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 ai UPSP 144-080 Editor: Kathy Chenault; Managing editor: Tom McNeil; News editor: Val Swinton; Associate news editors: Diane Andersen, Steve Miller; Assistant news editor: Bob Lannin; Night news editor: Kathy Stokebrand; Magazine editor: Mary Kempkes; Entertainment editor: Casey McCabe; Sports editor: Larry Sparks; Art director: Dave Luebke; Photography chief: Mark Billingsley; Assistant photography chief: Mitch Hrdlicka.

Tom Shelton Sophomore, Journalism 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.
