Gamcc TO THE EDITOR Every time we look at the editorial page in the Gamecock, we read all these nasty letters about the editorial content. Well, we think the editorials are great. They are well written, and the writer, usually Editorial Page Editor Lezlie WqIIqpo (cinpn Hin Tiutiuw viiv uv/pai mic of Mark Platte), obviously has talent, which she probably inherited from her father. We think that the editorial page is well done, and hope to see the quality maintained. LEZLIE'S MOM AND DAD TO THE EDITOR We would just like to say that despite all of the things people say about the Gamecock, we think that there is one section which is well done in every issue. The news section. It is obvious that the news editor knows what he is doing. The stories are rprpnt informative anH well written. We think that the News Editor, Tom Coyne, should continue to produce his section in its current outstanding form.

The Enter tainmeni Editor. John Van^hnn y " obviously has talem although he works only onc( a week. He should continu( to strive towr-d maintaining the high stanc u us he has se for his section for th< remainder of the season. JOHN'S MOM AND DAI TO THE EDITOR Despite the poor coverage, the poor news coverage and the numerous lawsuits the copy nas remained crisp and ciean. The key to a good paper is a good copydesk and the copydesk has kept the Gamecock from being a trashy rag. I would like to compliment the fine work being done by the copydesk, especially by Copydesk Chief Beth Sundrla.
