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

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. Nine
television sets with satellite connections
are strategically positioned

Murrell said changes in the
band's football game schedule also
serve to present a new image. He
said the band will divide into three
pep bands on the comers of the stadium
before the game in order to

bands will leave the stadium right
before the game and the entire band
will assemble and enter as a group.
"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.
There are many different reasons
the Cock Pit closed. One reason

Henry to recognize band as a sport,
asking him to practice with the
band for a day.
"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

Another deals with the problem

underage drinkers ran off the older
clientele. He said there were many
instances of rowdyness at Cock Pit
that he would like to eliminate at
the Upper Deck.
The goals of the new bar include

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.

Professor
; Profile
From Staff Reports
In the tradition of art responding
to disaster, USC art professor
j Deanna Leamon is undertaking a
series of drawings and paintings to
convey the aftermath of suffering
from a fatal fire last year in
U^mlol M n
iicuiiiLi, n.v,.
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.

Leamon is using a USC
Research and Productive
Scholarship Award to produce
what will become a traveling
exhibit of at least 25 paintings and
drawings.
She has just begun meeting with
survivors of the fire and families of
victims to gather the thoughts and
emotions that will become the
exhibit's theme.
She expects to complete the first

McKissick Museum will feature
the exhibit in November 1993.
"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.
