Guberrn By JOSE DUVALL Gamecock Staff Writer The platforms of three Democratic gubernatorial candidates were given Wednesday at a # - - iorum sponsored Dy the USC Young Democrats. The fourth candidate, Bryan Dorn, did not attend. Riley Democratic candidate for governor Richard Riley said he favors a statement made by Pearl S.

The powerful and the wealthy can look after themselves, but the underdogs need championing, he said. "This civilization that you and I have the good fortune of living in," Riley said, "some day will be measured by what we've done to our weaker members: the retarded, the handicapped, the disabled in many ways, the confused, the people who might be over in the Department of Corrections-people who are I ..Ul? !-?- " waving uuuuic geuiug into me normal part of life."

Calling public education a "chief function of the state government," Riley said he deplored South Carolina's nationwide ranking in education, and said if South Carolina grows under good leadership, education will follow suit. "We can take state government and turn that growth into quality education," he said. "We should turn it into being not 50th, not 49th, but first." Harvey Upgrading education, reducing and improving state government and increasing minority employment are Lieutenant Governor Brantley Harvey's priorities if elected governor. Education is the mntnr of Harvey, said his daughter, Irlene Harvey, who spoke on his behalf. She said her father is devoted to serving South Carolinians and has had an excellent record in pushing for better education and high standards of living. "He has pledged to make education the number one priority in the state and to turn the interest to primary education and to basic life-coping skills that we've heard so much about recently," she said. CONCERNING the streamlininc* - -o of government, Harvey's daughter said, "We should all realize that the government can't solve all the problems of the state, so we have to D?cC i lA 1 - 1 ngnt Open" 11 a.m. for LunchJ I Disco open at 4:3fr* ! 12 Midnight j ment Dinner ?erved j "i2 nigjrfly 6-12 !

"I think that people now want to see government grow smaller instead of larger," she added. The lieutenant governor is in favor of improving employment opportunities for minorities, according to his daughter. "My father has also pledged in his term as governor to be a leader in affirmative action; to make sure that iiiuiuriues in aoum Carolina nave a better chance for employment." I Turnipseed State senator Tom Turnipseed criticized the autocracy of S. C. state government, the lack of popular elections of many important state officers, and called for a. constitutional convention.
