"The liberal arts will be the core because this is where we give students the opportunity to expand their minds and horizons. This is where you learn what it is to be a human being," he said.
Zumberge explained that it is through the support of government leaders that universities will be able to improve their educational systems.
"Members of the government (who) support education in California have no equals. They have provided scholarships that have made it possible for untold numbers to further their educations," Zumberge said.
"What you are doing has been a tremendous help," Zumberge said to California State Senator Gary Hart, who was in the audience. "I just wanted to pub-

Suspect to be arraigned
Burglary, possible rape cited
By Frank Buckley
Staff Writer
A man thought to be involved in as many as 44 burglaries and a rape in the neighborhood of the university' since Aug. 1 is expected to be arraigned today.
Detective Robert Wade of University Security said the man is not a suspect in the Sept. 16 rape near the Stardust Apartments.
Wade said the 22-year-old non-student was arrested near 27th Street and Magnolia late Thursday night after he was seen carrying a television down the street by two area residents. The unidentified residents were university students who saw the door of a neighbor's home open, though no one was home.
"I guess they put two and two together," Wade said. "They saw the door open and they saw the guy walking down the street with the TV."
The students caught up with the suspect, described as black, about six feet tall and weighing about 180 pounds. They held him until security arrived, Wade said.
Wade said the man may have committed up to 44 burglaries and a rape, with most of the crimes taking place around Ellendale Place between Adams Boulevard and 29th Street. Wade said stereo equipment, televisions, computers and money were some of the things taken.
He added, however, that linking the suspect to the 44 burglaries and the rape is his optimistic analysis of the situation. "I'm looking at a crystal ball," Wade said.
He said that after investigators compile all of the
physical evidence against the suspect, "we'll realistically tie him to 10 or 12 (burglaries)."
A Los Angeles Police Department detective working on the case told Wade the suspect is not admitting to anything.
Consequently, detectives will have to present physical evidence, such as fingerprints, to link the suspect to the crimes committed before Thursday night.
"We're checking his prints against the other burglaries to see if it's the same guy," said Claude Woods, a detective at the LAPD's Southwest Division. He refused to identify the suspect.
Woods said fingerprints gathered from universi-ty-area burglary scenes in which the burglar used the same method of operation are being checked to see if they match with the suspect in custody. "By Monday, we'll know if he's involved," Woods said.
Wade said the suspect allegedly entered homes and apartments through open windows, burglarized the homes, and left through front doors Wade cautioned that the method is not unique, but said the sudden increase in crime in the area and descriptions of the suspect from victims point to the 22-vear-old.
In one Adams Boulevard apartment complex there were no burglaries "in months" prior to August. But suddenly, Wade said, around Aug. 1 there were six reports of burglaries there within two weeks. A man fitting the description of the suspect was seen during some of the crimes.

At the first annual Asian Pacific American Support Group awards dinner held Thursday at the downtown Hyatt Regency, President James Zumberge said he would commit the next few years to the enhancement of undergraduate education so that "the quality of USC will be improved."
Zumberge was the keynote speaker at the dinner, which was held to encourage greater participation of Asian Pacific American students and alumni in university-wide and community activities.
"The University of Southern California is on the threshold of a new era. Over the years people have come to depend on us/' he said.
"We're going to build on the past.
"We can say that we have reached high ground. It's been a long hard struggle, but the climb has just begun.
"The peak we are at will require a special effort, but we are now ready for that final assault," Zumberge said.
"Above all we are taking a special interest in undergraduate studies. The freshmen class must be guaranteed the best we can offer," he said.
Included in his plans for improving undergraduate education is a commitment to restructure Doheny library so that it may better serve the number of undergraduate students.
"Doheny was designed to accommodate about half of the undergraduate students we have now. We have made a commitment to make sure that Doheny will be brought up to meet (pre-

The first annual Richard G. Brown Memorial Award, commemorating the death of the former Inter-Fraternity Council president, was presented to Ed Bushor, president of the Sigma Nu fraternity, last spring for his outstanding scholarship and leadership in the Greek community.
Bushor, 21, is a senior majoring in finance and real estate and minoring in philosophy. He has an overall grade point average of 3.7 at the university.
Bushor is undergraduate vice president of the Finance Association, senior representative for the Senior Development Committee and a university tour guide.
"This award was really emotional. . . .it was the biggest award I have ever won in my life," Bushor said.
Bushor said one of the main reasons he received the award is because of his work toward a more unified Greek system.
Bushor said friends have told him he has many of Brown's personality traits, which gives him a strong emotior.al attachment to winning the award.
The award was established by the Greek Affairs Office and the IFC to honor Brown, who died in a car accident in July, 1984. Suggested by the IFC and Brown's parents, and sponsored by
