The ninth discussion in the "Genesis_ Conversations" focused on Genesis 27:22-32, a passage describing the night preceding Jacob's reconciliation with his brother Esau. Years after cheating Esau out of his birthright blessing, Jacob returns home to seek Esau's forgiveness. But before he reaches Esau, he wrestles with a man and receives his blessing. Students and faculty broke into smaller groups to formulate questions about the passage. Groups inquired about the — nature of the conflict between Jacob and the man and the necessity of the blessing. "The discussion is definitely interesting," said Zugell Lugo, a junior majoring in sociolo- gy and religion. "All these people can look at one passage and have so many different viewpoints. There are so many different perspectives rtere; it is interesting to hear what a Christian or a Jew or a non-Christian (has) to say." Ruth Weisberg, dean of fine arts, shared some of her feelings about the passage, relat- They bring up some touchy issues, and there are no right or wrong answers. —Garrett Smith ing it to issues with which she had wrestled. She shared slides of her own artwork-—several depicting her in Jacob's place, wrestling with the unknown man. She also presented slides of an exhibit of paintings she constructed depicting the story of Jacob. "I was especially moved by some of the artwork," said Rabbi Susan Laemmle, dean of Religious Life. Laemmle is responsible for coordinating the 10-part Genesis Conversation. _ "I've been to several of the talks," said Garrett Smith, a sophomore majoring in psychology. "They bring up some touchy issues and there are no right or wrong answers." The series, which parallels the 10 segments of Bill Moyers' Genesis: a Living Conversation, will conclude next week with "Exile," a discussion of the life of Joseph. The final Genesis Conversation, led by Professor Alexander Moore of the — anthropology department and the Rev. Shawn Zambrows, director of American Baptist at USC, will be held April 8 from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in Topping Student Center room 204. 'Bozo' holds theater By Shannon Ong Staff Writer Imagine graduating from USC to become a world-famous personality, and having the opportunity to work with such film stars as Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. Imagine receiving an award from the Guinness Book of World Records, as well as accepting accolades for public service from two U.S. presidents. "Don't just follow your dreams; create your dreams," said Larry Harmon, also known as Bozo the Clown, to students in a workshop at the Massman Theatre in the Drama Center Friday. Harmon, 72, a USC alumnus, returned to the university after 50 years to share with students the joys of his success and talk about different aspects of the entertainment industry, in which he has played an integral role. Harmon gave four pieces of advice at the seminar: apply your talents to your opportunities, learn how to turn your passion into profit, use business sense in your career and develop opportunities for your talent. The three most important things to remember are creativity, perseverance and determination, he said. Those elements mixed with talent and a "you-can't-discourage-me attitude will separate the doers from the don'ts," he said. "He was a very funny guy," said Jim Miller, a sophomore majoring in theater who attend- seminar on campus Courtaiy Photo Larry Harmon ed the workshop. "He was so inspiring to those of us majoring in theater, because he told of the ups and downs and gave us the hope of perseverance." Miller said he was impressed by Harmon's story of his theatrical beginnings. "He had been so close to death so many times during the war (that when he got out of the service) he had a renewed love for living," Miller said. "He loves people and wants to put a smile on people’s faces.” Harmon said his life was based on making people happy and suggested that's what acting should be, Miller said. Harmon's life-long desire growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, was to attend USC and lead the marching band as drum major, he said. At USC he became the first and last freshman to win the title of drum major, and he led the Trojan Marching Band in the first televised coverage of the Rose Bowl Parade in the (See Bozo, page II)
