■wosesm mm/sups ee£M(Ktis (M3w trojan Volume CXI, Number 24 University of Southern California Wednesday, February 14, 1990 Police officers investigate the van that was hit by a falling object on Tuesday afternoon on the Harbor Freeway, near the Exposition Boulevard exit. One person was killed in the incident. Harbor Freeway motorist killed From the Associated Press LOS ANGELES — A motorist traveling on the Harbor Freeway was killed Tuesday when a large object, possibly a brick or a rock, crashed down on his car from an overpass, police said. The incident occurred about 1:20 p.m. on the southbound side of the Harbor Freeway just south of downtown, authorities said. "All I know is it's on the freeway and it looks like a large object has fallen from somewhere onto the person," police Lt. Bruce Hagerty said. It wasn't immediately clear if the object fell or was thrown. Hagerty said only one person was believed killed. The California Highway Patrol closed the freeway's two fast lanes as homicide detectives investigated at the scene. Divestment rally protests use of force By Christa Hohmann Staff Writer More than 200 university students gathered around Tommy Trojan on Tuesday to protest the use of force against students by University Security last Wednesday which left two students and three officers injured at Bovard Administration Building. James Dennis, vice-president of student affairs, said Tuesday that University President James Zumberge has initiated the process of forming a group comprising faculty, students and administration officials to examine the incident. "All of us are curious about what took place and are concerned. We want to understand the facts," said Dennis, who helped break up the scuffle. Six speakers, five of whom were university students, denounced the violence that took place when about 30 demonstrators attempted to enter the board of trustees meeting at Bovard. Harry Brighouse, a spokesperson for the USC Divestment Coalition, urged students to send in form letters to the board of trustees protesting the recent events and to "join hands" and walk to Parking Structure A to write a letter to security, "deploring violence and asking for a public policy against it." David Pasino, a freshman majoring in public administration and urban development, spoke on Councilman Robert Farrell's behalf. Pasino, who sits on the youth advisory council, urged protestors to look beyond the acts of violence and advocate change. "Change in South Africa is something that is not just a dream, but a reality," Pasino said. Zeph Makgetla, a member of the now legal African National Congress, was present to speak out against apartheid and to urge students to support the coalition and its stand on divestment.

SDorts______________________________ 33 By Michael Utley Assistant City Editor Three special-interest student groups criticized the Office of Financial Aid at this month's senate-sponsored "Speakout" on Tuesday for not considering non-tuition expenses when calculating need-based aid. Several students representing the Cinema and Dentistry schools — as well as one representing out-of-state students — complained to Tom King, associate dean of admissions and financial aid, that their circumstances require them to spend a great deal more money than the average student, either on technical equipment or travel. "USC does not take these things into account," said Suzan Fruchtman, a sophomore from Florida majoring in cinema. "A lot of people might not want to come here from the East Coast because it's so expensive." About 15 dental students, led by grad- uate senator Kimberly Nguyen, showed up to air their complaints. Cline said that dental students must buy approximately $8,000 worth of medical equipment, which is not considered when calculating financial need. In addition, their annual tuition averages $22,200. Many of the dental students said they are left with little or no money to pay for living expenses like food and rent.

Not much, if you consider that campus radio station KSCR has made a habit of changing its name and, from the looks of things, may have to change it again. While glancing through a call-letter listings book last week, KSCR marketing director Raymond So noticed that an FM station in Minnesota was using the same identification — only theirs stands for "Star City Radio" instead of - -'rt-'* "Southern California Radio. The inadvertent plagiarism has not upset the hard-luck campus radio station, though, where name changes are common. Last year the station called itself "SC-53." The year before that it was "Jam It to the Left." And this year the buzz word is "KSCR — The Underground."
