Officials allege union illegalities
Labor board to hold hearing
By Ezell Gray, Jr.
Staff Writer The National Labor Relations Board will hear the university's charges that Teamsters Local Union 911 allegedly engaged in unlawful conduct during an election in which the parking

attendants voted to unionize.
The hearing, which will be held Nov. 23 at the Federal Building in Los Angeles, will primarily be for hearing new
evidence that the Teamsters tampered with the June elections.
University officials had charged the Teamsters with "creating an atmosphere of fear among employees," according to Ken Young, Teamster attorney. "The NLRB dismissed this charge and others."
Part of the university's charges are directed at Lee Kincaid, a parking attendant who was involved in the unionization effort that passed by one vote. Young said
According to Young, Kincaid was an observer at the election He had a list of all parking attendants who were voting, and as thev voted, he checked their names off. The university said this monitoring may have in-
timidated the attendants. Young said.
Carl Levredge, director of Parking Operations, was unavailable for comment regarding the hearing, according to his secretary, Donnelle Shariat. "He's in his office, but he wants you (the reporter) to schedule an appointment to see him."
But Young said there was no question as to who will fare best in the hearing. "I'm absolutely sure we’ll (Teamsters) win."
The continual litigation has directly affected the attendants, placing them in a sort of legal limbo. They are not subject to the by-laws of the union and will not receive union benefits (Continued on page 9)
STYLE INTACT AFTER 60 YEARS
PAYMENTS FOR CALLS SOUGHT
University pursues phone abusers
By Mary Meloch
Staff Writer
This week the university will contact students who are known to have made personal calls using special university telephone codes.
The university announced last month that, through the use of a new computer system, it had compiled a list of 5b students who had used the codes to make personal calls.
University officials said the students would be contacted, given the opportunity to pav their bills and then possibly be brought before the Student Conduct Review Board.
Any students who turned themselves in before they were contacted would only be asked to pas their bills and would not be brought up before the Conduct Review Board said Charles Keith, administrator of Business Affairs, Personal Services.
According to Keith, 60 students have turned themselves in since the announcement about the list was made. Eleven of them have all ready come in and paid their bills and seven more have been contacted and are expected to pay this week. Eighteen people are waiting for Keith to verify, through a computer check, that they did misuse the telephone codes.
Ten of the people who turned themselves in were not even using university codes. They had used codes belonging to companies independent of the university and thought the university list applied to them.
Keith has not been able to contact the remaining 14 at the telephone numt>ers thev gave him.
He will send them letters stating how much they owe and how long they have to pay their bills.
There are still 33 students, 20 listed on the original list and 13 more who have been traced since it was compiled, who will be contacted bv Keith this week.
"They will be asked to come in and resolve the matter," Keith said. "If thev do not come in, their names will go to Dean Robert Mannes for his consideration and they will possibly be brought before the Student Conduct Review Board.
"Their names will also go to financial serv ices and a financial hold will be placed on their records. This means thev cannot register for the spring semester, have transcripts sent from the university or graduate until the bill is paid.”
The students called in this week will also be charged an additional fee of 10 percent of their bill to pav for administrative costs.
Keith said that all cases will be reviewed individually and the amount owed and the circumstances of each person involved will be considered in deciding if a person will face conduct review. He said that people who owe small amounts, such as SI or S2, will probably not be sent to Mannes, but people owing larger amounts, such as $20 or more, probably would.
Aproximatelv S300 has been collected from the
11	students who have already paid their bills. One of these persons, who had a $900 bill, paid a percentage of the total and signed a promissory note. Keith expects to collect approximately $3,000 to cover the other unpaid bills.
ROMAN IONIC — The columns of the Physical Education building typify the architecture found on campus Other examples of the same type of structure are Doheny Library and Mudd Hall of Philosophy
Architecture on campus offers trip through time
By Fran Meschendorf
Walking along University Avenue is like taking a trip through time.
From the Mudd Hall of Philosophy, representative of architecture during the 1920s, to Phillips Hall of Education, which typifies buildings of today, almost every major style and form in architecture since 1900 can be seen.
"University Avenue is representative of the tremendous romantic revival in architecture during the 1920s — which was mostly an attraction to Romanesque style," said Tom Coffin, director of Architectural Services.
Mudd Hall of Philosophy, the Student Union and the Administration building are good examples, although not true statements, of the Romanesque form. The brick masonry, tile roofline and the overall religious resemblance of the building are characteristics of that style of architecture.
"The Administration building looks like it could be a church,' Coffin said.
Most of the structures were built bv the firm of Parkinson and Parkinson, who also designed Los Angeles' city hall and Union Square.
The great amount of detail found in most of the older buildings

Yell leaders uphold tradition
By Robert Rosenblum
With less than two minutes left in the football game, USC is ahead bv 30 points.
All off a sudden, the entire student section jumps up. They yell. They scream. They clap their hands. Did the Trojans score another touchdown? No, actually a time out has stopped all action on the field. The action in the stands hasn't stopped, however. The yell leaders continue to lead the fans in cheers and yells.
The USC veil leaders promote school spirit at sporting events, rallys, and alumni events. The large number of athletic events keep the veil leaders extremely busy.
Mark Chitjian, a sophomore veil lead-staft photo by Katy smith er, said, "Last year we went to volley-SHOWING SPIRIT — Yell leaders practice their cheers to promote USC sports victories ball, tennis, track events, baseball.
swimming, and gymnastics as well as basketball and football games. We also support women's athletics as much as men's."
"For example, during the basketball season, we first yell for the women's team from 5:30 to 7:30 and then again for the men's team at 8:00," Chitjian said.
At a university that prides itself on tradition, the veil leaders are no exception. Their style is old-fashioned and traditional.
Terry VVapner, a senior yell leader said, "The basic stvle hasn't changed in 60 years. They have been doing the same 'Big T' yell and ' So. Cal.' spellout since 1919 when Lindley Bothwell was the first veil king.”
