Deduct From lying there Activities Fees TO FeTes DITOR: Knowing that there will never be enough seats in the Coliseum for all le, of the students, it would be better to deduct the rest of basketball red tickets from the activities fee for those who don't wish to wait in line or go to the basket ball gaies. For 1hose who so wish to go to the >Onl the basket ball gamnes. let them pay the umber one ftull activities fee and if they dlon't iey can be pick up tickets that will be th.eir and proved owni lault and no one else's.

Miscarriage Of Justice A convicted mass murderer has been freed and once again Justice has miscarried. The release of Lt. william L. Calley Jr. justifies the atrocities of war and points up the ambiguous attitude in this country over the treatment of murderers. The fact that My Lai was not the only atrocity com mitted and that Calley was probably acting under or lers makes little difference to his case. Calley has been :onvicted of killing at least 22 unresisting civilians, and :he fact that others have done the same does not erase ais guilt. Releasing Calley effectively says that murder is all -ight as long as the victims are not Americans. kmerican victims comprise an entirely different case, lowever. The death penalty has been reinstated in ;everal states and South Carolina is considering it now. The ambiguity exists because people have little regard for life other than their own. Americans, in fact, enjoy violence and murder in some circumstances. We love to read about gang wars, we thrill to the slaughter of war, and our favorite movies are violent ones. But when this violence comes close to home, when people feel that they may be the victims, then comes the clamor for the death penalty. But there is no difference between the war murder and the civilian murder. And the line drawn by the courts between the two simply justifies war atrocities. Glorifying Calley as a scapegoat and a hero is ridiculous. The fact that more men like him are lurking in the military ranks does not absolve Calley, it merely shows theoutrage ous condition of our military system. e Opinion "It is a newspaper's duty to print the news,and raise hell." --Wilbur F.
