PAGE 6 ACTIVITIES Minority Recruitment a Major Concern of BALSA QUENTIN EATON Staff Write The Black American I>aw Student Association (BAI^A), formerly the Minority I^w Student Association, is a UNC campus organization concern ed with the recruitment of minority students for law schools. The oganization’s annual spring recruitment program offers classes on gaining admissions to law schools and financial aid. The program’s workshops are designed to address the needs of all minority law students as far as reaching their educational goals are concerned. Brenda Carter, secretary, said BAI.SA changed names because the meml)€rs felt a need to affilite with the national organization of the same name. ‘‘On a national level BAI^SA would be able to better express their opi nions on such issues as the Bakke and Weber cases while gaining experience through practical involvement ac tivities such as the Frederick Douglass Moot Court Competition.” During this yearly event.

President Vernon Russell, a second year law student, plans to have his organization lay the foundation for BAIjSA this year. Russell also plans an orientation for Black students on exam-taking and study techniques as well as electing a representative to the BSM. The representative would serve to keep in touch with other activities among the student body since profes sional organizations tend to lose con tact with undergraduate activities. Carter invites any undergraduate students interested in the organiza tion or its activities to “check them out.” Internally, BALSA helps with policies within the School of Law and they deal with problems arising among individual members. Membership is open to anyone in the School of I.^w at UNC. Presently, BALSA has forty members all of whom had undegraduate majors ranging from communication to political scince. Grover Burthey, a third year law student serves as vice-president. Associate Professor Dr. Charles Daye is the official advisor. Geting Black law students and Black attorneys involved in the com munity “in order to make it (the legal system) responsive to the needs of the black community and to do any and all things necessary for the ac complishment of these purposes within such limits as provided for by law” is the national purpose of BAI^A.
