A student was raped outside Harris Hall of Architecture around 2 a.m. Sunday. When another student tried to break up the incident, he was kicked several times in the head. The assailant fled before Campus Security arrived.
The rape victim was taken by Los Angeles police to a nearbv hospital for the standard treatment given victims of sexual assault. The police had been called by Campus Security. Both forces searched the area but were unable to find the suspect.
Detective Douglas Coilisson of the Los Angeles Police Department, said the police are still looking for a black man in his early 20s, described as being six feet tall and weighing 180 to 190 pounds. Witnesses said the suspect wore a light shirt and dark pants, with his hair in tight braids.
The students involved in the incident were working late in their studio.
The victim had gone alone to her locker in an outdoor court-
yard. Campus Security reported she was approached by a young black man who threatened her with an unidentified sharp object.
The girl was forced outside and raped near the south edge of Harris Hall. Two friends, who had become worried when she didn't return to the studio after several minutes, discovered the victim and her assailant after thev heard muffled cries for help.
"We s^w some forms in the bushes. Bv then I realized — though 1 couldn't really believe it
—	somebody was being attacked," one of the witnesses said.
The witness said he started yelling and dove into the bushes. He tackled the assailant, but then the student wrasn't able to stand up immediately. The suspect kicked the student several times and threatened to shoot him.
The suspect had no gun in sight, but the student said the man was grabbing for something in the bushes. Meanwhile, the victim had fled the scene to call Campus Security.

IR prof caught with confidential documents
A professor from the School of International Relations was caught with confidential records Friday night, a source said.
The source claimed the professor, assisted by four students, entered the school's office, located in the Von KleinSmid Center, to gather documents that were strictly confidential.
A worker in the school discovered several of the files missing Monday morning, the source said.
Campus Security's dispatch log states a unit as called by Hammond Rolph, assistant director of the School of International Relations. Officers responded to the possible vandalism call at 6:40 p.m.
However, no report, other than the dispatch log, could be found. Rolph and Jay Savage, interim director of the school were unavailable for comment.
The source claimed the professor was trying to develop a case proving the granting of graduate fellowship awards depicted racism and sexism.
The confidential files contained student information used to determine the recipients of fellowships. The files are so sensitive, the source said, that the students must sign away all rights to see them.

BOMB SCARE — A bomb threat Monday at Von KleinSmid Center forced many classes outside, but a search of the building turned up nothing.
Telephone bomb threat disrupts classes; search reveals nothing

A telephone bomb threat disrupted classes and shut down department offices at Von KleinSmid Center Monday.
After some initial investigation, the threat turned out to be only of minimal concern for Campus Security and the Los Angeles Police Department.
A telephone call was received at 9:40 a.m. at the office of President John R. Hubbard, claiming that there was a bomb in Von KleinSmid Center.
The caller did not say where the bomb was or when it would go off. Five Campus Security officers and two LAPD officers investigated shortly after the call but found nothing to substantiate the caller's claim.
Departments'of international relations, political science and economics housed in Von KleinSmid Center shut down for most of the day.
Some classes were cancelled. Others were moved to other buildings, or simply outdoors. "Campus Security did not want to disrupt normal routine," said W. R. Burke, captain of Campus Security. Professors and teaching assistants even joked about it. A blackboard in Von KleinSmid Center read, "Class will be held outside. Find it, or else!"
"Someone called and said, T want to tell you about a bomb,'" said Sgt. Mike Melton, watch commander at LAPD's Southwest Division. He described the

Students run UCLA food service

In some instances, ignorance is bliss.
In others, it can be the difference between getting ripped-off and getting your money's worth.
Students especially feel the pinch of cost of living realities, but when the same roast beef sandwich costs $1.25 more at USC than at UCLA, the abstracts of the cost of living theories assume a gut level meaning.
The explanation of the difference begins at both schools' food services organizations.
Food services at UCLA is divided into two parts
—	residence halls food service and the Associated Students of UCLA (ASL'CLA) food service.
The former is run bv the university and serves only the dormitories.
The ASUCLA food service is a private, student-run corporation whose facilities are scattered throughout the campus
Since the ASUCLA is a private corporation, the university ck>es not control how money is spent within ASUCLA nor can dictate how it is run.
"The only point we (the university and the
ASUCLA) negotiate on is when we want to expand on a piece of property which is owrned by the state under the regents," said Rich Wheeler, director of ASUCLA food sen.’ice s.
Wheeler said he prepares a formal presentation and has to justify his department's expansion.
The students run the food service, the bookstore and the bowling alley as a result of the UC Board of Regents' favorable attitude toward student-run services.
The regents are the university's equivalent of the Board of Trustees.
"Initially, the regents said, in effect, we're here to teach. Nothing more. Consequently, the students started things like the bookstore and the food service for the general student population. We (ASUCLA) even had parking! Talk about giving the gold away!," said Don Findley, executive director of ASUCLA.
ASUCLA no longer runs university parking.
Policy decisions within the ASUCLA are made by the Board of Control, made up of six students and four people from the administration and faculty.

voice as male and not very threatening.
Melton said he would not call the incident a bomb threat per se. "It was rather an incident that involved the word bomb," he said. "He made a weak statement that he had information concerning a bomb, and that further information would come in correspondence."
Campus Security instituted "routine procedure" that in-
volved looking for the bomb and posting signs on the building saying there was a bomb threat.
By afternoon, LAPD said they had no intention of shutting down the building. They considered the risk to be minimal.
"We made a report outlining the context of what was said over the phone. But you people probably didn't have a crime committed," Melton said

SUZANNE NORA
Leader cites benefits of student interaction
By Coleen Pang
"As a student senator, I can't afford to sit back, because I'm responsible and accountable for a lot of people. Success isn't a destination, it's a journey. You're always moving," said Suzanne Nora, chairman of the Student Senate.
Relationships with other people are important but particularly in the 70s, people have been pervaded bv a sense of "me," Nora said.
"I don't think any man or woman can deny that we are all part of each other," Nora said. "If we are to grow as people, as a nation, as a university, it will depend on the interactions among us. We are brought together for social and economic reasons; we cannot survive without someone else."
Nora found a distinct preoccupation with self in the responses to the Student Senate survey that she organized at the beginning of the school year. The survey allowed students to air grievances about services at the universitv.
"When students complain, they don’t think the staff worker is underpaid or works from 9 to 5 in a crummy working place. How that is solved is up to the institution to provide the proper incentive for some kind of interpersonal reaction," Nora said.
Nora's concept of the "Trojan family" is an image used to make people feel some kind of commitment.
"If we really felt that idea of 'family,' we would worry about staff salaries. We would worry about having a ceiling on tuition. We would make a certain level of administration accountable,” Nora said.
I think we're fortunate that we have a pretty good set of deans But there is no evaluation from the bottom up at all. It seems to me that as consumers and providers we should always be questioning and trying to make better what we have," she said.
Nora said students should recognize that if thev would get involved, they would be better off afterwards.
