Drive to focus on academics Law student’s evidence brings suspects to trial By Laurinda Keys city editor A USC law student and three Los Angeles Police officers provided enough evidence at a preliminary hearing in the Los Angeles County criminal court yesterday to warrant the bringing to trial of three young men on a charge of robbery. Robert Lewis, the law student, gave an hour’s testimony on the details of the crime committed upon him Sept. 9. He told how he had parked his car at 9 p.m. near the Married Student Housing complex and had walked about 25 feet from it with his two-year-old son when “four people came from my right and stood right in front of me. One of them said an obscenity and then, Hold it right there.’ Then he said, ‘Okay give me your wallet,’ and the obscenity again.” Then Lewis pointed to one of the defendantsin the courtroom, Leon Knight, Jr. and identified him as the man who had spoken to him that night. “He had his right hand down at his side,” Lewis said, “and what appeared to be a knife blade was sticking out from under his thumb. Hard rock group Chickasaw in SAC patio today Chickasaw, a five-piece group specializing in hard rock, will perform today at noon in the Student Activities Center patio. The concert is produced by the ASSC. “I gave him my wallet right away. Then he directed me to turn around and to walk back and unlock my car.” As he was walking back to his car. Lewis noticed a group of about seven children, mostly boys in their early and middle teens. “Knight spoke to them and said something to the effect of, ‘Go away. We’ll meet you later,”’ Lewis related. “Then he said something like, ‘You better open that car or something’s going to happen to that sweet kid of yours.’ “I opened the car. Knight got in and unlocked the doors on the other side and it appeared that two others got in the car. Another one grabbed my left wrist, pulled up my sleeve, saw my watch and said, ‘Give me that watch.' I gave it to him and he got in. “Then, I can’t say for sure if it was Knight—it might have been several people—told me to get in.” Lewis said by then his son had wandered off. He went over to pick up the child and then ran to the apartment of the complex manager, Fred Wilson. Called Campus Security Wilson called Campus Security, then grabbed a pistol and ran outside. Lewis followed him and saw his black 1968 Oldsmobile being driven south on McClin-tock Avenue.

However, it is not known exactly how this campaign will help accomplish the specific dollar goals established in A Priority for the ’70s, the university’s official plan for academic improvements, adopted by the Board of Trustees in April, 1970. Perhaps the dollar goals in A Priority for the ’70s will be superseded by whatever goals are established in the centennial fund-raising campaign. Perhaps the Priority’s goals will be pursued—or perhaps they will be ignored. However, some kind of fundraising campaign will be conducted, aimed chiefly toward financing additional scholarships, fellowships and loans; endowed chairs for top faculty scholars; and acquisitions for the library. These goals are what A Priority for the ‘70s establishes for the university. Concentrate on academics This campaign will differ from the Master Plan of the 1960s, in which $60.7 million ofthe $106.7-million goal was spent for construction of new buildings. “This centennial drive is part of a continual thrust, a natural progression from the 1960s,” President John Hubbard said in an interview earlier this month. “We will concentrate on academic programs and, to a limited extent, on additional capital improvements.” A Priority for the ’70s estab-lished the following dollar goals: (1) Student financial aid — $1.5 million a year for scholarships, fellowships, loans and work-study programs. (2) Library and computer fund — $500,000 a year for books. services and information retrieval. (3) Teaching fund — $450,000 a year to supplement the salaries of professors who demonstrate scholarship and teaching ability; a drive for 15 endowed chairs for undergraduate, graduate and professional schools. (4) Student Talent Search and Counseling Center — $200,000 a year to recruit and retain talented students. (5) Academic planning — $100,000 a year to staff and operate an office for institutional studies.

However, specific dollar goals have not yet been decided. “The university establishes the needs. We supply what is required to meet those needs,” said Roger Olson, executive director of development. Olson is the chief assistant in fundraising to Thomas Nickell, Jr., vice-president for university affairs. President Hubbard said the fund-raising campaign will be comparable to that of Stanford University, which announced a five-year, $300-million drive April 11. Stanford will spend $125 million for its endowment. $92 million for operating needs and $83 million for construction. Olson confirmed the size ofthe drive, but qualified Hubbard's comments: “It may be as little as $100 million (the level of the Master Plan) or as much as $300 million.” Ten-year campaign The centennial campaign (it (Continued on page 3) NEW CINEMA COURSE Women in film studied By Patti Hawkins “Women in film have traditionally fallen into stereotypes that focus on several myths—the virgin cult myth, sex symbols, women behind the men, the gutsy career girl and variations on these themes,” said Sandra Shevey, professor of cinema. Shevey, a new member of the Division of Cinema faculty, is a former New York Times and Show magazine film critic. She is teaching two new courses this semester which deal with the stereotyping of women and minorities in films. One of her courses. Women in Film, is designed to expose the myths and stereotypes that Shevey and other feminists feel surround the women portrayed in most films. The course will include discussion about the traditional stereotypes from silent films to stars such as Ginger Rogers, Marilyn Monroe and Doris Day. Get rid of stereotypes “It’s very important to get rid of these stereotypes because they serve to reinforce certain doubts and feelings of inferiority which women have," Shevey said. “They also help to continue the traditional roles of women as housewives, nurses and secretaries. Also to be discussed in the new course is the changing image of women in the cinema world. The change is caused, said Shevey. by women working as script writers and directors and by women in the audiences. Women now more conscious “Today, young women are more conscious of what is happening to them and are gaining a sense of disbelief and outrage toward the cliques and oppression,” she said. “However, I don’t think we'll see the real results for as long as 20 years.” In her othercourse. Minorities in Film. Shevey will discuss the roles minorities have played in cinema. Such roles have been blacks being associated with rhythm and blues, Indians as the bad guys that had to be civilized and the Mexican macho myth. The course is still open. It meets 7 p.m. Wednesday in VKC 212. Along with her film criticism. Shevey has taught at New York University and has written a book entitled Ladies of Pop Rock. a series of interviews with female recording artists.
