Two USC officials dismissed from suit < a i?\ A u.?o ,i;<i icr yr\* j r\ v?uv.uu juvigv, nas uidiiindv,u \.w\j u jv ui i Kian from a lawsuit over the death of a student during fraternity "Hell Week" activities, but ordered the sehdol to defend itself. Circuit Judge Frank McGowfan has determined that USC President James Holderman and James Campbell, vice president of student affairs, were immune from the $3 million suit because they were sued in their official capacities. McGowan, however, ruled that the university is not immune from the suit, in which several fraternity officers are named. Attorneys for the university said they will appeal the decision to the S.C. Supreme Court. I he suit was tiled by Johnsonvme resident banlord Kay Ballon, whose 20-y -old son, Lurie Barry Ballou, was found dead Jan. 2: 1980, in the Sigma Nu fraternity lounge. Ballou was found by a fraternity brother about 7:30 a.m., following a party for 17 pledges. Richland County Coroner Frank Barron III ruled that Ballou died of strangulation. While unconcious, he had choked on his own vomit. The coroner said the blood alcohol level in Ballou's body was "high enough to have been potentially fatal." The Bullous claimed Holderman and Campbell were negligent and liable for damages. "They did not properly supervise the fraternities at the university, and they failed to properly train university personnel in regulating fraternity activities," the suit charged. But McGowan said the case involved the officials' discretionary public duties and did not give rise to a cause of action against them in their official capacities.

Since then, more than 5,300 calls have been handled from virtually every county in South Carolina. According to program coordinator Kathy Mayfield, computerization of the information was essential. "Directories of such services had been compiled before," she said, "But they were out-of-date by the time they were published. Our computer system makes it possible for us to update information on services as soon as changes take place." The data base for the system will include all information currently maintained by SCHSIS such as descriptions of ser vitta, u aaiL i^^uiiLiiiv.iii.'N, auun.33t3 diiu public numbers, contact names, hours of operation, building accessibility and other information about each service offered. The nationwide service is expected to be in operation in late summer of 1984. 33X333 fly M <H^B 'Bfll Mfo\ M T III f, nUP W^Bpfe' lALtUh 1Mb TAPE Height: 10.16 cm Weight: 2.41 kilograms Stride: 635 cm Length: 2032 cm Best Clocking: Broke the 3 minute meter (3/20/81) I0IIS Ain nrrinnrv v A mm.A MJMJ COMERS HBMMMMMMMMMMMmMMMMHBMnMINtMMMMMMi ?INGTURTLE R BULLET! 1 7:00 p.m. <?> 1982 Adolph Coots Co Golden.
