Farmers market offers unique experience
A Tuesday walk down University Avenue is no longer just a monotonous commute to and from class.
It’s an experience.
The farmers market, which was previously located at Shrine Place, offers more than 12 vendors who sell different types of food, clothing and accessories.
Vendors offer a large selection of already-prepared meals such as Peruvian cuisine, crêpes and [...]
Master plan will affect community ties
Last week, President Obama included USC on the President’s Higher Education Community Service honor roll, along with 700 other universities.
This honor validates the unique quality of USC that President Sample envisioned in his 1991 inaugural address: USC is a university where boundaries between student life and the local community life are blurred.
The university prides itself [...]
All bets are off in the social media world
Don’t talk to strangers.
It’s a message instilled in us by our parents time and time again as the cardinal rule of safety. We listened carefully as children, mainly because this piece of advice was necessary for our everyday safety.
However, for today’s college students and younger generations growing up in the age of technology, people are [...]
Smile like your life depends on it
I’ve always been impressed with people who can smile with their eyes on command. When a photographer says, “Cheese,” their zygomatic major muscles lift the corners of their mouth, their orbicularis oculi muscles raise their cheeks and form crow’s feet around their eyes and they look so unbelievably happy.
I don’t usually force a smile when [...]

During the Great Depression, more people became millionaires than at any other time in U.S. history.
The counterintuitive reason is simple: Ambitious people could not get traditional jobs.

Feeling out different handshake styles
At some point in college, handshaking becomes an almost essential part of making someone’s acquaintance. It starts to feel positively inadequate to just smile and say hello.
The recent frequency and variability of my handshaking encounters has led me to wonder: Why do people shake hands in the first place? Why do some people shake so [...]
Even political correctness has its limits
As students and members of the USC community, we are acutely aware of the dangers around campus. Fortunately, the Department of Public Safety does an excellent job of keeping community members protected and informed of incidents by publicizing crime alerts and demonstrating a commitment to providing students with crucial information about our safety.
