The driver of the Granada, who is not a university student, also hit a Mazda RX7 that balonga to Gary Raydon, a senior majoring in business. University Security, the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Fire Department responded, but there were no Injuries. Resolution asks players to apologize Football team condemned by senate for slurs at rally By Jason Carroll Staff Writer The Student Senate approved a resolution Wednesday calling for action to be taken against the university football team after two of its members shouted allegedly homophobic slurs during the pre-UCLA game rally. Though the resolution does not specifically name the two students in question, it asks that the team formally apologize for Dan Owens' and J.P. Sullivan's use of the words "cock-suckers" and "faggots" during the Nov. 16 pep rally. The comments were especially defiant because David Crandall, director of student activities, had warned head coach Larry Smith to have the speakers watch their language. The warning came in a letter, initiated after last year's rally when one of the university football coaches referred to the UCLA football team as "f— ing faggots." In the letter, dated Oct. 19, Crandall wrote, "Could you please remind those who are selected to speak (at the Trojan-Bruin rally) that that kind of (See Senate, page 16) Faculty airs complaints at forum In Brief Professors express dissatisfaction with salaries, parking fees By Petula Dvorak Staff Writer Faculty members expressed dissatisfaction with their salaries Wednesday in a forum at which they discussed discrimination in salaries, retirement plans and a comparison of their salaries with those at other universities. The university's football team and Student Health Center may be better than those at state schools, but other universities pay their professors much better, faculty members unanimously agreed. One reason for the low salary level lies in the way the university spends its mon- ey, said William Weber, a faculty senator and chairman of the chemistry department. The university has made capital im-rovements with its new buildings, most-y on operating funds. These funds should be reserved for just that — operating the school, including faculty salaries, Weber said. Long-term improvements should be funded with money raised specifically for that purpose, he said. Project costs totaling more than $138 million have not been accounted for, Weber said. The Lyon University Center project, for example, still has about $1 million unpaid, he said. The university's grandiose plans and expenditures also reach into the future. Weber said the new teaching library, which is only one year away from ground-breaking, is still $15 million short of being fully funded. Another monetary issue raised at the forum was fees, particularly for parking. John Pollini, an associate professor in fine arts, decried the parking fees the university imposes on faculty members. "We have to come to campus to teach — that's not an option — yet we are charged for parking," Pollini said. The salary rate for different departments was also discussed. Faculty members said higher salaries are given to those who teach in departments that generate more students and more funds, such as engineering or business. By doing this, they alleged, the university is essentially taking the money from less popular departments, especially humanities, to pay for other schools. (See Faculty, page 16) Fight on! Local officials receive gift tickets to Trojan sports events By Gail Pagala Staff Writer Students and alumni aren't the only fans cheering for Trojan sports teams. In fact, some dty officials, including Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley or City Council President John Ferraro, may be found sitting in the stands yelling for the cardinal and gold. According to figures published in the Los Angeles Times, dty council members listed USC and UCLA football and basketball tickets among their gifts. The value of the season tickets received by each ranged from $150 to $600. The university's external affairs office offers the tickets to dty council members as a means to "keep up relations between the university and local officials," said Chris Lowe, a network administrator with external affairs. "We don't send out blanket season tickets to anyone." Every year, the university sends letters to dty offidals, offering $400 worth of tickets. Half the price of the tickets is considered a gift, and the other half is paid by the officials if they want the remaining tickets, said a press secretary for Councilman Richard Alatorre. University officials give the tickets to the Los Angeles Coliseum, which then distributes them to the city offidals. Most accept the tickets, but if elected officials accept a gift of $250 or (See Tickets, page 16) Teen abortion rights disputed by states in Supreme Court WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court was asked Wednesday to rule that most young girls have no right to abortions without first telling their parents. The justices, who have allowed limits on the availability of abortions for minors in the past, questioned lawyers defending and attacking parental-notification laws in Minnesota and Ohio. The justices gave no sign they are considering the broader possibility of scrapping the court’s 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision that legalized abortion. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor is expected to play the pivotal role again in the Minnesota and Ohio cases, to be decided by July. At issue in both are laws requiring parents to be notified before abortions are performed on unmarried girls under 18 who are still supported by parents.
