USC’s own statue evokes reflection
Tommy Trojan is more than just a hunk of sculpted bronze with a big sword; he represents another time, another place and another mentality that USC students should emulate.

Greeks discuss changes at Order of Omega retreat
By Lisa Heimlich
Diversions Editor
Among the topics discussed at the annual Order of Omega Greek Leadership Retreat in San Diego this past weekend were recruitment and retention of new members, creating a positive image of Greeks on campus and increasing communication and interaction between houses on the Row.
The theme of this year's event, "Choices and Challenges," focused on the need for change in the Greek system in order for it to remain a positive force at USC. Members of the Order, leaders from the chapters on the Row and faculty and student affairs representatives brainstormed on proposals designed to improve the quality of Greek life.
The weekend featured panels, seminars and sessions on topics such as ethics, diversity, public image and elitism.
A highlight of the retreat was guest speaker Eileen Stevens, founder of C.H.U.C.K., the Committee to Halt Useless College Killings, named for her son who died as a result of a 1978 fraternity hazing incident at Alfred University in New York.
Stevens spoke of her desire to educate Greeks across the country about the senseless violence and tremendous alcohol abuse traditionally associated with hazing. She also noted that elected officials need to enact anti-hazing laws to prevent more deaths on campuses.
"I'm not here because I want to offend you, I'm here because I want you to think,"
Stevens said. "I want to ask you to examine your programs . . . look carefully into what goes on.
'Tragedy has a way of getting our priorities in order," she said.
Ken Taylor, director of the Office of Residential and Greek Life, commented on the students' attempt to create proactive policies for change and improve public relations.
"I think (the weekend) enabled them to look at the perennial issues differently," Taylor said. "They will respond to the things talked about here with a sense of urgency and will move towards change.
"I think this was a very hopeful sign," he said.

Somalia. Human rights. Religious freedom. USC students, acting as delegates from Great Britain and Holland in a mock United Nations conference last fall, debated, discussed and acted on these and other international issues.
At the conference, held in Irvine, students also got the opportunity to discuss the Rio Environmental Summit, women's rights and nuclear non-proliferation. Students got a taste of life across the borders: north, south, east and west.
The Model United Nations is designed to bring students together to learn more about international affairs by simulating U.N. sessions, according to Lore Unt, president of International Relations Undergraduate Affairs and one of the organizers of the (See Model U.N., page 6)

Student activists protested in front of Carl’s Jr. Monday afternoon.
By Neal Davis and Michelle Ladd
Staff Writers
A small but determined group of activists gathered at the university's Carl's Jr. Monday protesting an ad that was withdrawn two years ago.
Nearly 15 members of Trojans for Choice, alleging that a recent advertisement for the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich promotes racism, circulated a flyer entitled "Boycott Bigotburgers," to patrons.
The flyer said the ad glorifies the oppression of Native Americans by claiming that "the Indians," "the Spaniards," and "the cowboys" did "just what they

were supposed to do" to create Santa Fe cooking.
The flyer stated because native civilizations were "raped, pillaged, infected and murdered. . . you get a great chicken sandwich."
Patty Parks, media relations representative for Carl Karcher Enterprises, said, "Within three days of hearing any complaints about the (Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich) commercial the ad was changed to make it more sensitive."
Parks said the sandwich was introduced in March, 1991 and that, after the initial complaints, the ad was not used anymore.
Iris Djauheri, president of Trojans for Choice, said they were still protesting the ad because, "We believe he still donates to organizations we don't agree with."
Parks said the organization's accusations were "just defamatory statements and we do not respond to them."
Campus reaction to the protest was mixed.
Pablo Kleinman, a junior majoring in international relations and one of the protestors, said, "I was holding a sign that said, 'Carl is a Fascist.' People said, 'Oh, I'm a fascist. That's why I eat there'. . . "
The group will be in front of Carl's Jr. until Thursday.
"I would encourage the owners of Carl's Jr. to sensitize themselves to pro-choice, gay rights and racial equality," said Allen Eisenach, a graduate student in cinema production, who was passing by.
