Sepulveda, will visit USC Friday and Saturday to participate
in a seminar with students and faculty members
from the university's international programs.
He will speak to students at 4:30 p.m. Friday in Gambrell
Hall auditorium.

secretary general of international affairs of the Institutional
Revolutionary Party and served on presidentelect
Miguel de la Madrid's campaign as adviser on international
affairs.
He was an organizer and a member of the Mexican
delegation to the Cancun summit meeting on international

His visit is timely because de la Madrid will take office
Dec. 1 as Mexico's 21st president.
De la Madrid will inherit from incumbent Lopez Portillo
a country with many political problems. According to
Time magazine, Mexico is "in the throes of a profound
economic and social crisis."
"Inflation is running at an annual rate of about 60
percent, and last February the Mexican peso suffered a 40
percent devaluation."
As a result, Mexico's $52 billion foreign debt is among
the highest in the Third World, according to Time.

The new officers said the major problems ^
that must be addressed are CPU's image,
low membership and occasional lack of
communication. The recent name change
(CPU was called Russell House University ;
Union) is part of promoting student
awareness of the Union's purpose, German

Crime at USC d
By Glenn Burkins

Occurences of seven major crimes decreased by 7.4 percent
in the first nine months of 1982, according to figures
released by a USC official.
The decrease was from 718 incidents from January to p]
September 1981, to 665 incidents during the same period in n
1982. The seven major crimes are murder, rape, robbery,
assault, breaking and entering, larceny and motor vehicle
theft.
si
The largest reduction was robbery, which decreased 62.5 0)
percent, from eight incidents in the aforementioned 1981 ^
period to three incidents in the same period in 1982. Rape
showed the largest increase, from one incident in 1981's e
period to two in 1982's.
THESE TWO STATISTICS should not be viewed as drastic Si
changes, said Carl Stokes, systems vice president for law tl
enforcement and safety. Because there have been so few
incidents of either crime, any change at all would seem
drastic, Stokes said. ^
Other crimes that show increases are breaking and en- r<
tering, which increased from 80 to 115 incidents, and motor c
vehicle theft, which increased from 19 to 21, while larceny
decreased from 580 to 498 incidents.
There were no incidents of murder in either year. a
Of the 115 incidents of breaking and entering, 88 occurred u
in living quarters and 27 occurred in offices and classrooms. P
Stokes said although this area has shown a significant 'I
decrease, the number could be further decreased through h
greater student and faculty awareness. P

"I hope that students don't resent this (checking IDs),"
tokes said. "It's for them and their protection, not to find out
lings about them."
Stokes said persons who have a legitimate reason to be on
ampus have nothing to worry about, even if they are not
ISC students. The policy is aimed at those who have no
eason to be on campus or who have been warned to stay off
ampus.
ALTHOUGH USC is public property, police have the

niversity is a residential area. "We have people here who
