Police arrest students selling probation shirts

Police arrested four university students and two students from the University of California, Los Angeles, for selling "Probation Bowl" T-shirts on the Exposition Park grounds Saturday.
The police also confiscated nearly 900 T-shirts and $150 from the students.
The students were selling the shirts for a group called Bowl Where. Proceeds from the sale of the shirts will go towards buying a piano and public address system for Tea House, a student organization.
The group has already sold about 4,500 shirts.
Only one officially licensed vendor, Volume Services, is allowed to sell merchandise on the Exposition Park grounds. All other vendors within the boundaries of the park are in violation of the Los Angeles County Municipal Code.
In return for the monopoly, Volume Services pays a percentage of its profits to the Coliseum management and the university, said Jerry Nielsen, the assistant general manager of the Coliseum.
Volume Services has begun to sell its own "Probation Bowl" T-shirts. Volume Services sells its "Probation Bowl" T-shirt for $8 while the Bowl Where shirts go for $5.
Bowl Where members believe that the Coliseum management and Volume Services conspired to have them arrested.
"I think it was very low for the Coliseum to plagiarize our T-shirt idea and then arrange to have a student group arrested for selling T-shirts," said Marjorie Mown,’, a Bowl Where member.
Bowl Where members have consulted lawyers and are considering taking action against Volume Services for copyright violations and the Los Angeles Police Department for illegal seizure.
"We have approached lawyers and they think we have a good case," Mowrv said.
"The whole thing about suing is not settled yet," said David Schwartz, another member of Bowl Where. Schwartz said Bowl Where has not formally hired counsel yet, but after consulting with lawyers, the group believes it can prove it was the first to promote the "Probation Bowl" idea. He added that the police may have seized the T-shirts illegally by forcing the students to open their van, which was not on Coliseum property, without a search warrant.
Nielson said any copyright suit is between Bowl Where and the vendor and the Coliseum is not involved in it.

Four university students and a friend from UCLA sat around a Palm Springs hot-tub the week before school began and discussed football.
Their conversation established an attitude, that attitude sparked an idea, and the idea became a tangible product: The Probation Bowl T-Shirt.
"The topic of the Pac-10 sanctions against USC and UCLA came up, and for a while we all lamented a dead-ended football season," said George M Will, one of the students present.
" 'Who needs the Rose Bowl?' someone finally cried. We decided to have our owm bowl game," he said.
"It was a provocative idea," continued Guy Pacura, another student. "We felt the USC-UCLA game would be an excellent substitute for the Rose
Bowl. We called it 'The Probation Bowl.' "
The students included other friends in their scheme and formed a group called Bowl Where Inc. Their Probation Bowl concept was expressed in a T-shirt which sells for $5 on campus and at football games.
John Hall, sportswriter for the Los Angeles Times, spotted one of the shirts at the UCLA-Stan-ford game and devoted one of his columns to the T-shirt and its message.
"The Probation Bowl," wrote Hall, "may be the most important battle of the year."
Due to recent losses, both the Trojans and the Bruins have only their annual showdown to look forward to this football season. With the coveted national championship out of sight, their standoff, the Probation Bowl, set- the stage for (Continued on page 2)

If the University Center is built on the intramural field, James Dennis, director of Campus Life and Recreation, will insist that students be provided with a field somewhere else on campus.
The intramural field is located on West 34th Street, across from Webb Tower. It has been rumored that the $30-million University Center will be built on the field, leaving students without a place for recreation.
"We do know that we're going to have a University Center/' Dennis said. "We also need to realize that we need that field space for our students as W'ell."
The only other possible location that has been mentioned is the area between Heritage Hall and the intramural field, where Physical Plant is located.
Dennis believes Physical Plant could be moved to warehouses on the east side of the Harbor Freew’ay.
However, Bonnie Wong, a student member of the University Center Planning Committee, cautioned that the cost of tearing down Physical Plant may be too high to merit its destruction.
Anthony Lazzaro, vice presi-
dent of business affairs, and President James H. Zumberge, will ultimately decide where the center will be built.
Dennis hopes a location for the center will be chosen in the next two or three weeks.
Students approved the Univ-
ersity Center last spring bv overwhelmingly passing a referendum bv an 86 to 14 j>ercent margin. The referendum stated that if students would pay for half of the costs of the center (through a $10 fee per semester), the university w'ould come up with the other half of the money.
"Equality, that really w'as the theme of the referendum,"
Dennis said. "The idea was that students wouldn't have to kick in $5 million if the university only comes up with S3 million."
The university already has come up with $3 million, in the form of a donation from McDonald's Corporation, for the
A site for the center may be chosen in the next two or three weeks.
Fraternity leader asked to move
House members allege ‘unworthy conduct'
By Roger Gray
Assistant City Editor
The student head of the Interfratemity Council faced expulsion from his fraiemity house this week, but charges against him went unheard after an "out of court settlement."
Nine charges of "unworthy conduct" and a motion to expell levied against Michael Kingsburv, IFC president, were dropped Monday night when he agreed to move out of the Delta Chi fraternity at semester's end, said Howard Yamagu-chi, Delta Chi president, speaking on behalf of the fraternity's executive committee.
"Anything within the house is fraternity business and stays within," Kingsbury said when asked to comment on the charges.
"I'm not going to answer questions concerning that . . . my conduct has been outstanding," he said. "I haven't violated any rules," he added later.
The Interfratemity Council is the governing and policy enforcement body overseeing university
fraternities. Asked if the leader of such a body should exhibit exemplary behavior, rather than that described in the charges raised bv Delta Chi, Kingsburv repeated his answer.
"Anything in the house is going to remain in the house," he said. "That's a conviction I hold."
Kingsburv said, how’ever, that no expulsion charges were heard (they were dropped, according to Yamaguchi ) and that he "was never connected with any expulsion proceedings."
Kingsbury also said he did not attend the Monday chapter meeting during which the matter was discussed because of a class conflict, but had a friend read a statement for him.
According to Yamaguchi, there is an understanding that Kingsbury is "not going to associate with the house."
But, Yamaguchi added, "as far as we're concerned he is still in good standing with the house."
