USC has made no payments on
its $2.8 million agreement with
the Folger theatre in Washington
because the university has not
reeeiveu a private aonauon ior
the program, USC attorney Paul
Ward said Friday.
USC and the Shakespeare
Theatre at the Folger this past July
entered into the six-year agreement
that, among other things,
provides internships and appren*ticeships
for USC students and
money for the theatre, renowned
for its productions of
Shakespeare's works.

to renegotiate the program,
Ward said.
Ward would not say why the
university had not received the
donation and would not describe
tne arrangement for receiving it.
"We are still hopeful it will
materialize and are still pursuing
other private donations," he
said.
"The donation has not
materialized as yet. No payments

Ward said, declining comment on
possible terms of a new
agreement.
The State Saturday quoted
Robert Linlowes, chairman of
the Shakespeare Theatre board of
trustees, as saying USC has
"been very candid, very upfront
about their inability to pay."
USC agreed to pay the theatre
$300,000 this year and $500,000
for each of the next five years
from a private anonymous donation
designated for that purpose.
The money was to go toward
operations of the theatre, which
came close to closing in 1985
because of financial problems.
In return, the Folger agreed to
provide apprenticeships and internships
for USC students, present
one production a year in
South Carolina and send its instructors
to teach courses at
USC.

Sex discr

sexuai discrimination is not
perceived as a problem in USC
classrooms, according to a recent
TELLUS poll.
The poll, surveying 276 randomly
selected USC students,
shows about 96 percent of the
males and 90 percent of the
females do not think they have
been excluded from classroom
activities because of sex biases.
About 25 percent of the males
think they are sometimes treated
differently in class solely because
of their gender, compared to 16
percent of the females.
While over half of the students
polled think being addressed by a
professor as honey,
"sweetie," or "dear" is sexist,
about 70 percent had never been
in a class where students were addressed
that way.
More than two-thirds of both
male (68 percent) and female (68
percent) students did not think
their major catered to a specific
sex. About 79 percent of the
males and 70 percent of the
females expect their salaries to be
equal to members of the opposite
sex with the same job position.

Derrick McFarland, a political
science senior, said he has seen
sexual discrimination in the
classroom when a female student
received a lower grade. "I think it
was because the teacher didn't
like girls too much," he said.
McFarland said the teacher
favored the males in the class and
said the reason may be because
government is often thought of as
male-oriented.

they should make the same."
