J* Former Gamecock editor dies j UI U1IICC1 By Stephen Riddell Edltorin-Chtef Former Gamecock entertainment 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 pain in his right knee that was 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 sleening. the first time he would be suspended for three days without pay, and the second time he would be terminated. "If we're considered inefficient, maybe we should get tougher," he said. Handicappec J lli deadline from page 4 because he's obviously never beei in a wheelchair."

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.

MLehman was a special friend to the Gamecock and to most people he came in contact with," Gamecock 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 todav 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 optimise by suggesting that he would be back to take control of the entprtainmpnt HpcIt anH tn pnmll 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 they meet and form relationships with," Platte said. The gifts Lehman Stiles possessed were rich and we at the Gamecock feel fortunate that he has shared them with us. jmrnammmmmaaammmmmmmmmwmmmmmmqm Storage & R< Opening for weekend clerk I p. rn. -7 a. rn.
