New Gaim By DON FOBES Asst. News Editor The newly appointed Gamecock editor-in-chief, Mark J. Lundgren, said he hopes to make the paper "so valuable and informative that ctnrtmfs will havA nn nnoH fr? road the local papers." Lundgren, a junior news editorial journalism major, will take over the editor's post beginning this summer, replacing John West. "For as long as I've been here (three years), The Gamecock has not been innovative; it's been getting stagnant," Lundgren said. "I want to kick some life into it. I want to provide the students with more service and value." Recently, it was proposed by the university's Board of Publications that fnr a nnP.voap trial hooic (lia MiMV *VA M VTIIV.

Also proposed were new computerized production machinery, the addition of a UPI wire machine and publication three times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. These innovations are written into The Camecock budget, but have yet to be approved. r nnti?o tl dl/l From pa| the dispute, said Gray.

Page two of every issue will consist of a wire page with news briefs from around the world, state and area. Also, an exchange news bureau between USC and branch campuses will be "mutually beneficial," according to Lundgren. Other proposed changes by the new editor are: monthly book reviews; a features page with crosswords, word games and horoscopes; a weekly-events column on Friday with tv columns and listings and an in-depth story every Wednesday that "will not be limited to news, it might be sports or entertainment," Lundgren said. The shift in the chief editor's post to a 12-month job is necessary, Lundgren said. "The editor's position almost has to be a 12month one under the new experimental format. I hope to develop a sense of unity and enthusiasm on the staff, and I feel the year-long concept will provide an important factor ? continuity." Qt off art/1 rOnAftoi.
