Things have certainly changed at the universities these days. When I went to college, we lived in a mmtk-ithe resi- dence for men. Females were allowed in the building once a year, for a cocoa and buns party on a Sunday afternoon. It was extremely well chaperoned. Bill [ljrTr,l We were ailowed to come in at any hour, but anyone caught with anything as lethal as one bottle of beer in his room was kicked out of residence. In the girls' residences, things were even tougher. They had to be in by 9:30 or some early hour, and sign in under the grim supervision of a house mother. They got to stay out until midnight once a week, and had a "late pass" - until 1 a.m., once a month. Letter te the eclitur Nobody - but nobody - going to university was mar- ried, including most of the younger professors. Entertainment consisted of an occasional well super- vised dance, totally dry, and the odd movie. It was a fairly sterile, far from murky life, not exactly bohemia, but we were so naive we thought we were happy. Dear Editor: The following is a letter addressed to Max Saltsman. MP. dated March 8, 1976. I would appreciate it if you printed it in your letter to the editor column: Dear Max: Today, university life is so different you’d think you were living in a different era. a different civilization. I want to thank you for your letter of Feb. 25/76 in which you have gone to some lengths to state your views on capital punishment. 1 can only assume from the letter that you are opposed to it. First of all it's not too many years that this ques- tion was before parliament and at that time it was turned down except for po- licemen and prison person- net. That is the law and why should our government or solicitor general Warren Allmand publicly state that he will not carry it out. The crime took place during this period and therefore the lawyers should know how to interpret the law. In a recent poll by the Metro- politan police, I see that they had 100,000 replies and the result was 90,000 for and 10,000 against. This is a ratio of 9 to l and speaks for itself. Yes the police are the thin blue line and mast be pro- tected. When you see bar brawls or fights at a hockey match etc, the people gang- ing up on our policemen. we owe these men our sin- cere respect. You have gone to some lengths to quote statistics which to me mean nothing, since murder should not happen in the first place. I enclose three clippings from our local paper which you might find interesting. Furthermore we had a lo- cal provincial officer killed on vacation in Florida who had accompanied his police- man friend on his regular route and they were both killed without provocation when they went to investi- gate an automobile parked in a suspicious area. What about the killers in B.C. who a week ago held three guards hostages with knives if their demands were not met? We should keep these criminals in prison for 25 years and expose the guards to this treatment. You mentioned various reasons for murders but the two most prevalent are robbery and rape. The lat- ter does not usually involve a policeman. You mention we might prevent violent crimes in our society if we had better trained, better deployed and better equip- ped policemen. I think our police have the best train- ing they can get today but they are hog tied by the pub- lic and the politicians. We have more education sup- plied by the Provincial and Federal level which is cost- ing us millions of dollars and yet we cannot go out in large cities and feel safe at night. I do not know who Ed- mund Burke is but I can as- sure you his thinking is ridiculous.

Today's students are not " polite, but they are far more honest. They are not as "moral", but they are far less in- hibited. They are not as steady, but they are far less afraid. Then, the universities were basically elitist, wintever you may hear about people working their way through college. From the small towns, the sons and daughters of the local doctors and lawyers and teachers might go to college. The children of the so-called working class hadn't a chance. Today's mixed Bag is a refreshing change. Anyone with the intelligence is able to go to university. There are gap- ing breaches in the rigid walls of the old, hidebound univer- sity traditions. Standards in the universities have been lowered, but I think their end-product, the graduate, is just as bright, a whole lot more sensitive, a good deal more tolerant. and far more articulate (even though badly spoken), than the large majority of my contemporaries. responsibility to carry out the wishes of the people and not go against them. I still say if you feel or any other member of parliament feels that this question is too big for your conscience, then the government should have a plebiscite on the matter. I would suggest you send all of your constituents a questionnaire and ask them for their opinion on how to vote. All you need are two questions as follows: Are you against Capital Punishment?------ or Are you for Capital Pun- ishment?--- This should satisfy your mind and you can forget the statistics. What we need is a deterrent which spells out that the penalty is a life for a life.
