Media studei
in New York
By TAMARA WILLIS
Features editor
A few USC students didn't get to escape
from school work or hit the beach over spring
break. They were too busy checking out the
media scene in New York City.
tight members of a script writing class took
a trip to the Uig Apple from March 12 to 15 in
preparation for a national competition in
Hollywood.
Franklin Ashley, a script writing instructor
in the College of Media Arts, said the trip's
purpose was to introduce the students to the
world of major entertainment.
"In order for their writing to be more effec^
tive, they needed to be exposed to an area they
do not usually get to see ? the entertainment
world."

The students met with people interested in
establishing internships for USC students.
"We have a lot of corporate internships, but
this is the first big pulse into New York. We
are building contacts on the national level for
the first time," Ashley said.
Kevin Currau, a writer for NBC's Late
Night with David Letterman, spoke to
students about setting up comedy elements in
writing. Ashley said the network has an internship
program at New York University and
is now interested in establishing one at USC.

soap opera writing. He gave the students a
-tour of the show while it was in production
and told them about the responsibilities involved
with working on a soap.
Graduate student Larry Campbell said he
was impressed with the high-pressure
elements of soap opera work. "The writers
have to turn out 72 pages of script every week.
I admired their dedication and sense of
responsibility. I like that kind of underthe-gun
production."
Ashley said Laibson, in conjunction with
the University Film and Video Association,
wants to set up an internship. "We hope to
establish the first student internship program
with the show. It would be another big move
toward making the university a force to be
felt," he said.

Ralston, editor in chief of Teenage Magazine.
Media arts senior Susie Frierson said Ralston
showed them a copy of next month's probable
cover of the magazine and spoke to them
about media criticism.
Ashley said the magazine expressed a great
interest in establishing an internship. In fact,
shortly after the students returned, Ralston
called Frierson and offered her a summer job.

tunity. I think Dr. Ashley has done a lot of
work to lift the 'iron curtain' in South
Carolina to get this internship established,"
Frierson said.
The students also saw Neil Simon's play,
Broadway Bound, and talked to writer and
character actor John Randolph, who has appeared
in films such as "Prizzi's Honor."
"He took us to Saidi's, a theatrical
restaurant, and talked to us about Neil Simon
and writing close to the heart," media arts
senior Ann Blcncowe said.
"He told us the play is the story of Simon's
life, and seeing it was very painful for him.
He went to one show and has not been back
since."
4 'It's a brand new car!"
Ashley said the students will be required to
write a full-length feature, which is 90 to 140
pages, for the National Nissan Competition in
Hollywood in May.
The contest's winner will receive a car, and
runners-up will receive monetary awards. In
addition to prizes, the winner's script will be
read by agents and producers in California.
"Three big opportunities came out of this
one trip. The department is relatively new,
and the entertainment aspect of script writing
is just beginning to be touched. I hope to go
to Los Angeles next and try to set up some
things," Ashley said.
