So you didn't make the cut for being one of
Playboy's "Girls of the SEC" this year, but don't
give up hope just yet. 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

said Roach.
Speight felt the same way when he first saw
himself immortalized in print, but hasn't reaped
too many benefits from the
piece.
"I was hoping to host the Grind with Eric

or maybe a bit piece as a pizza man in a movie,"
said Speight jokingly.
