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.

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.

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
IM mm ti?
Hum uicic wiui uunuib 111 iwit. ne
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
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.

allocation of about $200,000 has
been tied up in the Joint Bone

Rinker said. "We expect the

will make a decision on the
allocation at that time."
"USC has taken the appropriaU
actions to insure that the owner;

once USC takes the appropriate
actions, USC will get control of th(
