Guy Lewis, former director of sports
studies at the University of Massachusetts at
Amherst, took over USC's new department of
sport administration July 1.
The new department, opening in the college
of applied professional sciences in the sprine
of 1988, will offer a bachelor of science
degree in sports administration.
"Courses will not begin until the spring due
to lack of finances, not due to lack of interest,"
Lewis said.

Lewis set up the sports studies program at
Massachusetts. He said it was so successful,
he couldn't satisfy the demand for
enrollment.
Lewis said a misconception about USC's
new program is that it's directed towards
athletes. The program will welcome anyone
with an interest in sports administration and
sports industry careers, he said.
According to the course description, the
uepanmeni win use Carolina coliseum, tnc
USC Athletic Department and local sports
organizations and clubs to compliment course
offerings.
