Kish
CONTINUED ROM PAGE 6
all of his friends are understand
ing.
Kish said he draws some of his
ideas from literature and pop culture.
“I get my ideas either from every
day occurrences, statements from
discussions with friends, or from
other things I have read before,” he
said. His favorite authors are Anne
Rice and Chris Rice. From Chris
Rice’s novels, Kish was able to draw
inspiration and begin writing his
second novel, “The Hollows.” Like
Chris Rice’s work, Kish’s second
novel is supernatural. His writing
invites readers to take an active role
consider the mysterious realm of
the unknown.
The attitudes of the female char
acters, whom Kish called “bitchy and
powerful,” are similar in the two sto
ries. His favorite TV series is “Buffy
the Vampire Slayer,” created by Josh
Wheedon. He liked Whedon’s char
acter Buffy so much that he made his
female characters similar to her —
strong and able to physically over
power men.
Kish wants his readers “to see
the world I’ve created, whether it
be friendly or unfriendly, evil or
hostile.” Kish says he will always
enjoy telling stories and that will
make him a great storyteller for
years to come.
“Don’t write what you don’t know
about” is Kish’s advice for young
writers. He warns writers not to lim
it themselves while writing, and
strongly suggests doing away with
the rules. To be a good writer, he said,
you must write for yourself and erad
icate your fears of public opinion.

fessionalism, Cohen said, “I
spoke a little slower, enunciated
better.”
Also representing USC was
Manasi Sinha, a third-year chem
istry and psychology student. Sinha
had watched “Road Rulds” a few
times before and said she liked the
traveling aspect of the show. She
said she her favorite part was “get
ting to know the cast members.”
“They were down to earth,”
Sinha said of the cast. “The cam
eras are up in your face, and [the
cast members are] so normal.”
Cohen and Sinha agree that, in
addition to the amiable cast, the
production crew was also inter
esting. Cohen said, “I have great
respect for the crew; they have to
stay way ahead of the cast and the
direction of the show.” Sinha
added: “The crew did so much
prep work before the cast got here;
every little detail was planned out.
The cameramen had to run
around everywhere.”
After a fun-filled night at Five
Points, the “Road Rules” collec
tive packed up and left Cohen and
Sinha with memories embla
zoned in their minds. Cohen said
he would remember the day for a
lifetime, and he thanked his
roommates and Carolina
Productions for providing him
with the experience. Sinha said
she and Cohen were “on top of the
world, because there were other
people that auditioned. I felt re
ally honored.”
Students and the rest of the uni
versity unfortunately will have to
wait to witness this “Road Rules”
invasion of USC until after the se
mester is finished. Maybe this un
common occurrence will be as
poignant for USC as it was for
these two lucky students.

Lecture
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
guished lecturer in the Institute
of Southern Studies, played the
blues on his guitar and brought
along his harmonica-playing stu
dents. Nicholas Vazsonyi, from
the Germanic, Slavic and East
Asian languages department,
played piano concertos and
taught his audience to appreciate
the use of time and the value of
silence.
"This is not your typical lec
ture atmosphere,” Brady said.
“You always end up learning
something that you didn’t know
and didn't know that you needed
to know.”
Tonight’s speaker is Kwame
Dawes, who was born in Ghana
and raised in Jamaica. An associ
ate English professor, Dawes has
published critical texts, several
anthologies and eight collections
of poems, including his most re
cent, “Midlands.” He has won sev
eral major awards for his writing,
including the Forward Poetry
Prize, the Poetry Business Prize,
the Pushcart Prize and the Hollis
Summers Prize.
“It is encouraging to see that a
program exists that encourages
students to just come and listen to
intellectual lectures in a public fo
rum,” Dawes said. “It gives me a
chance to share some of my own
research and interests with stu
dents who might not normally be
able to hear about it.”
Finishing out this semester’s
lineup is Wendy Valerio from the
School of Music and director of
USC’s Children’s Music
Development Center. She will lec
ture on music as thought and mu
sic acquisition. She said the Last
Lecture Series gives her a chance
to reach out to students.
“I get to share my passion with
students who are not music stu
dents,” said Valerio, who will give
her lecture April 3.
All lectures are held in the
Gressette Room in Harper College
at 7 p.m. To nominate a professor
for the series, e-mail lastlec
ture@hotmail.com.

HOROSCOPES
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Can you get away for a fling?
See something different for a
change? If you don’t forget a
promise you’ve made, you
should be able to get away
with it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
Don’t let concerns about
career advancement or money
keep you from listening. A
friend could use some of your
practical advice.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Be
patient with an emotional
person, especially if he or she
outranks you. Ridiculing this
person would be a big mistake.
CANCER (June 22-July 22):
You’ll have no trouble
thinking of things you’d
rather do than work. The
problem, obviously, is that
you have to work Make a date
for tomorrow.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Extra
tenderness is required now,
even with a fun-loving friend.
People’s feelings will get hurt
more easily than usual.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If the
others could agree on
anything, you’d be outvoted. If
they all keep taking off in
different directions, your
agenda could prevail.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22): You’re
hampered in some respects,
but you can still get the
message out. Don’t spend all
day talking.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
You’d like to buy your loved
ones everything they want,
but that’s not a good idea. Get
something nice for your home
instead, something the whole
family will enjoy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
As you’re shifting things
around and reviewing
priorities, don’t rush. You’ll
get extra points for listening
to a quiet person, and you’ll
make better choices.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Recent discoveries make you
rethink old beliefs. Trade an
impossible fantasy for
something real you can have
now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Confer with your peers,
without pretensions. Tell the
truth, even about the mistakes
you’ve made.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
You’re not creating all this
confusion; so don’t assume
it’s all your fault. Somebody
could mistake your cheerful
attitude for lack of interest,
but you don’t have to get
upset just because that
person is.
Prepare now for the
June 10,2002 test date!
