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

editorship would be a full-year's
term rather than the past policy of
one-semester tenure. 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.

no action will be taken by that body
unless Carlen and Holderman can
not reach a decision, he said.
Gray said the university plans on
honoring Carlen's contract to the

Several additions to past
Gamecock style and substance are
desired by Lundgren. 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."

But a solution probably will not

that he would like to see reporters

"I don't want reporters who are

"but, I feel a flat $5.00 rate per

discourage the writing of unnecessarily

Lundgren said he thinks if the
new editorial staff is as enthusiastic
as he is, the paper could
be very competitive with other
university publications. The layout
