Being an average USC student is gaining national attention, just look at students Tammy Roach and Aaron Speight and their new-found fame. "Sassy," a magazine primarily aimed to girls in their early to late teens, profiled Roach and Speight in an article entitled "Two Coeds: A day in life," included in the September 1995 issue. As the article title indicates, the spread details one average day in the life of Roach and Speight. For instance, Roach's "average" day consists of waking up at 6:30 a.m. and attending classes from 8 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and attending to RA duties until her bedtime of 11:15 p.m. As Roach, a junior journalism major from Columbia, mentions in the article Tm always in bed before midnight," which far different from her printed counterpart. In the article, Speight's day consisted of attending classes, studying for 45 minutes and staying out until 2 a.m., which, according to Speight isn't exactly true. "I didn't put the best night of my life in there," said Speight. "They [the magazine staff] kind of encouraged me to live it up a little. There were some things I put in the article, like it [the article] says I study 45 mirua day and I really study more than that. That made my parents mad. It [the article] said I go out until 2 a.m... I usually don't do that." Roach and Speight were recommended for the article by Residential College heads, Kevin j and Becky Lewis, whose son dates Brett Mirsky, the article's author. I Roach noted that one of the reasons she and j Speight were chosen for the article was because I I ' Ifli *^^B'"N', * ' * <r < ll ' * ! USC burns BY MKKI LaWOCQUE Staff Writer Murphy.
