CXUV. no. 52 www.dailytfojan.com Service brings faiths together Event: Dozens of students come to share prayers and thoughts on religion during third annual gathering By ROBB FERRIS Staff Writer Compassion, acceptance and community were the central themes to the Multi-Faith Service Thursday, which many participants saw as particularly necessary in light of Sept. 11. Students representing virtually every religion at USC gathered in the multipurpose room at Our Savior Catholic Center to share their traditions, beliefs, prayers and rituals in the name of universal understanding. This is the third year that the Office of Religious Life sponsored the Multi-Faith Service and the event has grown considerably, said service coordinator Brice Carson. Carson, who participated in last year’s service, had a vision for the Multi-Faith Service, which he thought had been too showy in years past “I thought it was very show-and-tell,” Carson, a senior majoring in international relations said. “People did dances, there was even a skit It made me feel a little uncomfortable." Carson wanted to hold an actual service, rather than a presentation or seminar.

For some students living in residence halls, it’s becoming a way of life. At least three times a week, 20 or more students gather in the new sand volleyball court near Parking Structure X to put the space to use until well after midnight With little more than a few hours’ planning, these games come together with striking consistency, luring many of the same players back night after night, even with a test or paper due the next day. Most players have little or no formal background in the sport For some, a volleyball game serves as an effective study break and for others, it’s a way to forget studying altogether. “There’s no better way of procrastinating than going outside and playing a good seven or eight games of beach volleyball," said Sam Henry, a freshman majoring in biomedical engineering. Henry, a Marks Hall resident, was an original player in this new volleyball tradition, which started the first week of the semester. Socializing with new friends and looking for something to do, a neighbor approached her with a glow-in-the-dark volleyball. “As soon as we saw it, we knew we had to play,” Henry said.

Formed to serve as an “ongoing interfaith voice for peace," the group is modeled after the USC Coalition for Peace, as a way to have interfaith representation, said Susan Stouffer, a graduate student in occupational science and the organizer of the group. “Basically, it was a coming together of people who were interested in a peaceful resolution to the events started by the Sept 11 attacks, but we’ve expanded our ideas to other peaceful needs in the world," said K^sta Close, a junior majoring in vocal arts. The faculty advisers say the group is filling a void in students' lives, serving as beacon for a more peaceful world through faith. Some peace activities were put on the back-burner until the attacks, said the Rev.
