"I refuse to go along with the
idea that the Board of Trustees
would only deal with a 'yes' man.
The possibility exists that no
student body proesident has ever
stood up to the Board of Trustees in
the past," Magner said.
He added, "I welcome criticism
from all areas of the Carolina
Community because the only way
to establish a meaningful dialogue

Anny be so darminant that People

views.
It would be preat: for readers to
remember the opinions. But It is
touch more importanit for them to
emphasize the news.
The Gamecock, then, can be
criticized as too negative
editorially and not aggressive and
interesting enough from a neys
standpoint.
On the other hand, it can be
praised for editorial courage, for
pinpointing numerous problems
ahd for seeking the truth, no
matter how unpopular it is.
The job of the newspaper is a
tough one. There is much room for
failure. In his letter, President
Knobel has called attention to
several widely held grivenaces and
prd'blems.
Some are excusable, some not,
but all need solving. And pointing
them out and recognizing them is
the first step toward solving them.
