Page 8 THE BIACK INK April, 1975 Daye considers students a challenge By Andell McCoy Staff Writer "I enjoy teaching, it's a lot of fun ancJ the students are always a challenge, I see them come in the fall of their first year and literally become semi-professionals and I suppose I'm egotistical enough to think that I contributed in a small way," says Charles Daye, assistant professor of law here. Mr. Daye, born in Durham and a honors graduate of both North Carolina Central University and Columbia Law came to the university almost three years ago after a two year practice in Washington D.C.; and though the number of Block students has grown from 10 to 35 he remains the only Black professor in the school. Daye says he had never specifically thought of teaching in N.C. but after receiving on offer from the university his protestations were comparable to those of Bro' Rabbit and the briar patch; be knew it was where he belonged. Since he is from the area Daye saw this as the perfect opportunity to come back and re establish his roots. Recently elected chairman of the restructured Affirmative Action Committee Daye emphasizes the committee's desire to be informed about problems that might affect affirmahive action objectives. In addition to his duties as chairman Daye serves as faculty advisor for the Minority Law Association; vice- president of the Black Foculty- Student Caucus; and president of the North Carolina Association of Black Lawyers. Daye is pleased with the way students relate to him but was recently puzzled by o response given in a survey by a Block law student Charles Daye White liberals: don't call us who cited that the Black professors are indifferent to the needs of the students. "I can't for the life of me understand what he meant, unless he meant I don't always seek them out and try to establish contact with them, because I guess I just don't hove the time. But I'm always working with the Minority Law Association. I'm certainly concerned about the Black students; I was instrumental in getting an academic assistance program when we felt one was needed but it's difficult to know them all, especially if they're not in your class." Daye welcomes students, and is willing to help them in any way he can but says often they're reluctant to come to faculty offices. "Don't just drop by; I know sometimes I'm working behind schedule and in pops a student and asks if I've got a minute or if I'm busy which is most likely ;ond 1 do give an irritated response, mainly I'm bothered because I'm interrupted and he's come in asking the wrong question." Daye soys he's often contused but very concerned as to exactly what the Black students expect of him—how he relates to the Black students. If they're expecting a break because they're Block they've definitely come to the wrong man. "Who's gonna make it easy on 'em in life—what (Cont. from page 6) Dear Answer Man: Here's a riddle for you—We are a group of supposedly respectable men who profess to be genuinely interested in fair administration. Of course, we're in actuality a bunch of smartly dressed hypocrites os the latest egg we have laid so beautifully illustrates. Who are we?

She is shapely, statuesque, every thing I could ever wont in a female companion. The problem is, she soys Tnn too aggressive. Con you help? Post Operotor Dear Fast: I think you'd better get together with S.H.Y. and talk some things over. Dear Answer Man: I om sick and tired of hearing you talk about A and T in your sports columns. Every issue you're wasting space horping obout how A and T and Carolina should ploy one another. Next thing you know, you'll be parading around campus in on "A and T State" t-shirt. Tom T, Thomos Dear Tom: Yep, got my t-shirt a couple of weeks ago. The dork blue with gold trim looks pretty good if I say so myself. Dear Answer Man: I am a while campus journalist who has used THE DAILY TARHEEL as a vehicle for showing my prejudice against anyone who is not White, Anglo- Saxon, and Protestant. I would now like to write my column in the BLACK INK os o regular feature. What would you honestly say my chances are of doing so?

The Block low student better be as well prepared if not better because he may come up against obstacles that his white counterparts won't have to; also he may take cases that require a higher level of skill; issues are more difficult and the process of resolution are more agonized. Fortunately I've never had a student ask me for a break. I'll give o student all the guidance I can to hel pthem be the best lawyers they can be and I'm here if they have any special problems." In regard to the future of legal assistance for the poor Daye predicts thot it won't be long before pre paid legal services will be available. One will be able to pay for assistance as one pays for health insurance. Such o program should increase preventive services as opposed to the more curative method now used. When asked to express his views on the future of Block law schools, Daye states; "I don't really know that Black low schools have a future as law schools being entirely Black. I do however see schools like North Carolina Central as law schools with a special mission and in that sense that they serve those who might not be admitted other places because of competition. Central is a law school with a special mission which happens to include a substantial segment of the Black population; in that sense it should hove a future." Students preparing to enter law school should major in whatever makes them do a lot of reading and writing and that requires discipline in order to do well. "The last thing you wont to major in is some kind of pre law program where you become o mini-lawyer"; things like English, political science, natural sciences; chemistry, physics, etc. are good. Students are also encouraged to attend the onnual Minority Law Associations weekend to better acquaint themselves with the kinds of things that go on in law school.
