Food Service Employees Ruin USC Graduation
L.A. Police arrested 37 members of the Hotel Employees & Restaurant
Employees International Union, many disguised in caps and gowns, for unruly
demonstrations during the University of Southern California's commencement.
The demonstration was part of an on-going strike against USC. USC spokesman
James Elmendorf said, "it's extremely tragic that this group would destroy,
or attempt to destroy, one of the most significant days in the lives of
the students and their families." [City News Service 05/08/98]
