which urges blacks to fight for change -- by "any means''.

The spirit of Burrows and Tacklyn -- hanged in 1977 -- is alive, the magazine declares.

"Our history has shown us that progress is only achieved when we as Black people decide that change is what we must have -- by any means necessary. Let us take heed!'' It adds: "P.S. Brother Buck and Brother Larry: They killed the body but the spirit lives on!'' Burrows was hanged in 1977 for gunning down Governor Sir Richard Sharples and his aide-de-camp Captain Hugh Sayers.

He and Tacklyn were also sent to the gallows for the 1973 Shopping Centre murders, their deaths sparking widespread rioting.

The magazine, "The Nationalist'', consists of 10 photocopied pages stapled together and includes poems and drawings.

The front cover shows a man's fist attached to a short chain, and next to it is the word "uprising''.

Below is written: "In the last decade our chains have been made more comfortable but what we want is our chains removed!!'' The magazine has been produced by a group called Nationalist Youth Alliance.

None of its members are identified, although Bermuda College students are thought to be involved.

Some copies have been circulated at the college.

Carefully worded, the magazine steers clear of openly promoting violence.

Instead, it describes a sense of despair, hopelessness, betrayal and anger among blacks.

And it urges them to engage in a "brutal'' struggle to free themselves.

"We have become too comfortable grovelling on our knees in mortal fear of the Island's White ruling class.

"What must be realised is that their continued power depends entirely upon our continued powerlessness in the areas of economics, politics, education and culture.

"We must break away from our enslaved state and become truly liberated.'' It continues: "The Nationalist Youth Alliance has seen the necessity to set out on the path to build a new nation.

"This can be achieved solely be means of the most brutal struggle -- a struggle that must be fought for the redemption, resurrection, and preservation of the Black race!'' The magazine also mounts a withering assault on the United Bermuda Party Government. It accuses the party of propping up racism.

And it calls on whites to repay blacks for the wealth they have enjoyed from slavery.

Premier the Hon. Sir John Swan is singled out for particular attack. He is accused of ignoring the problems of blacks.

"The UBP has committed the highest act of treason against Black Bermudians and that is one of neglect.'' Bermuda College lecturer Mr. Walton Brown, who heads the Independence Committee, said it was clear the magazine writers did not want to be identified.

"I believe people should always be prepared to stand by what they believe and do so publicly.'' Mr. Brown said he was aware many people were "cynical'' about the "state of affairs'' in Bermuda.

He hoped their energies could be channelled.

"It is easy to criticise, but more challenging to find solutions.'' Another lecturer Mr. Craig Simmons believed a handful of copies of the magazine were circulated at the college.

Opinions among students were divided, he said.

"Some students showed support, some disgust, and others were just indifferent.'' Mr. Simmons believed it healthy for young people to express their views.

It was not his role to tell people how they should think, he said.

"As an educator I am like a farmer who put seeds in the ground. It is not my job to limit growth.'' Mr. Simmons said he was not concerned by the magazine.

"It is a healthy exercise in intellectual development.''
