The Gamecock has the
unenviable task of trying to
please 26,000 students and a
countless number of administrators,
faculty, staff
and alumni. 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

Afghanistan, are people fighting for their
