BEEBE: A short while ago your paper wrote an especially frenetic editorial concerning a brother and sister who were faced with death should a firm decide to deny them access to a life-saving machine. You found this incredible situation all the proof you needed to declare America and our institutions and people to be hopelessly rotten and corrupt.

C artoon maligns VP Still This is referring to the cartoon in the Gamecock of April 7 on page 2. T1he cartoon was of Julianne Still as President of the Student Senate, and in my opinion it was very detrimental and in very poor taste. It showed the Vice President of the Student Body fumbling with lip stick and compact while someone in the audience hollers, "Madame President! May we please get started?" I feel that cartoons and editorials mocking our new student government have no good use whatsoever. Tihe student government has enough problems without being undermined by the newspaper. Please support our new govern ment and present the officers fairly and in good taste, for their sake and that of the student body. LYNN GALLOWAY FANl Y SPIKING y Phil k IA.
