Zumberge fires LAS Dean Irwin Lieb
in May, 1984
myself in early 1984, I informed Dr. Lieb that I did not choose to have him continue as dean. He was allowed to submit a letter of resignation on May 11, 1984," Zumberge said. "By agreement, Dr. Pings and I deferred to him for such explanation as he saw fit.
"We several times extended his period of service while he was contemplating opportunities elsewhere. However, a conversation with him on Oct. 3 and a letter from him on Oct. 4 (this year) make it clear that I must make a change immediately."
When Lieb announced his resignation, he gave reasons of wanting to pursue his academic career as a philosophy professor here. However, several faculty members expressed in a Daily Trojan article on Sept. 10 that they felt Lieb was the victim of an administrative power struggle.
"Lieb got scrunched in a power struggle at this university," (Continued on page 2)
Secretly forced to step down

President James Zumberge fired Irwin Lieb as dean and vice president of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences Tuesday.
Cornelius Pings, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, personally issued a statement from Zumberge to the Daily Trojan. It began: "Effectively immediately Dr. Irwin C. Lieb has been relieved of all duties and terminated as vice president and dean of the College of Letters Arts and Sciences."
The action followed more than five months of speculation among some members of the university faculty that Lieb was being forced out of his job as head of the largest academic unit on campus.
When contacted by a Daily Trojan reporter late Tuesday, Lieb said he did not want to comment immediately on the release, but agreed to a future interview.
Lieb publicallv resigned from
the post, which he held for four years, last May. His resignation was scheduled to take effect next June.
In announcing Lieb's termination, however, Zumberge revealed that the dean was actually forced to resign a year earlier.
"After numerous discussions among Dr. Lieb, Dr. Pings and
Lottery premiere an unexpected success
43,000 lottery tickets sold at nearby 32nd St. Market

Lottery fever is gripping the state as millions of people flock to their local markets and newsstands to purchase instant-win tickets.
The rush for tickets has taken even the state lottery headquarters by surprise.
"We never expected such a large response," said Bill Seaton, director of public affairs for the lottery. "In the first 24 hours, 21.4 million lottery tickets were sold."
"Not only is that the largest amount of tickets sold for a single day,
'This thing has skyrocketed,' said Morrie Notrica, owner of The Original 32nd Street Market. 'We've sold 43,000 tickets since last Thursday and we're suppose to receive another shipment of 50,000 tomorrow.'
it also represents the highest amount of sales for a single week," Seaton said. "And that's just for the first day."
The pace has dropped off a little, but tickets are still being sold at the rate of about 10 million per day, Seaton said.
The lottery is rapidly becoming big business for local merchants, and the Original 32nd Street Market in University Village is no exception.
"This thing has skyrocketed," said Morrie Notrica, owner of The Original 32nd Street Market. "We've sold 43,000 tickets since last Thursday and we're suppose to receive another shipment of 50,000 tomorrow."
Notrica said that his store receives five cents for each ticket sold. "That five cents still dosen't cover my operating costs for stamping each ticket sold here with my store's address and phone number. There is a large manpower demand."
Notrica said the good thing about the lottery is that people are winning.
"We've already had quite a few $100 and $500 winners, in addition to all those who are winning the smaller prises of $2 and $5," Notrica said.
The smaller cash prizes can be redeemed immediately, but prize awards of $100 or more must be claimed through one of 12 lottery offices throughout the state. A winner may also claim a prize by mail.
"We have already received 600 claim forms from $5,000 winners." Seaton said. "Five thousand dollars is the largest instant-win prize available in this version of the game."
Mus Grove bought a ticket at the 32nd Street Market while he was paying for his groceries. He was pleasantly surprised when he won $100, and realized his groceries would not cost a dime.
"I didn't expect to win when I bought the ticket," Grove said. "The odds are too high. I just bought it for fun."
That reaction was common among people questioned after purchasing tickets. Most people don't expect to win.
Grove's winning ticket also automatically enters him in a grand prize drawing for a $2 million jackpot.
Rita Johnson, a community resident, bought her ticket with the change from her food shopping. "I only bought ore ticket. I'm curious to see what it's all about."
Joseph Henson, a sophomore at the university, said he bought a ticket because he would love to have the extra money. "I don't really expect to win. The odds are gigantic," Henson said. "The money would be a nice thing to have."
Bill Rand, a local resident, bought $20 worth of tickets. "It's worth

Army cadets ranked first in contest

The university's Army ROTC program earned a first place ranking for leadership and performance among all schools in California and Nevada during a rigorous cadet training program that took place last summer at Fort Lewis, Wash.
Among most colleges and universities west of the Mississippi River, the program placed in the top ten percent.
Each summer, over 3,500 Army cadets from colleges and universities in the western United States are sent to Fort Lewis to test their leadership skills and military knowledge. They usually go after their junior year.
Over 120 colleges and universities west of the Mississippi River, including 18 from California and Nevada, participated last summer.
This university was represented by 19 cadets in the six-week training program.
Three of the cadets received special recognition.
Matt Keener, Ted Wagner and Corey Bradley all placed first in their 35-man platoons. Keener and Wagner were also awarded first place out of their respective 350-man battalions and Bradley achieved second place in his.
The training program, called Camp Adventure, puts the cadets through mentally and physically challenging activities that place them in leadership positions.
