Springfest tickets for pre-sale only
Tickets for Springfest will only be available until 3 p.m. on Saturday, the day of the event. This is contrary to a short-lived plan to sell some tickets on site during the concert. All attendees will need to show a student ID to enter the gated area.
DPS Deputy Chief Robert Taylor said at an earlier meeting, promoters planned not to sell tickets at the event, but at another meeting on Thursday, the idea of making tickets available at the event was brought up due to low sales.
However, Taylor said the decision not to sell tickets after 3 p.m. Saturday was made to avoid having to him away non-students and tell them that the event is for USC students only.
"Sold Out" signs will be placed at the edges of campus after ticket sales end.

The Tuition Hike: Behind the scenes
Administration’s budgetary need a complex mix
By Allison Vana
Staff Writer
Following budgetary increases aimed at improving housing, classrooms and facilities, as well as benefiting university	departments, administrators say they are still working to achieve President Steven Sample's "do more with less" imperative despite the size of the proposed tuition hike.
Of the 5.9 percent increase, which would add $1,016 to the current $17,230 tuition, 1.9 percent will go toward improvements in housing, classrooms and facilities, several of which are scheduled for this summer, said Dennis Dougherty, senior vice president for administration.
"Rent costs alone have not been enough, in past years, to cover major improvements in housing," he said. "It's a quality of life issue. By the time stu-

Students seek justification for tuition hike
By Tara Nakashima
Staff Writer
While a proposed tuition hike awaits approval by the full Board of Trustees, USC students are wondering how the extra money will be put to use, while other California schools plan similar increases.
Students expressed disbelief toward the proposed 5.9 percent increase, which would raise tuition from $17,230 per year to $18,246 per year.
"I think it's a joke," said Cam Tien, a freshman majoring in chemistry.
"I think it's already sky-high ... We don't even know where the money is going and it keeps on increasing."
Students also referred to past tuition increases, questioning the results the university has produced with that additional revenue.
"I think they shouldn't in-(See Tuition, page 2)
Alumna honored as teacher of the year
By Tamra Fitzpatrick
Staff Writer
USC alumna and 1995 California Teacher of the Year Rhoda Coleman said the secret to teaching is to keep learning at the same time.
Coleman spoke at a teacher's conference titled "Celebrating Cultural Diversity" in Upstairs Commons on Wednesday.
"The secret is to remain teachable," Coleman said. "This made me try harder. I didn't feel I was that wonderful. I had a desire to constantly get new ideas. The desire has never left me."
Coleman, who currently teaches fifth grade at Lennox Elementary School in the Los Angles Unified School District, s been teaching for 27 years.
"Older teachers get the bad rap," Coleman said. "There's a
lot of teachers who stay teachable. I've had a lot of opportunities. Take advantage of your opportunities."
Coleman graduated from USC in 1973 with a teaching credential.
"If you had asked me when I graduated if I would have been standing here speaking as one of the California Teachers of the Year, I would have said no," Coleman said. "I felt 1 was new and had a lot to leam."
Coleman was one of five teachers in California to receive the award.
In order to be selected for the award, Coleman was asked to write an essay about her experience in education that has changed her life.

Cravens receives Columbia’s gold key
Mona Cravens
By Vicky Nave
Staff Writer
Mona Cravens, director of student publications at USC, was awarded with the Columbia University Scholastic Press Association's Gold Key Award for her dedication and commitment to the Daily Trojan and El Rodeo.
The award was given on March 17 at the Princeton Club in New York during the association's conference.
Cravens' recognition included a special edition of the Daily Trojan which was published during the 1992 riots. While fires broke out throughout the city, USC students were busy study-
ing for finals and wondering whether finals were cancelled or not.
The Daily Trojan was not publishing that week due to finals, but Cravens realized the urgency of the situation and decided to allow the Daily Trojan staff to publish a special edition. The special edition included reports on the condition of the campus, the nearby city and finals schedules.
"My primary responsibility is to support and administrate the technical needs of students who choose to leam from opportunity," Cravens said. "My challenge is to provide advisement
to ensure an optimal learning experience as an enhancement to formal classroom instruction."
Cravens said she strives to build a strong foundation of writers and editors at both publications in order to allow students to leam from one another. She is continually recruiting student editors and writers to continue the long tradition of collegiate journalism at USC.
El Rodeo provides a pictorial history of the year at USC and is the student's attempt to capture life at USC. The Daily Trojan captures USC on a daily basis, Cra-(See Cravens, page 3)
