Primate expert
Jane Goodall to speak about baby chimps
By Tracy Imes
Staff Writer
Today's occupational therapy symposium may be the start of a partnership between the university and the Jane Goodall Institute for primate research, allowing graduate students to study the behavior of chimpanzees and humans.
Noted primatologist Jane Goodall will speak in Norris Cinema Theater on the topic of "Independent and Interdependent Occupations of Chimpanzee Infants and Mothers," according to Florence Clark, chairwoman of the occupational therapy department.
Goodall has waived her normal $15,000 speaking fee because she is interested in the program, Clark said.
"I sent materials from a class I teach using her book, Chimps From Gombe, and our applications of her work intrigued her," Clark said. "We may be able to set up an internship program allowing graduate students to work with primates.
"This marks the beginning of what could be an ongoing collaboration," she said. "The Goodall Institute is donating its time because Jane is interested in the goals of occupational science. She was impressed with the work of our graduate students."
dark said the symposium is a major event to promote the occupational science department, which will offer a doctoral program in September.

Senators cut grad students’ program fund
Their budget reduced 18% in angry, divided meeting
By Chris Eftychiou
Staff Writer
The Student Senate programming fee budget was rejected Wednesday by a 12-8 vote in a meeting described by senators as the most heated they had ever seen.
Of the dozen who voted against the budget, eight were graduate senators, some of whom said Thursday that the budget overlooked needs of graduate students, and that the senate is divided along graduate / undergraduate lines.
Steven Webber, a graduate senator representing the Law Center, said the meeting was a culmination of misunderstandings between undergraduate and graduate senators.
"Undergraduates have to realize we're older and have different responsibilities and interests," Webber said.
The budget for graduate students was reduced 18.5 percent, but the budget for every other program was increased an average of 16.51 percent.
"Why are the graduates getting less funding?" Webber asked.
The graduate budget, or Graduate Program Board rebate, is determined by a formula in the student government constitution.
According to the formula, the funds allocated to graduate programs are proportional to the number of graduate students registered for the next term.
When the budget proposal was formed, the exact number of graduate students enrolled for fall was unavailable. Graduate senators therefore

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — A la the film “Poltergeist,” workers digging a new road for a housing development have sparked controversy by uncovering an Ohlone Indian burial ground with 130 graves 1,000 years old.
Patrick Orozco, an Ohlone descendant, said he may file a lawsuit against the city.

USC residences rife with rats, students say
Housing Services hands out glue traps

Mice have invaded university housing this year, infiltrating the walls, kitchen cabinets and bedrooms of some apartments.
"I lived here last year and we had roaches, but never mice or rats like we do this year," said Yvonne Phillips, a junior majoring in business and a resident of
Cardinal Gardens Apartments.
The rodent problem is not a new one for students such as Phillips, who spotted vermin in her apartment as early as last September.
"During the first week of school my roommates caught a mouse," she said. "After that there wasn't anything noticeable."
"We had a bad mouse problem last semester," said Karima Lalji, a senior majoring in business and another Cardinal Gardens resident. "They were just around. But one day I saw five at the same time. I was in the living room and I
saw one. Then I saw four more right behind that one."
The problem is not just limited to Cardinal Gardens. The rodents are a nuisance in other buildings, such as Hill view Apartments on Severance Street.
"I was sitting here reading and I saw something across the floor. It was the first time I saw them," said Hill view resident Patricia Mariani, a sophomore majoring in political science. "Visions of rabies were dancing in my head. So I got frying pans from the kitchen and tried hitting them across the head, but they (See Rodents, page 12)

Disabled athlete’s recovery: A profile in courage

Grinning from behind his Ray-Bans, with a towel around his waist and the breeze ruffling his light brown hair, Jason Rothbard fits the stereotypical image of a tanned, toned California man.
It's not hard to picture the university sophomore on the beach near his San Marino home, playing volleyball, surfing or cycling.
But other images from the past 15 months don't fit the stereotype:
e Rothbard falling two stories from a rain-slicked balcony and landing on his head, cracking the pavement and his skull as his
fraternity brothers looked on in horror.
That was in September 1987. Rothbard had just begun his sophomore year at Colgate University, where he was a member of the swim team, the crew team and Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
The accident occurred during a fraternity party about 3 or 4 a.m., after Roth-bard had gone to bed in his room.
"One of my brothers was outside screaming for bail money for another brother who had got arrested," Rothbard said Wednesday. "Being the good Samaritan that I am, I climbed out onto the balcony, and as I was passing the money (See Rothbard, page 2)
