UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2012 VOL. 110, NO. 58 ● SINCE 1908 Sanito named paper’s next editor-in-chief

Web presence, training program at core of new leader’s focus

Thad Moore [email protected]

Kristyn Sanito will serve as The Daily Gamecock’s editor-in-chief in the spring, the newspaper’s board of publications announced Friday. Sanito , a fourth-year English student who currently works as the managing editor, will take the role from Colin Campbell , who will leave the paper in December after two semesters as editor-in-chief. She has named Sydney Patterson , a third-year broadcast journalism student, her managing editor. Under Campbell’s tenure, the newspaper has risen to No. 14 in the Princeton Review’s ranking of college newspapers, and Sanito said she wants to keep that momentum going, as the paper pursues its goals of keeping students informed and serving as a watchdog on the university’s Matt DeMarco / THE DAILY GAMECOCK SANITO administration. USC students, faculty and community members — 3,655 in all — give blood last week, winning the annual blood drive. “The paper has risen to legitimate standing as a news source for both the city and the state, and it’s the best news source for USC,” Sanito said.

It was chilly Sunday afternoon, and Adam King was shirtless. He’d just run 5 kilometers, and he was splattered with paint. He only wished he’d been covered more. “I hope my coach sees it,” King said of the paint. The fi rst-year advertising student, who runs on USC’s track team , had just been edged out by Justin Jones , a student in USC’s School of Law, who won by two seconds. King fi nished in 17:09, nearly a minute and a half Photos by Andrew Askins / THE DAILY GAMECOCK before the third-fastest runner.
