Today's high will be in the 60s, and the low will be in the 40s. Inside Not a very tough decision to make “Intersection" has a hot cast working in its favor, but fails to make good use of it.

Not known for trash-talking like their counterparts across the nation, these Trojans get it done in the pool. Sports, page 16 Don’t sit too close: TV rots the brain Just like your mother always told you. Today's TV offerings like "Northern Exposure" are nothing but social commentary and are decaying the minds of young and old alike. Viewpoint, page 4 F.Y.I.

Can you see the light? Roy Nwalaaar I Dally Trojan This light post, outside the SOS shoe repair shop, was damaged by the 6.6 Northridge earthquake. Broadcasting teacher sues university for denying tenure By Quyen Do Staff Writer Dan Gingold, 66, an assistant professor of journalism who was denied tenure, filed suit on Oct. 1, 1993, against the School of Journalism for age, gender and racial discrimination in Los Angeles Superior Court. Gingold arrived at USC in September 1987, working as an assistant professor of broadcast journalism for five years in a tenure-track position. In December 1992, the Divisional Promotion and Tenure Committee denied Gingold tenure by a margin of one vote, according to court documents. Natasha Roit, attorney for Gingold, said it is impossible to know if the case will go to trial. "You can never tell," Roit said. "In the meantime it could settle, get tried, you have no way of knowing." Court documents filed by Gingold state, "When (Gingold), shocked by the denial of tenure, began investigating the series of events which lead to this denial, he discovered that the chair of broadcasting, a young black woman, had explained this denial of tenure to other faculty members as follows: 'There are already too many old white men on the faculty.' " 'That's absolutely ridiculous; totally untrue," said Sherrie Ma-zingo, chair of broadcast journalism. "I find it very unfortunate that he would assume that I would carry these kinds of attitudes, that I would make any comment of that nature," Ma-zingo said. "I would never make a statement like that." She added that the alleged charges were "hearsay and second-hand." (See Gingold, page 11) History honor society returns Jefferson expert kicks off new Xi chapter of Phi Alpha Theta By Sean Conley Staff Writer The Xi chapter of the history honor society Phi Alpha Theta made a USC comeback last Saturday with an awards banquet and new member initiation attended by the most influential history professors in Los Angeles. The keynote speaker and honored guest was Joyce Appleby, a professor of history at UCLA and world-renowned expert on Thomas Jefferson and 18th century American politics. Appleby is said to be the foremost critic of the so-called "republican synthesis" that has come to pervade a number of disciplines including history. The theme of this year's initiation was "Xi Chapter Renaissance" to denote a considerable comeback for the local chapter. Though the USC affiliate of Phi Alpha Theta has been dormant for the last few years, it was established in 1932, becoming the first chapter formed west of the Rockies and the 14th such group in the nation, said Christina Marsden, the USC chapter president. Marsden said her short-term goals for the group include a lecture series, social functions and service for the history Jamaa Brown / Dally Tro|an Joyce Appleby department. "We plan on having our members submit papers during the upcoming national conference, visiting various historical places including the Huntington Library, and cosponsoring a (See Appleby, page 11) Necessary financial aid forms multiplying FAFSA, others must be postmarked no later than Feb. 15 By Lisa Heimlich and Alison Vana Staff Writers Once again, financial aid has thrown students for a loop. Continuing students who received federal financial aid last year filed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, a new form instituted for students applying for federal funds. But over the past month, students have been finding in their mailboxes yet another new document to fill out. This newest form is the FAFSA renewal application for students who received federal aid during this 1993-94 school year. More than half the undergraduate student body who receive financial aid has received this form, and a significant number of them have in turn called the USC Office of Financial Aid to find out what to do with them. Catherine Thomas, director of financial aid, said this new application only replaces filing a completely new FAFSA each year, not the other documents. If students wish to be fully eligible for federal, state and USC-administered financial aid, she said, they must file the FAFSA or FAFSA renewal form, the Financial Aid Form and the USC Applicant Profile Form. Recipients of this new form were determined by the federal government, since the FAFSA determines federal assistance only, Thomas said. Students who did not receive the renewal form must file a new 1994-95 FAFSA form with the federal goverment. Financial aid packets, which include the FAFSA, FAF and Applicant Profile Form, can now be picked up in the lobby of the SAS building. All documents are to be postmarked no later than Feb. 15, 1994. Thomas said many students have been confused over how to fill out the new form. "One of the biggest problems we've seen nationwide from students who have sent in their renewal forms early is that over 80 percent simply sign the form." she said. "They don't realize that there are sections on this form needing updated '93 information concerning items such as family income and the number of family members in college. "It is very important that students read over the entire form carefully before signing and sending it in," Thomas said. Any students who made this mistake will receive a correction form from the federal government, and they need to hold on to this form to prove to the financial aid office that they met the Feb. 15 deadline. Meanwhile, they can fill out and send in a new FAFSA, Thomas said. "I was confused at first when I got the renewal form in the mailrbecause I was never told about it," said Tara Jerinsky, a freshman majoring in electrical engineering. "But actually the form makes the process a lot easier, because most of the information is (See FAFSA, page 11)
