The purge, you see, took place in Uganda. Idi Amin has persecuted, tortured and murdered so many people that no one knows how to count them. But the United Nations does not seem unduly upset about the matter. Nor are there any protests against the lack of a free press or the proscriptions against in movements protest Uganda. Writing in the New York Times Book Review of November 6, John Darnton discussed two books on the subject of Uganda's ruthless A State of Blood ruler: by Henry Kyemba, and Human and Uganda submitted to the Rights UN by the International of Jurists. Commission Reading the review, one receives the impression that Uganda is Hell on Earth. Henry Kyemba, a former insider in the Amin estimates the regime, Uganda killings at 150,000. He has seen the bloated bodies floating in the river. He also viewed the bullet-ridde- n bodies of Anglican Archbishop Jawan traffic accident. Amin told Kyemba that he had more than once eaten human flesh. It was, he said, more salty than leopard meat.

They are demanding a reduction in the age ot consent, although they cant agree on whether it ought to be 14 or ten, or maybe 6. Child molesters do of course have their rights: They have a right to be electrocuted.

I would like my position to be clear, so I offer these thoughts. First of all, its wrong to stereotype anyone, whether by sex, race, religion, or otherwise. We all have different goals and lifestyles, and the freedom to choose one's own is the cornerstone of our democracy. So a woman's place" is wherever that woman chooses to he. Let no one be confused. Im firmly committed to equal rights opportunities and pay for women. If a woman chooses to dedicate herself to a career in business, she should not be discriminated against in any way because of her sex, and she can be assured of my support in that regard. However, I also believe that a woman who chooses not to work outside the home should not be unnecessarily enticed into the working arena. Besides the effect on unemployment, if the woman has a family it could adversely affect them, too. There is no greater role than that of a wife and mother, and that role should never be belittled. It is under the influence of a family, particularly a mother, that the Einsteins and Lincolns of this world come to be. The greatest asset a child could have is a mother who cares and provides the love, security and good training the child needs regardless of whether the mother works or not. In the marketplace today many women work because they want to or because they must. I am well aware of that and have always insisted that they be accorded their constitutional rights, including equal pay for equal work and advancement based on merit, not sex or race. I have long had the greatest confidence in the ability of In fact, in my own women. congressional offices, three of my six highest-pai- d employees are women. They are a great asset to the people of Utah and are continually contributing immensely to the betterment of its people. They and millions of other women around the country are succeeding today and moving toward full equal treatment as guaranteed by the Constitution. There is no need, as I see it, for a new amendment, since those original rights need only be enforced. We need to change our attitudes, not the Constitution. (Emphasis this Editors!) Finally, women who choose not to work outside their homes need not withdraw themselves from community involvement or other activities they might find challenging or fulfilling. They can and often do play major roles in their communities. To me the proper rearing of children, along with the freedom to choose ones own course in life, are the foremost considerations in the discussion of a womans role. If by trying to impose stereotypes we deny that freedom to anyone, we simply deny it to ourselves.
