He was captain or chief of police at that time. .,One hundred or so whites' had gathered to persuade a blatk man that he should not move to their block. It was more than just a quiet, friendly, rational argument. Blacks living a few blocks away got the word and proceeded to the scene. When Mr. Rizzo arrived, the two1 groups were shouting at each other and the space between them was narrowing by the second. Mr. Rizzo ordered both crowds off the street within ten minutes and deployed his troops between the two. He then told his men that if anyone wanted to fight about it, to start arresting - cracking heads if necessary. Everyone knew, white and black alike, that Frank Rizzo meant business and the street cleared. The black family moved in without further interference. It has been my experience, having lived in Philly a couple of years, having lived but 70 miles away for many more years, and having visited there often, that Frank Rizzo is a great policeman. Not a "white" policeman, ' "black" policeman, or even an Italian policeman, but a great policeman. He's a tough man. He's 56 years old but managed to catch a 20 year-old purse-snatcher after a two block chase last New Year's Eve. But being tough, being a "law U.S.C.

BLOSCHOCK Dietzel comment about tickets may alienate MR. FARRELL: Last Friday night on television in answer to a question of how one could procure a ticket on the 45 yard line right before game time. Coach Paul Dietzel stated that the ticket must have been one that was not used by the opposing school or was a USC student ticket that was not picked up. I have always been under the presumption that the choicest student Vckets would be given out to the ear)iest comers and those which were left over, usually in the end zone, would be sold to the public. Also I have never known the opponent section to extend as far as the 45-yard line. I am not accusing Coach Dietzel or his associates of holding back the best tickets so that they may be sold, but if this is the policy, I have been wrong in my presumption. I take exception to this practice and I am quite sure I have the support of a majority of the student body.

(2 blocks off U.S.C Campus) never received a ticket closer to 'midfield than the 10-yard line (sec. 39). Being a graduate student, I was under the impression we were supposed to receive the better seats. I gladly would have taken that ticket on the 45-yard line for the Georgia game, which was sold to the public. If indeed it is the policy of our athletic department to hold back tickets rightfully belonging to students, so that they can be sold, I would say Coach Paul F. Dietzel is placing himself in a very precarious position, one in which if discovered, he would be alienating himself from the student body. This is something he can ill afford, since the main support for the Gamecocks, (spiritual not financial) comes from the students. R.T.W. MEYER 'Superstar' opera 'blasphemous, hypocritical' MR. FARRELL: Many USC studeno have been snowed under. The Bible makes it clear that Christians are to test things to see what theyeally are (I John 4:1), but probably the majority of Christians on this campus have enthusiastically welcomed "Jesus Christ Super star" as a way to reach their generation without pausing to realize that perhaps this rock opera is not a blessing, but rather blasphemy. Tim Rice, writer of the lyrics, when asked "What was the basic idea of Jesus, as seen through the eyes of Tim Rice and Andrew Lord Webber (co-author)" answered, "Well, it's bound to be the Jesus seen through our eyes, I suppose, but basically, the idea of the whole opera is to have Christ seen through the eyes of Judas, and Christ as a man, not as a God. And the fact that Christ himself is.Just as mixed up and unaware of exactly what he is, as Judas is." Rice portrays Him as a man by making Him the lover of Mary Magdalene, a prostitute. Mary Magdalene: "He's a man, he's just a man, And I've had so many men before, In very many ways, He's just one more." If this isn't enough, Judas, the main character, blames God for sin and evil: ". .. My God I am sick, I've been used, And you know all the time, God! I'll never know why you chose me for your crime, For your foul bloody crime, You have murdered me! You have murdered me." The portrayed Jesus in Gethsemane says to God: "Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die, You're far too keen on where and how and not so hot on why." How can any Christian stomach such a statement! It is because of Jesus' love that He died, and It is by His death and resurrection (which the opera fails to mention) that we can have eternal life. After what He has done for us, can we support such an opera which denies everything He said He was? I am very surprised that in telligent people have had their minds made up by a bunch of stupid,. hypocritical ."religious" leaders.who.support this opera. -LIIAN P. ROL-AMN
