Brown spoke in the Widney Alumni House to approximately 20 students through an event sponsored by the Judith and John Bedrosian Center on Governance and the Public Enterprise. Brown became the City of Compton’s youngest mayor in June when she was elected to her position. She ran against 11 candidates, and received approximately 64 percent of the vote in the run-off election. Though she had never run for public office before, Brown believed she could bring necessary improvements to the city. “People are ready for change,” Brown said. “I just really want to reach them and touch them because in Compton we’ve had leaders that haven’t really been in our community.” Brown was born in Pasadena, Calif. after her mother moved away from Compton because of a personal tragedy. Brown, who has a twin, said when she was growing up she was involved in many academic programs that piqued her interest in the public service. She said her experience at the university has been applicable in every aspect of her career. “USC is such an awesome institution because everything I’ve learned I have applied in the last 10 years of my career,” Brown said. “Going into college, I knew I didn’t just want to make a lot of money, I really wanted to be a place-changer.” Students participating in the discussion with her freely asked Compton’s mayor seeks to empower constituents Aja Brown picked up 64 percent of votes in a run-off election to win the mayoral race last June. | see Brown, page 2 | buSineSS by david aHia ii daily trojan On Thursday, the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism’s Media, Economics and Entrepreneurship (M{2E}) program hosted David C.

These “Pop-Up Cafes,” named for their perpetually moving location, are a new project for Illy, a coffee company that prides itself on its espresso. As of now, USC is the first and only college campus to have incorporated pop-up cafes into its dining options. The idea for these cafes at USC arose in response to various deans and vice deans requesting that coffee be made more readily available to the students at their respective schools. Because there are many areas on campus where USC Hospitality is not allowed to build, pop-up cafes are a solution to the unequal distribution of cafes on campus. “When [Hospitality] met with the folks at Illy a while ago, they mentioned they had a pop-up solution that might work for us,” said Kris Klinger, director of hospitality. “This gives us the opportunity to provide services in areas where we normally would not be able to provide services.” Though the pop-up cafes have only just begun to appear on campus, Klinger said that the student reaction to them has been positive so far. Currently, Illy Pop-Up Cafes are located every week in the Lyon Center and in the courtyard of the School of Social Work. “When we were testing and doing some of the training, people that walked by were blown away,” Klinger said. “It’s unique and the [Illy] product is great.” Jonathan Hernandez, a Hospitality employee who worked at the Illy Pop-Up Cafe when it was at the Lyon Center, said he has received a warm welcome so far from the Trojan community, especially international students. “A lot of people know Illy ... The international students will recognize it quickly and say, ‘Oh my god, Illy,” Hernandez said. Some students, however, were not impressed with the quality of the product served or the prices being charged. Jon Kaye, an sophomore majoring in music industry, came across one of the cafes on the north part of campus and bought a cappuccino, but said he wasn’t pleased by the f lavor or the size of the serving. “It was convenient and it was worth a shot,” Kaye said. “I had never [before] tried their brand of coffee, but I don’t plan on trying it again.” Hospitality experiments with new pop-up cafes USC is the first and only university to incorporate pop up cafes into its dining options. | see cAfEs, page 3 | by emily goldberg daily trojan On Thursday at 10:17 a.m. students and faculty across campus took a moment during classes to drop, cover and hold. In an effort to raise awareness of earthquake preparedness, USC participated in the largest earthquake drill in U.S. history, the Great California ShakeOut. The statewide earthquake readiness campaign is organized by the Earthquake Country Alliance led by the Southern California Earthquake Center, which is headquartered at USC. “Everyone, everywhere should know how to protect themselves in an earthquake,” said Lance Webster, a media consultant for ShakeOut. “It’s important for students to know the moment you feel shaking you should drop to the ground.” Event organizers posted fliers around campus and sent emails out to students, staff and faculty at USC to encourage everyone to take a moment to drop, cover and hold. Additionally 200 staff and faculty members volunteered as USC ShakeOut Ambassadors, who assisted in facilitating the event and reminding classrooms to participate in the drill. Students such as Anne Stachofsky, an undeclared USC participates in earthquake drill Two-hundred staff members and faculty volunteered as USC ShakeOut Ambassadors. | see shAkEout, page 3 | Safety design by danny razzano
