Merger feasibility
committee to report
findings in September
A committee appointed by President Sorensen
to examine the feasibility of a merger between
the College of Liberal Arts and the College of
Science and Mathematics has begun its work
and plans to report its findings by the end of
September.
“We’re considering the feasibility of a
merger with an open mind,” said committee
co-chair Madilyn Fletcher. “We’re trying to
get as much input
as we can from the
University community and seeking
information from
people outside the
University who have
experience with
combined colleges of
science and arts.”
Fletcher
To assess the
potential opportunities, benefits, and disadvantages presented by such a merger, the
committee is encouraging faculty, staff, and
students to attend two forums scheduled from
4:30 to 6 p.m. Sept. 3 in Room 153 Gambrell
and 12:30 p.m. Sept. 8 in Room 011 Callcott.
Comments also can be e-mailed to
mergercommittee@gwm.sc.edu, preferably
before Aug. 31 and no later than Sept. 19.
Those e-mailing comments should include
their name and departmental affiliation; comments will be kept in confidence within the
committee.
Comments are encouraged to address the
following questions:
■ What are the possible advantages and
disadvantages of a merger with respect to
research and scholarship, teaching, the undergraduate experience, service to the community, and other elements of the University’s
mission?
■ If a merger were to take place, what would
be needed for its successful implementation?
Mother Nature with a twist
Photographer Perry Kirk gives nature a new look in “Pattern Language,” an exhibit
of botanical photograms and high-resolution nature shots coming to McMaster
Gallery Sept. 1. “Wasp” is a print embedded in thick acrylic, surrounded by metal
banding, and suspended about 12 inches off a wall to enable light to reflect
through it. For information about the exhibit, see the calendar on page 11.
Directory of outreach programs available
A print and Web-based directory of USC outreach programs has recently been
published and distributed to various governmental and community leaders across
the state. The directory, “Excellence in Engagement: University of South Carolina
School and Community Outreach Programs,” includes brief descriptions and contact information for more than 200 outreach programs in which USC is a primary
sponsor or partner. Limited quantities of the print version are available by calling
Gloria Price, College of Education, at 7-3075. The Web version of the directory
can be found at www.sc.edu/outreach. Program updates and new information that
needs to be added to the directory should be sent to Chris Horn, University Publications, e-mail: chorn@sc.edu.

Private giving to USC reached $53.7 million in 2002–03,
exceeding the University’s goal of $50 million.
The funds will be used to create scholarships, support
and attract outstanding faculty, enhance the libraries, improve academic programs, strengthen regional campuses,
and upgrade campus facilities.
“I am gratified that, even
in the economic downturn,
individuals and corporations still
contributed to USC,” President
Sorensen said. “These gifts do not
go for daily operating expenses
for the University but instead
are absolutely essential for us to
help students financially, through
scholarships, and to ensure that
Sorensen
they get the best education that
we can provide by offering enrichment programs, speakers, and research opportunities.”
Support for scholarships was $10.1 million, while
support for academic program enhancements totaled
$27.7 million. Gifts for faculty development, including
chairs and professorships, reached $4.1 million, and contributions to the Gamecock Club were $11.6 million.
The $53.7 million total is nearly double the annual
amount given to USC in the years before the 1995–2002
Bicentennial Campaign. Between 1993 and 1996, annual
giving to USC averaged just under $28 million.
USC is conducting a national search for an executive
director for the development office. The director will
oversee all University fund raising and help plan and
launch USC’s next capital campaign. The seven-year
Bicentennial Campaign ended June 30, 2002.
“My desire is to have someone here by early October,” said Hudson Akin, vice president for University
Advancement. “We need someone to coach our development staff and daily monitor the progress of our fundraising efforts.”
Successful fund-raising efforts have become even

Events to commemorate 40th
anniversary of desegregation
BY LARRY WOOD
President Sorensen and the African American Studies Program will commemorate the 40th anniversary of the desegregation of the University with
two events Sept. 11.
A roundtable discussion titled “The State of African American Studies”
will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. in Lumpkin Auditorium on the eighth floor of
the Moore School of Business. The University will sponsor a celebration of
the desegregation of USC from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Capstone Campus Room.
Both programs are free and open to the public.
On Sept. 11, 1963, Henrie Montieth (now Treadwell), James Solomon,
and Robert Anderson became the first African-American students to enroll at
USC since Reconstruction.
“Part of the reason for the celebration is to get students involved and

■ FULBRIGHT STUDENT TO TEACH IN FRANCE: Stephen Lentz, who
was graduated with a degree in French last spring, has been awarded a
Fulbright Teaching Fellowship to teach English in France. After teaching in
France, Lentz plans to pursue a master’s of education in secondary English
at USC and become certified to teach English as a second language. “I
am looking forward to this opportunity and the challenges that come with
teaching abroad,” he said. He participated in the tour program with USC’s
French department in 2001 and studied French language and culture at the
Institute of Touraine. He was president of First Mentors and Big Brothers/
Big Sisters, mentoring youth for three years while attending USC. A volunteer with the Best Buddies program and the Greenville Literacy Association
ESL computer lab, Lentz was president of USC’s residence-hall government for two years and active in the Adult Soccer League. USC’s Office of
Fellowships and Scholar Programs assists students with preparation for
national scholarship competitions.
■ IRMO STUDENT WINS TOP BUSINESS SCHOLARSHIP: Ana Zheng of Irmo, a
senior in the Moore School of Business, has been awarded an S.C. International Trade
Scholarship. Zheng, a student in the Honors College, was recognized at the annual
conference of the S.C. World Trade Center in Charleston. Zheng’s goal is to work in
finance, management, or international relations for an international company after
graduation. With a grade point average of 3.76, Zheng consistently has been named
to the president’s and dean’s honor rolls. She also is a member of the National Society
of Collegiate Scholars and Gamma Beta Phi honor society. Last spring, she attended
the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing for the semester.
The International Trade Scholarships, $1,500 awards, are presented to a junior at an
S.C. college who has an interest in international business.

Q. You’re helping keep traffic moving
in front of Patterson and Sims during
one of the early moving-in days for
freshmen. Who coordinates the parking project?
A. The Residence Hall Association, RHA,
takes care of the parking project every year.
It’s just been a tradition to help run things
and keep things going smoothly. It’s a good
way to get our name out on campus.
Q. What does the RHA do?
A. We’re one of the largest student organizations on campus. It basically represents
the interests of everyone who lives on
campus. It’s made up of representatives
from every single hall government.
Q. What specifically are you doing
today?
A. We try to limit parking to 20 minutes
so that everything runs smoothly and
we don’t have people taking three hours
moving in their kids.
Q. It’s after 2 p.m. now, and it’s a pretty
hot and humid Friday afternoon. How
long have you been working today?
A. We’ve been out here since 10.
Tomorrow, we’ll be out here from 7:30
a.m. to 5 p.m. It will be an all-day thing.
Q. Is this the first year you’ve volunteered to help with parking?
A. Yes, it’s the first year I’ve done it.
Q. What’s your experience been so
far? Have most people cooperated?
A. Yeah, 99 percent of the people are
really understanding and are easy to deal
with. You get a few people who don’t
understand why they should be out of
the parking places in 20 minutes.
Q. What are you doing in the RHA
this year?
A. I was a senator on the Horseshoe last
year, but this year I hold a council position within RHA. I was appointed by the
president to the cabinet as a consultant
on internal affairs. I won’t be an actual
elected representative of my hall government this year.
Q. What are you looking forward to
most about the new year?
A. Football and just getting back into
the swing of things. I moved in early so
I could help out this year.
USC Spartanburg tops
off new residence hall
The $15 million, 105,000-square-foot residence hall under construction at USC Spartanburg was officially “topped out” recently, marking
a significant milestone in the construction process.
A crane lifted the roof truss of the living/learning tower, the highest
point of the building, as nearly 100 USC Spartanburg officials and employees, architects, engineers, and construction crew members looked
on from below. John Stockwell, chancellor of USC Spartanburg,
invited people at the ceremony to sign their names on two beams that
will be used to construct the tower.
The residence hall will open in January 2004 and will house 350
freshmen. The new building will facilitate growth on the campus, contribute to the sense of campus community, and provide students with a
rich living and learning environment.
The USC Board of Trustees approved the project using an “off balance sheet” method. The Spartanburg County Commission for Higher
Education granted approval for new use of the existing property. A

USC Sumter receives
national AAUA award
Bed of Nails
Faculty and staff have inundated Landscaping and
Environmental Services
with calls about the identity of this prickly plant
growing at the entrance
to the Horseshoe, in front
of and behind the Russell
House, and at Swearingen. Solanum quitoense,
commonly called Bed
of Nails, features broad
green leaves covered
with sharp purple thorns
above and below. Small
white flowers along the
stalk turn into fuzzy green
fruits that ripen to a soft
tangerine in late summer.
“Most people just want to
know what that evil-looking plant is,” said Fred Drafts, who is in charge
of all of the annual beds on campus. An annual
in South Carolina, Bed of Nails can grow from
eight to 10 feet tall in tropical climates such
as Miami or Key West, Fla. “The one in front
of the Horseshoe has gotten up to about five
feet tall, and we’ve still got a couple of good
months in the growing season,” Drafts said.
“I’ve been having to cut it back to keep it from
covering up the University’s sign.”

SPAR announces new deadline for electronic submission of proposals
To ensure adequate time for processing of research funding proposals,
faculty and staff are requested to submit electronic proposals to the
Office of Sponsored Programs and Research (SPAR) at least 24 hours
before the sponsor’s deadline.
Growth in the number of mandatory electronic proposal systems
and problems with sponsor bandwidth and server speed on deadline
dates has necessitated the change. When the number of electronic
2
AUGUST 28, 2003
grant proposals was smaller, SPAR staff were able to handle submissions with few problems. As more sponsors have come online with
mandatory electronic submissions systems, there is an increasing
probability that some proposals will miss sponsors’ deadlines because
of last-minute submissions to the SPAR office.
SPAR is located in the Byrnes Building, 5th floor, and on the Web
at http://spar.research.sc.edu/.
USC Sumter recently received a national
award from the American Association of
University Administrators (AAUA) for the
campus’ integrated system of planning, budgeting, and assessment.
USC Sumter’s proposal, “Linking Planning,
Budgeting, and Assessment: One Institution’s
Journey,” was recognized with the AAUA
Exemplary Model of
Administrative Leadership Award.
C. Leslie Carpenter, USC Sumter
dean, and Kathryn
Barrett Duke, budget,
planning, and grants
director, attended
the AAUA’s annual
meeting in San FranCarpenter
cisco to make a brief
presentation on the planning, budgeting, and
assessment model.
“Everyone at USC Sumter shares in this
honor,” Carpenter said. “Our integrated planning, budgeting, and assessment model is not
an abstract model but one that has been used
regularly and that has benefited us.
“Using this model has helped USC Sumter to maintain excellent quality of service
in spite of numerous budget cuts and has enabled us to perform at a uniformly high level
in the state’s performance evaluation system.
During the past seven years, no other institution of higher education in South Carolina
has scored higher than USC Sumter.”
Carpenter gave credit to Christine Borycki, associate professor of management in
USC Sumter’s Division of Business Administration and Economics; Star H. Kepner, institutional research analyst; and Duke. “Their
presentation at a Fund for the Improvement
of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE) conference in 1999 provided a valuable base for the
proposal,” Carpenter said.
■ STUDENTS RECEIVE AWARDS IN NATIONAL COMPETITIONS: Two USC students recently were named recipients of
awards in national competitions. Jason Morton received a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Grant, and
Matt Hodge was awarded a Tau Beta Pi Scholarship. Morton
earned his degree in chemistry in May. His award will enable
him to conduct graduate research at the Tri-Institutional Training Program in Chemical Biology at Cornell University’s chemistry department. He also will conduct research at Rockefeller
University and the Sloan Kettering Memorial Cancer Institute
in New York City. He is planning a career in pharmaceutical
research. Hodge, who is majoring in civil and environmental
engineering, is studying at Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso
in Chile and also received $3,500 for second place in the Consulting Engineers of South Carolina Award competition.
■ WASHINGTON GROUP SUPPORTS AIKEN PUBLICATION:
Washington Group International has made a donation of
$5,000 in support of USC Aiken’s undergraduate literary arts
magazine, Broken Ink. “This is just another wonderful example
of how USC Aiken has been able to extend the learning
experience beyond the classroom thanks to our partnerships
with the corporate community and, in particular, the generous
support of education demonstrated by the Washington Group,”
said Tom Mack, chair of the Department of English. The Aiken
Partnership/Broken Ink Fund will be used to recognize creative
talent on the USC Aiken campus by awarding annual cash
prizes for the best published poetry and fiction. “The donation
is provided to focus additional attention to the literary arts on
the USC Aiken campus,” said Ralph R. DiSibio, president of
Washington Energy and Environment.
■ ALUMNUS RECEIVES STATE HONOR: Walter Metz, who earned a master’s degree
in library science in 1998 and a BA in 1981, recently received the Blue Granite
Recognition Award for state workers. Metz, who works in Gov. Mark Sanford’s office,
received the honor for helping a homeless man with amnesia reconnect with the life
he had known. Metz spent hundreds of hours, many on his own time, working to help
Alvin Williams find his family and rediscover his past. Williams arrived in South Carolina a few months ago with amnesia. A year earlier, he had awakened in Baltimore,
Md., by the side of the road with no memory. Because Metz thought Williams had a
Caribbean accent, he sent recordings of his voice to USC’s English department, which
placed Williams from Guyana. Williams’ brothers and sisters recognized his picture
on a Web site, and fingerprint and other identification confirmed his identity. Metz is
the fourth state worker to receive the Blue Granite, which honors state employees or
departments for excellent work.

In addition to having an official look for its
Web sites so that visitors will know they have

the University’s sites to be current, interactive,

International Serpent
Festival.
Obscure musical instrument featured on forthcoming CD
Craig Kridel’s serpents don’t slither or poke
bifurcated tongues into the air. Instead, they
make beautiful music.
“The serpent was invented in 1590 in
France and was integral to French mass
during the 18th century,” said Kridel, an
education professor who owns five different
types of serpents, including two vintage 1810
models. The odd-looking though mellowsounding instruments were precursors of the
modern tuba.
“It’s an instrument that blends well
with voices, at times better than any other
instrument,” he said. “The varying shapes of
serpents were all experiments with different
ways to achieve low notes.”
Kridel and USC music professor Ronald
Davis have engaged in research on historical
brass instruments for some time. In 1989, the
bicentennial year of the French Revolution,
they formed a pre-Napoleonic French Military band (with serpents) and organized an
curate, current, and reflects as positive an
image of the institution as possible,” Hogue
said, noting that the University’s Web sites
should be “a destination rather than just a
pass-through” where people will be rewarded
with interesting content.
“All of us are going to have to get used to
the idea of spending more time, more energy,
and more planning and thought on the Web as
we consider what to do with it,” Hogue said.
“We really want to encourage those
colleges and schools who haven’t gotten on
board with the new look to seriously consider
it. This has gone beyond a personal or even a
departmental focus. We as a University must
look at the Web as the single most powerful
communications tool we have.”

music journals, and has been making ripples
in the historical music world ever since.
“We billed it as the first and last time this
would happen in Columbia, a once-in-a-lifetime event that would transform our understanding of the instrument,” Kridel said.
In 1997, the Boston Pops, with John
Williams conducting, performed a serpent
concerto that premiered at USC’s 1989
festival. The USC event also prompted other
international gatherings.
Soon after the festival, Kridel and Davis
started the Historical Instrument Column in
the TUBA Journal, featuring research about
low brass instruments of the Baroque and
Classical eras. Kridel recently formed the
Berlioz Historical Brass, which offers cham-
ber music recitals of brass repertoire of the
18th–20th centuries. The serpent, of course,
is a signature member of the ensemble.
Along the way, Kridel and other serpent
enthusiasts have tried to piece together the
story of how the serpent evolved and how it
was played hundreds of years ago.
“It will always be an obscure instrument,
but it’s been quite rewarding to see the serpent
receive a little more attention,” Kridel said.
In fact, a new CD, Le Monde du Serpent,
by Doug Yeo of the Boston Symphony, is due
out this fall featuring serpent music played
by several nationally renowned early music
specialists and orchestral musicians. Not
surprisingly, Kridel is one of the performers.

■ USC PROGRAMS EARN ACCOLADES IN ANNUAL COLLEGE GUIDE: USC’s freshman programs and the Moore School of Business have captured accolades in the 2004 America’s
Best Colleges Guide, published by U.S. News & World Report. USC’s international business
was ranked No. 1 in undergraduate international business education, and the Moore
School of Business garnered a No. 39 national ranking, up four spots from last year and 10
spots from two years ago. The undergraduate international business program leads New
York University, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of
Michigan, and the University of Southern California. USC’s programs for first-year students
again were cited as being national models. Named the nation’s best provider of first-year
experiences in the publication a year ago, USC was listed with 32 other colleges and universities under the heading “First-Year Experiences” and under the broad category “Programs
to look for.” USC was joined by Duke University, Harvard University, Princeton University,
Stanford University, the University of North Carolina, the University of Virginia, and Yale
University, among others, in the prestigious group of 33 first-year programs acknowledged
as the nation’s best.
■ USC AIKEN RANKS THIRD IN THE SOUTH: USC Aiken was
ranked the third-best public comprehensive college in the South
in the 2004 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s America’s
Best Colleges Guide. USC Aiken has been ranked in the top three
six times and ranked first in the 2002 and 2003 editions. “We
are very pleased to once again celebrate this news. While we
certainly valued the first place ranking over the last two years, it
is important to note that USC Aiken has enjoyed being continuously ranked in the top three since the publication first began
ranking our category of institutions,” said Chancellor Thomas L.
Hallman. “USC Aiken also is the only institution to be ranked in
the top three for all six of those years.” The magazine contains
rankings of more than 1,400 accredited schools. The rankings
also are available on the U.S. News & World Report Web site at
www.usnews.com.
■ ÁRPÁD DARÁZS GROUP LOOKING FOR SINGERS:
Auditions are open for the Árpád Darázs Singers. All
voices are welcome. The group performs classical
and contemporary works, both sacred and secular,
accompanied and a cappella. Robert Neese is the
conductor. A Hungarian immigrant, Árpád A. Darázs
was a member of the USC faculty, the founder of the
USC Concert Choir in 1966, and the director of the choir
until his death in 1986. As a tribute, several University
music alumni formed the Árpád Darázs Singers to honor
Darázs and to continue the musical excellence he had
established. Concerts presented formally each year often
include music by Hungarian composers to honor Darázs’
homeland. For more information, call 803-333-0918 or

to help them understand the history, the
struggle, and the importance of what these
people did,” said Val Littlefield, an assistant
professor in the history department and in the
African American Studies Program.
“Students think things now are the way
they’ve always been, but they need to be
reminded that 40 years really isn’t that long.
Students think it’s ancient history,
but it’s not. It just happened.”
At the roundtable, speakers will examine specifically
USC’s African American Studies
Program. “They’ll address strong
points or weak links,” Littlefield
said. “USC’s program is 32 years
old. We’re at that critical juncture
where we need to think about
Littlefield
moving to a higher level.”
The speakers will talk about their specific
areas and how they fit into African American Studies. They also will address how the
program can make links with other departments on campus. A question-and-answer
session will follow the discussion. Speakers
will include:
■ James Anderson, University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign, who will discuss African-American education
■ Randall Burkett, Emory University, who
will talk about preserving African-American
documents and materials
■ Trudier Harris-Lopez, UNC at Chapel Hill,
who will address links between AfricanAmerican studies and literature
■ Robert Pratt, University of Georgia, who
will discuss oral history
■ Deborah Gray White, Rutgers University,
who will look at connections between African-American studies and people of color in
other countries.
“We want to get a dialogue going and talk
about how we take advantage of all these
wonderful, rich resources we have here at
USC and to look at where we want to go and
what’s the most logical way to get there,”
Littlefield said.
The evening program will feature people
who were involved in the desegregation of USC on Sept. 11,
1963. In addition to Treadwell and
Solomon, speakers will include
Dan Carter, history; Judge Jasper
Cureton; I.S. Leevy Johnson, a
lawyer; and Judge Matthew Perry.
Speakers will discuss their
experiences 40 years ago and
then answer prepared questions.
Following the discussion, they
will answer questions from the audience. A
reception with jazz by Skipp Pearson and
Jazzology will follow.
“We’ll videotape the events and interview
people involved in the desegregation individually and someday, hopefully, put together
a documentary on the 1963 desegregation of
USC,” Littlefield said.
“It’s important for the University to have
this commemoration, especially because
of the period in which it took place,” said
Cleveland L. Sellers Jr., director of the African American Studies Program. “1963 was
the heart of protest activity with the March
on Washington taking place on Aug. 28. Just
a couple of weeks later, the desegregation
took place here at USC. It’s important to
focus attention on those events so that the
younger generation will know the positive
aspects that followed such as equal employment opportunities.”

“No longer can we count on state appropriations to fund the University,” Akin said. “As we
work to become one of the top 50 research universities and move the University forward, we
clearly are going to need a broader and deeper base of private support.”

important than
ever for USC
Dear Colleagues,
As one of the newest members of the USC
family, I appreciate the opportunity to serve
as chair of the 2003–04 Family Fund Campaign. I have been impressed by what I have
learned about the giving spirit of the University family and your
commitment every
year to the success of
this campaign.

faculty, staff, and
budget cuts that
caused adjustments
Pick a program and show your support
for everyone, our family pulled together to
increase our overall participation rate. This
was a wonderful demonstration of your
Dear University Family,
steadfast allegiance to the University and
your support for the many programs provided
for our students.
The current economic environment makes
your gift to the 2003–04 Family Fund Campaign even more vital as we continually strive
to provide the highest quality education to the
students who choose to make Carolina their
college home. Gifts of any size are appreciated and can be paid through payroll deduction or a one-time contribution. You may
designate your gift to any area on campus.
Like you, I am proud of Carolina’s rich
history and excited about our opportunities
for the future. With your assistance, we can
ensure excellence in education for generations
of students yet to come.
I hope we can count on your support.
Please choose to make a difference.
Yours truly,
T.W. Hudson Akin
Vice President for University Advancement
Chair, 2003–04 Family Fund Campaign
“As our University
becomes increasingly dependent on
funding apart from
state appropriations,
it is urgent for us to
help all members
of the University
community. That’s
why it is particularly
important to support
the Family Fund,
which disburses 100
percent of all gifts
to the USC programs
designated by faculty
and staff donors.”
— President Sorensen
Thank you so much for making my first year as the director of the Family Fund such a rewarding
one. Not only have you given generously to support the Family Fund, but you have made me feel
very welcome as a new member of the University family. My position is truly a unique and enviable
one as it has allowed me to meet and interact with so many of you across
all areas of the University and to learn your unique interests and reasons for
giving something back. It has been very encouraging to see firsthand your
commitment and dedication to USC, even in these challenging economic
times. I truly believe that each member of the USC family is an integral part
of President Sorensen’s vision of Excellence in Engagement. Each of you
provides a crucial service that enables the University of South Carolina to
continue to be a center of excellence.
Newman
During the 2002–03 Family Fund campaign, your generosity and commitment to USC were
evident. I was so thrilled that, even with several state budget cuts, so many of you made room in your
personal budgets for the Family Fund. Thank you! We had 40 percent of our University family give
something back last year, which increased 2 percent over the previous year!
By making a gift, you can directly impact the funding of specific programs within your
department or help to support causes that are important to you from different areas of the University. You decide! I encourage you to consider what is important to you and find a way to support it
through USC.
In these tough economic times, your participation in the Family Fund is even more crucial than ever.
Your participation truly matters, and remember: no matter the size of your gift, your gift matters!
Catherine Newman, Director of Development, Family Fund

Pate named to panel to update dietary guidelines, food pyramid
Russ Pate, a professor in the Arnold School of Public Health, is one
of 13 nutrition experts from U.S. colleges and universities selected
to serve on a panel that will update the nation’s dietary
guidelines.
Pate, an associate dean for research and an expert on
physical fitness in children and teens, will join scientists
from some of the nation’s leading universities, including
Johns Hopkins, Harvard, and Baylor to serve on the Dietary
Guidelines Advisory Committee. The group will prepare
the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans report, which is
the basis for the well-known food pyramid and is under the
direction of the U.S. Health and Human Services and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture offices.
Pate
Published every five years, the guidelines are designed
to advise Americans on ways to improve overall health through proper
nutrition.
Pate, a past president of the American College of Sports Medicine,
said he is honored to have been selected to serve on the panel.
“Given the rising prevalence of obesity in our population, I feel that it is critical that physical activity be given
thorough consideration in the context of establishing
dietary recommendations for Americans,” said Pate, who is
on an Institute of Medicine panel that is developing guidelines on prevention of childhood obesity. “I am pleased
that I will be able to bring this perspective to the panel’s
deliberations.”
Pate recently received a $1.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study physical activity among
children in preschools. He coordinated the studies that
led to the development of the physical activity and public
health report of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the
American College of Sports Medicine.

years, and past president for two years.
He is a former editorial board member
of the society’s peer-reviewed journal,
Experimental Biology and Medicine,
and former secretary of the society, during which time he established the SEBM
Endowment Fund.
A professor in the School of
Medicine’s Department of Cell and

Journalism column
picked up by press
associations
“Common Sense Journalism,” a monthly
column by Doug Fisher, an instructor
in the School of Journalism and Mass
Communications, has been picked up
by the press associations in Alabama,
Arkansas, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
The column will appear in the associations’ bulletins, which are read by
journalism educators and professionals,
including many top editors and newspaper executives.
“Common Sense Journalism” looks
at issues of daily journalism, offers
hints on better ways to write and edit,
and gives practical tips for newsgathering and newsroom management. The
column is written from the commonsense perspective of Fisher’s more than
25 years in newspapers, broadcasting,
and the wire services as reporter, editor,
and manager.
Ten state press associations now run

Staff spotlight
■ Name: Kathy Bledsoe
■ Title: Teaching associate, student services
coordinator, and student advisor
■ Department: English Programs for Internationals (EPI)
■ Tell me about your job. This summer,
I was the program director for the professional development seminar for teachers
from Russia and Kazakhstan, and I was the
program director for the Fulbright Scholars in
a pre-academic program, both sponsored by
the Department of State. We have a Mexican
teachers program
coming in. So, not
only do I teach, I’m
in charge of administration from housing
to events.
■ Other duties? I
teach classes in EPI.
They can be anything
from grammar and
Bledsoe
writing to reading
and vocabulary to speaking and listening. Or
I could teach international English language
teachers, which would be classes for people
who are English teachers in their countries.
Last year, I taught English 101. This fall, I’ll
be teaching University 101. In addition, I’m
in charge of all the housing and activities or
events for our students.
■ What kinds of activities do you offer?
We plan a beginning of the term event, which
can involve food or an outing to Finlay Park
for a concert. It can be bowling—any kind
of cultural activity to get them involved
in the community. In the past, we’ve had
them work with Habitat for Humanity or the
Martin Luther King Jr. Service Day volunteer
program with American students. We always
have a Halloween party. We also have an
end-of-term event, which is very important to
our students who are leaving and will never
see the friends they have made again.
■ About how many students are in EPI? In
our regular program, it’s about 70 students.
It’s been higher, but 9/11 affected the number
of students able to come to the U.S.
■ How often do new students come in?
We have a new group of students every nine
weeks. We have to get students into apartments and students out of apartments. The
turnover is amazing. Of course, some students stay for more than one term, but some
come for only one term.
■ How are the students’ skills when they
arrive? You have some students who speak
no English, and you pick them up at the
airport, and they’re terrified. That’s part of
my department, too. We have people who cry
all the way in from the airport, but then, later,
they tell you they can’t believe they were like
that and that they love it. Others have never
used a computer for research..
■ How long have you been in EPI? I’ve
been here since 1990. I volunteered in a
program similar to this one in Denver. I decided to get my master’s, and I came here to
Columbia International University. I got my
degree thinking I would go overseas and do
mission work, but I ended up here, and I’ve
been here ever since.
■ What’s the best part of your job? I think
most of the people who work in this field love
their work because they love other cultures and
they love what they learn from internationals.
That’s what it is for me. Every time I walk into
a classroom, I learn something new. People in
this field enjoy learning how other people think
and how they see the world. It’s always new.
Even if it’s not new to you, it’s fun to be there
when one of your students learns something
new about a different culture.

AUGUST 28, 2003
Curtain going up on
Theatre South Carolina
2003–04 season
USC Theatre South Carolina will open its 2003–04 season with
Moliere’s classic comedy, Tartuffe. The season also will feature
American and Greek drama, a contemporary play, a Shakespeare
comedy, a dance concert from USC Dance, and a student theatre
showcase.
“I think this is our biggest season ever,” said Jim O’Connor,
chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance. “We’ll range from
one of the world’s greatest comedies ever, through Greek tragedy
and a classic 20th-century American masterpiece to a challenging contemporary piece that pushes at the boundaries of what
theatre can be. And, as always, a play of Shakespeare’s, this year
directed by an associate artistic director of the Utah Shakespearean Festival.”
Curtain times for the productions are 8
p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 3 p.m. on
Sunday. Tickets are $14 for the general public;
$12 for USC faculty and staff, senior citizens
(age 60+), and the military; and $10 for
students. Group tickets for 10 or more people
are available.
Season tickets are $62 for the public; $50
for senior citizens (age 60+), military, and
USC faculty and staff; and $36 for students.
For ticket information, call 7-2551. For information on dance concerts, call 7-5636. For
other information, call 7-9353.
The Theatre South Carolina schedule
includes:
■ Tartuffe, by Moliere (translation by Richard
Wilbur), Sept. 26–Oct. 5, Drayton Hall,
directed by O’Connor. Considered one of the
greatest comedies of all time, the play tells the
story of a family caught in the clutches of a
religious hypocrite who bamboozles his
way to nearly total control of the household, abusing the trust his host places in
him. The cast features Patrick Mullins as
Mme. Pernelle; Richard Jennings, Orgon;
Pam Vogel, Elmire; Matt Purdy, Damin;
Vaughn Shearer, Mariane; Fábio Pires,
Valère; Zach Hanks, Clèante; Steve Fenley, Tartuffe; Mary Floyd, Dorin; John
Dailey, M. Loyal; and Terry Donovan
Smith, an officer. The parts of Flipote
and Laurant will be announced later.
Tickets will be available at the box office
beginning Sept. 19.
■ The Glass Menagerie, by Tennessee
Williams, Oct. 24–Nov. 2, Longstreet
Theater, directed by Jerry Winters, USC
MFA candidate. Written by the South’s
greatest playwright, the play is about a
wandering son who is haunted by the
sister and mother he had to leave behind.
Tickets will be available at the box office
beginning Oct. 17. The cast includes
Sarah Barker as Amanda Wingfield; Kay
Allmand, Laura Wingfield; Brian Schilb,
Tom Wingfield; and Steve Fenley, Jim
O’Connor.
■ Polaroid Stories, by Naomi Lizuka,
Nov. 14–23, Longstreet Theatre, directed
by Craig Miller, USC MFA candidate.
Lizuka’s award-winning play is edgy,
new theatre—part documentary of life on
the streets, part Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
The play is lyric and profane, a mixture
of reality and dreamland, truth and lies,
a crude and beautiful piece that connects
now with forever, the chaotic with the
oldest of forms. Tickets will be available
at the box office beginning Nov. 7. The
cast includes Zach Hanks as D (Dionysus);
Pam Vogel, Eurydice; Sarah Thomas, Persephone (also Semele); Fábio Pires, Orphesus
(also Tereus); Jillian Owens, Philomel; E.G.
Heard, Skinheadgirl (aka Neon girl); Patrick
Kelly, Narcissus; Antionette Wright, Echo;
Matt Purdy, Skinheadboy (aka Oklahoma
boy/Speedracer); and Marcus Thomas, G (aka

■ Trojan Women, by Euripides, Feb. 20–29,
Drayton Hall, directed by guest artist Paul
Mullins. “In death there is nothing. In life
there is hope.” In Trojan Women, Euripides
puts aside the heroism of war and shows us
war’s real ending: the death of children, the
enslavement of women, and the engulfment of
a society in flames. Tickets will be available at
the box office beginning Feb. 13.
■ Love’s Labour’s Lost, by William Shakespeare, April 16–25,
Drayton Hall, directed by guest artist J.R. Sullivan. Shakespeare’s play is a frothy, bittersweet comedy about love and
romance in which four well-intentioned but misguided young
men discover the impossibility of denying the power of true love.
Tickets will be available at the box office beginning April 11.
The USC Dance schedule includes:
■ Dance concert, March 18–20, Drayton Hall, Susan E.
Anderson, a professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance,

will present an evening of variety, color, sound, and movement.
The Theatre South Carolina Student Showcase schedule will
include:
■ Gut Girls, by Sarah Daniels, 8 p.m. Oct. 8–10, Benson Theater. Victorian notions of femininity, the cost and subsequent
value of self-worth, and self-determination are examined as
upper- and lower-class English women come together in Gut
Girls and struggle to define their roles in society. The title characters are five unmarried women working up to their ankles in
blood in the slaughterhouses of London. When they lose their
jobs in the gutting shed, their world changes, becoming cleaner
and more feminine, but also more restrictive and oppressive.
Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door.

Faculty and staff make the most of the
Dog
o days of summer
Spot, above, owned by Tammy E. Whaley, director
of university communications at USC Spartanburg,
found shade behind these sunglasses all summer.
Faculty and staff members took to the pool, the
Alps, and even space for cool vacations.
Keith McGraw, Distance Education and Instructional
Support, said reading The Far Side while he was
growing up inspired his son, Jesse, to take this shot
of a dump truck in Colorado. Keith and Jesse took a
two-week, 6,800-mile road trip in July with no goal
or agenda. They stopped in Nashville, St. Louis,
Kansas, and Colorado and at the Grand Canyon.
Jan Smoak, left, Fellowships and Scholar Programs, and her husband,
Scott, right, traveled to Plains, Ga., to sit in on former President Jimmy
Carter’s Sunday school class at Maranatha Baptist Church. They also
met former first lady Rosalynn Carter.
Pamela D. Robinson, director of the Pro Bono Program in the
School of Law, saw Marjorie Glacier and fished for salmon in the
icy waters of Glacier Bay, Alaska, in early August.
Richard Clodfelter, retailing, hiked up a mountain
to Mary’s Bridge for this view of Neuschwanstein
Castle in Germany. “Mad King” Ludwig built the
fairy-tale castle, which served as a model for
Disney’s Fantasyland castle.

Laury Christie, a professor of voice in the School of Music,
spent her vacation hiking in the northern Austrian Alps in the
State of Tyrol. She and friends Norbert, 7, and Sunhild, 9,
discovered this Alpine meadow with Tyrol’s famous Haflinger
horses at approximately 6,700 feet.
