Student Petition Seeks More Funds for Security
BY BRIAN ROBINETTE
Staff Writer
A petition is expected to begin circulation today by students who seek increased funding for Campus Security, which they feel is not providing adequate protection for the university com-minity.
In the peittion, the students asked that a study be conducted to determine the most suitable area of additional funds for Campus Scurity.
THE STUDENTS propose that the increased allocations be used to guarantee a higher caliber among security personnel, which they feel would help lower the area’s heavy crime statistics.
Also included in the petition is a list that the student group claims to have obtained from John Lechner, director of the Office of Campus Security and Parking Operations.
Some of the information listed includes:
•	The turnover rate fo Campus Security officers is
.between 78% and 80%. with most remaining here only three months.
•	The age limit for officers is 65, and no physical examination is required.
•	No training for officers is required except for six months on-the-job instruction.
•	Vandalism costs the university approximately $200,000 a year in damages and another $400,000 in burglary.
“Students are paying enough money at this school
that they should be guaranteed adequate security,” said Sharon Swenson, a member of the student group. ‘‘I -definitely think Campus Security should have a higher priority.
Swenson, a freshman, became involved with the group after listening to a presentation during a Speech Communication 102 class last month.
After discovering the preceding and other related information conceringCampus Security procedure, she and other students decided to circulate petitions on a campus-wide basis.
With the assistance of resident advisors, the students hope to determine the opinions of other students in the dormitories, as well as the
Row and in classrooms.
A table located in front of Tommy Trojan will offer petitions, while others will be sent to classrooms.
The accumulated petitions, said Swenson, will then be presented to Lechner and President John R. Hubbard.

The director of the Student Travel Bureau said Tuesday that the bureau will shut down unless it receives more office space from the university.
The threatened closing of the bureau came only days after it finally received the $5,000 loan it had requested from the Student Affairs Division.
Abraham van Kempen, director of student travel, said the bureau’s present office space in Student Union 312-P is “too small to accommodate an office that serves 1,100 people a year.”
VAN KEMPEN, in a memorandum to Randy Zomar, assistant director of the Student Acitivities Office, expressed hope that the situation could be resolved but said the bureau had reached an “uncompromising dilemma.”
Van Kempen said that he and the two other members of the bureau staff would resign if their request is not granted, and said there is no one else with the expertise needed to take over the
bureau.
“Yes, this is an ultimatum,” Van Kempen said in an interview. “Our bargaining power lies in the fact that we know what we’re doing.
“I sincerely believe the university wants to continue this service, and I am confident we’ll get what we’re asking.”
THE BUREAU has been in its present location for one year. The office has less than 150 square feet of floorspace and two desks.
Van Kempen said that for the bureau to coninue at better than a subsistence level, it needs to expand its staff —and with its present office space, that is impossible, he said.
The bureau had asked for a $7,000 loan earlier in the semester to get its operations under way and expand its staff.
Revenues of$3,100 from its Christmas charter flights allowed the brueau to reduce its request, but Van Kempen said now that the money is available, he has no place to put the needed additional staff members.

THE LIBRARY will include all the original writings of Schoenberg-—sketches, short scores, finished manuscripts, editions, essays, books and articles, as well as hundreds of annotated and analyzed scores and books of other composers and writers.
The furnishings, piano and other objects in his studio are also included in the gift. Schoenberg’s paintings, in the possession of his heirs, will be loaned to USC for study and exhibit.
Attached to the acceptance of this gift are certain conditions. The first is the construction of a Schoenberg Institute, which will house the material and will provide facilities for academic and cultural programs.
The cost of the project is estimated at $500,000. A commitment of $250,000 towards the cost of construction has already been secured from Adrian Wilson Associates, a TICOR company.
