Ani Kolangian | Daily Trojan For ol’ ’SC Senior cornerback Boomer Roepke assures the crowd at the Homecoming Rally that the Trojans will defeat the Huskies on Saturday. The Office of Campus Activities hosted the rally in the Galen Center as part of “All Bark, No Bite: Tirebiter’s Revenge” homecoming Week. Employees By Chandler Rabens and Kenny Lee Daily Trojan About 75 students and USC Hospitality workers attended a meet and greet host-ed by Students Coalition Against Labor Exploitation on Thursday night to raise awareness about hospitality workers’ recent grievances. Workers have raised concerns about de-creased hours in the last few months. SCALE co-president Tandia Elijio said the group is committed to creating a socially re-sponsible university. “We want these employees to know we care about their issues, which is why we are providing a forum to make their voices are heard,” Elijio said. SCALE members split attendees into small discussion groups that included both students and worker to facilitate better un-derstanding of workers’ concerns among students. Julia Wang, co-president of SCALE, said she hopes the issue can be resolved promptly, stressing that student involvement is crucial. “The best thing right now is for students to get out and support the cause,” Wang said. “The more people that know about the prob-lem, the more people will act.” Workers in attendance represented near-ly every sector of USC Hospitality, from Everybody’s Kitchen to the University Club. Many said they have had their hours short-ened from eight a day to as low as six. Trinidad Leyva and Reyna Sanabria, who have worked at EVK for more than 30 years, expressed concern about the hour reduc-tions. “The management claimed over the sum-mer that we would get our hours back once the students returned in the fall,” Leyva said. SCALE hosts workers, students for conversation Unionized workers from USC Hospitality discussed budget cutbacks with administrators last month. | see Workers, page 3 | By Conrad Wilton Daily Trojan Protectors of Tommy Trojan, the Victory Bell and USC traditions, the USC Trojan Knights are celebrating their 90th anniversary this year. Trojan Knights Alumni Director Steve Johnson said the knights will celebrate the homecoming game the way they celebrate all home games. “We’ll wake up at 6 a.m. Saturday, maybe earlier, to set up the tailgate on Trousdale. Then we’ll enjoy food, drinks and the company of Helenes and alumni,” Johnson said. “We’ll paint ourselves at around 7:30 a.m. and 20 Knights bring the Victory Bell to the Coliseum at 9 a.m.” Johnson has attended USC football games since he was 2 years old and has never heard fans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum scream as loud as they did during this season’s game against Stanford. “It was absolutely deafening,” Johnson said. “It was a tough loss, but the crowd was definitely a factor in the game. If we can get some of that intensity back for this game against Washington, it will help lead our team to victory.” Trojan Knights President Phillip Larson said despite the football team’s 56-48 loss to Stanford in triple overtime and NCAA sanctions, the Trojan Knights’ spirit and passion have not been affected. “Since 1921, we have been the guardians of Trojan tradition and school spirit,” Larson said. “The spirit has only gotten stronger and the sanctions have given Trojans a banner to rally around because bowl game or not, we’re still a great team.” Regardless of the football team’s performance, in nine decades of existence, the Trojan Knights Trojan Knights celebrate 90 years at USC Members of the Knights said their brotherhood has grown stronger over the years. Spirit Housing By Rachel Bracker Daily Trojan West 27th Place was award-ed platinum Leadership in Energy Environment Development plati-num certification Thursday, be-coming the first housing complex in Southern California to receive the environmental recognition. The U.S. Green Building Council awards the LEED platinum certi-fication to buildings that meet the council’s highest standard of sus-tainability features, according to a press release from the management of West 27th Place. West 27th Place, located on Figueroa Street, was built with the goal of achieving the certification. “We are honored to receive such a high-level distinction from LEED and hope that we can be trendset-ters in having the remainder of the student housing industry follow suit,” Al Rabil, managing partner of West 27th Place’s property group, said in the release. The building’s managers estimate they cut 95 percent of construction-related waste by using modular building, a process in which units are built off-site and assembled at the building. The complex has Energy Star-compliant appliances, a salt water pool and an irrigation system for water conservation.
