As Trojan fans gear up for the traditional Stanford Weekender, San Francisco merchants and hotel owners are preparing for the increased cash flow that follows the USC faithful.
Although no statistics were available, Alan Rosenberg, research analyst for the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, said, "Let me tell you right now, you people have picked the most expensive area in which to stay. Even the small hotels cost a lot of money."
The average businessman visiting San Francisco spends $160 per day for hotel, food and transportation during a stay in the dty, the San Frandsco Travel Bureau said.
The annual Trojan trip to San Frandsco is a major production.

After a week of classes, Trojans are taking off for the traditional San Frandsco Weekender. In search of the ultimate party experience, these weekday scholars may turn into raving maniacs as they take full advantage of every bar, dance dub and hotel within taxi distance of Union Square.
"I plan to drink many beers," said Scott Zigman, a junior majoring in business. "We don't have a specific place to stay, just wherever we can park our Winnebago."
The hoopla begins at 6 p.m. Friday, when a university cocktail party in the Grand Ballroom of the St. Frands Hotel will feature the award-winning Trojan Marching Band, song girls and yell leaders.

International symposium to spotlight medical field
By Steve Ostini
Staff Writer
An international health symposium highlighting opportunities in medical fields overseas will be held Saturday at the Health Sciences campus.
The day-long conference is intended to shed tight on global health issues. Topics will indude international health electives for medical and pharmacy students, domestic and overseas careers in international health, planning and financing overseas health careers, and current health care issues in developing countries.
The^ small number of American doctors working abroad will be an issue addressed at the conference.
Because the International Health Opportunities program is in its infancy, exact figures on the number of U.S. doctors abroad are not available, said Dr. G. June Marshall, associate professor of medicine at the USC School of Medicine.
"But it is very small," she said.
Marshall credits the efforts of a committee consisting of nine medical and pharmaceutical students for organizing the symposium. "The students did it/' she said.
Todd Berinstein, one of the
a n
organizing committee's members, said, "One of the reasons for having the symposium is the lack of awareness of medical and pharmacy students on the possibility of practicing abroad.
"There have been problems in the past with students who wanted to go abroad but did not know how to go about making contacts," Berinstein said.
The symposium is "definitely" open to all interested students, whether they have majors in health-related fields or not, Marshall said.
The cost at the door is $5 for students and $15 for health professionals, which covers admission, a continental breakfast and lunch.
More than 100 people are expected at the symposium, sponsored by the university's schools of medicine and pharmacy and the College of the Pacific School of Osteopathic Medidne, Berinstein !

Staff Writer
WASHINGTON — After months of stalling and cancellations, presidential candidates George Bush and Michael Dukakis finally are going to address the issues in their first debate Sept. 25 at Wake Forest University ki Salem, N.C.
As of Thursday, no official time was set for the debate and no tickets were allotted yet for students, faculty, alumni or the general public.
"It's exciting to see the students' eyes tight up," said Andrea Freeman, director of media relations at Wake Forest. "They're all talking about politics. There has been so much interest locally and on campus."
The candidates axe debating on neutral ground since the college, founded originally as a private Baptist school, is considered "moderate by Southern standards," Freeman said.

By Brad Bowlin
Assistant City Editor
The university has hired a new vice president of general counsel to oversee USC's legal affairs, Lyn Hutton, vice president of administration, told the faculty assembly Thursday.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Christian Markey Jr. will take over the position in early October.
Judge William Hogoboom, the previous vice president of general counsel, announced in May he would resign from the position, but said he would remain on the university's legal staff as a special adviser, Hutton said.
Markey was appointed to the Superior Court bench in 1974. He was elected in 1976, and re-elected in 1982 and 1988.
A law professor at Whittier College, Markey is a past president of the Los Angeles Bar Association and a former member of the University of California Board of Regents.
He earned his bachelor of arts degree at UC Berkeley before attending law school at UCLA.

By Christine Carr

The living and working patterns of older Americans are changing dramatically as people over 55 live longer and re-enter the work force more often, a university demographer said Thursday.
The statistics on increased life expectancies and labor force activity were presented by Mark Hayward, associate professor of gerontology.
The lecture, "Recent Changes in Mortality and Labor Force Behavior among Older Americans: Consequences for Non-working Life Expectancy" began a six-week multidisciplinary colloquium series addressing care for senior citizens.
Hayward's study compared statistics from 1972 and 1980 and found
