Professors can receive more than interesting conversation when dining with their students — they can get a free meal.
The Office of Residential and Greek Life offers students the opportunity to sign up for vouchers worth up to $7 that can be redeemed for a professors meal anywhere on campus.
"It was started to get more faculty-student interaction outside office hours," said Jason Scott, who coordinates the Academic Integration Model which oversees the program.
The meals between professors and students are student-initiated and students receive the vouchers by signing up in the Office of Residential and Greek Life, Scott said. The program provides 35 vouchers per semester. Two-thirds of these have been used already this semester,

By MARY HOLING
Contributing Writer
Members of the USC oncology department teamed up with doctors from all over the country to create a 10-year clinical trial to test the effects of using chemotherapy in patients suffering from bladder can cer.
The recently concluded trial, which was put on by the Southwest Oncology Group, has found that bladder cancer patients who use chemotherapy before bladder removal can live longer and can sometimes be cured.
Hundreds of patients who were identified as bladder removal candidates participated in the study.
The study found that patients who were not given chemotherapy before the surgery were more likely to suffer relapses, said Dr. Derek Raghavan, professor of oncology and chief of the division at USC.
"We found that we were able to double the cure rate of patients with the use of chemotherapy," Raghavan said.
The results of this trial were published in the New England Journal- of Medicine, Raghavan said.
Although it is not yet known what effect this study will have on cancer research, it has generated a I see Cancer, page 3 I

The editorial, written by David L. Kirp, a professor of public policy at UC Berkeley, and author ol "Shakespeare, Einstein Mid the Bottom Line: The Marketing of Higher Education,” pro voked negative reactions from admin istrators at USC.
"He was tarring all universities with the same brush, saying we are Ui get mg professors who don't teach, and that is absolutely not true at USC,” said
Al Kildow, adviser for the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
Officials at USC said that Kirp's assessment of USC was not accurate. Joseph Aoun. dean of the College, wrote a letter to The New York Times, refuting the statements made by Kirp USC also wrote Kirp a note in response to his article, Kirp said.
In the article, Kirp examined New York University and other universities that he said recruited experts in van ous fields by baiting them with high paychecks and numerous research opportunities. Kirp said that once
hired, these experts have very few teaching responsibilities and no real alliance to the school.
"1 think the university has to have (its) priorities straight,” Kirp said in a phone interview.
He added that many universities will simply "find the biggest names (they) can, and give them centers of their own and let them do what they want"
Kirp wrote in the editorial that USC was the most recent school to openly join the bandwagon, whan they announced their $100 million recruit-

Prepare for Saturdays game in style
Top of his lungs
I t is the day that all true Trojans look forward to — a sea of cardi nal and gold, the smell of barbecues across campus and the low rumble of the Spirit of Troy in the distance.
Saturday’s homecoming game is one of the most school-spirited days of the year, and every year, Trojans celebrate in style.
Students, alumni and faculty alike begin game days by dressing in the traditional cardinal and gold colors of USC.
“Usually we always have an increase in requests for clothing when it’s a home game but especially when it’s Homecoming, so we’re stocking up,” said Jennifer Lewis, a bookstore employee.
