Many students have at one time
or another seriously considered
studying abroad. 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

an outrageous feedback section
from Young.
~ The version of "Cinnamon Girl"
on weia only adds lurtner proot
that it is the best song in Young
y and Crazy Horse's repertoire.
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.

However, Weld is awesome. I
hate to admit it, but the recent

i cannot hold a candle to these four
