A Degree of Disquiet When These Trojans Horse Around
It’s obvious that spring fever has hit the USC campus, judging from the frolicsome doings recorded of late on the school’s crime log.
There was the 1:31 a.m. joy-riding report of “two suspects driving a tractor on the lawn.” The farm boy wannabes fled before officers arrived, leaving the tractor with the motor running.
There was also “a report of a large group of students creating a disturbance” late one night. Officers found the young academics performing “an annual senior event which appeared to involve swimming in the university fountains.”
Wary officers, apparently unable to find a violation for fountain-diving, kept the splashers “under observation as they proceeded through campus.” But, they were deterred “from entering the swim stadium.”
Finally, there was the food fight that broke out during dinner at the Elizabeth Von KleinSmid dorm. The food-flingers scurried to the exits before the cops arrived, but they did leave behind a tip -- a police tip. Two student ID cards were recovered.
The wrong foot? Susan Angerer, Ruth Breslow and Lorry Izor were among those who spotted a model in an ad who seemed to be blessed with two right feet (see accompanying).
Stumbling right along: A guy who straightens out people’s backs for a living shares a Lake Tahoe marquee with a company that has a different slant on things, pointed out Roland Purnell of Ventura (see photo).
(Incidentally, I wonder about the condition of the back of the right-footed woman.)
Guide to Adventurous Dining: John Abatzoglou of Huntington Beach hopes the “kid” he saw mentioned in a Greek cookbook is not of the human variety (see accompanying).
Spacey: “I went to Bob Hope Airport to see the two World War II planes on exhibit,” wrote Barbara Joan Grubman of Woodland Hills. “I asked one of the security guards, ‘Can you tell me where to see the B-17 and the B-24?’ The guard’s response: ‘And what airline would that be?’ ”
miscelLAny: The state Assembly, having obviously solved California’s other problems, turned its attention to baseball, approving a bill that would require the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to specify on their tickets and in their ads that they’re located in Anaheim, not L.A.
Next, I guess, the state of New Jersey will pass a bill requiring the New York Giants and New York Jets football teams to make it clear they play their home games in East Rutherford, N.J.
