In his third visit to President Steven B. Sample's u'pper-division Art and Adventure of Leadership course, former Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis said that today’s younger generation should get involved in public service despite the difficulties involved to about 50 students in Bovard Room Thursday night.
As Dukakis entered the room he asked the students, “How many democrats (are here)? That’s what I want to know!”
Laughs rang out as the audience sat waiting to hear what the political figure would say next.
Dukakis said, “Keep it brief, Steve, keep it brief ,* as Sample introduced him.
There are two basic principals in public service,” Dukakis said. ‘First, plan to live moderately. If you want to live a rich lifestyle, don’t get into public service. Second, have a good, but conventional sex life If you want to have a kinky sex life, more power to you, but don’t go into public service.”
Dukakis, who is now a professor at UCLA and Northeastern University as well as the vice president of the governmental committee that oversees Amtrak, told the audience that there is nothing more satifying than working for the public.
Dukakis spoke for about 15 minutes before answering questions from students for about an hour and a half.
When one student asked Dukakis who his role model was, he answered, “Jack I see Speaker, page 3 I

The School of Social Work hosted the annual All Day School at Davidson Conference Center on Thursday depicting "The Many Faces of Crime,” during which a group of panelists spoke about different types of hate crime in society and focus groups were formed to discuss the occurrence of hate crimes in everyday life.
The first All Day School was held in 1992 following the Los Angeles civil unrest. All Day School turned into an annual event, each year emphasizing a complex social issue facing society. Ihe School of Social Work chose hate crime this year because of all the crimes that have been committed recently based on prejudice.
After Mujtaba Baht refused the woman’s demand for money, two men dressed in black entered his apartment around 3:30 p.m. on the 1100 block of 28th Street and took his wallet, cellular phone, golf clubs, watch and pager after one of them punched him in the face, Baht told Department of Public Safety and Los Angeles Police Department officers.
DPS and LAPD detectives are investigating the case, DPS Deputy Chief Bob Taylor said. The suspects are still at large.
The woman approached Baht in the lobby of his apartment building and offered to “entertain” him for money, an offer which he said he declined. The woman then knocked on Baht’s door
“It was an issue that concerned many of the students," said Helen Nedelman, the school’s director of Professional Development and Community Relations.
David Cnppens, senior vice president at KCET, moderated the panel which consisted of six experts on hate crime who are active in their communities: Joe Hicks, executive director of the Los Angeles County Human

She threatened that if she wasn’t paid, she would yell out that there was a hooker in the room, then began screaming, Baht told police. The screams drew the two men into the room, who demanded money and punched Baht in the forehead when he said he had none, Baht told police.
Before punching him, the two men grabbed out of Baht’s hands a phone he had picked up to call 911, Baht told police.
After grabbing some items from his desk, the two men and the woman were seen leaving together in a late model black Nissan Pathfinder. A woman who witnessed I see Crtae, page 2 I
