Beat ‘SC SAA e-mail

I just got this message delivered to my school account:

(it’s informative and gives a sense of the history of the rivalry between USC and UCLA)

Dear Bruins,

Since 1929, when the Bruins and Trojans first met on the football field, the beloved traditions of Beat ‘SC Week are special favorites of both students and alumni. If you’re not already a SAA member, then show your Bruin spirit and join this week!

There are some great events happening in honor of Beat ‘SC Week. Hope to see you all at them!

Go Bruins!

Joe Manko President Student Alumni Association

Car Smash Tuesday, Nov. 13 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Bruin Plaza

Take out your aggression for the rivals across town via a sledgehammer and an old car decorated in Trojan colors.

Blood Drive Wednesday, Nov. 14 10 a.m.-4 p.m., James West Alumni Center

Bruins and Trojans compete to see which school can donate the most pints of blood. Donors receive a free T-shirt, food and in the process help those in need.

Bonfire and Rally Wednesday, Nov. 14 9:30-10:30 p.m., Wilson Plaza

Join thousands of Bruin fans at the annual bonfire and rally. The UCLA Spirit Squad and band lead a rally featuring football players and coaches. Once everyone is fired up, the event culminates with the three-story high bonfire being set ablaze.

Bruin Night Out Thursday, Nov. 15 7-10 p.m., Westwood Village

Enjoy a special night of Bruin discounts on food and drinks in Westwood Village.

Bruinfest Friday, Nov. 16 8-11 p.m., Bruin Plaza

This annual carnival-complete with food, rides, games, prizes and entertainment-is a community favorite. Bruinfest provides one last opportunity before the big game for the UCLA community to come together and celebrate how great it is to be a Bruin! SAA members, stop by the James West Alumni Center to pick up your complimentary $5 worth of game and ride tickets.
