Press confe provides tri Last Thursday I attended thr meeting of the Intercollegiate Activities Committee at the Osborne Administration Building. After waiting for over an hour for the executive session to end, I and several other members of the media were allowed in for the open seesion. There, athletic director King Dixon gave his state-of-theUSC-athletic-department address. Here are some of the highlights: The field house, or new bubble, is on schedule and will 1 r _ J - ? nouse iour maoor tennis courts ana . artificial surface so the football and soccer squads can practice. # 40,000 tickets for the upcoming Bears-Bills game have J been sold. And on Aug. 29 there will be an open house for the Cockabooses surrounding Williams-Brice Stadium. The Cockabooses will be featured on ESPN during their broadcast of the NFL exhibition game. # When USC has a home game, Williams-Brice becomes the fourth largest city in the state of South Carolina. # Involving expansion, USC ] interim president Arthur K. Smith < said USC is in close contact with ] the presidents of the Southeastern Conference and the Atlantic Coast i Conference. "We are not simply | just sitting back." Yet, the committee favors an all-sports Metro conference and there are no legal ties that would hold USC from jumping to another conference, like the University of Arkansas did to the SEC. Now that the Razorbacks are i a member of the SEC, Smith still i feels the SEC will consider USC. ^ "I can't imagine any reason why > the SEC wouldn't offer us (a position)." Dixon averted any ques- 1 tions about expansion, stating that g was a matter in the hands of the f university's president.
