Heifetz gets ovation at benefit recital
Jascha Heifetz, world-renowned violinist and professor at USC, accepted abundant praise from a full house at the Music Center Monday night.
He received a standing ovation when he first walked on stage at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion to give a benefit performance for School of Music scholarships.
At the end of the concert Heifetz was called back to the stage again and again. He was only able to do 1 encore, however. because of fatigue.
During the summer the School of Music sent ticket applications only to those on their mailing list. But the news got around and the scalper’s price Friday before the concert was $45 for an average seat.
Hubbard to get report on Ingle conflict today
By Andrew Erskine
associate editor
The Special Dental Advisory Committee’s report on the controversy concerning John Ingle, dean of the School of Dentistry, will be ready for presentation to President John Hubbard today.
Hubbard, who is returning from out of town, is not expected to release the committee’s report to the public, however.
The committee was asked by Hubbard to evaluate charges made against Ingle last month by members of the Century Club, a dental alumni support organization.
It’s premature to tell what charges we are considering and which we are not considering,” said William Allen, chairman of the committee, which is made up of outside professionals.
Earlierhe had said, “Basically the allegations are the blue-
print,” referring to the initial charges made by the Century Club members.
“Some of the charges like the anti-Semitic one, are so ridiculous,” he said. “There are intelligent people who realize that anti-Semites brought them up.” Allen also implied that the committee’s scope was somewhat limited. “We are not a vigilante committee,” he said. “We are not attempting to tell the university how to run itself.”
“We’re trying to be fair; we’re looking into the prerogatives that the dean and Hubbard asked us to look into.”
Allen denied rumors that some of the charges against Ingle evolved around misuse of funds.
Alleged embezzlement “You will always have people who will make wild charges,” he said. He added that this charge
COMMITTEE TO BE FORMED
Equal employment opportunities sought
By Christi Henningfeld
An Affirmative Action Committee to promote equal employment opportunities for minorities and women is being formed by the Center for Urban Affairs.
Professional, student and clerical employees will be in the group to aid dissemination of the university affirmative action policy.
Academic units that receive over $10,000 from federal funds must maintain an acceptable affirmative action committee, or they may be declared ineligible for the contract.
The university must comply with the pro-i grams set up by the Office of Civil Rights in the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
Equal recruitment opportunity
In signing a government contract, the contracting school agrees that it “will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin,” according to Executive Order 11246.
The order also states that affirmative action must be taken. Affirmative action requires the employer to make additional
efforts to recruit, employ and promote qualified minorities and women.
The government requires that nondis-criminatory practices be maintained in recruiting, hiring, training, promoting and terminating employees. Identical requirements are made concerning salary and working conditions.
Formulate goals Beyond the nondiscrimination requirements, contractors are directed to formulate measurable goals with planned results and timetables for completion.
The goals would be derived from an analysis of any underutilization of women and minorities. Underutilization is defined in the regulations as “having fewer women in a particular job than would reasonably be expected by their availability.” Expanded programs are recommended in recruitment and training. The recruiting efforts should reach minority and women organizations and community agencies. The order also states that contractors should initiate necessary remedial, job training and work study programs aimed at upgrading specific skills of minority and women employees.
These are some of the responsibilities of the affirmative action committees. Jerome Milliman, director of the Center for Urban Affairs said, “I suspect that the Center for Urban Affairs will be one of the first academic units on campus to establish its own Affirmative Action Committee.
Chairman chosen
Milliman selected Barbara Gardner, director of the Joint Educational Project, to be the chairman of this committee. Other members are: Robert Goodman, assistant professor of urban affairs and political science; Terry Cooper, program coordinator for Urban Semester; Walter Bremond, founder ofthe Black Brotherhood Crusade; Raul Vargas, coordinator for Mexican-American Programs; Emma Moore, executive secretary; Deborah Jackson, undergraduate student; and Pat Huckle, graduate student.
As chairman, Gardner is responsible for involving local minority and women’s organizations, reviewing the qualifications of all employees, organizing analysis of the com-oosition ofthe work force and applicant flow, md determining the degree to which the con-ractor’s goals have been attained.
may have risen from an alleged case of embezzlement a few years ago.
Allen pointed out, “It certainly didn’t involve the dean, it involved the business manager. In fact, Ingle was instrumental in pointing this out.
“I know the committee is not looking into charges of mishandling of funds.”
Allen also discounted another rumor that Murray Schwartz, the dean of the UCLA Law School, was approached to write a legal brief on Ingle’s behalf, after a similar request was refused by Scott Bice, associate dean of the USC Law Center.
“There’s no brief, because it’s not a legal case,” Allen said.
Involvement denied Schwartz, too, denied any involvement in the case. “I know nothing of the case other than what I’ve read in the papers,” he said.
Bice refused to comment on the question. Allen said Bice was involved only insofar as he “talked to the committee and informed us of the law school’s concern for academic freedom.” The committee’s findings will be evaluated by an administration committee consisting of 5 administrators: Z.A. Kaprelian,

Marijuana proposition sparks campus debate
By Mike Runzler
In a debate on Proposition 19. the marijuana initiative, most of the students gathered in front of Tommy Trojan at noon Wednesday admitted they had either smoked marijuana or had been present during its use.
Rex Beaber. a graduate student in psychology, spoke in favor ofthe initiative and Jim Sill, a recent UC San Diego graduate, had equal time in opposition to the proposal
In the debate, co-sponsored by Young Americans for Freedom and the Action Coalition for Freedom. Beaber's main argument was that there is not sufficieni evidence of the detrimental effects of marijuana to war-
rant its use being made a criminal offense.
Beaber cited what he called trickery in many tests concerning the possible harmful effects of the drug. The results of one of these tests, said Beaber. that marijuana users lack motivation and are not engaged in producing.
Users, nonusers This fact is not valid, Beaber said, because
•	people chosen to use it were distinctively different from the rest of the population.” The differences between the users and the nonusers in this study had existed before the tests had begun, he claimed.
A recent study of marijuana at UCLA, said Beaber. was
the most sophisticated study of its kind ever made. In this study, he said, a random sample of people was taken and one-half was given marijuana while the other half was used as a control group.
The marijuana intake was controlled and the users were kept in the presence of the examiners. This was the first study that introduced marijuana to novices.
The results of the tests showed that the average GPA of the marijuana users was higher than that of the nonusers, said Beaber. There was also a greater desire among users to go to graduate school. Contrary to a rumor that marijuana causes brain damage, less than one-tenth
of 1% of the patients in the psychiatric ward were marijuana users, he continued.
Reverse tolerance claimed
Beaber said that a user also develops a reverse tolerance to the drug instead of an increasing dependance. Instead of needing a larger quantity of the drug to become high, the user’s needs go down each time he smokes.
Beaber said that, unlike alcohol, marijuana does not hurt a person’s driving abilities. In fact, he said, tests conducted by the Department of Motor Vehicles prove that drivers under the influence of marijuana are more cautious than sober drivers.
Beaber said it is ridiculous to assume that marijuana smoking leads to the use of heroin. He said that every heroin user drank milk as a child, but there are no facts that prove this leads to heroin usage.
Concluding, he said that no one has ever died from using
marijuana. The only way to } die from it is to take THC (the major active ingredient of grass) by injection in a dosage
300,000	times stronger than that found in marijuana.
Rebuttal lists opponents
In his rebuttals, Sill listed numerous persons who opposed the legalization of marijuana, described possible bodily harm from the drug and told of what he called the real issue behind the initiative.
Sill said that Amorphia Inc., the manufacturer of Acapulco Gold cigaret papers, is donating large sums of money to protect its own interests. To date, the company has donated about $20,000 dollars to the California Marijuana Initiative.
Sill also said that these cigaret rolling papers are illegal.
He said it was important to realize that the proposal would decriminalize marijuana, not legalize it.
