed on the university in April 1982 and said that the issue is not vet resolved.
However, with kev administrators awav from the university, Abdo said he was "not in a position to talk about the contents of the letter.
Zumberge is currently on vacation while Jon Strauss, senior vice president of administration and William Hogoboom, general counsel for the university are attending NCAA meetings in Chicago.
Abdo said Zumberge is aware of the letter's contents and is expected to meet with Strauss and Hogoboom on campus later this week to discuss the implications of the letter and decide on the university's next step.
Abdo was not willing to comment on what that next step might be saving that the action of the university administrators "depends on the course of their conversations."
He did say, however, that the recent correspondence between the university and the NCAA has not been released to the public because of its possible use in court.
The debate between the university and the NCAA over the imposed sanctions was renewed on June 27 when the Supreme Court handed down a 7-2 decision which stated that the NCAA is in violation of federal antitrust laws bv trying to limit the number of times a college football team can appear on television during the season.
This has prompted the university to ask for a re-evaluation of a portion of the sanctions which were imposed bv the NCAA in 19S2 after it was discovered that the university was guilty of selling athletes' complimentary tickets and giving them the money.
When the NCAA discovered the infraction, it handed down one of its stiffest penalties ever barring the Trojan football team from bowl game competition following the 1982 and 1983 seasons, and prohibiting the team from appearing in a televised game during the 1983 and 1984 seasons.
In defense of the university's position Zumberge said in a June 29 press conference, "If you are given a penalty, vou accept it under the conditions under which it was handed down. I think you have the right to re-examine the penalty after the conditions have been changed — and certainly they have been changed.”

Parade honors Olympians, highlights Olympicnic festivities

Red, white, and blue may be the colors for July Fourth, but cardinal and gold were the colors on Julv 1 as more than
40,000	Trojan friends and supporters gathered during Olympicnic to take one last look at the campus which will soon become home to 7,000 athletes from around the world.
The dav’s events began at the Olvmpic Swim Stadium where spectators were treated to a mock Olvmpic swimming competition with area youngsters acting as the competitors.
Those people who ventured to the swim stadium to see the event got a taste of what life during the Olympics will be like.
As soon as spectators approached the swim stadium thev were instructed bv Olvmpic securitv personnel that thev must keep moving without stopping to peer through the fence surrounding the swimming facility.
There were people on hand to distribute tickets to the free event as well as people handing out maps to spectators who hoped to work their way through the crowds and around the fencing to attend the day's events. Once people received
their tickets thev were given strict instructions about how to enter the swim stadium.
One of the main purposes of the swimming event was to provide Olvmpic personnel with a practice run of Olympic procedures. University President
James Zumberge, swimming coach Peter Daland, and Athletic Director Richard Perrv welcomed the crowd to the university and expressed enthusiasm over the coming of the Games.
Ironically, Daland introduced
Perrv as the "fine leader of Trojan athletics” on the verv dav that Perry's resignation from the athletic department became effective.
The highlight of the day's festivities came at noon as a parade of 90 Trojan Olvmpians together
with the Trojan Marching Band and Trojan mascot Traveler made its way from the swim stadium to Alumni Park where it was greeted bv Zumberge, actor Robert Stack, and a large crowd of cheering Trojan supporters.
Brightly colored balloons, which adorned the front of Do-henv Library, provided the backdrop as Zumberge and Stack introduced each of the university's past Olvmpians in attendance and read a list ot the 32 Trojans set to compete in this summer's Games.
As the band plaved its familiar rendition of Trojan songs throughout the parade, it was easy to spot who the Trojans in the crowd were as thev waved the familiar victory sign high in the air.
Following the parade, the large crowd dispersed inti' smaller groups as they branched out to sample the manv other
events.
Norris Theater was filled to capacity throughout the jdav as people sought comfortable seats, air conditioning, and the enjoyable and dramatic Olvmpic films of writer, producer, and director, Bud Greenspan.
As people made their way around the campus they invariably ran into one of the many (Continued on page 3)
