Page 4 Opinion University Daily Kansan, November 4, 1980 4 Don't hold your breath With the anticipation of a starving man at Thanksgiving, the American people for the past week have awaited the release of their countrymen held hostage for nearly a year by Iranian militants. Rumors about their possible release persisted, and an American military hospital in West Germany prepared to receive them, despite the Carter administration's warnings not to expect the captives' freedom for some time. Hopes were raised Sunday when Iran's parliament officially put a price on their freedom. America must unfreeze Iranian assets, which were frozen when the hostages were captured, return the late shah's wealth to Iran, dismiss all claims filed against Iran in U.S. courts and promise never to mediate again in Iranian affairs. Unfortunately, both the conditions and the people who would be involved with the hostages' fates preclude any hope of an imminent homecoming. First, of all, the capriciousness displayed by the Iranian government in the past raises the possibility that once their demands were satiated, they would want more. The demands, especially those involving the late shah's wealth and the dismissal of claims against Iran, present more complications. Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi became the new Shah of Iran Saturday, and he no doubt will fight against the return of his father's assets to Iran with all the might his considerable wealth can muster. As for claims against Iran, their resolution in the courts could take months, even if given supreme priority. And that's only if individual claimants agree to drop their suits. The demands are tough, the Iranians are tough and America is apparently in for more waiting. Along with the waiting is the hope that the hostages will not be eating their second Thanksgiving supper in Iran. Christians' role in election vote on personal conviction By JUDY HOWARD Guest Columnist They say you never discuss religion and politics. Legal aid helps in Municipal Court One evening, I violated this sage advice by discussing the possible outcome of today's presidential election with some friends. We really got fired up. Now, however, I wonder at the conversation's quality. For me, at least, the conversation degenerated to "you are conservative" and "you are liberal!" ... and you are Christians and when politics determines the worth of a p relationship with God. natural "moral rejuvenation" are not enough. Votes should not be cast without the conviction of personal faith. When we publicly scrutinize how a Christian votes, we are playing God as we attempt to determine another Christian's conscience. BvSTEVE TREASTER It's hard to imagine God being reduced to puny liberal and conservative terminology. Because of this, Christians with Christ living through them should "determine to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified." With this in mind, there should be no initial foralty bond who is unable to post that bond or has not released the binder, you must release his binder acceptance. Prosecution of all charges is stopped for three or six months. If the defendant has not violated the law and has complied with the terms of the agreement, then all charges are dismissed. Restitution of damages to victims is a common additional requirement. Prosecution of the charges will be reinstated should the defendant violate the terms of the agreement. Guest Columnist Many people have their first contacts with a traffic officer, they appear in a municipal court for a traffic violation. At the first appearance, or arrangement, the judge will read the charges against the accused. The defendant will be asked to plead guilty, not guilty or "nolo contendere" (no contest). If a nolo contendere plea is entered, the judge will find the Christians are free from political life because they share one identity in there are no political divisions.

The situation in imposing a I was thoroughly amazed and disappointed with Bill Menerez' editorial praising vigilantism. Even if the basic theme wasn't so repugnant, the argument was so poorly presented that I wonder how it ever managed to make it to the pages of the Kansan. The first examples of New Yorkers detaining thieves for police and anonymous witness programs definitely are not examples of vigilism. They show citizens working and cooperating with the law, not citizens forming their own law groups. To the editor: Vigilantism disgrace this tar-recued comparison. Menezes admits vigilantism has been lynch mobism. He mentions that besides killing criminals (we assume they are criminals as they have not been tried and dead men tell no tales) vigilantes also are killing themselves. He adds that "trigger-happy types" just waiting to blow away would be looters are the backbone of the vigilante concept. Then, for some obscure reason known only to him, he calls this a "community working together." Perhaps his reason can be determined by examining his use of the metaphor of cowboys and Indians. This assumes all things can be classified into black and white, for example, cowboy—good, Indian—bad, which in itself is a grave misconception. Menezes concludes his editorial by saying crime control must be practiced logically, which his editorial certainly managed to avoid doing. He completely ignores the question of who is going to decide whether a crime has been committed, who is guilty or above all, who is responsible for it. Menezes' system is inadequate in many areas, but it's far better than anything Menezes could propose. Jeanne Foy Jeanne Foy Manhattan freshman
