By David Hill
USC is trying to be dismissed from a lawsuit brought by the
parents of a Sigma Nu fraternity pledge who died Jan. 25,
1980, during a fraternity party at the university.
The suit, filed in June in Richland County Court of Common
Pleas, stems from the death of Lurie Barry Ballou, a
20-year-old fraternity pledge who died at the fraternity's
lounge.
Shortly after the suit was filed, USC sought to be dismissed,
claiming the university is part of state government and so cannot
be sued without its permission. No other action has been
taken, said Paul Ward, general counsel to the university.
SIGMA NU fraternity is also named in the suit brought by
Sanford Ray Ballou of Johnsonville. The fraternity's national
corporation, Executive Director Maurice Littlefield, and
chapter officers John Stelling and David Crigler are accused
of creating and allowing dangerous and unlawful activities

Leadership conference
scheduled for September
By John Deiner
Taking the initiative to lead will be the general theme when
USC student leaders and their potential predecessors meet at
the Leadership Conference for Student Governmnet Sept. 27.
The conference will be held in the Russell House ballroom
from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and admission will be free.
Participants at the conference will include student organization
leaders and students who want to become leaders.

potential leaders," Randy I
Lamkin, student develop- ^
ment coordinator, said.
Lamkin said a strong ef- i
fort will be made to reach

The conference is sponsored
by the Student m
Government Association, Randy Lamkin

Program and Omicron Delta Kappa, the national leadership
fraternity.
"The conference could not be a success without the combined
resources of the four groups," Lamkin said.
BESIDES THE organization's interaction, Lamkin said he
hopes student interaction at the conference will encourage student
leaders to get to know each other better.
Participants will stay together as a group throughout the
day, he said.
Another goal of the coordinators is for students to develop
both personal and organizational skills as a leader, Lamkin
said. Speakers at the conference will offer tips on how to be
mentally conditioned for leadership roles and will give advice
on how to be an effective leader.
"We want to get students to recognize the key things essential
to effective leadership," Lamkin said.
A PRESENTATION by Omicron Delta Kappa will open
the conference, which Lampkin said, is still being organized.
Students will attend faculty and staff led panels of their
choice, and from there, the panels will break down into
smaller groups for "brainstorming" sessions and other exercises,
Lamkin said.
A reception will close the conference.
Application forms are available at the Russell House information
desk.
