(volume Ixv, number 83 friday, march 2, 1973 Daily (ip Trojan university of southern California los angeles, californi< Arab students picket Israeli consul; Jews counter demonstrate By Joy Barrett staff writer A group of 15 Arab students from USC displayed their attitudes concerning the Middle East conflict by picketing the Israeli Consulate Thursday. They were among a group of 100 demonstrators who marched from Park La Brea, on Wilshire Boulevard to the consulate on Highland Boulevard. When the protest marchers arrived at the consulate, they were greeted by a group of 80 people from the Jewish Defense League who were staging their own demonstration. A shouting and singing match ensued between the two groups. The Jewish Defense League members were on the lawn of the consulate while the marchers picketed across the street. The island down the center of the boulevard was filled with the press and onlookers. The Arabs chanted in unison, “Free. Free, Palestine'’ while the Jews sang and danced in retaliation. Irv Rubin, the coordinator of the Jewish Defense League, said. “Seems like everytime a tragedy happens, Israel is to blame. We are defending our national honor by showing support to the consulate which symbolizes the Jewish people.” Two recent world events spurred the Arabs to picket—the attacks on Northern Lebanon and the downing of the Libyian airliner. “We are here since the blame was on the Palestine government," said Ahmad Mobarez. a graduate student. “Israel has created the turmoil in the Middle East. We are here to show that people in Palestine have the same right to raise their voice." One Arab student, who asked to remain anonymous, stated that the march was a device to get attention. “We feel our point of view is not shown. People are not aware of the real problem. There is even a certain sector of the American people which opposes the barbarian acts ofthe Israeli govern-nent and the unconditional support of the United States gov- (Continued on page 3) Hubbard denies DT remodeling allegations In a letter to the editor. President John Hubbard responded to a Daily Trojan article and an editorial about the remodeling of the offices of one of the university's vice-presidents, saying the project was routine. On Tuesday, the Daily Trojan reported that Anthony Lazzaro. vice- president for business affairs, was remodeling his office with $10,000 he had solicited from a general contractor and architect involved with campus construction projects. Lazzarro’s office is responsible for the administration of these projects. In an editorial on the same day. the Daily Trojan suggested that the situation was immoral and that Lazzaro should quit or be fired. Hubbard wrote in reply. “Sometimes, in the haste to put out a newspaper of the frequency and magnitude of the Daily Trojan, all the facts No So Cal on Monday SoCal, the Monday magazine publication of the Daily Trojan, will not appear on Monday. The Daily Trojan will appear on Tuesday along with the Campus section that normally appears on Monday. SoCal will resume publication on Monday, March 12. are not ascertained for a given story. It would appear that such is the case with respect to the article and editorial concerning vice-president Lazzaro . ..” Hubbard went on to outline the procedure used in selecting contractors and architects for construction projects, indicating that Lazzaro has nothing to do with such projects prior to their approval. Hubbard commended USC suppliers as “public-spirited citizens,” for making gifts to the university, stating that 12 different contractors, architects and engineers have committed over a quarter of a million dollars to USC projects. A multilevel accounting system issued to check all projects, Hubbard indicated. These involve an internal audit, one by an independent firm, and one by the federal government. An additional audit is used when a project involves federal funds. Hubbard concluded: “Incidentally, not a penny of student tuition is used in any building project, nor was any used in the scheduled and routine refurbishment of Vice-President Lazzaro’s office, which obviously exists at USC for the conduct of university business.” (A complete text of Hubbard’s letter and an editorial reply are on page 4.) KUSC plagued by economic problems; broadcasting hours are temporarily cut The situation at KUSC has become one of near total confusion in the past two days. The station has had to reduce its broadcasting from 24 hours a day to 18 hours. Economic matters have also been plaguing the station. These economic problems were part of the reason Jerry Trowbridge, program director, resigned Thursday. Doug Culver, station manager, blamed the cutback in hours on a lack of personnel. “We just don’t have the personnel to run the station 24 hours a day,” he said. “A lot of people have gone without sleep.” The personnel who had been doing programs during the 12 to 6 a.m. time period no longer have programs but have not been fired. Steve Huerta, who worked the 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. shift three nights a week, explained that the staff had been told just to stay around and to see how things go. Wallace Smith, general manager, said that the people who had been working the shifts that had been cut out would be worked into the schedule as soon as possible. The station’s change to broadcasting 18 hours a day was labeled by Smith as temporary. However, he said that he did not know how long temporary might be. “It might be a week or it might be six months, I just don't know,” he said. The economic problems include not being able to purchase new facilities or equipment, or upgrade the old equipment. KUSC has two control rooms, one announcing booth and one studio, none of which are soundproof. Trowbridge thinks these facilities are totally inadequate. Smith said that although the facilities are not the best, they are adequate, and better than those at some commercial stations. (Continued on page 3) Campus prepares for spring Spring has almost sprung. The winter doldrums have gone south for the moment and students have welcomed the occasion. This means that the campus will come alive with flowers, greenery and bare feet. Frisbees will fill the air and more dogs will be available to feed. Pedro Aguilar, ground crew employee, is shown nuturing the lawns for spring sitting and studying. Those passing are cautioned to watch their step. Doesn't it seem that students seem to have more free time this semester than in the fall? DT photo by Michael Sedano
