WAGENHEIM Staff Writer Student reaction to Saturday's 50th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor appears to be that of apathy even though the event is drawing a significant amount of national attention. The majority of USC students interviewed said they did not care about what happened 50 years ago and they would much rather think abo*t the future than remember the past President George Bush, however, will deliver a speech in Pearl Harbor on Saturday to thousands of veterans who served in World War II which will be reminiscent of "the day of infamy" speech by then President Franklin Roosevelt.
