8 USC students
win ad contest
A team of eight USC students
won the third district American
Advertising Federation student
competition, and will compete in
the national competition in June.
Advertising teams from USC's
College of Journalism have won

the past seven years and took the
national championship in the
mid-1970s.
Each student team that participated
in the district-level competition
at Hilton Head prepared
a 50-page plan book and a
20-minute oral presentation on its
advertising campaign for Blue
Shadow jeans, a new style of
Levi's. The jeans company spon9
