Barrack, CEO of Colony Capital LLC, and actor Rob Lowe discuss personal and professional success in “Making Movies, Making Deals and Making it Big” on Wednesday night in Bovard Auditorium. By Dara Weinraub Daily Trojan Bovard Auditorium was packed Wednesday night with students interested in learning how to “make it big.” Actor Rob Lowe and real estate mogul Tom Barrack came to USC to speak to students and faculty about “Making Movies, Making Deals and Making it Big,” hosted by the Marshall School of Business. Lowe and Barrack, who is the chairman, CEO and founder of Colony Capital, a private equity real es-tate company in Los Angeles, have recently acquired Miramax Films, along with USC Trustee Ronald Tutor. “I love the business as much today as I ever did,” Lowe said. “One of the things I love about Hollywood is that there is a grand tradition of people using the plat-form to transfer their focus into other areas.” Lowe said he will not be forgoing his television shows and movies, but Miramax will be able to offer him another opportunity in the movie business. Miramax has a film library of more than 700 movies, including Kill Bill, Good Will Hunting and Pulp Fiction. “Where you go to bust in this business is thinking that to sweeten that film library you need one more movie,” Barrack said. “After 25 years of investment, the extraordinary returns are always the investments no one else wants to make.” From his own experience, Barrack said he encour-ages students to leave their comfort zones. “You have to be willing to take a big risk and you have to be willing to fail. I never knew where I was go-ing and I still don’t know where I’m going,” Barrack said.

The Lot, opened in 2008, was home to a food court with quick options such as ZAO Noodle, Red Mango and Wolfgang Puck. It is no longer in operation, but the building is still standing. USC Hospitality, to whom The Lot was leased, handed the space over to the university in June once campus center construction was complete, USC Hospitality Director Kris Klinger said. Now that the campus center has replaced The Lot as the cen-tral on-campus eating space, the question remains of what will happen to The Lot. Though not a definite course of action, one option the university is considering is using the building for “surge space,” said Joe Back, associate senior vice president for campus development and facili-ties management. “This is essentially space where groups could be moved into tem-porarily while work is being done on their normal spaces. It would give the university flexibility to be able to move people [around],” Back said. This could provide USC with a commodity it rarely enjoys: extra space, Back said. Plans currently in-clude installing additional bicycle parking behind the old kitchen of The Lot, he said. “Extra bike racks would be good. I have noticed an increase in [bike] traffic around the campus center now that The Lot is closed,” said Anna Lyon, a junior majoring in anthropology. Currently, the company DormBikes is using The Lot as storage for its bike inventory. Despite the surge space idea and the addition of bike racks, the future of The Lot still remains very much up in the air. “There has been no indication of any immediate plans from the university,” Back said. “What is happening now is mostly exteri-or work, which should be done in Administration has no permanent plans for The Lot Campus development said The Lot might serve as extra space for departments in transit. | see lot, page 6 | By Lauren march Daily Trojan There has been a significant rise in college students search-ing for internships as a way to se-cure a stable job after graduation, according to a study by The Wall Street Journal.
