I will agree with the experts' opinions that a woman should be emotionally mature and stable before having a child.

But every girl knows that pregnancy can result irom sex, so enough maturity to use birth control should not be too much to ask. It was also interesting to read that the embryo "has the potential" to become a human life. To quibble over when an embryo or fetus becomes human life is to confuse the issue, though. The simple, bottom-line fact is that a human being is rather obviously the intended outcome. And after r?nn(>ontinn noithap noronf vvuvvpvivii, uviuivi pat viu has to do anything else to form this "human life." It is already there, with all the necessary ingredients. The old argument that it is the woman who must carry the child nine months and endure the "agony of childbirth" is not especially relevant. That she must carry it is true, has always been true and will doubtless ever be true. Anyone dissatisfied with the arrangement mieht do host to take the matter up with God. I mean, what can we do about it? In any event, nine months seems a small price for the seventy-odd years of life a child might have if it is Ellis stor To the Editor: After reading the front paf auacKing some people in the game, Oct. 12,1 realized that tl Obviously, it was a statement I his actions for malicious dan (bashing in the windshield of a a deadly weapon (hammer).

But there are illegal drugs, killings, rapes, thefts and all manner of illegal happenings. That people continue to perpetrate them does not mean that they should be legalized. For me to give a woman no choice at all would not be realistic. She has the choice to have sex or not. If she decides in favor of it, she has the choice of risking pregnancy or not. If she still becomes pregnant, she has the choice to keep the child or give it up for adoption. But you speak of a basic right ? the freedom of choice. Do we have the choice to kill, rape, assault, plunder, vandalize, slander, burglarize or embezzle? Choices in life are not guaranteed ? life isn't like that ? and the right to choose life or death for another is by no means one of our rights. I'm sure no woman or man would grant that right to another if the life in question were hers or his.

Sarcastically yours, j Robert Gordon Political Science Senior 1 Punishment now would be unjust To the Editor: If the courts find Phil Ellis guilty of the crime of which he has been accused, he should be punished by the law and by the USC Athletic Department. It is obvious from page 5 of the Oct. 20 issue of the Gamecock that a number of students are outraged that Phil Ellis has not been punished by the Athletic Department for the crime of which he has been accused. Evidently, a person accused of a crime is guilty until proven innocent. For the Athletic Department to punish Ellis now, with the possibility that he might be innocent, would be an extremely immoral and unjust act. I have never met Phil Ellis. He might have the disposition of a nun, or he could be another Charles Manson ? I don't know. But I do know that the punishment of a man who has not been declared guilty by the courts is wrong. It is no wonder that the students who exDressed thoir opinions on the editorial page Oct. 20 believe Ellis is guilty. After reading the article on the front page of Gamecock about the incident, that would be the logical assumption. The article was almost entirely composed of quotes by the other party involved in the incident. It is unfortunate that the writers of this article did not feel it necessary to get both sides of the story so their readers might make their decisions based on two different opinions. In an incident as serious as this, such policy on the part of the people responsible for the contents of the UxviL _1 - ? * uiiiiirtui-'K ir> muu ua rigorous ana saa.
