“Carnage”

Sir, —I for one would like to thank your “Carnage” correspondents of June 13. Numbers of persons have become concerned about the results of the new pastime. I am sure everyone will be pleased with the assurance that it is harmless, even though it does still appear “sick” to the casual observer. Even pseudo-killing is not really amusing when the world is faced with the real thing. However, “Ham Student” need . no' give a thought to that section of the community which possibly does hold the student in contempt. I assure him or her that the genuine student holds the admiration and high regard of everyone.—Yours, etc., NO UNITS MYSELF.

June 14, 1966. Sir, —“Carnivore’s” support of “Carnage,” if rational, includes support of its viewpoint, himself (or herself) imbued with an occult desire to murder. He expresses disapproval of “James Bond” carnage and horror of bloodsports and, by inference, freezing-works, so he must also feel some sort of horror about himself (or herself). He thinks it a “bit of fun” to bring this horror to th* point

of brinkmanship. The American students, Loeb and Leopold, completely indulged this fancy. Convicted of murder, they were ironically saved from the electric chair by their counsel’s pointing out that the prosecution had been itself trying for several weeks to accomplish their violent and wilful deaths. Logic saved their lives. It may help “Carnivore” to sort things out, such as a simultaneous inclination towards being vegeterian and carnivorous, or rash ideas about “rash senior police officers.”—Yours, etc., A. B. CEDERIAN. June 14, 1966.

Sir, —I, as a student, feel that this game is an insult to the general intelligence of the student body and the taxpaying public who send us to the university on bursaries, etc. “Carnivore” and “Ham Student” betray an irresponsibility towards education and the public, as irresponsibility which should be removed from the university so that more students washing to obtain an education may proceed without interference from juveniles.—Yours, etc., STUDENT. June 14, 1966.
