USC's Right to Party vs. LAPD Riot Control
Not exactly the Rodney King L.A. riots, but drunk University of Southern California students staged a 100-person "sit-in" at a rowdy block party this weekend. According to the Daily Trojan, nine people were arrested after at least 75 Los Angeles Police Department officers in riot gear used clubs, smoke bombs, Tasers, and pepper-ball guns to control a crowd that ballooned to around 1,000 partygoers.
"Two cop cars were in the middle of the street and people were dancing and singing around them," said a USC senior. "When the cops told us to leave, we staged a sit-in. They just sat on the street and refused to leave." Fight the power, dude. Fight the power.

Nice site
Nice article
For the Record
Google it: USC's average SAT scores have eclipsed those of UcLA since 2000 and Cal's since 2003. Good for USC and good for all of California.
Ha. By the way, UCLA sucks.
Dude, I went to UCLA my first year. Worst mistake of my life. Lost in a sea of faceless, scared students. Couldnt talk to my professor to save my life. Finally made the right and smartest decision and transferred to USC. My professors cared. They had hands on knowledge rather than just theoretical bullshit. Students who actually thought and questioned their teachers. Counselors who cared, an athletic program that rocks, and joined the Greatest Marching Band in the History of the Universe. Not to mention that Trojan Network. Dont hear too much about that all amazing Bruin Network. Oh yeah, cuz its just not the same. Thanks, bye.
