Mosl students spent most of ihcirdays studying in the library and I he evenings in the bar review classes. "There was not much more to my life for two months than law books," said Rudd. While his wife and child were away, he could sleep during (he day and study all night. "My fife is coming back to nor mal. Right now I feel like a tremendous burden has been lifted off of me." "There is so much thai one can do with a law degree." Rudd said. "I am looking at several op tions. I have a keen in terest in law, but I also have an interest in busi ncss. " Like Rudd. Miss Wan da Bryant, a Ccniral law graduate who look thai bar. said l hat she was relieved lhal "it is all over." "I fell drained after laking the bar," Ms. Bryant said, "my whole body fell tired. Il was the mosi diffieuli exam that I have ever taken in my life. I knew the material. The Bar (Continued From Front) hut menially it was tough. I Tell like I had been mentally abused." Ms. Bryant, a native of Supply. North Carolina, left Durham for home shortly after laking the exam.

Mitchell Charges SBA Wages War Against Minorities fNNPAl In a speech delivered al ihe Opera tion PUSH Convention on July 17, in Charleston, South Carolina, Congressman Parrcn J. Mitchell jD-7th-Md.) charged lhal . "The Small Business Administration (SBA) has launched the most vicious attack on the minority community in recent memory." According lo Con gressman Mitchell. SBA's failure lo defend adequately a court challenge lo the award of federal contracts to cer tain disadvantaged firms in ils 8(a) business development program is Ihc mosl recent in a scries of moves aimed al the minority business community. This latest action will affect 8(a) firms which are ncaring competitive sialus but which have technically exceeded SBA's defini tion of a "small business concern." According lo Congressman Mitchell. "If these are abruptly forced oul of the 8(a) program, many will be oul of business in less than six months." A recent General Ac counting Office decision, which is only advisory in nature, is now being used by SBA lo deny con. tracts to 23 minority 8(a) firms. These firms will be forced lo lay-off most of their 7.500 workers, many of whom arc minority. SBA Administrator, James C. Sanders, has refused to amend its regulations lo redefine a small business for the purposes of ihc 8(a) pro gram.

While the Triangle is safe from huge floods thai inundate large areas of low lying regions such as coastal North Carolina, this"area is not totally out of range of angry flood waters. In fact, the type of flooding (hat can occur in Durham and surroun ding cities can be the most unpredictable and. . J dangerous or all Hoods. 4ts known as flash or ur ban flooding. Flash floods can occur at any season but they arc most dangerous in Carolina cities during the summer. These local floods sometimes occur when a hurricane or tropical storm is passing through but they also make their apppearanccs during heavy summer thunderstorms. Flash or urban floods . may look fairly inno cent. We've all seen flooded street corners or "miniature lakes" created by $n overflow ing stream. in city parks, and were probabiy lemp tcd to wade and frolic in the water, but this could be a dangerous mistake. A thunderstorm dumps millions of gallons of water over an area like Durham thai is often covered by moist tropical air masses in the summer. These sudden summer storms can dump mind boggling amounts of water in a short time. Since- the rainfall in these lynes of thunderstorms is heavy and Tails al a iremenduos rate, the water often rises too fast for city drainage systems lo handle. Cily gutters,- ditches, creeks, and streams quickly grow into raging lor rcnls. As ihc water cascades into low areas il engulfs larger areas and in a short time a vir tual 'lake can appear. Shopping malls without proper drainage systems often fall prey lo flash floods. In the early 1970's, several spec tacular flash floods inun dated ihc sprawling Crabtrcc Valley Mall in Raleigh. ; ' Durham residents still talk about the cars' .floating down the street after a summer storm in 1974 flooded a car dealership on the Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd. Both of these areas have since constructed drainage systems to pro tect against flash floods. Never wade (unless you absolutely have to)' iinio a flash flood. The water may indeed by shallow but since it is murky you could be cut severely by broken bot tles or cans. ( In parks and other low (lying areas stay away from swollen creeks, streams or rivers. This water, racing along at tremendous speeds, creates powerful cur rents. Several Durham youngsters have drown ted after they were swept Mnto swollen streams dur ing summer storms. When a slorm hits, parents should make i sure their children come home. Earlier this sum mer six youngsters ' wound up missing; but afler several hours they I turned up safe along the river bank. But l he ex pcricncc put a maior scare into ihcir families. Flash Hoods can occui in cities such as Durham on very short notice. Tlu weather service can usually del eel a severe thunderstorm before ii hits but they can still Ini with sudden swiftness. In June a slow moving slorm dumped a monsoon-like five inches of rain on parts of Durham in one hum! This storm caused a .small lake near the Penrith Community, south of the city, lo swcl! and an earthen dam almost collapsed. The residents were evacuated. Another Durham slorm in June flooded a woman's backyard. The waicr rose so fast that police had to rescue her from her basement. With ihc Triangle area's rapid growth comes the increased pro bability of urban floods. As roads, malls, housing development s. and other construction lakes place, the small streams arc displaced thus, water that falls from slorm clouds is not carried away and flooding can be the rcsuli. ' Cily and regional planners should lake Ihis into account lo guard against this urban sum mer danger. r. J. Cecil Chook. B.Th., M.Div. Minister SUNDAY. AUGUST 8, 1982 9:30 A. 11:03 A. 6:30 P.M.
