._A[l.nt'• far. 1111 Concentration key for Sonics Dcamp By MIKE KAHN 2rw5 McClatchy News Service SAN DIEGO - Showtime 1989-90 is here for the Seattle Supersonics, who began training camp Friday at the U iversit of San Diego. Who-are-they going to be? Is this the team that took a 41- 19 lead on the Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs? Or is thi the team that blew that 41-19 lead to get ousted from the Western Conference semifi- nals? "That's what this year is all about for us - consistency," Sonics guard Dale Ellis said. "We have to be able to do the same thing almost every night to be among the elite teams." The Sonics are in San Diego because they were booted from Northwest College due to zoning problems in Kirkland. In actuali- ty, this might help the training camp schedule because they can have six consecutive double ses- sions of practice before they play the Los Angeles Clippers in the first exhibition game Thurs- day night at the San Diego Sports Arena. "We'll be able to concentrate a lot better because we won't have as many distractions," Sonics point guard Nate McMillan said. "We won't have family or friends around. It's just about basket- ball. This is the time we all get used to each other and the new guys get comfortable with the system." The Sonics enter camp with 16 players, only 12 will make the ballclub. Returning from last year are Ellis, McMillan, Xavier McDaniel, Derrick McKey, Olden Polynice, Michael Cage, Sedale Threatt, and Avery Johnson. New faces include first round draft choices Dana Barros and Shawn Kemp, along with Brad Sellers, who vas ac quired from the Chicago Bulls in a predraft trade. Au tralian drew Gaze heads a group of fr r agents invited to camp. Othe1 s are veteran center Chris Engler, Mike Champion, Montana center Wayne Tinkle, and former Jl. linois forward Scott Meents. I'.

By Larry A. Aiex nder

Because the burners can burn the flag with legal impunity, their at- tempts to desecrate the flag this way are self-undennining. The flag as a symbol of liberty rises in esteem as a consequence of their attempts to desecrate it. But paralleling the delicious irony of the flag burners' unsuccessful at- tempts to desecrate the flag is the bitter irony of President Bush's and Congress' efforts to outlaw flag burn- ing through a bill which has now passed both houses or, worse, through an anti-desecration constitu- tional amendment. President Bush and Congress have fallen victims to the same paradox as have the flag burners they are out to get. For just as constitutionally protecting the desecration of the ma- terial flag makes it impossible for flag burning to desecrate the flag as symbol, removing that constitutional

protection and punishing flag burn- ing, by diminishing liberty of expres- sion, to that extent diminishes and desecrates the flag as symbol of lib- erty. Ironically, President Bush and Congress, by proposing that we make physical destruction of the flag con- stitutionally protected blasphemy, are poised to deliver a victory to the flag burners that the latter could never achieve by their own counter- productive efforts. If the proposed constitutional amendment is adopted, the flag will wave less proudly over a land a little less free, and it will be our elected officials and ourselves, not the flag burners, who will be responsible for this, the only way to desecrate the flag. Alexander is a professor at the University of San Diego School of Law:--

symbolize are constitutionally pro- tected, even if hateful. Punishing flag burners is really no different from pumshing those who express the same idea through rais- ing the Swastika. the Hammer and Sickle, and the stars and Bars, or those who express the idea through the written or spoken word. The logic or punishing flag burners extends to punishing these others and thu goes to the very heart of the first amendment, as the majority of the Supreme Court justices correctly

concluded. Because we all have the constitutional liberty to express con- tempt for the very liberty we have, flag burners are no less protected than anyone else expressing the same idea, however misguided and offensive. But herein lies the irony. The flag burners, by being granted the consti- tutional liberty to burn the flag, can- not succeed in desecrating the flag as a symbol. For the flag as a symbol of liberty is strengthened in the very act of allowing the bur!1ers to burn.
