History gives us ideas for change
Exploitation of illegal aliens, sometimes considered a thing of the past, rears its head in modern-day California. Rather than condemn it, we should take this opportunity to change.

Need a reason to wake up this morning more compelling than biology lecture? Need an incentive to stay up tonight better than the premiere of a new Steven Bochco series? Drag yourself to Bovard for Grammy winner Tom Scott and the American jazz Philharmonic.
At 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., the auditorium will be the site for two free concerts launching an eight-city national tour promoting music education in the schools.
A $280,000 grant from American Express funded the tour, which was organized by the National Academy for the Recording Arts and Sciences Foundation.
The American Jazz Philhar-
monic, a 65-piece jazz orchestra, is the only formal commissioner, recorder and producer of symphonic jazz. Established in 1979 by Jack Elliot, conductor of the annual Grammy ceremonies, the Los Angeles-based group issued its first, self-titled recording on compact disc last week.
In today's concerts, the Philharmonic will be joined by various jazz legends. Tom Scott, an alumnus of USC's School of Music, is a Grammy-winning saxophonist and music director for "The Chevy Chase Show."
Pianist Mike Melvoin and former 'Tonight Show" musical director Tommy Newsom are joining the ensemble as well. Soloists Fred Karlin and John Clayton complete the list of guest artists.
Audrey Jonckheer, director of communications for American Express, said the program aims to go beyond the normal festival agenda and extend into the (See Jazz, page 3)
Intruder found mixing chemicals in lab

A man not associated with the university was arrested for trespassing yesterday morning after he was found mixing chemicals in a chemistry lab in Seeley G. Mudd, USC Department of Public Safety affidals reported.
At approximately 11:15 a.m., the man was found in a restricted lab mixing a variety of chemicals, including methyl alcohol, an unspecified kind of acid, Palmolive soap and hot water.
Troy Phipps, a student working at the lab, entered the room and found the man, who
said he was a graduate student, mixing the chemicals. Phipps then went back to his boss, lab technician Wubayehu Tsega, and told him an unfamiliar man who was not wearing any safety equipment was using the lab.
Tsega questioned the man, who went to the men's room. The man, who said he was a teaching assistant, was mixing a blue liquid in a sink.
While Tsega talked to the man, Phipps called the USC Department of Public Safety, who notified HAZMAT, the LAFD hazardous materials unit.
"There were a couple of things we were
concerned with," said Sgt. John Lewis, Day Watch Commander for tne USC Department of Public Safety.
"At Seeley G. Mudd they have hazardous material placards that tell whether or not the chemicals inside are reactant with water. The numbers of reactivity range from one to four with one being the mildest and four being the strongest. He was in there mixing things haphazardly. We were concerned he was trying to do a mini narcotics lab," Lewis said.
The situation was determined to be non-life-threatening.

Money from recycling aids L.A. recovery

Red causes most to stop and look, but in the case of a large, red recycling bin placed in front of the bookstore as part of the Rebuild L.A. campaign, responses have been slow.
Unlike other on-campus bins, this one, sponsored by the Council of Graduate and Professional Students, plans to benefit the community and develop a sense of recycling in one more area. The large red bin will be used to collect used toner cartridges from printer and copier machines. Proceeds will go to Habitat for Humanity to help rebuild homes damaged in the 1992 riots.
Habitat for Humanity is an organization begun by former President Jim.ny Carter to help low-in-come families build and epair homes, according to Lee Wallach, coordinato • of graduate student community programs.
"In L.A. there was a targe push after the riots to help repair damaged homes, not businesses, but just single family homes," said Wallach.
The project began last February when Habitat (See Rebuild, page 6)
