I am writing in response to Kathy Chenault's Feb. 16
editorial titled, "Thone Death Penalty Sidesteps Humane
Solution."
Let it be known to Chenault that she will get abso
lutley nowhere in regard to convincing death penalty
supporters when she refers to them as "barbarians,"
"inhumane" and other such degrading terms. It is dis
respectful of others' rights to their opinions.
The death penalty is not such a clean-cut issue as
Chenault would attest. There are strong feelings on both
sides and no obvious answers. We've all heard both sides
of the argument and having done so, we have probably
all decided to believe as we will. It's disgusting to argue
with someone over this issue and be called "barbarian"
or worse. To Chenault, I ask, do you enjoy being referred
to as a "bleeding heart" or "yellow-bellied?"
As you have seen, I am not arguing over the death
penalty debate, but rather asking you, in your zeal to
express your opinion to respect the opinions of those

SSA issue questioned
February 15, 1981
I congratulate those students who are asking for a ref
erendum on the March 4 elections. If SSA is going to
represent us as students, then it should be approved
by the students, not ASUN. If the Core Committee
feels confident that SSA will help the students,
then why are they so afraid of a referendum? If the SSA
will truly benefit the students, then the issue will not be
tarnished by the expression of negative aspects, which
are not being expressed by the current wave of pro-SSA
propaganda. Could it be that SSA really isn't the best
thing for us? Could this be merely another political
training ground for glory-seeking imitation politicians,
in the same manner that ASUN is extorted?
I also find it interesting that President Renee Wessels
can justify an increase in our student fees for such a
questionable program. Wouldn't it be wiser to try to re
duce our ASUN budget, rather than imposing a further
burden on us? If SSA is so important, then maybe Renee
could sacrifice her salary to help defray the costs.
I hope that other students are as concerned as I on how
our student fees are being spent.

Mommaerts for talking to us into forming the now-infamous
New Zeahnd delegation.
With the exception of MUN veteran Lance Eldridge,
the remaining members of the Kiwi Delegation were all
newcomers to the MUN. We came away with a greater
appreciation of international affairs, the United Nations
and the International Court of Justice.
We would also like to express our admiration for
many of the high school delegations which displayed an
amazing amount of professional skill and knowledge
during debate in the various committees, the General
Assembly and the Security Council.
