Dunne vr O my English 101 course, the Revision and Editing test was administered to me. My Jeacher informed me that in order to successfully complete English 101, it was mandatory to pass the Revision and Editing test. This test is essential for students to take and pass not only because it builds talent for writing and editing and illustrates common errors, but the test is needed to assure one's ability to write grammatically correct constructions later. The Revision and Editing test helps the student to build ins own talent and writing ability. The student is made to ponder over the questions and select the best answer. By doing this, he is better able to edit and revise his own work. The student can better detect his errors by Not nece to publis ! j ud5uuani To the Editor: In response to an article in the Monday edition of the Gamecock entitled "Professor Murdered," a specific point of interest arose that we feel needs to be addressed. Last fall another student and I visited the Gamecock office to discuss a similar article about which we asked 4.1 * me relevance of describing that an assailant was male and BLACK. The staff members present could offer no justification and said that they would stop the practice. In the article "Professor Murdered," the same question has arisen. The assailant was described by name and the fact that he is BLACK. Again we fail to see tlu- relevance in this sort of e House mference... NlUB U CHOOSE f f>l0 MMty ?

Not only /-iaap uuvo nit ivcvioivii aiiu Editing test build skill and talent, but the test also helps the student become aware of common errors made in writing. WHEN WRITING a paper, a student may overlook some simple errors. The Revision and Editing test illustrates these errors. The student can look at the test objectively and detect errors that he could have made. It makes the student think about what is being said in the material and gives him ideas about his own work. The Revision and Editing test demonstrates grammatical and syntactical errors but more importantly, it demonstrates the need for proficiency in writing before one goes into "the outside world." No matter what the student does after college, writing is an important tool that can make his own success or lead to his failure. The power of the pen can be used in any line of business /Odui y h art 's race journalism. If the Gamecock chooses to use the race of an individual in their reoortino -i o? they should do it in all cases, not only in cases where the accused or the assailant is BLACK. This is another indication of the biased journalism that prevails in this paper and we as Blacks scream that you stop it immediately. We realize that the individual'? ri*na ?e pn1n..nn? :c uvv 10 icirvolil 11 the person is considered dangerous and is still at large. This was not the case in the article "Professor Murdered."
