If faigb technology cant tan- it devised a century ago, then my faith in more than gtraigjbt, ridiculous. Some have 90 days; some a (ah, there. piirtmHon mark). And one has tt, except hi Leap Year. We hare to learn an kn- becflic poem to keep it all modern automation V been hat I particularly object to are the 'fame" keys-"aadr' for the left hand, for the right. That semicolon has got to go, even if it turns millions of touch typists back to the bunt- and-peck school. : Far from deserving a finger of its ovm, the semicolon belongs on the top row with the asterisk. In these days of high deficit financing, the dollar sign is used much more frequently. ; The same is true of the alphabet at large. It has 26 letters, of which only five are blatantly vowels. Yet every word in the Rngiigh langmy has a vowel sound. Some of the consonants that are easily reached obviously are being underworked. Although certain lefuiius are needed, I fear the modernists ;who already have persuaded some government agencies to experiment with a new keyboard, wont stop at this typewriter. .• For one thing, the calender that you and I know and lore, especially on Friday, is vulnerable. £ I'm not week is perfect. a six-day w week better.

Not opinions by those who broke and ran. Bill Fitxgerald Wonder Lake Dear Editor: Don Graffs editorial opposing capital punishment (3-22-85) misses the point entirely. The difference between Cuba, Ethiopia, Iran, Viet Nam and the soviet Union on the hand, and Britain, Canada, France, the Netherlands and Norway on the other is not they hare a death or not (indeed, the notes that Britain and Canada do retain capital parish* meal for exceptional crimes). What distinguishes these two groins of countries is that the legal systems of the former are draetwi apdnt pn»itiral dissent while those of the latter concern themselves primarily with crimes against persons or carcerate a killer to protect society. As time went on, however, it became apparent that--with the exceptions of notorious mass murderers such as Richard Speck and John Wayne Gacv-our legal system in incapable of permanently removing a criminal from sodetv. Whether given multiple life sentences of 99, 109, 299 or 399 years, the perpetrator will automatically be eligible for parole after a comparatively short time. And, tmless there is organized opposition to parole, he or she is frequently released. . This is the real justification for capital punishment It puts the individual who has com­ mitted a heinous crime forever beyond the power of a pardon or parole board.
