Board of Publications names Gamecock editor
by Jonathan Dunagin
Staff Writer
Next semester’s editor in chief
for The Gamecock has been chosen
by the USC Board of Student
Publications and Communications.
Kenley O’Higgins Young, a
journalism junior, will begin his term
in January.
“I’m very excited about having
an opportunity such as this,” Yoiing
said. “I hope to continue producing
a quality publication for the students,
faculty and staff of USC.”
His plans for next semester include
improving the paper’s quality of
articles and working more closely
with the College of Journalism and
Mass Communications.
Young said that as editor, he hopes
to maintain a relaxed, inviting
newsroom atmosphere and attract
more new writers from the journalism
school.
He also said he wants to motivate
his staff to want to win the Associated
Collegiate Press Pacemaker award
that will be given in the fall.
“I want to continue the progress
that the newspaper has made in the
past year,” Young sai(l. “I want to
ensure we continue on the path toward
the Pacemaker award.”
The Pacemaker winner is selected
based on submissions of three issues
from the fall 1999 semester and three
from the spring 2000 semester.
As editor, Young follows history
political science senior Sara
Ladenheim, who held the post for
both 1999 semesters.
“Under Sara, The Gamecock has
improved by leaps and bounds,” Young
said. “Aesthetically, the paper looks
better than it ever has. She’s left me
with a strong foundation, and her
talent and personality will be missed.”
Ladenheim, who will be graduated
in May, said she plans to remain active
with The Gamecock, but won’t hold
an editorial position.
“I am so proud of Kenley,” she
said. “He has worked so hard as
managing editor, and I am completely
confident in his abilities and talent.
“I look forward to actually being
able to read the paper as a normal
student next semester and see his
progression,” he said.
Staff members say they’re excited
about Young’s appointment.
“I have complete confidence in
Kenley’s ability to continue in the
great tradition of editors that have
graced the top of the masthead,” said
news editor Kevin Langston, a
journalism junior.
Assistant features editor Ann Marie
Miani, a journalism sophomore, said,
“The staff completely supports Kenley
as editor. We’ll miss Sara, but I know
Kenley will do a good job too.”
Associate news editor Clayton
Kale, a history-journalism sophomore,
agreed.
“I’ve worked under Kenley for
three semesters now, and I have no
doubt that he’ll make a fine editor
in chief,” he said.
Young, a Georgetown native, is
also the frontman in the band The
Speakeasies. Besides playing rhythm
guitar, he also writes the majority of
the band’s music.
‘I hope to continue producing
a quality publication for the
students, faculty and staff'of
use.’

giving the most overrides.
The override process differs from
college to college.
For example, the English depart
ment asks only for the professor’s hand
written approval, but the business school
sets up a waiting list.
As of Tuesday, some classes in the
business school had as many as 80 stu
dents on waiting lists.
Some of the most sought-after class
es in the business school were Accounting
222, Marketing 352 and Management
Science 394.
Department of history Chairman
Patrick Maney said registering is always
difficult because his department has so
many popular majors and classes.
But not all students have experi
enced problems getting into classes. Some
have even said they’ve seen an im
provement from last semester to this se
mester.
“I had no problems because I got the
classes I wanted, but last year, getting
classes was like pulling teeth,” business
sophomore Lionel Thomas said.
