A TIME TO DIE
By Tom Wicker. Pp. 335.
1975. Qumdrangle/The New
York Times Book Co.
“There’s always a time to
die. I don’t know what the
rush was.” So declared
Herman Badillo, a member of
the observefs committee,
daring the Attica, New York
prison riots in September,
IJ7I, as the state troopers
ril6hed to accomplish the
massacre. Another member of
tile observers and mediators
committee was Tom Wicker,
political columnist and Asso
dtate Editor of the New York
Imes, who later compiled his
ijjemories of the harrowing
tgagedy into a book, entitled A
■me To Die.
, But the book is much more
tlan a chronological series of
tie events that occurred

CAMP COST
Camp Rental, food, re
freshments each evening,
handicraft materials, cooks,
and staff: $35.00 plus SIO.OO
for transportation. Grand total
is $45.00. A $lO deposit is
necessary to be made before
June 25. The $lO deposit is
subtracted from the $45.00
total-so a final $35.00 pay
ment is due when the campers
leave.
Campers will enjoy the
following classes: Swimming
wili be taught to all campers
depending on whether they
need basic swimming or more
advanced instructions. Han
dicraft-will be taught daily
and craft materials will be
furnished. Ecology-or appre
ciation of outdoors (and
conservation) will be taught
during the riots. Wicker
indicts us all himself inclu
-1 ded, for the Attica disaster.
By means of flashbacks into
his provincial and prejudiced
Southern upbringing, he
states that although we have
come a long way in our
thinking and acting, we are
still not out of the woods of
dark, befuddled reasoning.
‘‘Puritan theology may be
dead, but Puritanism still
lives in its tendency to divide
everyone into two opposed
camps, the saved and the
damned, We and They, the
forces of good and evil. The
Puritans stated that evil had
to be stamped out, and
anything done to exterminate
it was justified. But evil was
usually violent; so if violence
had to be used to stamp out
evil, that was justified vio
lence. Today, the Pentagon
daily to campers. Canoeing
will be taught daily as part of
Ecology. Recreation-class will
be instructed in Archery.
Each camper will be given an
opportunity to learn the best
archery techniques and prac
tice daily.
Horsemanship classes will
be taught to all campers who
want to enroll at an additional
cost of $12.00. Campers will
be taught horsemanship tech
niques and ride daily.
Electricity will be taught
one day by a representative of
Duke Power Company. Addi
tional special interest classes
will include angling, riflery,
outdoor cookery, and other
crafts.
Deposits for camp will be
taken through June 25. For
further information call the
Agricultural Extension Office,

calls it protective reaction.”
Such is the justification for
the police attack at the Attica
prison which took the lives of
43 inmates and hostages. It
was protective reaction for
killing the men who had
revolted against being treated
as animals. For to cage a
human' being is to place the
person caged in the condition
of a beast in a zoo, with all the
mistreatment that eventually
occurs. Both animal and
keeper retrograde in such a
miserable situation. A revolt,
like the one at Attica, was
inevitable. The author con
cludes with the statement that
no American institution is a
greater or more costly failure
than the prison system. The
tragedy at Attica was a
horrible example.
