Student
to Pearl
By J.T. 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.
History Professor John Sproat
recalls the day when Pearl Harbor
was bombed as he was stationed at

"It was a very scary time," he
said. "We had no idea what was
going to happen next. Tlie whole
thing took us by surprise.
"Some people may get emotionally
involved, but by Monday the
whole anniversary will be forgotten,"
Sproat said.
Some USC students did admit
Japan should apologize for the
bombing of Pearl Harbor, while
others felt America should apologize
for dropping atomic bombs on

to us (America) because until
they do, there will always be a

Jill Jauch said.
An Asian-American student,
who wished to not be identified,
countered the issue. "Both nations
should apolgize because they are
both interdependent of one <
another. It would be a suggestion
of good will."
Throughout the week, television
specials and news coverage of the '
anniversary and events surrounding
the Pearl Harbor attack will be
featured.
