By Robbie Asghar

Olympics Week, a series of activities and lectures based on the university's involvement in the Summer Games, begins Monday in an effort to increase campus enthusiasm and
Police still looking for murder suspect
A man being sought for the Monday murder of a non-university male has not been apprehended and there have been no new developments in the case, said authorities from the Southwest Division of the Los Angeles Police Department.
The assailant was described by police as a 25- or 26-year-old black maie, about
5	feet 8 inches tall, with a medium build and no facial hair. He was last seen late Monday morning in the University Village j^rea wearing a red jacket and blue shorts, authorities said.
He is wanted for stabbing and shooting the victim at the victim's 44 St. James Place apartment.
University Security Lt. Mel Stinnette said the incident seems to be a one-on-one conflict, and there is little need for students to worry that the assailant has not been found.
participation in the Olympic preparations, said Gigi Fairchild, chairwoman of the Student Senate’s Olympic Committee.
The week's events are being coordinated by the Student Senate and the intramural-recrea-tion department, and include various athletic competitions and lectures by representatives of organizations such as the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee and ABC-TV.
"Our purpose is to help establish Olympic spirit on campus and get as much out of the Olympics as possible," Fairchild said, adding that the level of enthusiasm on campus surrounding the Games is relatively low.
Other area colleges such as UCLA have already held successful Olympics activities, she said.
"It's really an interesting phenomenon," she said. "Most other campuses are really enthusiastic."
Fairchild said she hopes the Olympics Week might help decrease apathy at this university.
The week's activities will begin Monday with a five-kilometer "torch relay," sponsored by the intramural-recreation department, university food services and the staff of Olympic Village. The relay is open to all students, faculty and staff. Coed groups of five can enter the re-(Continued on page 3)

Tuesday’s child full of woe?
Glenn to make announcement

With the pivotal Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses over and George McGovern announcing his withdrawal from the campaign. Sen. Gary Hart, former Vice President Walter Mondale and the Rev. Jesse Jackson are expected to continue their efforts for the Democratic presidential nomination, but Sen. John Glenn will make a major announcement this afternoon about the future of his candidacy.
John Zimmerman, director of issues, research and analysis for the Glenn for President office in Washington, D.C., said Glenn will hold a news conference before 1 p.m. PST to announce his plans for the remainder of the Democratic campaign.
"Glenn might drop out of the race," said Joseph Cerrell, a university political science instructor and director of Cerrell Associates, a political analysis firm. "But then, he might not. All we know is that he is going to make some kind of announcement about his candidacy."
Zimmerman would not comment about the tone of the announcement, but said it has been difficult for any political observer to predict what will happen in the race.
Hart continued his winning streak in the race by scoring victories in the Florida, Massachusetts and Rhode Island primaries. Mondale regained some of his footing in the Democratic contests — after he lost three key New England primaries to Hart — by earning primary victories in Georgia and Alabama.
In the four states where caucuses were held, tabulation procedures have been difficult and final results from Washington, Nevada, Oklahoma and Haw'aii were not available Wednesday.
According to an Associated
Press release, the Hawaii delegates have elected to go uncommitted to the Democratic convention in San Francisco this summer. The Associated Press showed Hart leading in the Washington and Nevada caucuses and running in a dead heat with Mondale in Oklahoma.
Glenn continued in his efforts by placing third in Alabama and Florida and fourth in Georgia, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Jackson fared well despite being chastised for his remarks
about Jews prior to the primaries and placed third in Georgia and Rhode Island, fourth in Alabama and Florida and fifth in Massachusetts.
George Sweeting, director of policy and research for the McGovern for President office in Washington, D.C., said McGovern has formally ended all active campaigning for 1984.
Sweeting said he thinks the former 1972 presidential candidate may still have an active role in the formation of a platform for the Democratic Party, but he (Continued on page 2)
Senate restructures programming fee
By Sheldon Ito

The Student Senate unanimously passed a bylaw amendment on Wednesday that restructures the system that determines how the $14 student programming fee is spent. The new programming system, called the Student Senate Programming Board, will go into effect next fall.
The system basically breaks the Campus-Wide Entertainment Assembly into seven different committees — concerts, lectures, performing arts, academic, special events, nightclub and faculty-staff — each of which answers directly to a program board chairman. The chairman of each committee will form the board of directors.
The four minority assemblies — Asian Pacific, Black, Chicano and International Students — will operate as separate entities with their own funding. The chairmen of each minority assembly will form the Inter-Ethnic Executive Board.
The new structure also calls for a Recreation Board, consisting of four committees — club sport, interest club, facility and equipment, and promotions.
Each week, the executive committee, composed of a chairman, vice chairman and finance vice chairman; a faculty-staff representative; a staff adviser; the board of directors; the Inter-Ethnic Executive Board and the chairman of the Recreation Board will meet to discuss and vote on proposed student programs.
Becky Chang, chairwoman of the Programming Team (the current programming system), said she thinks the new system will promote coordination of different programs, accountability for poorly planned and executed programs and ensure efficient allocation of student programming money.
The bylaw was modified to some extent during Wednesday's meeting by senators who said the proposed system put too much power in the hands of the programming board chairwoman.
A confusing discussion ensued as friendly amendments to the proposal that increased the influence of the senate in certain Programming Board decisions were accepted, repealed, and in some cases,
