The University of South Carolina Monday, February 6, 2006 Vol. 99, No. 59 • Since 1908 Pittsburgh tops Seattle 21-10 in Super Bowl XL ^ Cowher, Bettis finally win championship; Steelers win first Super Bowl since 1980 Eddie Pells THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT — Mick Jagger moved up and down the field at halftime more easily than the Pittsburgh offense did for most of the game. In the end, though, Jerome Bettis, the Steelers and their thousands of rowdy fans wound up the big winners ^on Super Bowl Sunday. ™ Save for a few big nlavs that changed the game; style points were hard to come by on America’s annual football holiday. But to Pittsburgh, the 21-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks was beautiful—a gritty grind of a game that included just enough flair to transform a blue-collar team playing in a blue-collar city into champions. SUPER BOUJL • 9 Law dean candidate visits campus, meets with faculty David Shipley, former USCprofessor, ^ aims to raise credentials, scholarship rates Rosemarie Cox THE GAMECOCK One of the candidates for dean of USC’s School of Law visited campus last week and met with faculty, alumni and students. David Shipley, a former law professor and associate administration dean at USC, went through a series of meetings last week, starting Wednesday afternoon with ^interim dean, Philip Lacy. ^Shipley also attended an alumni luncheon, a reception in Charleston, and numerous other meetings and outings with faculty and staff. “I’m trying to get a sense about how much the school has changed since I was here in 1990,” said Shipley, who worked at USC from 1977 until 1990. “A lot of things that were strong about the school when I was here remain strong,” Shipley said, mentioning the clinical program, the pro bono program and bar passage rates. Shipley, who has also served as law dean at the University of Georgia, the University of Kentucky and the University of Mississippi laughed about the idea that he is “working his way across the SEC.” “I’m trying to find a good football team;” he joked. Friday morning, Shipley had an open conference meeting with students in the law school building. He appeared comfortable and jovial as he gave the room an overview of his career in law and teaching. He then opened the floor to any questions the students might have. The first question regarded Shipley’s agenda if he becomes dean. Shipley said his first and foremost concern was raising the student credentials at the law school. While he was dean at UGA, there was a continual increase in their incoming student credentials.

Materials left over from the demolition will be used by the Arnold School of Public Health’s new facility. Plaza site - • to stay unused, for now • Josh Rabon THE GAMECOCK The Arnold School of Public Health will use rubble from Sunday’s demolition of the Carolina Plaza to expand its facilities, adding on an additional 105,000 square feet at a cost of more than $22 million. The site was to be used for parking and offices for the School of Public Health, but it was announced Friday that there are no immediate plans for the space. The site will become green space, said Lucy Hollingsworth, the school’s public information director. “The Plaza was where PLflZfl • 4 RHA plays host to SCORE conference seventy students from six s. C. universities confer on campus, address college networking Jess Davis STAFF WRITER Delegates from six South Carolina universities met Friday and Saturday at USC for the annual SCORE conference, sponsored by RHA. SCORE, or the South Carolina Organization for Residence Education, brings together students involved in resident life from all over the state in an effort to “connect the larger universities with smaller ones to find a common ground in the state of residence halls,” said Terrill Wilkins, a third-year history student and 2006 SCORE Director. Seventy delegates came to Columbia Friday from Coker College, Winthrop University, USC-Aiken, Clemson University and the College of Charleston. They joined USC’s delegation and conference staff for dinner and fun, followed by a day of seminars. The theme of this year’s conference was GSN: Growing through Student Networking, and, in keeping with the theme, most of the seminars and activities tried to incorporate a “game show” feel. Seminars included “Sexual Jeopardy,” which focused on how resident advisers can teach their residents about sexual ■ education; “And the Survey Says..., ” taking its name from “The Family Feud”; and “Don’t Press Your Luck,” a seminar on reflection. Taught by students and professionals from the various universities, the seminars also focused on student networking. “Ther e’s always something you can learn from somebody else,” Wilkins said during SCORE • >1 Jessica Beltman / THE GAMECOCK USC students Savannah Humphries, front, and Katie Moore ride a tricycle during the SCORE conference.

Carter ^ias made himself into a local celebrity to USC students and Columbia residents one sandwich at a time. ‘Beezer’s Guy’: deliverer, movie buff, local legend Always on the run, James Carter keeps Columbia well fed Jess Davis STAFF WRITER Bundled up in a scarf, hat and flannel jacket, James Carter grabbed a package and walked deliberately to his 1997 Saturn. Speaking sparingly, he focused on navigating the dark, winter Columbia streets. He was a man on a mission. Minuteslaterheapproaches a quiet building, its night staff busy behind closed doors. Inside, he completes his task and the recipient of the package beams with delight. She joins thousands of others who have benefited from Carter’s work. The 5 2-year-old deliveryman for Beezer’s has made a second career out of food delivery and became something of a campus legend in the process. For the past couple years, at least one student has bought a Beezer’s T-shirt and dressed as Carter for Halloween, Beezer’s owner Lori Coomey said. Older students remember him riding around Columbia on a moped with a trademark shock of red hair, but each year a new group of students grow to recognize Carter. “If you go to USC, you have seen ‘The Beezer’s Guy,’” fourth-year media arts and psychology student Chris Scott said. “It’s damn near impossible to miss him; he’s kind of sketchy, but not too far gone.” But students, after devouring their food, often wonder how “The Beezer’s Guy” came to be. Rumors abound about what Carter did before working at Beezer’s — some say he’s a millionaire or a felon — but BEEZCRS • 4 Viewpoints Lindsey Dennerlein has some issues with ‘inside lane hogs) Valene Sims suggests we savor the beauty of clean air and a healthier environment. i '( The Mix it s up to you Ytmnd.com is a host Web site for Internet users who create pages of funny images and animations. > Sports Conference trouble USCs men’s basketball team lost to Arkansas 73-59 on Saturday. t INDEX Comics & Crossword..8 Classifieds.11 Horoscopes.8 Opinion.5 Police Report..2
