Student’s murder shocks campus Friends unite to memorialize Danny Charles By Barbra Carofalo and Huan Le Staff Writers A memorial service will be held today for Danny Charles, a 19-year-old USC student who was found dead in the trunk of his car late Monday. Charles' body, along with the bodies of his parents, Edward and Dolores Charles, were found burned in their Honda outside a school in La Mirada. Danny Charles was an aspiring opera singer and a Resident Advisor in Century Apartments. A memorial was held for him Wednesday at Century Apartments with over 40 people attending. Some, overcome by tears, had to leave early. Close friends remember him as someone with a love for life. “He was just a great guy," said a close friend. "When he laughed he made you laugh." Charles is also remembered for his talent as a singer. "When he was happy you could hear it when he sang. When he was sad, you could feel it in his voice." LAPD is continuing to investige the murders. Charles' father, 55, an engineer at Hughes Aircraft in Fullerton and mother, 47, a real estate agent, were found in the back seat of the car. Dental records have confirmed the identities of the victims. The coroner's report said the cause of death of the two men was blunt force trauma to the head. The cause of death for his (See Memorial, page 2) Local scholars get college experience USC magnet school offers academic opportunities to LAUSD students By Allison Vana Staff Writer The Los Angeles Unified School District-USC Math, Science, and Technology Magnet High School opened its doors on Sept. 8, • and is working to provide high school students with a memorable learning experience. "We are different from all other magnets in that we are very small," said Kim Tnom-as-Barrios, magnet coordinator. "We share school grounds with another school, but we are not a part of that school." The magnet school shares a campus with 32nd Street School, but classes are also held on the USC campus. "I really feel like we're a part of USC, sort of as the USC High School," Thomas-Barrios said. "We rely on USC like a mother school. (USC) provides classroom space, experts in many fields — a lot of what other high schools don't have." Students are involved in classes that meet at different times throughout the week, much like a college schedule. "At a normal high school we wouldn't have as many opportunities as we do at this school," said Jessica Trejo, a ninth grader at the magnet school. The school is one of about 20 new magnets added throughout the Los Angeles area, which offer education in specialized areas, including performing ana visual arts, humanities, and science, math and technology. "I think the magnet program is cool. I get a better education here and experiences to learn that I never knew I'd have before," said Orlando Ramirez, a ninth grader at the magnet school. "I'm learning a lot especially in the math and science program. And even though we have privileges at this school, we have responsibilities to go along with that.'' "We have strict rules about being on time and those who can't maintain a schedule usually don't make it and have to go to a more structured high school," Thomas-Barrios said. "But by far we have a very intellectual, mature group of students this year who are learning to be personally responsible. Those who refuse to learn wouldn't be happy here." Students are required to take four years each of English, math and science classes. The math requirement exceeds district and state expectations, Thomas-Barrios said. USC's involvement provides classroom space, as well as a program in which USC students tutor the students during their daily 40-minute study group. "The departments at USC with which we are involved really depend on our curriculum, but everyone I've called so far has been more than willing to help us," Thomas-Barrios said. (See Magnet, page 2) Actress / writer Bacall speaks on campus Classic movie star discusses career, life, friendships in public interview By Kim Smith City Editor Lauren Bacall, two-time Tony winning actress famous for her roles in movie classics such as "To Have and Have Not," "Key Largo" and "The Big Sleep," spoke to a crowd of more than 100 at Town and Gown yesterday. In the interview with Victoria Steele, head of Special Collections for USC Libraries, Bacall said her appearance and her books are attempts to clear up misconceptions that have surfaced throughout her career, ''In actual fact, Americans have a terrible tendency to pigeonhole," she said. "Whatever they connect you with first, you tend to remain. My first character became 'me,' and I wasn't like that." "It's something I've had to explain all my life," Bacall said. Bacall spoke briefly about her past work and relationships, as well as her husband and co-star Humphrey Bogart. However, Bacall also said she feels she has more to talk about than her 12-year marriage to Bogart. "I've lived more years without him than I did with him," she said. "But he will remain a part of my life and I want him tt). "I will never forget it, but I don't dwell on it. I've done things since then — too much stress on my Bogie life tends to negate the rest of my life." Bacall also reminisced about her friendships with politician and one-time presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson and actor Kirk Douglas. She spoke about her admiration for Stevenson, and her first meeting with Douglas. "He was older than I was, and he had a very thin overcoat," she recalled. "My uncle had an extra overcoat and I prevailed on him to let me have it, so I could give it to Kirk. I was a starstruck I6-year-old and I had a crush on him," she said. It is friendships like these that have sustained Bacall through the many years of her career, she said. "1 value friendship more highly than I do most relationships," Bacall said. "I believe friendship is the most sustaining relationship there is. When you live alone, you rely on friends to a much greater degree." "I've been very lucky in my friends," she said. "We're a society of couples," she went on. "I think it's a bore, frankly. But it's a natural thing to think in terms of pairs. Not many women want another woman around; although many men do want another woman around," Bacall said she recently sold her house because of the feeling of solitude. "It's a fact of life, I fear, and it's not going to change. I'd rather be in Paris anyway," she joked. Bacall said she enjoys working and has no intention of (See Bacall, page 2)
