trojan Volume XCVIV, Number 8 University of Southern California Wednesday, July 10, 1985 Student group proposes spirit section seating Museums bring a world of fun to USC’s own back yard DAWN IRVINE/SUMMER TROJAN The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum will again be home to the Trojan football team next season. Whether it will also be home to the Trojan Pride’s proposed Trojan Spirit Section will be decided later this summer. USC alumna elected president of county American Lung Association By Scott Butterworth USC alumna Helen Williams of Los Angeles has been elected president of the American Lung Association of Los Angeles County for the 1985-86 term, executive director William Keyser announced recently. Williams, a retired public school teacher and sdministis-lui, received her AB degree from USC in 1943, and her Master's degree in education from USC in 1969. She has been a Lung Association volunteer since 1953. "I am honored to have been selected," Williams said . "I am looking forward to working with the staff and volunteers in continuing to provide informational, educational programs to the community. Expanded programing will be possible as a result of the association's recent move tc ne-.v headquarters at 5858 Wilshire Blvd." The Lung Assoc:ation strives to be 3 hioh-nrofi1« r ----------------- tion. "Our biggest job is informing the public about lung health, especially in regard to preventing lung problems," said Williams. "Circulating pamphlets, advertising and sharing information is a regular part of our job." The move to the Wilshire location was prompted by the development of various new outreach programs, including Pass-up. Divised in cooperation with the USC Health Behavior Research Institiute, the program encourages fifth and sixth grade students not to start smoking. Williams’ responsibilities will include planning and imple- Ip cuuLwLlUuai piugiain^ on lung health for the Los Angeles County schools and the general public, and in addition, conducting seminars for doctors and corporate employees. Williams will be responsible for organizing the Children's Asthmatic Camp, supervising limited patient services and overseeing all activities of the local (Continued, on page 2) By Stacey Schmeidel The Trojan Pride, a student spirit committee recently organized under the auspices of the Student Senate, has drafted a proposal that will establish a student spirit section at next year's home football games. The Pride — a group consisting of 11 representatives from student spirit, service and housing organizations and 10 "student at large" representatives — approved the proposal at its meeting last week. It was submitted to the university Games Committee earlier this week and will be voted on as soon as possible this summer, said Games Committee member Don Ludwig. Under the new proposal, 1,313 seats in rows 12 — 29 of sections 21 and 22 will be designated as a special "Trojan Spirit Section." Students wishing to sit in these seats must submit their ticket coupons (in groups of up to 20) to the Ticket Office Monday and Tuesday of a home football game week so that their coupons may be entered in a special spirit section lottery that will be held Wednesday of that week. Students who receive spirit section seats must return to the Ticket Office Thursday and Friday to pick up their tickets. "It's more work. It's a greater inconvenience," admitted Trojan Pride chairperson Kcvir. Bogart. "But we figure that the people who are willing to get uutcia lugetner, stand in line early Monday morning and come back to the Ticket Office a second time — those people are going to be the most spirited." The Ticket Office will keep a running tally of coupons submitted; if 1,313 coupons are turned in before the deadline Tuesday afternoon the spirit section lottery is declared (Continued on page 4) UCLA students sit pretty with festival plan By Stacey Schmeidel They're loud. They're strong. They're powerful. They're UCLA. Yes, UCLA. We at USC do just about everything better than our counterparts in Westwood. But when it comes to spirit, there are those that would argue, "UCLA has it, how about you?" As if last year's loss to UCLA at the Rose Bowl weren't embarrassing enough, UCLA's student section — with its scripted "UCLA" card stunts and the sheer volume of its cheers — put USC to shame. How do they do it? What can we at TJ5C uO to inspire in our hearts a spirit equal to or greater than theirs? Can changes in student w ‘—---- O bring about corresponding changes in spirit? Student seating at UCLA home football games is conducted on a first come, first served basis, explained Ken Weiner, UCLA Assistant Ticket Director. Students purchse general admission tickets for $4 and then are free to sit wherever they want within the student section. (Continued on page 4) By Stacey Schmeidel The best things in life, as they say, are free. And the very best things in life are things that are free and can be found in your own back yard. If that's the case, then USC has a veritable treasure chest buried in its figurative back yard. Located just across Exposition Boulevard, within easy walking distance of the main campus, is a collection of museums offering exhibits of everything from prehistoric animals to futuristic displays of computer technology. It's a day's worth of interesting and entertaining viewing — all for the low, low price of almost absolutely nothing. Almost nothing. The Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, located in the large brick building at the west end of the park, charges a nominal fee for admission. The 75 cents admssion that your student I.D. card guarantees makes this one of the most worthwhile investments around. This museum has 70-million-year-old dinosaur bones and a dinosaur that actually moves and roars. African and American mammals in realistic settings face each other in opposing exhibition halls. And if you don't enjoy looking at stuffed animals that used to be little live things, amble on over to the Garland Hall of American History. Or spend some time in the Natural History Museum's E. Hadley Stuart Jr. Hall of Gems and Minerals. This exhibit features an extensive collection of some of the world's most breathtaking gems, including the marvelous 102 carat Ashberg Diamond. Leaving the Museum of Natural History and walking east through the park, you're bound to wander into the California Museum of Science and Industry. No admission here, so go on in and check out "Yesterday's Tomorrows," a fascinating look at the way people 20, 30 and 40 years ago thought the world would look 20, 30 and 40 years from now. Exhibits range from a large-scale model of Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion "Nucleon" ( an energy- and light-conserving living space that is mobile and suspended from a central mast) to early depictions of superweapons, future homes, and serious and sometimes whimsical models of space and terrestrial vehicles. Things on display here range from architectural models to comic books and (Continued on page 4) These robots are included in the "Yesterday’s Tomorrows” exhibit that can be seen at the California Museum of Science and Industry through July 21.
