University's request to conduct classes in Schoenberg denied
Center predicts enrollment increase
By Elisa Ung
Staff Writer
The university's request for permission to hold fall 1996 semester classes at the Arnold Schoenberg Institute was denied Tuesday by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Diana Wayne.
This request to hold general music classes in the Institute was the latest breach of the university's original agreement with the Schoenberg family, said E. Randol Schoenberg, the acting attorney for the family and the grandson of the late composer.
"(The Institute building) was not intended to be a classroom," Schoenberg said.
Tuesday's ruling affirmed the February 1 order of Judge Robert O'Brien, which bars classes and other events from taking place in

Every year the pool of high school students that applies to USC gets bigger and better, said Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Joseph Allen.
Last year's freshman class had an average SAT score of 1113 and an average 3.6 GPA. "This year we expect the average SAT score to be 100 points higher," Allen said of the incoming freshmen.
Allen attributes the increase in scores to the restructuring of the SAT. "(The SAT) has been recentered for the first time in 54 years to reflect the realities of people taking the test," he said.

the Institute.
Last July, the Schoenbergs filed suit to block the university's request to use the Institute building until the collection can be moved. The family is planning to move the collection from the university, visiting potential locations in Europe and the East Coast, Schoenberg said.
The Arnold Schoenberg Institute was established in 1973 and intended to be an archive of the composer's work and literature. A board of advisors was formed, which was comprised of family members and officials appointed by the university. An agreement was made that the board would meet twice a year, Schoenberg said.
However, the university made its first breach of contract in (See Schoenberg, page 3)

College enrollment in California could increase by nearly one-half million by the ear 2005, according to a report y the California Higher Education Policy Center.
The study, entitled Tidal Wave 11, states that total enrollment will jump from the current 1.7 million to 2.2 million, an increase of approximately 23 percent.
"There is a 'bubble' of students coming through the system," said Joni Finney, associate director of the center. "These are, in large part, the children of baby boomers who are now reaching the college level."
The report states that additional factors contributing to the increase in college-bound students include the state's population growth during the 1980s, the recent surge in public school enrollment, increases in high school graduation rates and an increased proportion of high school graduates who have completed a college preparatory
program.
Although the center's report focuses primarily on University of California, Cal State and community colleges, the influx of students will have broad-ranging implications for all universities, Finney said.
"An increase in Cal Grants and other financial aid could shift more students from public schools to private ones," she said. "It's a real opportunity for private universities to increase their enrollment."
The study speaks to concerns about schools' capacity for more students. Some issues addressed in the report include "a sharp increase in student fees and the precipitous decline in access" to higher education.
"California lacks a realistic plan for addressing the probable enrollment increases of almost one-half million students," said Patrick Callahan, executive director of the California Higher Education Policy Center. "The lack of planning places educational opportunity for the next generation of Californians in great jeopardy."
Joseph Allen, dean of admissions and financial aid, said he disagrees with some of the findings of the report.
''The analysis isn't deep enough," he said. "For the most part, the biggest increases will De in low-income and minority students, who have traditionally not been represented (at universities)."
"We need to get to these kids while they're still in school, even as early as sixth grade," Allen said. "The real message of this report should be that we've got a lot of work to do to address the needs of these students."
"If we followed what demographers say 10-15 years ago, that enrollment would decrease and some colleges would have to close or consolidate, a lot of schools would be in bad shape," he said. "In fact, enrollment has gone up in that time period."
Allen said he does agree with the report's finding that the number of students applying to colleges, including USC, will increase in the next few years.
"I think there will be more
