The Gamecock Founded 1908 _________ Friday Volume 79, No, 83 University of South Carolina May 1, 1987 * Magazine classes to expand By AMY GARNER News reporler A former comic book writer has plans for USC College of Journalism. Don McKinney, McCall's managing editor fro 1969 to 1986, is working on two new magazi editing classes that will be offered this fall. McKinney wrote comic books for three yea before becoming an editor with the Saturday Eve ing Post, later working for the New York I)a News before taking the position with McCafl's. He came to USC this past fall. The idea behind the new magazine classes is to i pose students to the skills they need to becot ?| magazine editors, he said. ^ These classes, Journalism 549X and 559X, art step toward establishing a magazine track, sj Joseph Shoquist, dean of the College Journalism.

While at McCall's, McKinney and his staff de\ ed a system of hiring recent college graduates a training them in editing. A McKinney said lie wants to provide this kind ^ training in an academic setting. "Having worked with an awful lot of young p< pie over the years, I saw no reason why this could be done with students," he said. The classes are designed to train students to w< on trade publications, corporate publications i other small magazines, instead of the large si magazines like McCall's. However, McNeely said the program would thorough enough to train students to work on magazines, while practical enough so students < an into the Irarle nnHlir-nt ionv: w She said the job market for business and tr publications is much better than for la magazines. McKinney said the first semester class will b basic training course in what an editor does. The cond semester will turn the class into a work editorial staff. "I always thought it would be nice to teac magazine editing class where they could functioi an editing staff," McKinney said. Together with an existing publications de: class, the editing class will create a magazine b;i 9 on a city of Columbia theme. McKinney said he hopes to see the first maga; in print next April. The College of Journalism once had a maga; track, but discontinued it because practial, hai on experience was not provided, Shoquist said. As a result, students interested in magazi could take two magazine writing courses, but ha< get practical experience by taking the set semester news-editorial courses, which produce Carolina Reporter newspaper.

We* 5 9 I senate t for uppi By TODD IIINKS t Assistant news editor The Student Senate revived an t old issue ? where students < should sit at football games ? i and this time thev passed a i resolution directly opposing the i administration. Sen. E. J. Cousar of the Senate i Athletic Committee presented a < resolution to gain the Senate's : I support against moving the students from the upper deck of Williams-Brice stadium. The resolution also included various recommendations, which give the Athletic Committee power to select the priority of seating for It nc n,uuu student scats in tnc stadium. The administration was concerned this past semester that the ^ stadium's cast dcck was unable to (support the weight when students jumped up and down to sway the deck. USC President James Holdcrman and the administration established regulations during the final football game, includ' ig placing security guards and state Highway Patrol troopers in the upper deck to con| trol the fans and stop the sway. Holdernian had a number of architects re-examine the stadium's support and he recomI mended measures to keep students from getting tickets in I the upper level. Cousar said he is trying to get the students the best scats he can because the students should have priority. Cousar cited the University of North Carolina, Clemson and North Carolina State as I universities that give students ** priority seating.

Charlie Terrcni. "What's really mportant about this resolution is hat it sends a strong message [hat students care." Cousar said the time element may be a problem, and he said he doesn't exoect anv chances in seating until after the first Senate meeting next fall. Sen. Steve McElveen, Finance Committee chairman, presented a bill for financial regulation guidelines for organizations during allocation of student activity fees. The bill was passed and will be added to the student codes. The bill, however, was not uncontested. Some senators said it would be binding to everyone. Sen. D. L. Oldham said, "I think it wou'd be unwise to destroy any flexibility." Two of the more heavily contested issues in the bill were about only allowing two banquets per year, funding them at no more than 50 percent from activity fees, and a suggestion to provide 21 rather than 10 cents per mile for gas money for student organization travel. McElveen turned down all proposed amendments to his bill. Sen. Stanley Davis took the floor and began a debate, which soon became a fillibuster. Senators began harassing Davis from their seats and Hunter had to rap her gavel three times to resume order. Senators then walked out on Davis and the meeting was adjourned due to lack of a quorum for the last meeting of the year. idershin d Graham, who endorsed the reduction talks. to lower the number of nuclear i're having trouble doing that, and an," he said. i president and those in authority ding Mr. Gorbachev, for trying to ) this thing because it's gotten out 's speech, George Beverly Shea, i with Graham for years, sang getting the lawmakers to join id verse and bringing tears to the islators. tei -A ''"Y-,' j NICK LF.ONCA VAl.l.O/Tht Gamecock ndshield had been broken out by gins tonight See page 3
