CPU sponsors j^j Fall Gala Southern stud By NEVADA McCALL Staff Writer USC ? Scholars from cities throughout the world, including Bonn, Copenhagen and Oslo, gathered for the first time in the United States to discuss the fascinating and intriguing region called the South. USC's Institute for Southern Studies program held a three-day international symposium on Southern literature and history Monday through Wednesday. European scholars have created the Southern Studies Forum to study aspects of the South. "I think it was a tremendous success," said Walter Edgar, director of the Institute for Southern Studies. use offer Editor's note: This is the second be in the ri in a two-part series examining the time and asl uses of Ovral as a morning-after make use of Dill. option.

In 1991, Edgar presented a paper at the University of Bonn and was asked then by the forum if he would be interested in holding the next biennial conference at USC. 'The Europeans understand the importance of regionalism and can identify with the South as being the most clearly, well-defined American region," Edgar said. "The South, unlike the rest of the U.S., has been somewhat out of the mainstream, and Europeans can identify with this." Edgar said the Europeans view Southern culture as being closely related to their own. The opening session of the conference was at Harper College on the Horseshoe. The visiting scholars presented papers on various aspects of the South from fictional landscape to views of home. s morning ght place at the right OnBHIJI c the risht Question to -0? -1 the morning-after pill When a woman goes lot suggest it for any- Heai?n ? ., ... moming-after con rson said.
