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

Shoquist said.
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

magazines, while practical enough so students <

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

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

As a result, students interested in magazi
could take two magazine writing courses, but ha<
get practical experience by taking the set

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.

Most senators were in favor of
he resolution, including Sen.
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.
