By KRIS BORKES Staff Writer USC students will be able to boldly go where no one has gone before as they take a trip through space and time with Sandy Fries. Fries is a creative writer who has won much acclaim for his work on the legendary Star Trek. He will be giving a seminar and guest lecture tomorrow in the Russell House Ballroom. After graduating from Clark University in Worcester, Mass. with a BA in Journalism, he continued his education by receiving a Masters in Journalism from Columbia University. He has written for numerous TV shows such as, Quantum Leap, Fame, The Tonight Show, Different Strokes and The Snorks. He also had an opportunity to write for the The Simpsons, but it fell through. However, Fries is most renowned for his work on the televison show Star Trek. According to agent Randall Magnum, Star Trek producer Gene Roddenbery called Fries over the telephone and gave him a one sentence idea. Fries then developed a story outline and from there devised a plot for the TV show, which paved the way for future story ideas. Although Star Trek VI is scheduled for a winter release, Fries isn't part of the project. In addition to his prestigious work on Star Trek, Fries has made many other notable achievements. Among them are, an Emmy nomination for his work on Star Trek, guest lectures at UCLA and the University of Southern California's Lee Strasberg Institute, an NBC fellowship at Columbia University. At this week's presentation, Fries will critique an original Star Trek episode and discuss a behind-the-scenes story of how each episode was created. He will also analyze students' literary portfolios.
