Two teenage gang members were arrested after
trying to enter the Foot Locker store located in the
University Village shopping center Tuesday evening,
Department of Public Safety officials said.
A DPS officer on routine patrol requested addi-tional
units after observing four males entering the
employee entrance in the rear of the store around 6
p.m., DPS Capt. David Carlisle said.
While two of the suspects escaped when DPS of-ficers
approached them, officers were able to detain
the other two, who were 15 and 17 years old and act-ing
as “lookouts,” Carlisle said.
One of the suspects was found in possession of a
shank, a 5-inch wooden-handled knife, in his pants
pocket. The males admitted they were members of
the Southside 13 gang, DPS Det. Josh Voyda said.
The teenagers were then detained and arrested by
Los Angeles Police Department officers on charges
of possession of a concealed weapon, according to a
DPS crime report.
The Southside 13 gang is a Latino gang that moved
out of the USC area a few years ago, LAPD Gang
Impact Team leader Lt. Peter Whittingham said.
Two suspects were detained after
attempting to rob the U.V. Foot Locker.

A survey of graduate student
complaints about the Eric Co-hen
Student Health Center on the
Health Sciences campus prompted
the center to relocate and renovate
to address concerns about patient
care and privacy among its fellow
students.
Many students on the Health Sci-ences
campus said in an anonymous
survey that they had confidentiality
concerns about receiving patient care
from medical students, residents
and faculty physicians who were
also their colleagues and educators.
The Family Medicine Center,
which was where students received
their medical care before the cre-ation
of the Cohen Student Health
Center, previously employed medi-cal
students, interns and residents
Changes made after a
survey reported concerns
about privacy, wait time.

Clinic brings smiles to those in need
By ASHLEY ARCHIBALD
Daily Trojan
Before George Boissonnault
arrived at the USC dental clinic
at the Union Rescue Mission, he
hadn’t seen a dentist in 30 years.
The dentures he received at that
last visit are now cracked, which
he has glued together with dental
adhesive two or three times a day
for the past six years.
“I learned to compensate,”
Boissonnault said. “But now that
[they’re] cracked, I have to glue
[them] together or [they start] to
slip out.”
Stephena Hanuscin is waiting
with great anticipation for her se-ries
of dental services to be done.
Even as we speak, her hand drifts
up to her mouth, covering her
teeth out of force of habit.
“It’s going to make me want to
smile again and talk to people,”
she said.
There are some 84,000 people
in Los Angeles each night who
find themselves without a roof
over their heads, according to the
Union Rescue Mission. These are
the same people for whom regular
dental and doctor appointments
are not an option.
As proposals for national
health insurance rise to the fore-front
of American politics, univer-sities
like USC, UCLA and Loyola
Marymount work to fill the gap
USC dental students treat
Skid Row patients in effort
to improve healthcare.
