$20-million donation largest for school
By Francesca Cimino

On its 90th anniversary, the USC School of Education received an unprecedented surprise: $20 million and a new name.
In a celebration that took place Tuesday in front of Waite Phillips Hall, Guilbert Hentschke, dean of the School of Education, announced the generous endowment made by Barbara and Roger Rossier, alumni and major contributors to both the school and the university.
"It's the single largest gift to a school of education in the country," said Molly Cooney, the director of development at the School of Education.
The USC Board of Trustees decided to recognize the couple by naming the school in their honor, according to a statement released by the USC News Service. It was christened the Barbara J. and Roger W. Rossier School of Education.
"It makes us only the third named school of education," Cooney said.
Tuesday's ceremony began with a procession led by approximately 70 elementary school students from USC's Family of Five schools, neighborhood schools that USC works with to provide special educational opportunities. Each child wore a T-shirt ana carried balloons with the new Rossier School logo.
At the start of the ceremony, the children sang "Happy Birthday" in honor of the school's 90th anniversary before a crowd of about 400.
"I was so moved when I saw the kids," said Roger Rossier, the donor and an active supporter of the school's recruitment efforts.
Roger Rossier received his graduate degree in education in 1972 and, together with his wife, who received her degree in 1971, founded Rossier Educational Enterprises Inc., an institution involved in infant and preschool programs, educational publishing and educational travel.
The Orange County-based organization is best known for founding the Rossier School, a private K-12 school (See Donation, page 6)

Auditorium.
Phillips is known for his predictions of major political and economic trends. In the 1960s he predicted the coming of a conservative era which was written in his book, "The Emerging Republican Majority." In 1990, he wrote "The Politics of Rich and Poor," which predicted today's populist resurgence.
Most of the audience consisted of freshmen who attended to fulfill a requirement for a writing course. Phillips suggested that in order to write about politics, students should try to understand it first.
"Politics can seem overwhelming," he said. "It's about who has the influence and how to put it into something you can relate to, maybe write about."
His experience comes from being an administrative Congress assistant from 1965 to 1968. He also served as special assistant to the attorney

Kantor's world
Former Clinton cabinet member to be first Annenberg speaker Thursday
The world is shrinking. The free flow of information and the globalization of trade has become crucial in the opinion of former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Mickey Kantor, who will be speaking on the subject at the first Annenberg event this fall on Thursday.
"With the world economy in crisis from Asia to South America to Russia, there's probably no one in America who's better positioned (than Kantor) to offer insights into the current situation and global trade," said Geoffrey
Cowan, dean of the Annenberg School of Communication.
Prior to his two-year (1996-97) tenure on Clinton's cabinet, Kantor served as US. Trade Representative for three years, where he put his degrees in economics and law to use by defending the U.S.
