Organization: USC student-planned event gives high schoolers chance to learn communication skills

Iran is suing the United States for destroying its oil plantations, but the United States claims that it destroyed the plantations because Iran has illegal sea mines in international waters. Is the United States justified in doing that, or will Iran win the lawsuit?
That is one of numerous cases high school students debated and resolved during the Golden State Invitational Model United Nations conference held in various places on campus throughout the wreekend.
GSIMUN is a 3-year-old student orga-
nization that coordinates the three-day conference. The conference encourages high school students to understand global politics and develop lifelong skills of communication, teamwork, how to research and more by role-playing as U.N. representatives and understanding the complexities of global politics.
High school students, who get class or club credit for participating in the conference, are divided into countries and they must act in accordance to their country ’s point of view. Throughout the course of the conference, each of the 10 committees, led by USC students and designed similarly to the United Nations, have two cases in which the countries have to come to a resolution to.
“It is very important for people to have awareness of foreign affairs,” said Crystal Lopez, one of the parliamentarians for the United Nations Environmental Programme committee and a sophomore majoring in international relations. Lopez participated in GSIMUN when she
was in high school and credited the organization for helping her choose her major.
“(GSIMUN) really helps high schoolers become, not only better students, but help them become better citizens by being concerned with foreign affairs and understanding how nations interact with one another," 1-opezsaid.
For example, in the International Atomic Energy Agency committee, one of the cases involves India, Pakistan and nuclear arms. Some of the countries are against India and Pakistan having nuclear arms and are asking them to limit the arms, while others disagree.
Students must analyze the situation from the perspective of the country to which they are assigned and act in accordance to how that real nation would have acted. Countries also collaborate with other nations that share their positions to try solving the case. The students learn the multiple angles of an issue and through debates and caucuses,

Some faculty prove that love in the workplace can enhance relationships

When Dennis Dougherty came to USC in I9HI to revamp the university’s information and financial systems, he asked various university heads for their lists of the 10 people most disgruntled with the current system Carol Shields was at the top of almost all of them.
Nine years later, Dennis and Carol Dougherty happily look back on seven years of marriage, though Dennis admits he is still mostly known around campus as "Carol’s husband.”
Carol Dougherty, the senior assistant dean for administration of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, and Dennis Dougherty, the senior vice president for administration, are one of many staff and faculty couples on campus. All of the couples said that their marriages have been enhanced through their proximity to their spouses.
"It works really well for us," said Helaine Lopes, an athletic trainer who works in Heritage Hall with her husband of seven years, Steve Lopes, assistant director of athletics for business affairs. With their shared involvement in USC athletics, the couple spends almost all of their time together outside of the office as well.
"We get to do the things together that we normally do," Helaine Lopes said. “If I had my job somewhere else, we’d both be involved in our own situation so much (marriage) might not even be possible."
Pat Riley, director of the School of Communication, said that marriage has enhanced the relationship she has with her husband, Tom Hollihan, associate dean of academic affairs for the School of Communication.
“I think my work is enriched by having conversations that take place outside of the workplace that are intellectually stimulating and thought-provoking in ways that might "not happen if I happened to be married to (someone else),” Riley said. Hollihan agreed.

Groups: Radio station begins news broadcast on internet; Trojan Vision on Channel 36

Though once limited to the USC campus, student radio and television broadcasts can now reach larger audiences as Annenberg TV News and Annenberg Radio News start broadcasts on the internet and Trojan Vision begins to air on a local channel.
Annenberg Radio News, a weekly
half-hour news program comprised of a newscast, features, entertainment and sports programs, joined the Trojan family of media with its first broadcast Friday. The radio broadcast premiered on the KSCR web site, although the success of the web broadcast of the show remains unknown.
“(The internet) reaches out to audiences that may not learn about (what’s occurring in) other places (or even with) themselves,” said Loren Ghiglione, director of the School of Journalism. “(Above all,) the internet serves an international market.”
The internet, when used in conjunction with radio journalism, can transform the manner by which society views the media and even how the media is affected.
“(The internet), which is the primary means by which the world seeks and accesses their news from around the world, will only permit more opportunities in the field of radio journalism to develop,” said Julie Smalls, a graduate student in journalism.
Since the broadcast of the Annenberg Radio News via the internet, Smalls, a co-anchor, expects two effects. One is greater exposure for Annenberg Radio News.
Most importantly, Smalls predicted that the broadcast would even amplify the demographics of their audience.
“The internet will rejuvenate radio,” Smalls said.
The other co-anchor, John Franchi, a junior majoring in broadcast journalism, expected similar results. Already
involved in a variety of campus media, including KSCR and A7V7V, Franchi had few misgivings about the success of the radio news’ first broadcast.
“(I had) great expectations and confidence in the program,” Franchi said. “After all, Annenberg Radio News is a high quality program that delivers the hard facts."
Trojan Vision, a student-run television program, has also joined the ranks of other USC media in utilizing other agencies for enhancing their exposure.
Recently, channel 36 picked up Trojan Vision, meaning that a greater audience can now access the program -about 1.7 million viewers.
“With channel 36 picking up our show, we’re even expecting 10 million
