'Trading places'
Student, H<
By DAVID EATON
Staff writer j
Those who cajled the president's office and ask- 1
ed for USC President James Holderman on Mon- i
day may have thought that the receptionist was <
crazy when she said that the university's president
was Riddle, not Holderman.
It wasn't the movie Trading Places, but English
junior Vicki Riddle was at the helm of USC for one
shining day.
For $160, Riddle purchased President Holderman's
schedule for a day at the Baptist Student
Union's auction. As part of the agreement,
Holderman had to follow Riddle's schedule the
same day.
"I've been having a great time," Holderman
said as he worked the ASKUS information desk in
Russell House, dressed in very casual clothes and
tennis shoes. He did seem a little confused,
however, as the phone rang with repeated phone
calls from his staff who were trying to fluster the
university's most powerful figure.

At the end of the switch day, the two shared their ?
impressions of the experience and both appeared to 1
have enjoyed it. It was hard to tell who looked t
more comfortable in the sumptuous surroundings i
of the president's inner office.
"Dr. Holderman is a very busy man," Riddle 1
said. "I've been in meetings all day. I don't know 1
how he does it." I

Riddle said she bid for the president's schedule >

That's what she got. Her day was spent rubbing
elbows with the university's upper echelon in the 1
president's suite of offices. i
Speaking of the executives she dealt with, Riddle
said, "They're very wonderful people, very per- <
sonable. I found out about their personal interests 1
as well as their jobs here at USC."
Holderman said that although he enjoyed the ]
day, he doesn't feel like he's missing out on 1
