Show LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Agency and not the News, as Lynne Hollstein suggests, but regardless, re-gardless, if it is wrong for the News to suppress opposing viewpoints, view-points, it is, equally wrong for the Chronicle. I certainly hope this example of immature drivel, carelessness, and hypocracy is not a portent of things to come in the Chronicle. We get this sort of thing from so many other quarters. James Miller their guarantee to free speech. We are still free to have a difference dif-ference of opinion in this country. Your interpretation of things are not that "blatantly obvious" to me. You had some points which were well made and would have been just as strong had the entire second paragraph of your editorial been omitted. Ernest M. Chamberlain, Jr. Stash your pots Editor: In reference to the article of Tues., Oct. 12 on pottery facilities, I would like to inform those interested that the Jewish Community Center in Salt Lake is opening a ceramics studio under my direction. The studio is fully equipped with all new equipment, equip-ment, including electric wheels and a kiln which fires stoneware. The courses include unlimited firing. The fee is half that of a pottery course at the U. If you would like to join us, or be put on the mailing list, call Liz Vigoda, 364-6739. Elizabeth Vigoda No second graf Editor: In reference to your editorial of Oct. 12, doesn't the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantee the expression of free speech to both sides in any given controversy? con-troversy? Are organized groups, even a religious body, to be excluded from these rights? When the ideas involved in a controversy con-troversy are felt strong enough, doesn't the same First Amendment Amend-ment give the right to either party to petition the government (I assume federal, state andor local) for the redress of their grievances whether these grievances are right or wrong? I have seen nothing illegal or unconstitutional either in the booking of "Jesus Christ Superstar" at the Salt Palace nor in the opposition against it. I do not think the Constitution gives anyone the right to be unopposed in the ideas they express under Drug over the k Editor: This is an open leltf Barker: Re: Your letter to the Oct. 8.

Broth" Burns burned? Editor: It is difficult to understand how the shoddy Oct. 5 story about Charles "Charlie Brown" Artman being turned away from the "Deseret News" Offices slipped unscathed past the watchful eyes of such outstanding journalists as Darrell F. Leo and Bill Marling. Technical considerations aside, however, the accusation by innuendo in-nuendo that the sinister News was visiousiy suppressing elements it disagrees with should really be applied to the Chronicle. In the Oct. 4 edition, the day before the Charlie Brown Story, the Chronicle gleefully described the put-down of "two clean-cut Air Force ROTC guys" who had some press releases of their own to deliver. After informing us that "this wasn't their first request" the unbiased, open-minded Chronicle went on incredibly to say '-'we politely declined, beine as how we try to confine our news columns to legitimate news." It may be that the Charlie Brown incident was actually the responsibility respon-sibility of the Burns Detective |
