On December 7 and 8, General Motors and the Undergraduate Student Government teamed up to provide USC students with a much needed break from the hours of studying in preparation for the upcoming finals week.

In the atypical cold Los Angeles night, hundreds of students lined up behind USC's Leavey Library to sign up and receive the free ride and food provided at the "Drive Thru Finals with Chevy" event.

The event offered USC students rides to one of five different fast food locations around campus, namely, McDonald's, Carl's Jr., Taco Bell, Del Taco and Jack in the Box, in style. Chevrolet provided their new line of Camaro sports cars, including Bumblebee from the movie Transformers, and Equinox Crossovers, as the shuttle cars for the hungry students. Each student was also treated with $8.00 worth of food at any of the locations, and was given a goody bag containing a notebook, a scantron sheet, a set of earplugs and an $8.00 gift certificate from Carl's Jr.

"We just thought that we would do something unique and fun during the finals," said Diedra Wylie, a GM spokeperson. "And this is also a way to let them experience the new cars from Chevy."

She said that the new line of cars is fuel-efficient and affordable for a college student on a budget.

According to Wylie, approximately 300 students showed up on the first night and about 150 students were already lining up in the first half an hour of the event on the second night.

The service was made available from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. on both nights. The students only had to show their USC student IDs and sign a liability form to participate in the event.

"The students are being very receptive to it," said Paige Hill, senior director of communications of USG. "I think they appreciate the break from the studying and the free food."

Anna Caludac, a junior majoring in French and Spanish, was waiting in the cold for a little under an hour since 9 p.m. for her turn on the second night. She went on both nights.

"It's a nice little study break since it's convenient and easy," Caludac said. "I was looking forward to it because I have been studying for the whole day."

Thanks to the event, Caludac and hundreds of other students were ready to study with full stomachs.
