International Relations Professor Steven Lamy. speaks to students in Tyler Prize Pavilion Wednesday. Lamy explains what matters Event Courageous people risk safety to defend personal ideals, professor of international relations says By JOHN TAN Contributing Writer Courage, commitment and community, are the most important elements in life, said Steven Lamy, an professor and director of the School of International Relations. Speaking to about 80 students and staff, Lamy delivered the second address in the “What Matters to Me and Why” series in the Tyler Prize Pavilion on Wednesday afternoon. Using modesty and humor, Lamy started his speech with apprehension. "I think we're very safe in our academic cocoons," he said, adding that it was not “very safe to talk about (himself)." Lamy began answering the question of what matters with an answer from his sister, who is fighting ovarian cancer. "She answered. ‘That’s a silly question. Ever)' single day and moment (matter), and 1 cherish them all.’" Somebody courageous, “is willing to take unpopular positions based on principles,” Lamy said. Courageous people risk in their safety, well being and quality of life for what they believe in, he said. Despite his own philosophy, Lamy has doubted his courage at times. His most courageous moment was admitting his fear, he said. I see Event, page 13 !

While some departments change the fees for each course, others divide the costs between all enrolled students. Every student enrolled in a four-unit course from the School of Fine Arts pay s the same $55 fee. In many classes, students see what they are paying for with live models or other hands-on supplies. But courses such as drawing offer nothing in return for the fee. To pay for the equipment in each class, the art school equally distributes the total cost of supplies among each of its students. “We added up the cost across the different areas: photo, ceramics, painting and the maintenance and servicing of the machines, and then we divided it up over the number of classes," said Penelope Jones, director of admissions of the School of Fine Arts. In some art classes, students must pay the fee and also buy their own art supplies required for the class. “In some classes, the lab fee is higher than what the students need to pay,” Jones said. “Drawing is the most problematic, since it is open to non-art majors. Since the material fee is distributed equally to all the classes, (the drawing) students may not see it in return dollar for dollar."

While students from the Middle East worry about being labeled as terrorists, they are equally frightened for the future of America. “Students are saddened by the events that took place," said Dixon Johnson, executive director of the Office of International Services. “Some have said ‘I thought I had left this at home.’” International students said they enjoy living in America because of the tolerant attitudes. “Freedom is what makes studying in America attractive," said Yusuf Ateskan, president of the Turkish Student Association and a graduate student in electrical engineering. “If you take that away, there is nothing left." More than 5,900 international students are enrolled at USC. Talal Hakim, a sophomore majoring in international relations, said the attacks did not surprise him. “Terrorism is like cancer,” he said. “You can cut out the tumor and the cancer can still grow. The same goes with terrorism. You hit them, and they’ll hit you back harder." Hakim, who is from Pakistan and Bahrain, said there has been some instability on the border ‘area between Pakistan and Afghanistan in the last several weeks. But he also said that the tensions have gone down since the United States lowered its expectations of Pakistan’s cooperation in the war on terrorism. Other students who usually feel that they are a part of the community have been more aware about their surroundings. Ertan Sal’ik, a visiting scholar in physics who is from Turkey, said that he has been more cautious.
