PAGE 12 By nicole dailo Daily Trojan Exploring the sights, sounds and tastes of Downtown Los Angeles will soon be easier for USC students. The Undergraduate Student Government, USC Transportation and LA Live have finalized plans for a free shuttle running from campus to the nearby sports and entertainment venues. “I think it’s really important to know that we now have a safe and reliable way for students to plug into the Downtown entertainment and night scene,” USG President Holden Slusher said. “I’m really excited for students to get out and take advantage of Los Angeles. It’s going to be great for students to have this diverse opportunity.” The shuttle will start running on Nov. 6, stop-ping at Figueroa Street in front of The Lab and on a private street between the Staples Center and the Nokia Theatre, said Tony Mazza, director of USC Transportation. Departing every 30 minutes, the shut-tle is scheduled to make the 2.5-mile trek to LA Live on Fridays from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., on Saturdays from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. and on Students to get LA Live tram service Free shuttle organized by USG, USC and LA Live will run on weekends starting in November. | see tram, page 2 | By kate mason Daily Trojan Three separate but similar inci-dents in the past month have au-thorities looking for a man with a penchant for feet. The first incident occurred Sept. 11, by 37th and Catalina streets. A female student — a junior major-ing in print journalism who chose to remain anonymous — said she was riding her bike to her friend’s house around 3:30 p.m. when the suspect gestured for her to ride over to him. The man told her he was a podi-atry student at USC conducting re-search on the arches of people’s feet and would like to look at her feet. “He was like, ‘I was wondering if I could take a look at your arch.’ I told him no, and that I was late meeting my friend. He was like, ‘You know what, it’ll only take two seconds, I just have to look at your foot,’” the student said. “Because I was wearing flip flops, I held out my foot.” After the student held out her foot, the man began to massage and fondle her feet. When the stu-dent realized the man was not ac-tually a podiatry student, she tried to walk away but he yanked her Loiterer gets off on wrong foot Man repeatedly harasses female passers-by in North University Park area. | see fet, page 3 | By jacqueline kurth Daily Trojan In an effort to close the cultural gap between international and do-mestic students and to introduce the student body to cultural diver-sity on campus, the International Student Assembly is hosting USC’s first Multicultural Carnival Saturday in McCarthy Quad. With the largest number of in-ternational students of any uni-versity in the United States, USC has 41 countries represented in its student body. But, many of those students struggle with adapting to the so-cial and cultural gaps between international and domestic stu-dents, according to Eshan Saluja, director of programming and de-velopment for ISA. “I think there is a huge gap be-tween international students and domestic students,” said Saluja, a junior majoring in business ad-ministration. “Even though USC has the largest international population, the problem is that there is not that much interac-tion apart from class or group work. Americans hang out with Americans, Chinese with Chinese and Indian with Indian.” ISA is hoping the carnival, slat-ed to run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., will serve as a jumping-off point for students from different cul-tures to interact with one another. The carnival will include booths from different international stu-dent organizations on campus, featuring culture-specific activi-ties such as a chopstick game with the Chinese Students Association, as well as samples of the country’s cuisine. “We are trying to encourage the connection between different na-tionality groups ... including do-mestic students,” said Matthew Leung, executive director of the ISA and a sophomore majoring in business finance. The Carnival will feature inter-national activities, and also some traditionally American pastimes. Leung said the ISA is hoping to attract even more visitors to the carnival by broadcasting the USC-Notre Dame game on a high-defi-nition TV. “We are trying to see if we can incorporate American culture with the different internation-al games so we don’t involve only international students and so we can attract domestic students,” he said. “Also, international students can learn about football, which is an American experience as well as a Trojan experience.” A number of students plan-ning to participate in the event said they are looking forward to a chance to promote their own cul-ture. “Apart from wanting to get to know other cultures, we want to tell other people about our cul-ture,” said Silviana Hurniawan, a junior majoring in communication and the public relations officer for the Association of Indonesian International Student Assembly to host cultural carnival Event will give international and domestic students an opportunity to interact. | see carnival, page 3 | Mike Lee | Daily Trojan Diversion · Members of the International Student Assembly post flyers for their Multicultural Carnival, to be held on Saturday.
