"I will forego my senior year at USC and turn pro," Seau said, looking very somber as he made the announcement. "I hope I can perform up there, at the next level, and make everyone

Milton Wolpin had Dr. Donald Huber in a class that he is now teaching to Huber's two children — Deborah and Donald, Jr.
"I like the class a lot," said Deborah Huber, a junior majoring in psychology and political science. "My dad thinks it's great!"
"The class is very interesting," said Donald Huber Jr., who is thinking about becoming a psychology major.

Seau, the Pacific 10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year, ends his two-year collegiate career with 107 tackles, 33 of them for loss of yards.
He was named a first team All-American at his outside linebacker position by The Sporting News and was voted the USC team's MVP this past season.
"Junior's had a great two years here," Smith said. "For me as a coach, he's been a model player in the class-
the class a couple of days ago.
"I just don't have a very good memory," said Wolpin. "But it was a pleasure hearing that I taught (Deborah's) father."
It was Deborah who told Wolpin that he had taught Donald, Sr.
"That was a trip," Wolpin said. "I feel very old, but it's nice."
Huber, who is now a successful dentist with his own group practice in Thousand Oaks, recalls his former professor.
"He was great. Out of all my psychology professors, he was one of the most interesting," said Huber, who received his bachelors degree in psychology before entering the dental school.
"From What my kids tell me, he hasn't changed, just got older," he said.
Both students said they enjoy the class, particularly because of the topics that Wolpin discusses.

"The decision is for his best interest," Smith added. "My only regret is that he has not finished his degree. But he's guaranteed me that he will finish his degree here at 'SC over the next couple springs and summers."
Seau, who felt comfortable with his decision two weeks ago, cited financial reasons as the primary thing that influenced him.
"It's for my family and I feel that it's going to be a great benefit to us," he said.

"We discuss things that we can use everyday," Donald Jr. said.
"The class has really given me an insight," Deborah said. "We discuss issues from procrastination to self-esteem so that we learn how to help ourselves."
Wolpin has engaged the class in small self-help groups to help the students leam to deal with their own problems instead of turning to professionals for help.
"I want them (the students) to discover that they can help themselves while also helping other people," Wolpin said.
Hub*r, however, remembers a class assignment that involved the students going to institutions for the group therapy.
"There was one time I remember when me and another student went to see individuals at a V.A. hospital in San Vicente,

Taped film may offer answers

Two video tapes, capturing Wednesday's confrontation between divestment demonstrators and University Security behind Bovard Auditorium from different angles, may be the key to determining whether or not excessive force was used by officers in controlling the students.
One angle — shot by Carolyn Koslen, a senior majoring in cinema — shows the incident from within the group of students. It was taken on 8 millimeter film and then was duplicated to video.
Security's angle shows the scuffle from the other side of a line of officers which stood between the protestors and the door leading to the board room where university trustees met. Security's version has audio and demonstrators can be heard chanting, "Free South Africa," while officers can he heard yelling, "Clear the alley."
Koslen is scheduled to meet todav with James Dennis, vice president of student affairs, to show him her video.
She said she will suggest to Dennis that an officer, seen jabbing a protestor on her film, be fired.
Dennis could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Both videos show officers holding their batons at both ends in an attempt to push students back through the auditorium's emergency exit.
University Security Executive Director Steven Ward, who reviewed security's video with a Daily Trojan reporter Thursday, said he did not see officers use inappropriate action.

Progressives claim end of Communist power is not enough
MOSCOW — Communist maverick Boris N. Yeltsin and progressive activists said Thursday the party’s decision to renounce its legal claim on power is not enough to end Soviet political repression and centralized control.
“It is necessary to eliminate (Communist) party organizations in the army, the police, the KGB, the courts, in all the state institutions,” said Yuri Mityunov, a spokesman for one would-be opposition party, the Democratic Union.
