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.

A national information and referral system for the handicapped
to be based at USC was announced Monday by
President Ronald Reagan at ceremonies proclaiming the 1980s
the "decade of the disabled person."
Modeled on USC's South Carolina Handicapped Services
Information System (SCHSIS), the nationwide service will
provide computerized information on services for the handicapped

vided by USC and the S.C. Developmental Disabilities Council
of the Governor's Office. 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she said, "But they were out-of-date by the time they were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

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.
