lHAPEL hill — The
officials of the Athletic
Department of the University
of North Carolina placed
another load of dirt on the
coffin of white supremacy,
with the approval of Charlie
(Choo Choo) Justice when
Morris Mason, a black, placed
the crown upon the head of the
white queen, during homecom
ing festivities, held at half-time
of the game played between
Carolina and Wake Forest.
The event was the last in a
series of affairs, marking the
end of a brilliant career that
Mason has had at the
University. Long before Caro
lina had a black man in
uniform, even before a black
man could sit on the 50-yard
line and enjoy the game,
Mason was attending the team.
Even though he carried the
water bucket and was perhaps
the first to aid an injur^
player, he was a trainer, a
counselor and an inspirer.
Mason spent 39 years with
Carolina teams and in one of

In declining an appeal by the
district attorney of Utica, N.
Y.. who wanted to have the
state's limited death penalty
statute reinstated, the court
clearly indicated it really
doesn't want to take up the
question again. But it may be
forced to anyway.
Since its ruling last year, by
a 5-4 margin, outlawing the
death penalty when the judges
or juries have the discretion of
whether to impose it. the High
Court has rejected every
appeal urging it to narrow or
revise its stand against capital
punishment.
In effect, its June 1972 ruling
declared that most of the
state's death penalty laws were
unconstitutional. Since that
decision 21 states have enacted
new capital punishment laws
— many of them make the
death penalty mandatory for
certain crimes while others
simply remove much of the
discretion.
The Supreme Courts in two
states. Delaware and North
Carolina, have changed the
laws there to make the penalty
mandatory rather than discre
tionary. Since June 1972. 34
defendants — 15 i.i North
Carolina — have been sen
tenced to die and several of
these cases could reach the
Supreme Court shortly.
The Georgia Supreme Court
is expected to uphold the
state's new death penalty
statute, under which a rape
defendant was sentenced. The
High Court would then be faced
with considering the appeal of

sent King Ahab a message

means of telling America that
corruption in high places was
an abomination in the sight of
God He bolstered his conten

church had its walergates of
discrimination, greed, racism
and even denominationalism.
He warned that God was
drying up the oil supply to
teach man that He is God
Almighty and was tired of
man’s wicked ways.
