No injuries were reported at the time of the interview with the LAFD spokesperson, who said there was no reason to believe the fire posed any immediate threat to student safety but advised students to be cautious in the coming days.

“We have really high winds coming in and low humidity,” the LAFD spokesperson said. “Everything is sort of in alignment for what might otherwise be a very normal fire to turn into something much bigger.”

Aloe Blacc and Allen Stone will perform at USC’s presidential investiture Friday, according to an email from a University representative to the Daily Trojan. The University will inaugurate Beong-Soo Kim as its 13th president.

Stone, meanwhile, is a soul and R&B artist behind songs “Consider Me” and “Brown Eyed Lover.”

The performances will continue a recent tradition of art showcases in conjunction with the University’s presidential investitures.

Before Carol Folt’s 2019 inauguration, USC hosted a student arts showcase. After former President Max Nikias’s 2010 installation, USC and other groups screened “Brides” (2004).

BREAKING: USC football junior linebacker Desman Stephens II has been suspended for one game, the team announced Sunday. Stephens was ejected from Saturday’s game against Oregon and will not play in the Trojans’ contest with Washington on Oct. 3.

Stephens faced backlash for seemingly celebrating and joking with teammates after the unsportsmanlike hit, leading to a scuffle between the two teams that resulted in a penalty for each player on both sides.

“I want to sincerely apologize for my actions during yesterday’s game,” Stephens said in a statement Sunday. “Seeing a player injured like that is incredibly serious, and my reaction in the moments afterward was completely inappropriate and inexcusable.”

The Keck School of Medicine of USC will not renew its contract to sell donated cadavers to the United States Navy, according to a statement by the Keck School of Medicine to the Daily Trojan.

“Because the donated bodies under the contract came largely from [UC San Diego], which recently informed us that it can no longer provide them to us, the Keck School will not be able to renew this contract with the Navy,” the statement read.

The Keck School of Medicine said bodies donated to USC’s Anatomical Gift Program were not used to train the IDF. It also claimed it did not profit from the bodies donated by UCSD.
