Local elementary and junior high school students are getting a preview of college life at USC, thanks to a mentor program sponsored by the Los Angeles Housing Authority.
The program, called "College Is For Me," is targeted at 8 to 13-year-olds who live in local neighborhoods. For sue months, each child is paired with a college student as a mentor.
"We appreciate it when (college) students get involved," said Anthony Ephriam, coordinator of the program. "They have a great influence on the kids."
The program is designed to expose youth from inner-city neighborhoods to different social and cultural activities.

Students cited for fraud, suspicious activity
Alleged use of student credit card results in citation
By April Haitsuka
Assignment Editor
The Department of Public Safety reported on Friday that a student cashier at the Pertusati University Bookstore used a credit card left behind by another student to purchase textbooks for himself. The cashier was issued a misdemeanor cite to appear in court.
"It's not the sort of behavior you would expect from an employee of the bookstore," said
Deputy Chief Robert Taylor of DPS.
A misdemeanor cite to appear is analogous to a traffic ticket. In lieu of taking the individual to the LAPD upon arrest, DPS issues a citation for the crime and releases the person on the promise that he or she will appear in court.
These citations are issued for crimes where the act is of more consequence than the actual loss to the university or other individuals involved.
The amount charged to the account was "relatively small, around $35 to $50" Taylor said.
Thefts of more than $200 usually warrant an arrest, he said.
Athletes cited for abusive behavior

The Department of Public Safety cited four individuals claiming to be athletes for abusive behavior toward the officers at a sorority house early Sunday morning.
DPS officers were informed over the radio of a suspicious incident at the house, said Deputy Chief Robert Taylor of DPS. The officers thought it may have been a possible burglary when they discovered the back door of the house open.
As they were searching the area, a car pulled up with four young males inside.
"The officers approached the young lads to tell them that they didn't want them to go into the house, as there may have been a burglar inside," Taylor said.
Tne athletes said they had permission to enter the house and proceeded to use "abusive language" toward the officers, telling them to leave them to their business, he said.
DPS dted the suspects to Student Conduct for their beliavior.
No burglar was found. Taylor said the caller may have made the report after seeing a transient around the house.
