Search continues No new leads reported in Cardinal assualt By Glen Justice Staff Writer There are no new leads in the search for a suspect wanted in connection with the robbery and attempted rape of a 22-year-old woman Friday night in the Cardinal Gardens parking lot, University Security officials said Wednesday. Attempts to find the suspect have been hampered by a vague description of the individual and the lack of a pattern linking this incident to similar crimes, said University Security Chief Steven Ward. "With a single incident, what initially happens is that all officers are briefed and a description of the suspect is given out." Ward said. "This causes officers to look for those kinds of things. There's no pattern to analyze ... so there's very little you can do." Ward said patrols in the Cardinal Gardens area have not been increased since Friday. Los Angeles Police Department officials were unavailable for comment. In 1990, three acquaintance rapes and three attempted rapes have been reported at the university. Ward said security's efforts to deal with rape come in the form of officer training sessions. He said several officers will participate in these sessions this fall. Proposal under way for on-campus arena Center to seat 10,000 for sports, art events By Bill Swindell Assistant Gty Editor University Athletic Director Mike McGee said Wednesday he is in the midst of presenting a proposal to University President James Zumberge for a new 10,000-seat arena that would be built on campus for athletic events and special arts and entertainment performances. McGee said the Board of Trustees has already looked at a preliminary proposal, and he said he expects the finalized version to be completed within four to six weeks. "I believe this joint venture will be one of the best in the country," McGee said. "Besides basketball, we could have (everything from) the Bolshoi Ballet to rock concerts." The arena will be used predominantly as a sports center, McGee said. Funding for the estimated $35-million project will come from three sources: Nederland Capital Group and Ogden Management Services, two New York entertainment firms and private donations solicited by the athletic department, McGee said. The university would own the building, McGee said, and Nederland and Ogden would hold a long-term lease. "The good thing about this is that it doesn't cost the students any money," said Sam Sheldon, Student Senate vice president. When the proposal reaches Zum-berge's desk, he can either forward it the board, which will make a final decision, or he can reject it and return it to the athletic department, McGee said. Administration officials were unavailable for comment. The proposed arrangement would include 25 nights at the arena reserved for men's and women's basketball (which is currently played at the Los Angeles Sports Arena), 45 nights for Nederland and Ogden and an additional 70 events that could be rented throughout the year, McGee said. "These other events could take different forms, such as the Student Senate bringing in guest speakers," McGee said. "We could charge them a fee that wouldn't restrict them." Events at the proposed arena would be scheduled during weekends as much as possible throughout the academic year, McGee said. (See Arena, page 7) Housing director says Access defects fixed By Erin Nordby Staff Writer William Thompson, director of housing services, defended the Access system before Student Senate members Wednesday night and predicted the system would not be as troublesome as last year. When one senator questioned his confidence in the system, Thompson said he didn't mean to sound skeptical. "We're just a little shy after what happened last year," he said. "It's a two to three year project. "It's definitely worth it," Thompson said. "It's working and it's continuing to work. It's an asset to the university." Thompson said last year was a test year for the Access system and promised "this year we won't have the problems of last year." (See Senate, page 16) Athletic officials prepare for Coliseum’s makeover Rose Bowl, Anaheim, Dodger stadiums listed as possible substitutes By Dorothy Tsao Staff Writer On Wednesday, university officials, heartened by Raiders' owner Al Davis' decision to stay at the Coliseum, prepared for renovations to begin. Mike McGee, university athletic director, said he hopes a meeting in three weeks with stadium officials will produce a final decision as to where the Trojan football team will play its home games. Anaheim Stadium, Dodger Stadium and the Rose Bowl are being discussed as alternatives, he said. "We can't really say right now," he said. Renovations for the Coliseum will begin in 1992, after an environmental impact report is completed. The study is anticipated to start within the next 10 days and last for 12 to 18 months, McGee added. "If the Raiders left, we could have seen increased taxes to try to maintain the facility since it takes two major tenants to support it," he said.
