Dennis honored for dedication to students
By Michelle Ladd
Assistant City Editor
An army of black-robed students wielding burning candles and a blaring radio stormed into a conference room late Tuesday morning to see Vice President of Student Affairs James Dennis.
Their mission, however, was a scholarly one.
Mortar Board Senior Honor Society alumni members and new initiates gathered to honor Dennis for his dedication to students and his recent Ful-bright Scholarship, naming him their Spring 1993 Outstanding Administrator.
"He is always there to offer words of wisdom, insight and advice to students both as a friend and an administrator.
Dr. Dennis' genuine concern for the well-being of the student body is no secret.
“What many, including yourself Dr. Dennis, may be unaware of is the numerous personal relationships you have formed with so many of us here today," said Curtis Kin, a senior majoring in international relations, in his Mortar Board address.
Dennis said he will leave for Germany on Sunday to study higher education, particularly international education.
"It's an open opportunity to discuss educational, cultural and political issues through an academic exchange," Dennis said.

University Security has a 12-point plan of action that will go into effect in the event of a major civil disturbance after the Rodney King verdicts are returned, according to an elec-tronic-mail memo obtained by the Daily Trojan.

USC braces for verdict No. 2
Second in a series
The memo, dated April 2, details remarks made by Steven Ward, chief of University Security, to the Staff Assembly of the USC library system concerning the "university's planned response to possible anticipated civil disturbances relative to the King and Denny trials."
Ward is currently out of town and unavailable for comment, but a library official confirmed that the memo was legitimate.
University Security had previously denied the existence of any such response plan.
Michael Kennedy, commander of Planning and Training Services for security, was quoted in yesterday's Daily Trojan as saying, "There is not a plan for response to a riot."
Thomas Moran, vice president for Business Affairs and the person who oversees security, was also quoted in the article
University stalking incidents trouble five female students
By Helen Chen
Staff Writer
The campus, in the last two months, has been plagued with a series of unrelated stalking incidents. According to University Security, five incidents were reported between Feb. 26 and April 5.
All were cases where female victims were harassed by male stalkers on campus.
University Security Sgt. John Lewis said people can be threatened with stalking crimes that vary from agres-sive love-struck pursual to hostile, intense, and violent harrassment. In five cases on campus, none were violently aggressive.
The first stalking case occured in a Health Sciences Building, where a student, on repeated incidents, left dead rats on another student's
desk. University Security warned the student responsible, where upon the harassment ceased, Lewis said.
The second reported case occured on March 22 at Parking Structure C, where a student left a series of threatening love / hate notes on a student's car in a hostile nature. On March 23, security officers staked out the student's car, and caught the suspect who had approached the car in relation to a note left on a windshield.
To be considered a stalking crime and for someone to violate the California 1991 Stalking Law, the crime has to be a credible threat, in which a person is annoyed, harrased, or harmed.
A third stalking incident was reported on March 26 by a victim at the Ahmason
building. The staff member had been receiving unwanted flowers, notes, and phone calls from a student.
The Threat Management Unit handled the investigation, and on March 31, the suspect was served with a restraining order, while he was being interviewed by LAPD and Student Affairs.
The fourth incident was also reported on March 26 at Booth Hall. This case involved a student who was being harassed with multiple phone calls in the early morning hours and lengthy (50-plus page) mailings from the suspect.
The suspect, who according to Lewis was not a student, showed up at a concert at the Hancock building to follow the victim. Security officers (See Stalk, page 16)
as saying that there was no specific plan for security and no extra training was necessary.
The 12 points in the memo detailing University Security's planned response to possible civil unrest apparently contradict the statements made by Kennedy and Moran.
Moran and Kennedy also could not be reached for comment.
The security plan of action, as detailed in the memo, is as follows:
1.	Security staffing will be increased to 12-hour shifts.
2.	Access to campus will be restricted. Double patrols will be deployed to enforce this.
3.	An "Incident Response Team" will be implemented to deal with individual disturbances that may occur — this will be tit-for-tat and is primarily a show of force and deterrent strategy.
4.	An Emergency Operations Center will be activated somewhere on campus. The senior university administration, Business Affairs, Student Affairs and Telecommunications will be integral parts of this center.
5.	After the verdicts are announced to the public (University Security will receive advance warning), an emergency notification procedure will be initiated from the president to the provost to the senior vice presidents to the deans to the directors.

In addition, he said Auxiliary Services knows of a number of employees who arc not happy with Local 11's representation.
When union members met on March 24, their chief negotiator, Glen Amodo, announced that university officials had not
