V Former Gamecock editor dies of cancer j By Stephen Ridded Editor-in -Chief Former damprnrh n - tertainment editor Lehman Stiles died Thursday at his home at Benton Drive in Sumter, after a long battle with cancer. He was 20 years old. The son of Lt. Col. and Mrs. Edward G. Stiles, he came to USC in the spring of 1978 after briefly attending Mars Hill College in North Carolina. At USC, Stiles distinguished himself as both a fine journalist and a scholar. He was named to the President's Honor Roll at USC in 1978 and was twice named to the Dean's List. He was a member of the USC Honors Program and in 1979 received the Francis W. Bradley Award for excellence in English at Carolina. HIS BATTLE WITH cancer began in August 1979. He had a nain in hie rioht Irnoo that uiac * a^aiv itliVV VliUb f T MO diagnosed as bone cancer in October 1979 and had to have his right leg amputated at Portsmouth Naval Hospital in Virginia in November. He then began chemotherapy treatment and was responding well. He got back on his feet through the use of an artificial leg and started to fight to make it back to school at USC. But during a chemotherapy treatment in February 1980, both of his lungs collapsed. Doctors found them full of cancerous tumors, but there was no way to operate. His condition worsened and on Thursday hemorrhaging of an artery brought his life to an end. Policeman criticizes department from page 3 which the security report said was needed, would be fine to have, the officer said, but "the man on the beat has to make policy decisions on each incident individually. Every situation is different." "The discipline should be stricter," the officer said. He wanted the policy on what would happen to an officer if found sleeping or breaking another rule should be written down. The officer recommended an example would be if an officer was found sleeping, the first time he would be suspended for three days without pay, and the second time he would be terminated. "If we're considered inef lie lent, maybe we snouia get tougher," he said. Handicapped deadline from page 4 because he's obviously never been in a wheelchair." Beverly Balentine, a graduate student in rehabilitation counseling at the College of Education, said, "I have found this campus fairly accessible. The problem comes up when you leave the campus. She said doors that open out present a major obstacle for those restricted to wheelchairs, hut commended the university on the design in some of the newly renovated apartments for handicapped. Lehman Stiles, former entertainment editor Born in Hampton, Va., on Sept. 6, 1959, Stiles moved with his family to Sumter when he was six weeks old. He attended Sumter High School where he was a member of the National Honor Society. He won the Outstanding Math Achievement Award in 1975 and in 1976 was awarded the National Collegiate Teachers Excellence Award for outstanding performance in writing. Stiles was Editor-in-Chief of the Signature Literary Magazine during the 1976-77 year at Sumter High School and was graduated from there with honors in 1977. He was a member of Quill and Scroll and was nominated to become a Carolina Scholar in 1977. STILES HAD THE admiration and respect of the entire Gamecock staff. MLehman was a special friend to the Gamecock and to most people he came in ...I4L n cunidti wiin, ijra mecocK colleague Mark Platte said. "In everything, he worked to be the very best that he could." Stiles began his well-known satire column, "The Left Hand" while writing for the newspaper. "The column stands today as one of the truly great pieces of writing in the Gamecocks' long history," Platte said. Stiles discussed coming back as the entertainment editor of the student newspaper in the fall right up until the time of his death. "He showed me his optimism by suggesting that he would be back 10 laKe control of the entertainment desk and to enroll in school at USC knowing fully that he probably would never be able to achieve those goals," Platte said. "Lehman continued to set goals through it all," his mother said. "He was a fine young man." "If there is one lesson to be learned through death, it is that some of those who die leave a lasting impression upon the people iiiv-jr uiwi UllU IV/1 111 1 ClUllUlldlll^d with," Platte said. The gifts Lehman Stiles possessed were rich and we at the Gamecock feel fortunate that he has shared them with us.

"The best offer USC has made to my knowledge was $85,000," ne said. "USC has been a free tenant for a long time and that has to change." "That is a very important piece of property for the university to own," USC's Dave Rinker said. Rinker said that USC has not made a strong effort to buy the property yet because they are awaiting an allocation from the Joint Bond Committee. "An allocation of about $200,000 has been tied up in the Joint Bond Committee for several months," Rinker said. "We expect the committee will be meeting in the next couple of weeks and that they will make a decision on the allocation at that time." "USC has taken the appropriate actions to insure that the owners cannot sell the property to anyone else," Rinker said. "Even if the family does not sell the property, once USC takes the appropriate actions, USC will get control of the lot."
