The fraternity lost a lawsuit to the parents of a USC student who died in a "hazing" incident as a Sigma Nu pledge in 1980. The parents of Lurie Barry Ballou, a Sigma Nu pledge who died in 1980, won $200,000 in I actual damages and $50,000 in punitive damages. THE SUIT, filed in June 1983, had asked for $3 million in damages in the 20-year-old's death. Ballou died after drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, and the jury decided he did so as part of the fraternity's pledge requirements. The suit had named USC's Sigma Nu chapter and 1980 chapter officers as well as USC President James Holderman and thenVice President for Student Affairs James ?J Campbell, but all were dropped from the suit during court proceedings. Alan Lipsitz, present USC Sigma Nu presi\ dent, said the court's ruling would have some 1 pff^rtc r?n thp chnnter hut hp wncn't curf> u/hnt J they would be. j "IT HAPPENED five years ago and there's J not a brother left here from that time. \ Everyone realizes that it was a regretable acciI dent," Lipsitz said. J "We'll have to abide by the new campus \ policy (about alcohol). Every semester, it's l changing because of the drinking age," he / said. W' ?

Jerry Brewer, Director of Student Activities, said in the future the university will require a clean bill of health from fraternity members. "EVIDENTLY, SOMETHING was wrong," Brewer said. On the night of the incident, Ballou and other pledges were forced to run through a neighboring fraternity's dormitory dressed only in underwear, according to fraternity memoers wno were present. Several Sigma Nu brothers said they noticed Ballou's skin had a bluish tint, and they sat him on a couch until he regained normal color. The next morning, fraternity members found Ballou face down on the couch. RICHLAND COUNTY Coroner Frank Barron ruled Ballou died of strangulation from choking on his own vomit while unconscious. "Alcohol laws depend on state law. In 1980, the age for distilled spirits was 21 and 18 for beer and wine. Obviously, when you have someone die of something, it brings a greater attention to the problem," Brewer said.

"The lawsuit has drawn out attention to the problem and Sigma Nu is complying with state regulations," he said. THE SUIT had charged the fraternity's national corporation, corporate director Maurice Littlefield and chapter officers John Stelling and David Crigler with "creating and allowing dangerous and unlawful activities and hazing to be conducted while failing to adequately regulate the pledging process." After the incident, Ballou's parents went to state Sen. Tom Smith, D-Florence, and Rep. Lois Eargle, D-Horry, trying to get a law passed against hazing. In 1982, the General Assembly sent a concurrent resolution to the state Commission on Higher Education, asking it to make recom tiiviiuaiivjiio uii luuuuuuig naziug in siaic schools. In 1983, the commission said hazing was the responsibility of the administrative and governing boards of the school involved. SMITH INTRODUCED identical bills in the Senate in 1981 and 1982 that would have given statewide uniformity to penalties for hazing practices. The bills would have made it possible for hazing victims to sue individuals responsible for initiation acts that resulted in bodily injuries. iNeitner Din passed tne senate tiaucanon Committee.
