PAGE 7 Center of attention: Khaled Holmes begins third year as starter. PAGE 20 Campus By steve kearns Daily Trojan As students flocked to the University Park Campus for the first day of classes Monday, new, portable bike lanes flanking Trousdale Parkway prompted varied reactions from students. Part of a joint project by USC Student Affairs and Undergraduate Student Government, the bike lanes are intended to enable students to bike up and down Trousdale without interfering with pedestrian traffic. An email sent to students by Student Affairs mentions that the new bike lanes are the result of the “We are Considerate. We Are USC.” campaign started in 2011. “The goal is to make the campus more hospitable to bikers and to benefit the students on campus,” said Michael Jackson, vice president of student affairs. If these lanes prove successful, USC hopes to expand the bike lanes to thoroughfares, such as Childs and Watt ways. “Student Affairs is excited about the new bike lanes and hopes this new experiment will be the first step in a broader solution to help keep USC a bicycle and pedestrian friendly campus,” said Tom Studdert, director at USC Orientation Programs. “This goes a long way in helping us maintain safety for all Trojans, particularly in the center of campus.” USG President Mikey Geragos said USG became interested in bike lanes because of campus safety. “The issue of bike safety on campus came to my attention this summer,” Geragos said. “While the bike lanes are by no means the only solution to this issue on campus, we University, USG add new bike lanes for safety Students said the bike lanes could be a promising way to reduce accidents on campus. | see Bikes, page 2 | From the Archives “Three-hundred feet. Down 3 ½, 47 forward. One minute, 1 ½ down, 70. Altitude velocity light. 15 forward. Coming down nicely. Two-hundred feet… “Down 2 ½. Forward. Kicking up some dust. Big shadow. For 4 forward; 4 forward drifting to the right a little. Down one-half. Thirty seconds.” And then, “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” These were the words Command Pilot Neil Armstrong, one-time graduate student at USC, spoke a she stepped onto the surface of the moon Sunday to explore its bleak, forbidding crust in man’s first visit to another celestial body. The time was 7:56 p.m., PDT, as he swung his left boot to the surface of the moon to become the first man to set foot on the lunar surface. About 20 minutes later Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. followed Armstrong’s path down the ladder from the spaceship Eagle and began collecting rocks to bring back to earth. The third of the three-men Apollo crew was waiting and listening in lunar orbit. Michael Collins, command module pilot, has but one major duty — to keep Apollo 11 orbiting the moon. Then came the Kangaroo Hop. Armstrong and Aldrin may have touched off the latest fad in dancing as they took advantage of losing 5/6ths of their weight and began testing the moon’s gravitational pull. Armstrong could have missed his destiny — to become the first man to set foot on the moon — as the result of half a dozen close calls. In Korea he crashed his Panther jet behind enemy lines, but escaped a day later. As a civilian pilot in 1962, he plummeted uncontrollably toward earth in his X-15 when the rocket engine failed to start, but it caught on just in time. As commander of Gemini 8 in 1966, he had to abort the scheduled three-day f light after ten hours when a short circuit threw the spacecraft’s thrusters out of control. Last summer he had to eject from a lunar-landing research vehicle at an altitude of only 100ft. when it spun out of control and crashed.

According to Student Affairs, the lanes are meant to reduce collisions. By Daniel Rothberg Daily Trojan Neil Armstrong, who became an American icon as the first man to set foot on the moon, died Saturday, weeks after heart surgery. He was 82. The former astronaut underwent cardiac bypass surgery earlier this month, just two days following his birthday. Armstrong, who attended USC for graduate school, was the commander of Apollo 11 when he planted the American f lag on the moon’s soil July 20, 1969. “That’s one step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind,” he famously radioed back to Earth. In 1970, Armstrong received a master of science in aerospace engineering. Though Armstrong was a few units short of graduating, Richard Kaplan, an aerospace professor at the time, recalls the university awarding him directed research credit for walking on the moon. “It made it really hard for the next guy who did directed research,” Kaplan said. “Where was he going to walk? ” In addition to his professional achievements, Armstrong was remembered for exemplary character, including his humility and dedication to public service. “Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink,” his family said in a statement released Sunday. Though Armstrong did not remain involved with the university after he graduated, he came back in 2005 to deliver a commencement speech in which he urged graduates to develop strong values and principles of their own. “You can lose your health to illness or accident,” he said. “You can lose your wealth to all manner of unpredictable sources. What are not easily stolen from you without your cooperation are your principles and your values. They are your most important possessions and, if carefully selected and nurtured, will well serve you and your fellow man.” Kaplan said both Armstrong and Apollo 11 crewmember Buzz Aldrin were aware of their mission’s significance and Alumnus, astronaut Armstrong dies at 82 Armstrong is remembered as a national hero as the first man to set foot on the moon. | see armstrong, page 6 | remembrance Photo by Lee Salem Advice · Neil Armstrong spoke to graduates about the importance of strong moral principles in his 2005 commencement address at USC.
