Mike Daniel and Norma Russell are giving the state a perfect demonstration of this ageless natural phenomenon. Even the most demanding political zoologists must be pleased. Whenever these beasts meet on a cam paign trail, the underdog tries to turn the encounter into mortal combat, while the frontrunner tries to give no sign that any encounter is even taking place. It is strenuous sport on both sides, but Daniel and Mrs. Russell are playing their respective parts with keenness and dedication as their battle for the lieutenant governorship heads into its final week. Perhaps their best performances were during last week's televised joint appearance before USC's Clariosophic Literary Society. For Mrs. Russell, it was a time for righteous indignation, insult, condemnation and all the other heavy artillery in a comefrom-behind political campaign. She warned that Mike Daniel took money from the big utilities while he was pretending he didn't. She called him the tool of the nuclear lobbyists and big special interests.

Krents spent last week in South Carolina helping USC and public school officials lay the groundwork for the modpl nrncram U.S. Department of Education statistics show that on a national basis, one of every eight handicapped children receive no education and more than half are receiving a substandard education, Krents said. Despite federal and state regulations requiring schools to provide "reasonable accommodations" to educate disabled students, Krents said most school systems throughout the country are financially unable to provide all or even some of the basic services handicapped students need. South Carolina's program, he added, will be extended to other states and other volunteer efforts if it proves successful. orm' in debate as a statewide puoiic television audience looked on, Mrs. Russell put Daniel on the wrong side of every important question since Reconstruction; she bluntly questioned his courage, intellect and integrity. "I've been told I'm hard to ignore," she reflected demurely the next day. Too true. In any decent barroom she'd have been punched or shot. But Mike Daniel is a frontrunner, and frontrunners are a special breed. With only the smallest of lapses, Daniel treated the purported "debate" as if it were a Mike Daniel news conference. If his views and record were misrepresented, he hardly mentioned it. If his character was impugned, he didn't seem to notice. He confined himself strictly to answering the questions from the audience. "Mike thinks the voters want to discuss the issues," Daniel campaign manager Judie Miller explained later. That's a halftruth, of course. Courage, intellect and integrity are about as big as issues get, even if they don't happen to begin with an "E". Mrs. Russell has been throwing the ball hard. Daniel has resolutely refused to throw it back.
