(CPS)-College students are no lon
ger being asked to handle as much
required reading ais their counter
parts of 15 or 20 years ago, accord
ing to a spot survey taken by the
New York Times.
“Ten years ago, anyone coming
to college would have read books
like “Huckleberry Finn,” or “The
Hunchback of Notre Dame” but
now they haven’t, and what they
do read tends to be faddish, con
temporary and of their own cul
ture,” said Perry Lentz, an asso
ciate professor of En^sh at Ken
yon College in Ohio.
But some believe that the situ
ation is not as negative as it ap
pears,
“If We do read less, and I‘m
not ready to concede this in
every case, it is partly a function
that we ask them to do more with
what tfiey read,” said V^lliam B.
Coley of the English department
at Wesleyan.
“I think students do more
interesting things. ’ he said.

Before you turn over a sizeable sum of
money to anyone -even your brother-
make sure the conditions of the tran
saction are clearly understood and,
perferably, put on paper and signed...
Q. Over a year ago in Florida I helped
my brother out by paying $1,200 for a car,
which was registered In his name. I have
the cancelled check.
Recently my brother and his wife got a
divorce and his wife got the car in the
settlement. Now neither of them will pay
me back my $1,200. Is there anything I
can do about this?
A. If you were to file a court action to
recover the ■ $1,200 which your check
shows you paid for your brother’s car,
you would have to prove it was a loan to
him.
His defense to your lawsuit could be
that the money was a gift. The law
defines a gift as a voluntary transfer of
property (money In your case) without
any consideration or compensation
therefore (Am. Jur. 2d Ref. Gifts, Secs. 1-
11).
Unless your brother stated in writing
that this was a loan, as with a promissory
note, or orally in the presence of another,
his contention that it was a gift could be
regarded as valid.
Q. My former employer died two years
ago, leaving a will wldch mentioned me
and several other of lils employees. Hie
will says that, after debts are paid, the
money should be given to three charities
and specified amounts to several em*
ployees.
The rest of his estate wras to bej>ut In
trusts for his brother’s two sons. Now the
brother, and a daughter, are contesting
the will.
My question Is: Do we, his employees,
have any recourse? Can our money be
paid before the outcome of the brother’s
litigation Is known? We live in New York.
A. If those contesting the will should
lose, the probate court processing of the
estate will continue, and the legatees
mentioned will be paid.
If the contestants win, your employer’s
estate will be distributed as the New
York Statute of Descent and Distribution
prescribes (E.P.T.L. Sec. 4-1.1). Unless
you are an In-line relative of your em
ployer, you would not be paid unless you
could prove the legacy was payment for
work performed.
Until the litigation is settled, there is
nothing you «md the other employees can
do to hurry the distribution.
Q. I have lived in Phoenix for seven
years and would like to know mliat the
laws are here about maUng out my will.
My children live in Ohio, and I own some
property there.
A Jt is always wise to seek the advice of
an attorney In preparing a wdUl. But you
may prepare a holographic (wholly
handwritten and signed by you) will
which requires no witnesses. Arizona
recognizes holographic wills as valid
(ARS. Sec. 14-2608).
You should open with the words, "This
is my last will and testament. I direct.."
Then list who Is to receive what, and sign
it at the end. A holographic will should be
filed with your important papers. It Is
proved by persons who can Identify your
handwriting.
