The 28th-annual Mr. and Ms. USC competition will begin at 7 p.m. April 1 in the Blatt P.E. Center. The contest is an amateur event in men's bodybuilding and women's figure. Any faculty member, staff member, or student from any USC campus can compete.

Admission is $5 at the door.

"So far, it looks like this year's competition will be the largest in many years, with more men and women competing," said Harrison Greenlaw, advisor to the USC Bodybuilding and Fitness Club, the student organization that sponsors the event. "Anyone who is interested in competing should register by March 6, but late entries to March 29 will be considered."

In addition to sponsoring the competition each year, the USC Bodybuilding and Fitness Club offers regular meetings and training sessions for both men and women.
