T umiorms, By CHRIS MULDROW Staff Writer The USC Band is using new uniforms, a new logo and new blood to become Lhe "Mighty Sound of the Southeast," according to Brian Murrell, band public relations director. "We're trying to establish an identity," Murrell, who is also the band's equipment manager, said. "We felt we needed the identity with our entrance into the SEC. lhere are so many changes among other bands, changes regionally, and changes with the university ? we felt like we needed some change," he said. "We have been aggressively trying to get a new image out," Murrell said. "We have the new uniforms, and we have never had a logo until now. Our motto, 'The Mighty Sound of the Southeast' should stick with us for a while." Damon Hinson, a four-year alto saxophone player, likes the changes in the way the band practices. He said members learn shows at a faster pace because each person has a drill chart, instead of one New owner By SUE BUSH Staff Writer ___ Of the many changes taking place on and off campus this semester, one major difference which will affect students' social activity is the closing of the Cock Pit. The new owners Pat Mueller, Erick May, and Craig Bernstein are attempting to create a new reputation for the bar named Upper Deck Sports Bar and Grill. The sports bar has a checkered floor and a green wall decorated with sports-oriented posters.

He said the band will divide into three pep bands on the comers of the stadium before the game in order to . I I !

"We used to march in very early, before there were any fans in the stadium," Murrell said. "This way a lot more people will get to see and hear us march in." Other subtle changes to the band's act include a sign above the band's seats in Williams-Brice Stadium and some changes in camp and practices which emphasize uniqueness. Hinson, a math education senior, said band director James Copenhaver has changed band leadership roles. "Instead of having one specific leader, he wants everyone to be a leader," Hinson said. Band members have also started doing radio giveaways and chal*s replace G around the restaurant. There are also a number of pool tables, pin ball machines, hockey games, and other games. Renovations are still being made and other sports-related games such as dart boards are going to be added in the near future. Unlike the Cock Pit, Upper Deck has a diverse menu selection. The dishes range from Berman Sticks, Madden Fries, Musburger, Brave salad , Detroit Red Wings and other food named from sports. Prices vary from $1.50 drinks to $4-5 dishes.

"We knew we had to be a little more unique to be recognized," Murrell said. Murrell said the changes to the band have been easier because 40 percent of the band members are freshmen. According to Hinson, upperclassmen help freshmen change from their high school marching style to Carolina's style. "We don't have to retrain the freshmen, so it is easier to try something new," he said. Murrell would like to recruit even more new band members from the university. "I think a lot of people?would like to be part of the band, but they sell themselves short and never give it a try," he said. "The majority of band members are not even music majors, and man>l band mpmhprc mnWp hpftpr oraHpc than students who aren't involve^ in an activity, because members learn to manage their time better." 3ck Pit with was their slow summer business. Another deals with the problem of underage drinking. According to Erick May, the large numbers of underage drinkers ran off the older clientele.

I was overly assured that my lack of experience wouldn't be a difficulty." Band members aren't the only ones to benefit from learning music and time management skills, according to Murrell. He said Kappa Kappa Psi, a fraternity, and Tau Beta Sigma, a sorority, exist for band members. The Greek organizations are mainly social, but they also do service projects for charity and the band. Murrell said an added benefit of band membership is the feeling of a job well done. "We are here to support the team and the university, and I think we do a good job of it," Murrell said. "It's hard work, but the thrill of performing in front of thousands of fans is definitely worth it," Jansen said. sports bar ITW " <?TZ^? lunch hours.

The blaze in a poultry processing plant left 25 dead, and controversy ensued when it was discovered that some fire exit doors had been locked. 1 * For Leamon, the disaster symbolized the disregard some people have for the safety of others. And in a larger sense, she said the event has become a symbol for her of the chasm between society's have and have-nots. "This one incident represents a lot of the issues facing us as a nation," Leamon said. "This was not a black/white issue?that these people, because they were poor and uneducated and considered to be lower class, were somehow expendable." After German dive-bombers blasted Guernica, Spain, in 1937, Pablo Picasso turned to the canvas the death and destruction that became symbolic of Adolf Hitler's war machine. Years later, some survivors of the Holocaust recorded through drawings and paintings the nightmarish memories of an event almost too horrible for words.

"I'm not illustrating the incident itself, but using it as a starting point to make a general statement about human suffering," she said. "This will be an aesthetic statement with both social and moral relevancy." Leamon has produced two exhibits in the past, using life-sized figures drawn with charcoal to depict themes of abuse of bureau crauc power ana numan uispiacement by technology. The Hamlet plant disaster exhibit will also employ life-sized figure drawings, she said. "I want this exhibit to be accessible to people who ordinarily might not visit art galleries and musuems," she said. To that end, Leamon plans to show the exhibit in public libraries across North Carolina as well as more traditional settings such as musuems and art galleries. "I try to make work that has different layers of meaning. And because my work is figurative, I think it is more accessible to a broader audience." she said. Leamon joined USC a year ago after teaching at the Milwaukee Institute of Art Design, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and Washington University in St. Louis. :y Clean AUNDRY O Wash 500 Q\ d 550 per lb.
