Financial aid grievances will be aired at noontime rally
By Michael Cary
Staff Writer
The Student Senate is holding a rally today at noon in front of Tommy Trojan for students who are "Mad as Hell” about financial aid.
"The rally should be therapeutic for the student body," said Phil Clement, senate vice president. He projected that 500 students would attend the rally.
Clement will kick off the rally with an introduction, and there will be opportunities for students to share their financial aid horror stories. To solicit legitimate financial aid cases, students wishing to express their financial aid woes will be screened behind the platform.
Buttons will be distributed at the rally which read, "Dean Merante, (of admissions, financial aid, registration and records) I'm mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore."
Last Thursday, Clement said he distributed about 500 buttons, and students have returned to get more for friends.
"We're the advocate for students' rights because they (financial aid) won't simply recognize the public relations aspect," said Bruce Clausen, senate president. "If everything is hunky-dory, then people should know.''
"We're looking for reciprocity’," Clausen said. "We're interested in students as human beings, not just figures."
Clausen and Clement met with Merante for more than an hour on Monday to discuss the "USC Students' Financial Aid Bill of Rights" that will be
distributed at the rally for students, faculty and staff in attendance.
Clausen said Merante agreed to the substance of the senate's statement. "He iMerante) read and agrees they are worthwhile goals
Clausen also presented the list of concerns to President James Zumberge.
The list, called '"USC Students' Financial Aid Bill of Rights." states:
"We, the students of USC. request from the financial aid office:
•	That a complete, on-time financial aid application receive priority in processing.
•	That the time from the submission of a complete financial aid application to the finished aid package be no more than six weeks
•	That an adequate staff of counselors be maintained at all times.
•	That telephone calls to the financial aid office be promptly returned, and that there will be a five-minute maximum wait on hold for a counselor.
•	That the financial aid office retain business hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.. and not return to half days.
•	That the financial aid office increase working hours in emergencies, such as those we are experiencing now.
•	That the financial aid office simplify and reduce the number of forms to be filled out for financial aid, and that the financial aid deadlines be extensively published.
•	That a special effort be made to handle the problems of students on Work Study who need

CIA test postponed after student protest
By Trish O'Kane
The CIA canceled a test for applicants from the Southern California region at UCLA on Saturday, signaling an apparent victory for USC and UCLA student protesters who had threatened to disrupt the examination.
The incident was one in a series of protests against the CIA on college campuses, which began at UC Santa Barbara three weeks ago when 38 students were arrested.
Approximately 30 students from UCLA and USC Students for Peace and Justice met at 7:30 a.m. and prepared to disrupt the test by making noise with pots, pans and musical instruments.
They found a notice on the doors of the testing building indicating that the Professional Applicant Test Batter}' — a seven-hour test given to all CIA applicants by the Educational Testing Service — had been canceled.

Rose bowl, T-shirts, more money. . .
Excitement and chaos has pounded the Trojan Bookstore since Saturday, when thousands scurried to purchase Rose Bowl paraphernalia after the football team's 17-13 win over UCLA and Jan. 1 invitation to Pasadena.
A shipment of 1988 USC Rose Bowl T-shirts and sweatshirts arrived Friday at 3 p.m. from Collegiate Pacific West in Long Beach.
The shirts were originally sent "at risk" — that is, the university would have sent the shipment back the next afternoon if the team did not earn its spot in the Rose Bowl.
But after the team's victory Saturday, the shirts sold like beer in the Sahara
and were sold-out within 13 minutes, said Jack Arnold, bookstore manager.
"We knew we were going to win," Arnold said. "We really believed it. I knew it the week before. I felt good about this football team."
"I could've gotten anything for my T-shirts last Saturday," said Janet Bird, gift department manager. "We've sold about
3,000	shirts since the game."
T-shirt sales are so intense that "people are fighting for them," said Peggy Wid-jaja, a sophomore majoring in biology' and an employee of the store.
The bookstore "was packed . . . everyone immediately came in after the game and bought what they could. We're literally selling out of boxes — there's no time to fold them and put them in the cubicles," said Sandy Constan, a sophomore (Continued on page 7)
