(AP) - The political animals known as the
frontrunner and the underdog have evolved
a mating game as elaborate and amusing as
the courtship ritual of any other species on
the planet.
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. That's how frontrunners and unJ
