The Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity was officially suspended from the university Thursday at a hearing that confirmed charges of hazing and allowing minors to drink alcohol. The house will be allowed back Aug. 1, 1993.
The fraternity's charter was revoked by the fraternity's national office.
A three-person Student Conduct panel decided that the university would no longer recognize the house and held that the fraternity had violated hazing and alcohol policies enforced by the university.
The panel stated that pledges consumed excessive amounts of alcohol and were not provided with adequate amounts of sleep and that a pledge was injured when he attempted to assist an-
other pledge who had collapsed during the fraternity's Tradition Week.
The panel found these activities in violation of several sections of the Student Conduct Code.
The sanctions imposed by the panel include not only the re-establishment policies but also require an additional year of probation upon the fraternity's (See Sammy, page 2)

Rape suspect enters pleas of not guilty

The 25-year-old suspect arrested Tuesday in connection with the kidnaping and rape of two women in Los Angeles County pleaded not guilty to charges Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Richard Nichols was handcuffed and confined to a glass booth for the entire proceeding, expressionless as Judge Candice Beason read off the list of charges.
Nichols is charged with three counts of kidnaping, two counts of forced oral copulation, five counts of rape and two counts of attempted second-degree robbery.
Nichols was arrested in connection with the rape of a 24-year-old university student, Los Angeles Police Department officials said.
The student was abducted Friday at the intersection of Flower and 38th streets and taken down the Harbor Freeway to El Segundo Boulevard, where she was raped in a secluded area, police said.
LAPD detectives and Los Angeles County Sheriffs deputies also named Nichols as a suspect in the Sept. 26 kidnaping and rape of a juvenile near El Camino College in Torrance.
Nichols was named as a suspect in a third case, in which a woman was abducted and released Sept. 26 after telling her attacker she was having her period, LAPD detectives said.
Nichols was identified in a police lineup by the university student and the juvenile.
LAPD is conducting a joint investigation with the sheriff's department into all three incidents.
Nichols was arrested when University Security officers notified LAPD after spotting his Ford Explorer parked at his mother's house on the 600 block of Vernon Avenue.

USC breaks a sweat due to record temps

Angelenos scrambled to beat the heat Thursday as thermometers registered a record-high 107 degrees, the hottest day of the season in the city since 1977, said Fritz Coleman, head of weather for KNBC Channel 4.
Thursday's heat broke the previous season-high record of 101 degrees and kept students out of the Lyon Center, university officials said. Students also skipped financial aid appointments, but Counselor Catherine Graham said it
made no difference.
"No air-conditioning during a definite record-breaker — workers are listless," she said.
Wednesday night marked another record high when temperatures never sank below 75 degrees.
But the weather produced a lucrative day at the Grill — frozen yogurt sales were definitely booming.
Freshmen Morgan Richter and Laura Kierlan, who both major in filmic writing, agreed on one thing.
"Yogurt is cooler than Cheez-its."
