Second term of NCAA football ban to be served by university
By Steven Church
Staff Writer
Although USC enjoyed great football success and television coverage this year, the university has decided to serve the second year of a two-year ban from television imposed by the NCAA in 1982 for rules infractions.
Virgil Lubberden, associate director of athletics, said the university will lose about $1 million in 1985 from a lack of football television rights.
"We've exhausted all avenues for fighting it," Lubberden said to the Los Angeles Times. "We will have to accept the NCAA ruling and take our lumps."
A ban on televised live football games was placed on the university in April 1982 by the NCAA as punishment for helping players sell game tickets.
The first term was served in the fall of 1983, but a delay in a court case challenging the ban allowed games to be aired this past season.
Last June, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a decision against
the NCAA made by U.S. Federal District Judge Juan Bur-ciaga. At that time, NCAA schools that were penalized in similar ways during 1983 had the option of appearing in tele-

But last November, Burciaga clarified the decision, saying that the NCAA could ban schools in the conference from live televised games.

imposed, the department lost about $1 million in TV rights. Lubberden said he expects it to be about the same this year.
"Based on the past, I think we would normally have about $1.3 million in revenue," Lubberden said. "We are losing most of this, but we will still have about $300,000 from the Pac-10 funds."
Every year, the athletic department receives approximately $300,000 as part of its share of television rights paid to the Pac-10. Along with revenue brought in from other games, this amount makes up part of the annual athletic budget.
Lubberden said the loss will have to be made up through other sources, such as gifts and cutbacks, but even then they may have to borrow money from the university's general fund and repay it in the next few years.
The projected 1985 athletic budget will be about $12 million.

University boasts largest foreign enrollment figure
By Lisa Lapin
Staff Writer
A higher percentage of foreign students are enrolled at USC than at any other four-year institution in the United States — a figure that has remained steady over the past 10 years, despite a national decline in international student enrollment.
About 14.5 percent of the university's total Fall 1984 enrollment was comprised of non-immigrant visa holders — foreign students who will be returning home after completing their education here.
While the university's foreign student population grew by only nine people — from 3,752 in 1983 to 3,761 in 1984 — foreign student enrollment has declined nationally, according to a statistical profile from the Office for International Students and Scholars.
The national decline is attributed to the strength of the U.S. dollar overseas, meaning greater tuition costs for students from abroad.
Despite last year's 11 percent tuition increase, foreign students are still attracted to this university, with a total of 113 countries represented.
"USC has an international reputation," said Elena Garate, assistant director of the Office for International Students and Scholars.
"There are a number of USC graduates in government and leadership positions who are spreading the word to relatives and citizens in their respective countries," Garate said.
The Southern California location is also important in attracting students from abroad, Garate said.
"It is an atmosphere where you can be different without sticking out as the only foreign student. They can blend in here."
The university's interest in increasing foreign enrollment began in the 1930s and 1940s, with the recruiting efforts of then president Rufus von KleinSmid.
"He envisioned USC as an international university and sought students from other countries," said Garate, who estimated this university has dominated the United States in terms of international enrollment for the last 10 years.

The Board of Trustees has approved an agreement to build a $100 million medical complex, in conjunction with National Medical Enterprises, Inc., on the university's Health Sciences campus.
The facility will include a 275-bed teaching hospital.

of 1986 and will be completed by the end of 1988.
In December, the board had passed a resolution that supported construction of a medical center in principle, but decided to study the proposal before committing itself to the partnership with NME.
NME is the nation's second-largest health services company. It owns, operates or manages 444 hospitals across the country.
Under the agreement, NME will fund, build and manage the complex. The university will use its faculty at the School of Medicine for medical policies and the hospital staff.
In December, university President James Zumberge said the university's chief financial responsibility would be to purchase the land for the complex.
Zumberge predicted that the complex would cost approximately $150 million. The president was adamant that a partnership with NME would be the only

"Our relationship with NME, a corporation with extensive experience in health care management, will allow USC to continue to improve its medical program, particularly in regard to its ability to retain and attract quality faculty members."
Plans for the complex include a medical office building, a diagnostic and treatment center, a 75-room hotel and a parking structure.
way the university could afford the project.
Under the plan — as it was written in December — the university will receive $500,000 annually from NME, which will reflect a return on the initial investment on the land, Zumberge said.
The medical complex will be governed by an 11-member board, with two representatives from the university, six from
NME and two from the medical faculty.
Zumberge said the university hopes to influence the quality of the facility through its position on the board.
"NME's affiliation with USC marks an important step in bringing together the management skills and resources of private enterprise with the medical expertise and knowledge of a leading university," said Richard Earner, chairman and
chief executive officer of NME, in a prepared statement.
"The medical school faculty is very pleased with this opportunity," said Joseph Van Der Meulen, vice president for health affairs and acting dean of the School of Medicine, in a prepared statement.
"We have been one of the few medical schools in the country without its own university-con-trolled hospital, and we feel that this new facility will provide a
The hospital — a tertiary care facility — will also enable the faculty to conduct research, and is also designed to provide a university-controlled teaching hospital for students at the School of Medicine.
The diagnostic and treatment center will provide both inpatient and outpatient services — including the areas of diagnostic radiology, cardiology and pulmonary function testing.
Van Der Meulen said faculty members will continue to serve within the Los Angeles County hospital system, but added that he expects the new facility to strengthen the relationship with County-USC Medical Center.
The university hopes the complex will become a regional referral center and ,thus, is providing the hotel for outpatients, families of patients and visiting physicians.
The university and NME will hold a joint press conference today at 10:30 a.m. on the Health Sciences campus.
