Pari of freshman orientation tells
students where they can eat and where
they can go it they get sick, but not
everyone knows where to go if they have
a legal problem. The answer is Student
Legal Service, and it's in Suite 222 of
the Student Union.
Most of the legal questions that SLS
Director Dorothy Bernholz and two
other lawyers face are tenant-landlord
disputes and consumer problems, but
SLS can help students with a vast array
of legal assistance.
"We give legal advice to students on
any problem," Bernholz said. "If a
student inherits money and needs advice
or a girl has gotten pregnant and she
wants to know what her rights are
these are all kinds of personal problems
that impact legally."
Besides Bernholz, SLS has another
full-time staff attorney, David Kirk
man, and a part-time attorney, Carol
Badgett. Julian Parks works as legal
assistant and secretary. The lawyers are
available to advise students on legal
problems and will go to court for the
student if the problem is a tenant
landlord dispute, a minor consumer
problem, uncontested divorce or prop
erty damage.
Bernholz said the only time the
lawyers at SLS could not help students
was if the legal problem was against
the University, another student or was
of a criminal nature.
"We dont represent in criminal cases.
If a student has been arrested, we tell
them their rights, such as their right to
a court-appointed lawyer, and we stress
upon them the serious consequences,"
Bernholz said.
The SLS also is committed to helping
students and being accountable to the
students, Bernholz said. "We are a
student service. We think we should be
accountable. We try to be as visible as
we can.
"My philosophy is that students

should have the absolute right to abolish
us. The students should decide what the
students' needs are, and they should be
telling us what to do," Bernholz said.
Bernholz said the need for a student
legal assistance program had come
about when the legal age of adults was
lowered from 21 to 18 and when more
students started living off campus than
on campus. At that time, students who
formerly were considered minors had
to face the legal problems of adults,
often while attending school.
"When that happened, students
began getting in legai trouble and lacked
an advocate in the community. And
that's when the program developed,"
she said. "We equalize bargaining power
for the students."
The SLS is funded by some of the
money paid in student activities fees
each semester. Bernholz said part of
SLS's commitment to students could be
seen in the non-competitive salaries
accepted by the people who work for
SLS.
Students with a legal question can
either see a lawyer as a walk-in or by
appointment.
Student Legal Services is open
weekdays from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

Union hoard's activities
meant to strike interest
By GRANT PARSONS
Staff Writer
Carolina Union Activities Board
n: a review board supervising 10
committees that plan cultural and
social events usually, but not always,
located in the Student Union.
"We're a group of students putting
on programs for students," said Walt
Boyle, Carolina Union president.
"Our job is to entertain, to fill the
calender with entertainment, culture
and education not found in the
classroom."
Sponsoring speakers, movies, art
exhibits, workshops, seminars, par
ties, dance, theater and debates of
popular issues, the board works
year-round to provide diverse pro
grams to appeal to all students, Boyle
said.
"Students will always have either
cheap tickets or first bid on tickets,"
he said. "Most students don't have
access to these types of entertain
ment simply because they can't
afford to fly to New York. We just
want to bring quality entertainment
here at an affordable cost."
Though all of this year's programs
are not planned yet, schedules for
Carolina Concerts, a series of sym
phonies by international talent, and
the Triangle Dance Guild are com
plete, and season tickets are avail
able. The fall film schedule also is
complete, with films ranging from
Ghostbusters to The Texas Chain
saw Massacre to Casablanca.
Most of the films will not have
an admission charge. The funding
comes from a $3.50 to $4 fee included
in student activities fees.
"The rest of the activities will not
get cranked up for a few weeks,"
Boyle said. "None of the committee
positions have been filled yet. We're
looking for creative, energetic people
who are willing to work."
Students interested in joining any
of the committees should stop by the
activites board office on the second
floor of the Student Union or pick
up an application from the Union
information desk.
Boyle said members of the acti
vites board were open to suggestions
from students on coming programs.
"The field is wide open. The board
will do almost anything the students
want to do," he said. "Students need
to be aware that they could have a
bike race in the pit or a hot-air
balloon in Kenan Stadium if they
are willing to make it happen.
"It's hard to second-guess the
student. We're trying to remind
people: 'Don't take us for granted.
Use us.' "
The activites board also is plan
ning to start a weekly puzzle in The
Daily Tar Heel. A mystery picture
will be printed, and the student who
first identifies the picture will receive
free tickets to a movie, play or
concert, Boyle said.
"We hope to stimulate people to
recognize the . . . (activities board)
for what it is an organization
whose duty is to put on the programs
the students want, help people have
fun and maybe teach them some
thing along the way."
