PAGE TWELVE Capital Ty rmed By DOROTHY DRASHER Society degrades itself by con tinuing the barbaric practice of capital punishment, Ch a r les Walker said yesterday. Walker is the college secretary of the Mid-Atlantic American Friends Service Committee. He said that an . execution cannot he humane. He will speak at 4 p.m. today in the Hetzel Union assembly hall on "Dare We Hope for Peace?" THE GAS CHAMBER and elec tric chair used today in this "pre meditated legalized killing" are no better than the methods prac ticed in killing humans centuries ago. Walker is an advocate of the abolition of the death penalty as a punishment or deterrent of crime against society. He said studies have shown that criminals are not deterred from crime by the threat of the death penalty. The idea of life imprisonment is as effective a deterrent to crime as the death penalty, he said. That is, if such measures are a deterrent to crime at all, Walker added. He foresees a long struggle to get the death penalty abolshed In Pennsylvania and in most of the other states. Only a half a dozen Puntsh4 I). . -/ arwanc states have outlawed the penalty, the oldest being Michigan which took the action in 1846, Capital punishment is ►more re venge than deterrence to crime, he said. There are several negative ef fects to the use of capital punish ment including the expense of the necessarily prolonged trials and cost of maintaining maximum security on death row, he said. Numerous appeals and requests for re-trial of the case are often made, Walker said. THE POSSIBILITY of execut ing the wrong man always exists, he said, citing the claim that in 10 per cent of •the cases involving the death penalty, such a mis take is made. Walker advocated a new ap proach to the treatment of crimi nals that would be similar to the progress made in recent years in the field of mental health. Re search should be undertaken to achieve greater understanding of criminals who are victims of so ciety- as well as destroyers of the established order, he said. The non-violent struggle to abolish capital punishment is one way in which those opposed to it can express their opinions, Walk er said. will January 29, B.S. and M.S. candidates In Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Physics for Design and Development Specialized Training Program, Direct Assignment, Graduate Study Program See your placement officer now to arrange an interview with the RCA representative.
