SE BOWL BOUND
Peete, USC defense destroy UCLA, 31-22
By Darryn James
Assistant Sports Editor
USC coach Larry Smith was all smiles after the contest.
"It's sweeter . . . rosier," he gleamed when asked to compare this year's win over the UCLA Bruins with last season's.
In one fell swoop, USC (10-0, 8-0 in the Pacific 10 Conference) defeated its cross-town rival, earned a berth into>a record 26th Rose Bowl and kept its quest for a national championship alive.
But the Trojans' 31-22 victory over the Bruins will not be remembered for any of those things. Instead, people will be talking about one of the greatest efforts in collegiate football history.
Diagnosed last week with the measles, USC quarterback Rodney Peete spent two nights at St. Mary's Hospital in Long Beach. It seemed that the showdown for the Heisman Trophy between Peete and UCLA quarter-
back Troy Aikman would not materialize and that USC's dreams of an undefeated season might go down the drain.
However, Peete wasn't about to let that happen.
When Peete was announced as the starting quarterback, the crowd of 100,741 Bruin and Trojan fans at the Rose Bowl let out a huge roar. There would be no excuses — the game would go on as it was meant to be.
Statistically, Peete has had better games. He completed 16 of 28 passes for 189 yards and one touchdown. Aikman, on the other hand, had career highs for completions and attempts, going 32 of 48 for 317 yards and two touchdowns.
But once again, it w'as Peete and the Trojans who came out on top.
"I've been around football a long time, and Rodney's performance was one of the greatest (See USC, page 11)

A student and former employee of University Security and Parking Operations has been charged by the district attorney's office with one count of rape.
Noah Bannis Berry, an undeclared sophomore, could face up to eight years in jail if convicted on the charge, said Andy Reynolds, press secretary for the dis-
trict attorney's office.
The case marks the first time a university student accused of date rape has been charged by the district attorney's office, said University Security Chief Steven Ward.
"As far as I know', this is the only acquaintance rape at USC that has been formally charged," Ward said.
Berry met a USC student at a party on Oct. 16 and they re-(See Charge, page 6)
About 1,000 line up for shots
Four more get measles; media coverage raises awareness of outbreak
By Nola Sarkisian

Four more cases of measles were reported as of last Friday afternoon — bringing the total to 45 — amid increased efforts to vaccinate students, faculty and staff members, a university health official said.
"The response has been tremendous and students are having a blast," said Allan Ebbin, director of the Student Health Center. "They're very patient and are asking a lot of questions."
Almost 1,000 students lined up Friday to get vaccinations at Tommy Trojan and the Student Health Center. The vaccinations were given by officials from the
health center and the county health department.
Ebbin said recent media publicity raised student awareness.
"If Rodney Peete hadn't gotten the measles, there wouldn't be as many people here," he said.
"A super-god like Rodney Peete gets it, then anybody can get it," said Zechiel Scott, a senior computer science major.
More than 500 people were inoculated at Tommy Trojan between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Friday, said Loring Dales, chief of the immunization program for the county health department.
"There is no harm in getting it done," Dales said. "Measles is explosive — it spreads like wildfire. We suspect 15 percent of the student body to be infected."
The vaccine officials are administering a single injection to prevent the spread of measles, also known as rubeola, and rubella, or German measles.

THE CHAMPIONS — Quarterback Rodney Peete celebrates with Scott Galbraith (86) and John Jackson (1) after USC’s big 31-22 win over UCLA last Saturday. That victory sealed the Pacific 10 Conference title for the Trojans, guaranteeing them a return trip to the Rose Bowl.
Trojan fans on campus find ways to show support for football team
By Marjorie Kittle

The campus community was pretty quiet last Saturday afternoon — except when the USC football team scored, and of course after it won.
Periodic cheers erupting from apartment complexes broke the silence on the streets — if loyal Trojan fans couldn't be in Pasadena, at least they could still show their support for the team while watching the game on television.
Some who didn't want to watch the game at home alone went to The Grill or the 502 Club.
In both places, the enthusiasm easily matched anything Pasadena had to offer and, among those gathered, there was no doubt that USC would win the game.
Most people said they wanted to be at the game but couldn't afford tickets or were not among the
6,000	students who received tickets in the lottery
—	so they settled for television.
"I'm not moving till the last second ticks," said Angela Bonet, a senior majoring in international relations and French, who w'as watching the game at The Grill.
"I'm not a great football expert, but I know when we win, and we've been doing a lot of that. . . it's great," Bonet said. "I'm glad (Rodney) is playing. I've been nervous."
Other lottery losers at The Grill were disappointed they were not at the game, but Aggie Edralin, a sophomore majoring in cinema, said, "We're here because we have Trojan spirit and we want to see
