Even more have never entertained the thought or pursued it because of misconceptions concerning eligibility, cost or other factors. But those students | who drop by the office of the USC 1 International Programs for Students for information are usually ' surprised. The fact is, almost anyone who * is truly interested in studying * abroad can do so. Through USC, a student can choose from over 20 J different international programs to ? apply for. Anyone who is a full- c time student and has been enrolled r at USC for at least one year is c eligible and most of the programs require only a 2.75 minimum GPA for consideration. These programs are not outrageously expensive either. Students pay the exact same fees for tuition, room and board at a university abroad as they would at USC through an exchange program. So basically, for what you pay every semester here at USC, you could actually be studying in Africa, Australia, Europe or any of the other countries that are a part of the program. One worry students usually have is that credits earned overseas won't transfer towards a degree received at USC. But any credits a student obtains at a university abroad will be transferable here if the credits are approved beforeffEr WMF r * Complc Low-Cost 1 Abortioi |p) P'ann 256-4 Concerned Infoi .n utcCude i fa&wit I the EI the James F.

Young's newer material is n amazing, considering the artistic 11 slump he encountered during most L of the 1980s. "Rockin' In the Free e World" and "Crime In the City," both from 1989's Freedom, benefit from the Crazy Horse touch. "Rockin"' chugs along for more than eight minutes, twice its origis nal length and "Crime," whose ale bum version was laden with horns e and acoustics, now sizzles in the Q hands of a four-piece band. The five tracks from 1990's masterful Ragged Glory are hard to improve upon. They were re^ corded basically live in the studio, e so the only additions on Weld are e different solos and audience parti' cipation. Of the five, "Mansion On the Hill" yields the most welcome ? treats. Weld, a 35-minute collage, is s entirely feedback. The compilation e piece contains no structured songs, just distortion of monumental proportions, and only a handful of interspersed vocals. It is mind al* tering, a surprise that only Young 5 could pull from his trick bag. 5 Vnun nr an/1 Pfon? 1 VU115 ttim \*ka.t>y I1U15& UUt^ again raise rock V roll to an en3 tirely higher plane.

I hate to admit it, but the recent tours and concert albums from the 1 Stones, the Who, and McCartney i cannot hold a candle to these four middle-age hippies playing their t hearts out Buy Weld.
