Faced with the problem of prosecuting 30 of h neighbors, Magistrate Sam Chapman has chosen to igno the embarrassing incident until recently. After blai leaders from around the state made themselves hear Chapman was forced to set the preliminary hearing for Ja 26, nine months after the May 3 riot. In many ways the incident is similar to the Emmett T murder of 1955. Hopefully it will not end the same way. Ti msurders of Emmett Till were aauitted by an all-white jur even though several black witnesses identifiled ther Emmett Till, a 14-year-old black from Chicago, whistled a white woman on a street of a Mississippi town. He was ju visiting relatives and was not used to local customs. Wh< he was dragged from his bed, beaten and thrown into ti river, he learned. The Lamar defendants may well have the same a vantage. They may be tried by a jury who are not ful convinced that the defendants' crime is really illegal. Whi Mississippi on the whole found the killing justified, just as large number of white South Carolinians find HEW's i tegration plans intolerable. When the trial finally does get underway, the jury will I faced with a social Issue as well as a decision of guilt< innocence. Since the case has already received mui national attention, on the wire services and in Esqui Magazine, many people will be watching to see if Sou Carolina will try to use her courts to legislate again Federal Law or choose to administer justice fairly to bo blacks and whites.

"To oppose a re tyrant is the will of God," was his motto. Let him admit that Christian, and other traditions, have been tyrannical. Let Dan Trotter remember that humanism, Christian or otherwise, was based on Greek and Roman writings, and Christian humanism was furthered by the fictions of Dante Alighieri and John Milton. Finally, it is vital that no one deny Jesus his radicalism. Love was his message; and sympathy was a part of it -- "Even as you do this to the least of these...." Remember he refused to judge a woman caught in direct violation of the law to help people. The only time he was known to get angry was when the church (synagogue -- he was Jewish after all) was turned into a profit-making en terprise by entrepeneurs. I won't tell Dan Trotter to "judge not" -- but he should get his I Christianity straight, and in the proper "radiclib" context. Perhaps he is too concerned wit1h iS the integrity of his traditions, anc re not with people. :kI'TEVE SKEL,TON n.

We consider it a pleasure, not a duty. to commend Mr. John Roche ia South Carolina guard) not only upon his sterling play in the losing effort, but also upon his truly amazing vocabulary. His obvious familiarity with certain portions of the English language, coupled with an outstanding oratorical ability, allowed Mr. Roche, during the last few seconds of the game, to completely enthrall the first 15 rows of spectators in Carmichael Auditorium with his explicit comments pertaining to the equine ancestry and sex'ual* . m ores of certain of the North Carolina players.

It would be too late to replenish the vanished and vanishing species. It would be too late to reclaim de-forested, strip mined land. Too late to restore the purity of the waters. Too late to re establish the balance of nature, and all species will be doomed. Obviously man cannot stop where he is. He will continue to demand food, clothing, shelter. He will continue to crave automobiles, high rise buildings and space craft. He will continue to destroy a thing to which he has no right. He will continue to destroy a thing which is not his, a thing which can do very well without him, but a thing that he cannot survive t message come up and see us anytime. It will doubtless be another good laugh. GEE4 (I 1'ARL NETHEiRCUTT, .li. r 1. I r Letters policy The edior reserves the right to edit letters for style. good taste. and libel laws.

On the other hand, his continued presence only jeopardlies the whole system. In fairness to the other creatures. we must do away with ourselves, not totally, but drastically, In fact, if 99.9 per cent of the human race were eliminated, the situation would be near perfect. There would still be 3,0,000 humans. If there were a simple way of getting rid of two billion, 97 million humans, the situation, though unpleasant, to put it mildly, would be in good shape. There seem to be two alter natives. The first is the theory that a war will decimate us and alleviate our problems. Unfortunately, the type of war humanity has evolved to will of necessity take much nature with us. The second solution is the more likely and workable of the two. It is also a theory. It states that a famine and plague will end all our problems by decimation. Un pleasant, but workable when considering the necessity of preserving all other species. Starvation. If there is any honor in our race, which is doubtful, then we will do something to help the other species before it is too late for all of us. If God ever made a mistake, He made it when he created man. It sort of destroys one's belief or laith in God when one considers what a mess He made when He put man in charge of all the earth. It puts to a severe test the om niscience and wisdom of the divinity. Upon consideration that man is on the brink of destroying the creatures that God has put on earth. God comes off as pretty much of a guy lacking foresight. HCither that or as somebody without the guts to stand up for things that can't stand up for themselves. I mean, if you were god, and man was wiping out all these poor dumb animals, wouldn't you do something about it if you were all powerful? You bet you would. But then there arises another question.
