I the most part backs Greeks. It
has been known to back nonGreeks,
but usually only when
the candidate is running
unopposed or when none of the
candidates for a particular
office is Greek. I am not opposed
to the IFC's stating who

but a candidate's being Greek
should not make him more
qualified than other candidates.
SOME GREEKS have
complained that The
Gamecock and the Garnet &
tsiacK nave not given them
sufficient coverage the last few
years. In part their complaints
are valid. I for one would like 1
to see a little more Greek
coverage in The Gamecock, i
though I would oppose such
coverage as was commonplace v
until the late sixties. In reading
old Gamecocks one would
believe that everyone on
campus was a Greek. The
coverage was extensive but ]
trivial, ranging from the i
comparison or Greek GPRs to ]
Greek bingo games. Old ]
Garnet & Blacks are no better.
Greeks seemed to dominate
the rest of the student body,
when actually then, as now, i
iney were a minority. i
