I thought a that to be a good journalist, you needed si to find out all the facts on a subject you could before you print an article. tl In this article, Mr. Horgan decides <r that he is the expert when it comes to vi landscaping, even though he never si checked out any of the facts that he put tl in his article. As Mr. Horgan puts it, the ti "Compost Casserole" contains only com posed leaves and chipped-up tree limbs, p It does not contain any "Farm Animal h Feces." If he would have called and tried fe to check his facts, he would have been told what was being used and why. I feel that our landscape crews should be commended for their efforts to recycle these materials. With using these V materials, the University has saved mon- q ey two ways. First, we did not have to pay the high dumping fee for disposing of organic material, and second, we did te not have to purchase other types of mulch. 0f It is irresponsible for the Gamecock tl How i' * ?*A*. * V: *\ / / K Vk /&a iSfe \ M /%# Msm:0 i M?
