Leatherman, a second-term state senator from Florence County, would like to bring his business principles of efficiency and accountability to tackle a number of state issues. The challenge of creating jobs must be addressed for South Carolinians, combating crimc and meeting the elderly's health care needs, he said. Leatherman's interest in health care for the elderly was sparked, in part, by his work investigating The Gamecock The GAMECOCK is the student newspaper of the University of South Carolina and is publiahed three times a week on Mondavs, Wednesdays and Fridays during the fall and spring semesters and weekly on Wednesday* during both summer sessions, with the exception of university holidays and examination periods.

The next governor should cultivate these opportunities to help all citizens, Lader said. "I look to a state still characterized by tradition and manners where there exists greater employment and cultural opportunities in a relatively unspoiled environment," Lader said during a telephone interview. Lader, the 39-year-old president of NVinthrop College, said that he hopes to guide the state in this direction if elected. ' ' I Ualio.m -.

Other candidates' campaigns contain "Madison Avenue spending," Eppes said in an interview. Instead of spending so much on campaigns, the money could go to something useful, such as buying kidney machines for hospitals, he said. Eppes said he is trying not to spend more than he would make as governor, which is $80,000. Eppes said he has been traveling through the state trying to make his campaign a personal one. "I've been in all the coun lies, auu i ve seen inings tnat need to be done," he said.
