Why handle it in The Skiff, anyhow9" but finished with 11 firsts to FSU's It There are two answers: TCU had 112 yards rushing to the Seminoles' 91, but FSU won 1. The appearance in Fort Worth of one of the two men thi- passing yardage category, 135 most in the news at the moment would make us something to 50 Fauver was the leading rusher less than a responsible news medium, were we to ignore it with 97 yards Tensi hit 10 of 18 passes for 121 2. The Skiff, last Nov. 21, covered, rather amply, the ap- yards and Howard hit 5 of 14 for pearance here of the late John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his 50 yards then vice-president, Lyndon Baines Johnson. If The Skiff is to remain even moderately consistent, it must cover, with equal fairness, the appearance of a significant figure in the opposition party There is another overriding consideration. If a newspaper that presumes to communicate with nearly 7,000 students, plus a considerable faculty and ad- ministration, must gaze only inward upon our own small af- fairs, then we feel a major segment of our education would be neglected. We, as students, faculty and administration, are caught up in the most vibrant and explosive period in history. And we on The Skiff are remorseful only that our lack of space and personnel prevents us from a full and complete cover- age of the world, national and state scenes To critics of our Goldwater coverage, as of last fall's Kennedy coverage, we can only say this: Members of Pi Beta Phi squeezed themselves in a car-stuffing event of Phi Kap Man Day.
