The only way to satisfy most of these people is to be fair in coverage and to provide campus with upto date news, entertainment and sports in an intelligent, thought-provoking way. STEVE RIDDELL has been more than fair in meeting this criteria and by working with USC administators and personnel in an honest, open fasion, we think he has earned the A i 1 i.

More than any other reason, it is this candid approach Hiddell has taken to ensure that the Gamecock's reputation as an objective news source would be built up over the nnnt r" ? 1 4 year, iu some exieni this has worked and the Gamecock has Riddell tc thank. We wish him the same success he has acheived at USC to continue into the future. \ |< A 4 1 J - ^ / } v^\, \ f JC*^; / Tindtliy? d? # Nu?va ^/j w \ / f;. 11 C(XKfKK)nT) V j i?-*tS?>9iP,U.

Should I worry? No, I don't believe in as you say "blow the hell out of anyone who decides they don't like their own government." Patriotic causes such as in Afghanistan, are people fighting for their heritage, pride, country and freedom. The FDR is led by people only interested in the communist gain! The FDR is a poor substitute for the junta.
