Five fraternities and sororities of NPHC participated in the step competition. By bridget mcanany Daily Trojan USC is working to encourage healthier food options and more sustainable practices while involv-ing the surrounding community, as discussed at a panel Thursday. The Graduate and Professional Student Senate hosted “The Politics of Food” on Thursday, discussing the idea of using food grown in the local community. The panel included Kris Klinger, director of USC Hospitality; David Sloane, professor from the School of Policy Planning and Development; Anne McKnight, assistant profes-sor of East Asian languages and literatures and comparative citer-ature; and Florence Nishida, com-munity leader and gardener who has worked on previous projects with McKnight. The discussion was moderated by Garrett Broad, a graduate student studying commu-nication. Klinger told the audience of about 60 people about the various USC Hospitality policies and pro-grams. He said USC wants to utilize tray-less dining and local sourcing more on campus. The university al-ready receives some food from local growers, but Klinger wants to get the majority of USC food from local markets. USC’s Master Plan also includes renovating the University Village to create space for community gar-dens and local farmers markets. “As the new area is being planned, using gardens and using the local community will be im-portant,” Klinger said, “There’s a disconnect between the communi-ty and USC, and USC needs to em-brace the surrounding community and introduce to students smaller, local restaurants and food sources.” “We have a long way to go, but we have to create a plan to get where we want to be,” Klinger said. “We can’t just get there overnight.” Nishida spoke about her experi-ence as a gardener and her mission to create local community gardens, especially in the neighborhoods near USC.

The Queer and Ally Student Alliance and School of Social Work Rainbow Alliance Caucus held a panel Thursday discussing the effects and limitations of the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. About 40 people attended the discussion. The recently repealed policy prevented gay, lesbian and bisexual soldiers from serving openly in the military. “Many people think that because ‘don’t ask don’t tell’ has been re-pealed by Congress it’s over, but ac-tually that’s far from the truth,” said Rainbow Alliance Caucus Treasurer and event organizer Melanie Walker, a graduate student studying social work. Walker served in the military before coming to USC. The panel discussed the effects of the repeal and issues that it failed to address. “Many people in the commu-nity think that this is a done deal, and I hate to rain on their parade, but it’s not,” said Tom Carpenter, a former marine captain and cur-rent member of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network’s Board of Directors who was on the panel. “We ended up with a skeleton of a bill. In order to get it passed, we had to give up a lot.” The bill that repealed “don’t ask, don’t tell” lacked an anti-discrimination clause, saying a person cannot discriminate against another person based on sexuality. The bill also lacked a clear timeline for implementation of the repeal, Carpenter said. Students attending the event said they realized how much they didn’t know about “don’t ask, don’t tell” once it was discussed. “Learning that people who were dishonorably discharged didn’t have any benefits was really eye-opening, saddening and frustrating,” said Joe Beltran, a graduate student studying education. Vincent Vigil, director of the LGBT Resource Center, said the pan-el of experts helped explain aspects of “don’t ask, don’t tell” that weren’t necessarily clear in media coverage. “It’s important for our students to know that it’s not over yet, and, even though the repeal had been passed, that there are a lot of things that need to be done,” Vigil said. Kristopher Patrick, a sophomore majoring in biological sciences who is involved with the LGBT resource ,said the panel made the don’t ask DADT repeal strong beginning, but not good enough, panel says QuASA and the School of Social Work Rainbow Alliance Caucus held a panel on DADT. | see DADT, page 3 | Rachel Bracker | Daily Trojan Hot topic · About 40 people listened to experts discuss the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in a panel held by the Queer and Ally Student Alliance and the School of Social Work Rainbow Alliance on Thursday night. “We have a long way to go, but we have to create a plan to get where we want to be.” · · · Kris klinger Director USC Hospitality
