the how humanities will come out
of all of this, and I think badly.”
Meanwhile, the College of
Liberal Arts is still waiting for a
dean. Former liberal arts dean
Joan Stewart left in June to accept
the presidency at Hamilton
University in upstate New York.
John Skvoretz was named the in
terim dean, but a search for a new
dean can’t begin until the question
of the merger is resolved.
“We need to get on with a
search, and we need to know what
to search for,” Odom said.
Former USC President John
Palms also raised the question of a
merger when he first came to the
university in the early 1990s.
Odom said that at the time, both
sides were so against it that the
idea wasn't moved forward.
During the Strategic Directives
and Initiatives Committee inter
views in 2001, Odom said the
deans of both schools were more
open to the possibility of a merg
er. When Sorensen came to the
university in 2002, the question
was raised again. Stewart's de
parture in June provided the op
portunity to formally investigate
the merger.
Odom received his undergrad
uate degree from the University
of North Carolina Chapel Hill and
his graduate degrees from the
University of Indiana — both of
which have combined arts and sci
ences colleges. He said he thinks
the merger would help USC foster
interdisciplinary research, some
thing that the administration
would like to see.
The merger could, however,
impact every undergraduate stu
dent, Odom said, as the university
is likely to consider establishing
a core curriculum for all students
if the new college is created. Right
now, students take classes ac
cording to their various colleges.
A core curriculum would require
all students, regardless of their
major, to take the same funda
mental courses.
Fourth-year media arts and
anthropology student Kathy
Mancuso was one of only a few
students who came to the forum.
She was also one of the few people
to voice their support for the
merger.
“I think it will knock down bar
riers for students,” she said. “It's
difficult for students who want to
do this cross-over work.”

way Sarge did his, we would nev
er have any trouble at the school,”
said Bob Fulton, the legendary
play-by-play announcer for USC
football. “I never heard him say
anything derogatory about anyone.
His life should be a role model.”
Walter Langley, who said he
lived across the street from Frye
“a long time ago" was also at the
visitation. He said Frye was a good
man.
Frye was placed in charge of all
university grounds in 1968. He re
tired from that position in 1977,
and was honored by the Carolina
baseball team in 1980 when their
field was named in his honor.
“It’s difficult to put into words
me mgn regain
and feelings we
all had for him,”
USC baseball
coach Ray
Tanner said in a
news release.
“I'm thankful
for the opportu
nity to have
known him, to
have been around him, and to
have the privilege to represent
this university in the ballpark that
bears his name.”
The American Baseball
Coaches Association named Frye
Groundskeeper of the Year in 1993,
and he continued to care for USC's
athletic facilities until 1997, the
same year his wife Ruby died.
USC Sports Information
Director Kerry Tharp said Frye s
dedication and longevity were un
paralleled, and that Frye could of
ten be found walking the fields
even in me
twilight of his
life.
“Up to the
last few weeks,
he was still do
ing what he en
joyed the
most,” Tharp
said. “When
you think of the
facilities we have, particularly the
playing fields, Sarge has had his
imprint on all of them.”

above and beyond their regular
salary, to specifically enforce un
derage drinking laws,” said
Kelly Davis, the council’s public
relations director.
The grants were awarded to
the South Carolina Department
of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse
Services by the Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency
Prevention of the United States
Justice Department.
They provide $200,000 to fund
ari Alcohol Enforcement Team
in downtown Columbia, chiefly
targeting Five Points and the
Vista. The remaining $150,000
will support the existing
Lexington/Richland School
uisirici rive aicuiioi
Enforcement Team and enable
expansion into Lexington School
District One.
“We are really excited about
the opportunity to come into the
downtown area,” Davis said. “It
is really an overall downtown ef
fort, not just for USC, but for oth
er Columbia colleges and high
school students as well.”
Five Points merchant
Richard Burts, owner of Big
Al’s, said he believes the Alcohol
Enforcement Team has the po
tential to reduce underage
drinking, but that the enforce
ment can’t be short term.
“If they only enforce the laws
for a month, then everyone will
just lay low for a month. The
overall effectiveness depends on
how the enforcement tracks over
a long period of time,” Burts
said.
Davis said the council is also
“concerned because of health
and safety issues.”
“Our mission is to help save
lives,” Davis said. “We want to
help improve the quality of life,
and the grants help fulfill our
mission to keep people safe.”
In addition to the Alcohol
Enforcement Teams, the grants
funded the Capital Area
Substance Abuse Prevention
Coalition, which was co-found- •
ed by the council and USC’s
Office of Student Life.
Student views toward the en
forcement team vary.
“I do not think more law en
forcement will help the underage
drinking situation. The drinking
age snuuiu ue luweieu iu 10,
first-year music student Melissa
Whitaker said.
Second-year accounting stu
dent Emily Meyer, however, sees
the Alcohol Enforcement Team
as a positive project.
“Underage drinking shouldn’t
happen. There is an age limit for
a reason,” Meyer said.
Even students who feel the
team is advantageous appear
skeptical of the its ability to de
crease underage drinking.
“If people want to drink,
they’re going to find a place to
drink,” first-year broadcast jour
nalism student Amanda Young
said.
