The Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity has been found in violation of nine sections of the Student Conduct Code the University Review Panel has decided.
The panel has removed university recognition of the fraternity until Aug. 1, 1995. After the fall 1995 semester, TEP may petition for re-establishment of a chapter provided that no student who was a member or pledge during the spring 1992 semester be allowed to join the chapter or have any contact with it.
The fraternity was cited for a number of violations that occurred during a Feb. 21 party, including failure to comply with university officials, unauthorized use of alcohol, disorderly or lewd conduct and knowingly violating terms of disciplinary sanctions previously imposed by the university.

Rabbi leaving Jewish center
By Elaine Pan
Staff Writer
After a year of work with the university's Jewish community, Rabbi Ari Hier, director of the Hillel Jewish Center, will leave his position at the end of August to work for a position with an orthodox seminar in Los Angeles, Hier said.
During his tenure at the center, Hier said he has been "keeping an ear to the ground," for opportunities to be involved with the orthodox movement, his main area of study. He will be working for Ye-shiva of Los Angeles.
As director of the center, Hier has been responsible for coordinating social, educational, religious and political activities in the Jewish center.
"It's been a real change with him here," said Max Shenk, co-president of USC Hillel. "A lot of different people were given the opportunity to get involved with the Jewish organization."
Hier has also made the university community more aware of Jewish concerns by initiating off-campus educational programs and introducing students to the Jewish community in Los Angeles, Shenk said.
Hier's successor wiU be chosen by Rabbi Richard Levi, executive director of the Los Angeles Hillel Council.
