Trojan Knights, the social organization that bills itself as ambassadors of USC, has recently come under attack for victimizing its new recruits in hazing rituals. Specifically, it has been alleged that a recruit was bound by older members and left to fend for himself in an off-campus abandoned house. He was found and released by USC security. It is further alleged that the chief editor of the DT killed an article about this incident because he himself is a member of the Trojan Knights. If you drive into St. Louis, Mo., on Highway 55, the sign that greets you may bear an unexpected name, the Ku Klux Klan.

Good morning students, please turn toward the television and catch today s commercials, I mean, news.
