It's that time of the year again ... when the statues of Tommy Trojan and the dreadful white horse faintly resembling Traveler, on the main part of the USC UPC campus, and Hecuba - seen here - in the University Village are mummified in some kind of grey plastic substance, and students keep a round the clock guard on them, lest they suffer depredations at the hands of UCLA in the few days leading up to the USC/UCLA football games.
Round the clock. I am so proud of our students ... of course, all "overnight camping" is currently banned on campus, following the protests in the summer. Seemingly, the university gave permission for this noble Trojan tradition, blah blah blah, to continue, all the same. But the students said - no, they didn't want to be complicit in this double standard. So ... no overnight guard. Mind you, it would be really, really hard (though I'm sure mot impossible) for UCLA attackers to breach campus security ...We'll see. Maybe a Trojan horse?
