Auxiliary services — which supervised residence halls, food services, the Trojan Bookstore and graphic services — was disbanded and its director, Guy Hubbard, relieved of his duties in a sudden move by the administration earlier this week.
Anthony Lazzaro, vice president of business affairs, said auxiliary services was dismantled and Hubbard's job terminated in order to increase efficiency.
"A restructuring and reorganization of what has been known as auxiliary services has taken place this week," Lazzaro said. "It's been done in recognition of the growth and importance of major divisions within auxiliary services."
Hubbard was unavailable for comment Wednesday night.
Lazzaro said it is possible two other people who work directly with Hubbard could also be out
Groups demand ‘fair share’ of LAPD
By Karen Kucher
Assistant City Editor
In response to community demands for better police protection, the Los Angeles Police Commission met Tuesday with community representatives to discuss possible changes in its 37-year-old manpower deployment formula.
"We want to make sure the Los Angeles Police Department is equitable in distributing the officers they have on the force now,” said Virginia Taylor Hughes, president of Merchants for Community Improvement.
Hughes, one of the community representatives speaking at the commission meeting, said she is mainly concerned with getting a fair share of police officers, but not necessarily adding more officers to the force.
In a related move to improve the police department. Mayor Tom Bradley has asked the City Council to spend $2 million for 100 more officers for the rest of the fiscal year, according to the Los Angeles Times.
This increase would bring the number of officers in the department up to 7,000.
Credit union to install ATM in vacated space

The Wells Fargo Bank auto-mated teller machine that was removed from the Financial Services Building last summer will be replaced by an ATM for the university's federal credit union, University Treasurer Lyn Hutton said Wednesday.
The ATM possibly will be connected to electronic banking networks for other financial instituions, Hutton said.
Wells Fargo Bank removed the teller machine — formerly next to the First Interstate Bank of California's ATM on the west side of financial services — during the summer because it was proving unprofitable for the company to keep it there, said Karen Zendlebach, division manager of express service for Wells Fargo.
Hutton said the university began renegotiating Wells Fargo's lease on its wall space last December, and the bank announced in January it would not renew the lease.
The bank agreed to renew the lease in February, Hutton said, but finally decided in May to remove the ATM.
Hutton said Wells Fargo did not miss rental payments, as reported last year.
Hutton said the credit union
—	which is open only to university staff and faculty — is planning to install an ATM sometime this winter in the vacated wall space.
She added that the union was "exploring the possibility" of purchasing an ATM from Security Pacific National Bank which would serve its account holders and those of others, as well as credit union members.
An employee of the credit union confirmed that the union was planning to purchase an ATM. Isaac Barrocas, manager of the credit union, was not available for comment.
Hutton said the union originally planned to buy the Wells Fargo ATM, but did not think the machine would be compatible (Continued on page 3)
"The commission has approved (the proposal) and it is now up for the approval of the City Council," said Bill Cowdin, board secretary of the police commission.
Community leaders are attributing the sudden interest in improving law enforcement to the increased protection provided during the Olympics.
"The Olympics proved to the politicians and the police that having more police (officers) reduced crime," said Alicia Lewis, a spokesperson for the South Central Organizing Committee.
The SCOC, a church-based community organization representing 23 churches and seven religious denominations, met Tuesday with City Attorney Ira Reiner and Jesse Brewer, deputy chief of police, to discuss crime problems in its community.
Cowdin said that during the Olympics a task force was formed by moving people from other positions, and by not allowing officers to take days off or vacations.
"We are paying for the Olympics now. Officers are getting their time off, so we are at a low point (in personnel)," he said.
Los Angeles City Councilman Robert Farrell, who represents the 8th District — which includes this university, said he thinks the proposal to add officers wall pass.
"We would have preferred the 8,500 Plan (which would have increased the total number of officers to 8,500) to have passed, since we would have liked to have far more than 100 additional officers," Farrell said.
Hughes said she welcomes the proposal, as long as the South Central area gets its "fair share" of the new officers.
"If they can't handle what they have now, why give them (Continued on page 3)
of a job, though he said he was not sure that Hubbard's assistants would be relieved of their duties.
The remaining auxiliary services staff will be funneled into the four units formerly making up the department, he said.
The directors of the four units
—	William Thompson, housing; Gene Lawless, food services; Jack Arnold, bookstore; and Robert MacDonald, graphic services — will now report directly to Lazzaro.
Lazzaro said he announced the decision to Hubbard on Monday and that Hubbard will be out of his office by Friday.
He said the decision had been made quickly, and was not planned over a long time. "I don't think Hubbard was aware that the reorganization was coming," he said.
Lazzaro, who was responsible for making the decision, said Hubbard — who held his position for 12 years — will have no role in the university and was terminated because his position no longer exists under the reorganization.
He said the decision had nothing to do with Hubbard himself, and was made so sud-
denly only because "it was time for the decision to be made, and I made it."
Lazzaro said he thought the arrangements made with Hubbard were fair, but added it would be improper to elaborate on the details of the arrangements.
The change has occurred because of the growth that has taken place in the auxiliary units in the last six or seven years, he said.
The four units have a combined yearly budget of $40 million and employ about 450 people.
"The units will benefit by di-rectly reporting to my office rather than what was previously known as auxiliary services," he said.
"Each unit has become a major service unit within the university, which at this stage caused me to make this decision in the interest of direct communication."
Yet Lazzaro also said, "At colleges and universities in general, these responsibilities are combined and indentified as an auxiliary services division and managed by an auxiliary services director."
Student Senate introduces resolution for computers

The Student Senate introduced a resolution at its Wednesday meeting supporting a plan by the university's Project Socrates Steering Committee to give donated International Business Machines Corp. computers to satellite libraries for use by students.
The IBM personal computers would give students access to library records and word processing at three centers near university housing.
The resolution — which has yet to be approved by the senate
—	calls for at least 90 of 250 donated computers to be set up in Marks Hall dormitory, Frank L. King Olympic Hall of Champions (West Dining Hall) and the Anna Bing Arnold Child Care Center north of campus.
IBM gave the university the computers as part of a three-year, $6 million equipment grant. The steering committee is administrating the distribution of the personal computers.
Each of the library satellites would have about 30 IBM PC-XT computers on which students could access records on the library's GEAC computer network, write papers and have them printed.
The resolution, authored by Michael Reilly, chairman of the senate academic affairs research action unit, wras referred to the academic affairs committee for research until next week's meeting, after Undergraduate Vice President Bret fausett said he had reservations about it.
Fausett said he had heard the grant was made primarily for the School of Engineering, and said he was worried that if 90 of
a total 250 computers were distributed outside the Engineering School, the university might come into conflict with IBM and jeopardize future grants.
But President Mike Singer assured Fausett that the university was given some control over where the computers are to be set up, and would not have made any distribution arrangement which would endanger its relationship with the corporation.
Graduate Vice President Sharon Dolezal agreed, saying, "They (IBM) gave over some of the right to make that decision."
Dolezal said the university would distribute the computers outside the engineering school in any case, and that by supporting the resolution the Senate would help students, rather than faculty, get some of the computers.
Reilly said about 100 of the computers already have been distributed to physics faculty'.
Donna Pachorek, senator for the School of Medicine, said medical students and faculty at the medical campus also need more computers for research.
The steering committee is taking petitions for the computers from around the university, Singer said.
Singer said the sites were chosen by the committee in "the areas where students are concentrated", noting that extra space at the university is at a premium.
He said the library satellite at the West Dining Hall, which will be located on the second floor of the building, would not interfere with any plans for use of the building as a dining facility-__________
