Peter Ueberroth, who turned a $150 million profit from the 1984 Olympic Games, was Time magazine's 1984 Man of the Year and has kept a high profile as commissioner of Major League Baseball, was elected Wednesday to the university's Board of Trustees.
The President's Office announced his appointment on Monday.
“His nomination was greeted with great enthusiasm," said President James Zumberge of the unanimous vote for Ueberroth to a three-year term at last Wednesday's board meeting.
Zumberge said Ueberroth's primary involvement with the university had been through his work as president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, of which Zumberge was also a member.
“His staff worked closely with our staff to help during the planning years, while we worked on making USC the swimming venue and the largest of the three Olympic villages.
"(Ueberroth) has a natural connection with the university. He has as much understanding about
what USC is all about as any new board member," Zumberge said.
Following his five-year term as president of the LAOOC, Ueberroth assumed the position of commissioner of Major League Baseball last fall, succeeding Bowie Kuhn. As the sixth Commissioner of Baseball, Ueberroth, 48, works out of the leagues' main office in New York. Zumberge said Ueberroth's addition to the board is in keeping with its expansion policies.
"We're always on the lookout to expand the geographic distribution of our board," Zumberge said. "We have members from major population centers across the country, including New York and Chicago. Of course, we'll always have our major concentration of trustees in "Southern California."
The current chairman of the Board of Trustees, George Scharffenberger, is the chief executive officer of New York-based City Investing Company. William Wrigley, another trustee, runs his family business from Chicago.

King Hall's Cafe Eighty-Four restaurant will embark on a weeklong promotional campaign featuring free food and samples of Cherry Coke in front of Tommy Trojan to encourage students to sign up for meal plans.
Sue Hawkins, general manager at Cafe Eighty-Four, said preparations for the event, which will feature free samples of pizza, pasta and Chinese food, began this weekend and the sampling
will take place between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
"We opened in March (of last year) and didn't really have a grand opening," said Eric Roberson, production services manager at the dining facility, "so (this promotion) is intended to create the same type of attention a grand opening would.
"We're actually promoting our pizza delivery service and want to create an awareness that Cafe Eighty-Four is here."
The restaurant wants to boost overall patronage with
the promotion because many students are unaware that it exists or don't know what is offered on the menu, Hawkins said.
"Commons has been there for over 25 years and people know about it," she added, "but we're way over here by the swimming pools in an unmarked building."
Roberson said he wants students to sample the "tidbits of food" that will be available and realize that Cafe Eighty-Four is actually four restau-(Continued on page 6)
Handgun confiscated after security pursuit
By Dana Glad
Assistant City Editor
A foot pursuit through the center of campus after Saturday's Homecoming game ended at the University Hilton, where security officers and police arrested a robbery suspect who had allegedly been carrying a loaded .22 caliber Magnum revolver, said John Lewis, a senior security officer.
Darryl Washington, 20, was arrested with one cylinder containing six rounds of ammunition on his person, although a handgun loaded with an additional six rounds was later discovered under a freezer unit behind the hotel, Lewis said.
Washington and his brother, George, 25, who was arrested later Saturday on Flower Street, had both allegedly been attempting to steal purses from people in the crowd as they were leaving the Homecoming game.
Both are currently being held at the Los Angeles Police Department's Southwest Division jail on $100,000 bail each.
The amount of bail is high because the armed suspect had threatened to shoot security officers if he was apprehended, Lewis said.
Because of their dress, they are believed to be associated with the local Hoover Crips Gang, Lewis said.

Afghan resistance leaders to speak today on campus
By Joan Whitney
Staff Writer
Two members of the National Islamic Front of Afghanistan, a resistance organization working against the Soviet occupation in Afghanistan, will be speaking in Hancock Auditorium at 4 p.m. today to discuss the problems presently plaguing their country.
Pir Gailani, the founder of NIFA, and Ikram Gran, a political officer of the organization, will present their viewpoints on the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, and a video will be shown of the fighting in their country. The program is sponsored by the Trojan College Republicans and the Program Board.
Gailani and Gran were invited by the White House to tour the United States and speak about their revolt against the Soviet invasion.
Gailani and Gran have already appeared on "60 Minutes," documentaries on ABC and NBC, and on KABC's Michael Jackson radio show yesterday.
Gailani is the religious leader of the majority of Afghanistan Sunni Moslems, which number 12-13 million. He also has followers in Pakistan, India and the Middle East, said Lary Oren, a member of the Trojan College Republicans.
According to a press release issued by the Trojan College Republicans, NIFA was founded by Gailani in 1979 to oppose and overthrow the Communist regime in Kabul.
