Former Clinton adviser talks of politics, scandal
Spectrum: Liberal political analyst shares own view of Lewinsky matter in capitol
By JENNIFER KELLEHER
Staff Writer
George Stephanopoulos, a self-proclaimed liberal democrat and former adviser to President Clinton, spoke about his concerns surrounding the presidential scandal during Tuesday night’s Spectrum Lecture Series even though he started the night by cracking Monica Lewinsky jokes.
The nearly packed Bovard Auditorium audience roared in laughter when Stephanopoulos jokingly claimed that Lewinsky was really after him. He then spoke of his thoughts on the effects of the scandal.
‘I know politics can get nasty but I do believe most people get involved to make people’s lives better,” said the political analyst. *1 try to match my idealism with pragmatism.”
The event was co-produced by Spectrum and the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
Although Stephanopoulos called the president’s actions deplorable and indefensible, he said, *1 think (Clinton) has done well for this country.
*1 can’t tathom how someone so intelli-gent...could throw it all away on such a selfish act,” he said. Btspite the controversy surrounding the president, he said the country remains strong.
Stephanopoulos said he does not think Clinton should be impeached, although he could not defend Clinton’s actiohs.
“Even worse, when comforted with evidence, Clinton lied,” he said. “All of us are sinners, we all make mistakes.” He also said independent counsel Kenneth Starr’s actions are wrong as well.

Business school ranks in top tier
RanklnO: MBA program makes nation’s top 25 in recent Business Week survey for first time
By KRIS VAN CLEAVE
Staff Writer
USC’s Marshall School of Business is now officially a top tier business school, according to the recent Business Week survey called "The top B schools.”
The business school appeared for the first time in the renowned survey, ranked at No. 25- The survey ranks the top 25 business schools every two years.
“We have established ourselves as one of the elite business schools in the world,” said Randolph Westerfield, dean of the Marshall School of Business.
Earlier this year the business school was ranked No. 21, up from 34, by US. News and World Report. The MBA-PM (night) program was ranked ninth, and the Executive MBA (or EMBA) was ranked 10th.
“We think that it reflects the hard work and quality of our students, faculty and our programs,” Westerfield said. “(We have) strong students, world class faculty and great programs. This was just a reflection of those strong fundamentals.”
This has been a banner year for the business school, Westerfield said.
It reached its capital campaign goal of $100 million, two and a half years early, and started construction on its new facility, Popovich Hall, which will open June 1,1999. The school established an alumni association that currently has around
3,000	dues-paying members.
Also, this year the business school had the largest MBA applicant pool ever. The new class had the highest average GMAT score of 650 in the school's history. It had a selection rate of 26 percent, the lowest in the school’s history. The
business school recruited 10 new faculty members and began a new endowment.
“By making the top 25 we are now in that top tier...that people focus on,” said Anne Loveland, a second-year MBA student.
“I think it is almost a milestone that we are heading toward a nationwide top tier school,” said Ting-Ting Chen, a first-year MBA student.
“I am happy that we are ranked...it will help us improve the applicant pool,” said Douglas Joines, a finance professor who has been at USC since 1977.
This ranking will draw more people to the business school, said Keith Vaughn, director of MBA admissions. The school is expecting to receive 2,500 applications for 300 openings.
“Business Week’s ranking will help us get on the radar of many students,” Vaughn said.
“I think when it really comes down to it, its what students value...I love USC

Entrepreneur student starts own company in production
By CHRYSTA WILSON

Little did David Rosen know that when he got his first stereo in junior high that it would lead to a self-made proprietorship and a success beyond belief.
Rosen is not only a full-time senior majoring in business with an emphasis in entrepreneurial studies and a member of the prestigious Marshall School of Business’ Lloyd Greif Entrepreneurial program, he is also a DJ and the head of his own company called Kinetic Productions. He books bands, DJs and produces concerts and shows.
It was in 1989 that Rosen realized that he loved being a DJ. At this time he also realized that hard work was the only way to make his dream turn into a shimmering reality.
“1 didn’t get right into DJ-ing,” said the 21-year-old from Los Angeles. When he decided that being a DJ and producing musk shows were his chosen path, he sold that stereo and worked for minimum wage to buy his dream system, piece by piece.
Rosen said he began his own business on instincts by watching his mother through the years.
“It was an implied learning experi-

All of House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s talk about the importance of the information superhighway finally paid off for him Tuesday when, unable to travel to California for a scheduled question-and-answer event at Bovard Auditorium, he used satellite and modem technology to attend the event from Washington, D.C.
The amended arrangements for the event came together Monday morning when Gingrich notified the sponsors, Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics and the Department of Political Science, and told them he would be unable to come to USC due to the continuing
