Page8B ?GAMECOCK ?August 25,1981 s Working For Gamecock Has Advantages Next Wednesday (Aug. 26) on the Russell House third floor, the Gamecock will hold its first meeting for the 1981-82 school year in room 321, hoping for a massive turnout to work on the student newspaper. The advantages for any student working on the paper are many. We always hear countless criticisms of the Gamecock from students but very few come to the office to work, just visit with their complaints or cimtVlxr nnf fhoir foolinrtc rlnurn nn UA**1 jyA J put tAAV&i 1W111A0O VIVYT H VII paper for a letter to the editor. There are probably hundreds of reasons why this campus doesn't support the paper but we've yet to see any good ones. If the people who attend classes don't care to read the paper, that's their choice. But if they have a way of making it better, being silent or apathetic in this situation doesn't help anyone. THIS YEAR, THE Gamecock will publish Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the first quad-weekly publication in the paper's 73-year history. For once, students will be afforded the luxury of getting the npws of ITSf! nn-tn date and more often starting this fall It's something to be excited about because it gives many addition;?] students a chance to write, report, edit, illustrate, photograph, iav oat and more effectively conv.nunicate news about Carolina throughout the campus in USC's best form of communication. We'll be looking throughout the different areas of study for help. What better way to get accurate information about certain fields of study than through those who are studying it.

Those in psychology know what would be important and informative to other psych students. For journalism majors, the Gamecock should be a prerequisite. IT HAS OFTEN been said that there are two professions that need no prior experience: being a politician or a journalist. While we are proud of what we do, the preceding statement has a great deal of truth. Everybody knows how to write although some are better than others. We all have a curious nature which makes us the perfect species for asking questions and telling others about us. Some of us who aren't journalists-still like to be the first ones to break news to others. There will, of course, be the budget battle that we face year after year, this Fall semester being the most difficult. Pay for reporters, photographers and assistant editors has always been subsidized through the student activity fee. Now that the fee has been increased $10 per student, there will be a whole new range of money available for places like student media, student government and the Russell House University Union. In order to attract people to work for the Gamecock, we'd like to be in the position of reimbursing them for their time. Staff members and editors have always been payed in the past and there's no reason for that to change. After all, there's just so much excitement in writing a story and having one's own name appear in the newspaper.

Staff members have been able to interview sports personalities like George Rogers, Zam Frederick, Hersclje} Walker, Vince Dooley, MuhuitapSd Ali, Joe Frazier, Nancy Lieberman and A1 McGuire while being able to attend football, basketball and baseball games from the press box.
