"That's the way we've worked in the past," USC Media Relations Director Debra Allen said. The redistribution would be done by a lottery method, so each potential graduate has an equal chance of getting extra tickets. So far, each candidate receives four tickets, one for himself and three for guests. "That may change or may not change," Allen said. The final decision about ticket allocation cannot be made until USC deals with White House security, Allen said. The President and Mrs. Bush will attend the May ceremonies along with composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and actress Helen Hayes. The number of tickets that graduation candidates receive this year is nothing out of the ordinary, Vice President of Student Affairs Dennis Pruitt said. He said the final decision on tickets will be made in April. "There are a potential of about 2,500 students who could graduate," he said. Right now, there are 1,660 candidates for undergraduate graduation, Diane Sanders of the Registrar's Office said. The capacity of the coliseum on graduation day will be about 10,500 to 11,000, Pruitt said. The usual 180 tickets have been allotted to faculty, and 60 have been allotted for the platform party. Pruitt said he does know how many seats the press will need, but that the presidential party would be relatively small. "It's going to be full," Pruitt said. Beyond Bush's security considerations, the ceremony will go as normal as possible, he said. The Secret Service might not allow people to sit directly behind the stage for security reasons, Pruitt See Graduation page 2 Disney CEO to be graduate speaker From staff reports The chief executive officer of Walt Disney Inc. will be the keynote speaker hhshmbhwhi May 11 in commencement ceremonies for USC's graduate schools. flT & "Michael Eisner repre- w sents the success we look for our graduates to < I achieve on leaving the % *" J university," President James Holderman said in g^^k a press "He has taken a great and historic ^^^^k American company through times of financial I uncertainty to a renewed prominance."
