Founded 1908 Monday Volume 79, No. 36 University of South Carolina November 17 Deck swayed. none arrested By AMY DELPO Assistant news editor While security officials looked on, USC fans cheered and sang, and the cast upper deck swayed during Saturday's football victory over ? Wake Forest. No arrests were made concerning the deck, however, and "there were no problems," said Jerry Brewer, dean of student life. Brewer had announced Friday that any students caught intentionally swaying the deck wouia oe suojcct to disciplinary action or arrest. The upper deck at Williams-Brice Stadium has been the object of much concern and statewide attention because of the amount of swaying it has been doing this season. W1S-TV has done several stories concerning the upper deck, including one Friday, showing cracks in the structure. A Dave Rinker, systems vice president for ^ facilities planning, said he was disturbed that the station chose to show the story. "They (the cracks) have nothing to do with the structure of the upper deck at all," Rinker said. He maintained that the deck is perfectly safe. Richard Pool, USC professor of structural engineering, agreed. "I'm not concerned a bit," said Pool, who inspected the deck about three weeks ago. "It's perfectly safe. They shouldn't even be talking about it." Althnnoh liniv#?r?itv nffirialc maintain ?Via? flu. deck is completely safe, the swaying makes some people uncomfortable. This prompted officals to ask the band not to play certain songs such as gfe "Louie, Louie" and "Twist and Shout" that ^ have a rock V roll beat. Despite the restriction on the popular song, fans sang "Louie, Louie" even though the band did not play it. Many fans and students were not pleased when the band did not play the songs, however, and officials were forced to move the band from the corner between the south end zone and the lower east stands to the upper deck. "We felt that last week there had been a lot of ^ problems with people throwing things at the 9 band and taunting them for not playing things we had asked them not to play," Brewer said.
