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.

TO THE EDITOR
We understand that man)
students at USC do no!
respond favorably to th(
content of the Gamecock
While we don't know about
the other sections (our sor
doesn't send us the whol<
paper), we feel that the
articles we read in "Feature
Friday" are outstanding
examples of respectable
journalistic talent.
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.
