Charles Daye Selected
President-Elect Of Law
School Admission Council
CHAPEL HILL — Charles E.
Daye, a professor at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
School of Law, has been elected
president-elect of the national Law
School Admission Council.
Daye’s election was announced
at the June 8 annual meeting of the
council in Naples, Fla. He will
assume a two-year term as
president of the group in June 1991
and will be the first president from
North Carolina. The former dean of
the N.C. Central University School
of Law has served on the council’s
board of trustees since 1984.
The Law School Admission
Council is a not-for-profit
association of Canadian and 175
American Bar Association-
accredited U.S. law schools. It was
founded 40 years ago to coordinate,
facilitate and enhance the law
school admission process.
In conjunction with its operating
subsidiary. Law Services, the
council produces and administers
the Law School Admission Test
and the undergraduate transcript
evaluation, conducts research,
produces publications on law
school access and financial aid,
offers education programs to legal
educators and administers more
than S500 million loan program for
law students. Peter Winograd,
professor and associate dean at the
Univcr.sity of New Mexico School
of Law, is the current president.
Daye has chaired the council’s
Minority Enrollment Ta.sk Force
and served two terms as chairman
of the group’s Minority Affairs
Committee.
During his tenure as president
elect, Daye said lie will concentrate
on learning more about the council
to prepare liim to be an effective
president. Among other things, the
organization is faced with
maintaining the high quality of the
law school admission test and
assuring that the council is
structured for effective
participation of members.
Daye said the council also
continuously works to maintain
accord with the two other national
law education organizations, the
Association of American Law
Schools and the American Bar
Hayti Development Corporation
this week delivered to members of
the Durham City Council additional
information and further
explanations to support its funding
request for the fiscal year
beginning July 1.
The hiring of a competent full
time employee is "on hold" because
of the Council’s reluctance to
guarantee extension of its seven-
month contract with HDC which
expires June 30. In the meantime,
HDC has utilized several
consultants already familiar with its
process and the Hayti area.
In the letter to the council, HDC
strongly contended that "the
momentum of the last few years to
get the Hayti projects developed
requires the continuity to bring to
fruition the results of past HDC
work."
It had been earlier suggested
that one planner on the city payroll
could do the work HDC proposed
to do. However, in its most recent
letter to the council, HDC
contended that "No city effort with
one planner, though helpful, will be
able to bring all of the private and
public pieces together in order to
make the process successful.
Further, a community based effort
with support from the city, offers
the best chance to realize the goal;
for this area." In support of this
contention, HDC reminded the city
that it had not accomplished in
twenty years what HDC
accomplished in eight years in the
Hayti area. "It (HDC) offers the
citizens of Durham the best chance
of reaching the goals we have all
pledged to achieve," the letter
states.
Also noted was the fact that
funding sources are available to
HDC to support the development
process which are principally
available only to community
development corporations like
HDC.
Recent HDC development
efforts include the consideration of
"Site B" by Mechanics and Farmers
Bank to develop a new corporate
headquarters, as well as by other
interested parties. "HDC has served
as conduit to Mechanics and
Farmers for several other
developers interested in the site,"
the letter states.
At the present time, funds for
the "site preparation cost” are
inadequate. This presents a
"significant barrier to the
achievement of the goals of the
redevelopment plan consistent with
the history of the Hayti area," the
letter said;
In explaining its position
further, the HDC letter noted that
"HDC has continued to pursue
additional funds in order to support
the development effort. Recent
discussions among the HDC
consultants have pinpointed Health
and Human Services (Office of
Community Services) and the
Economic Development
Administration as two particularly
good sources for funds to support
the development of the old Service
Printing Company building. These
efforts can be solidified now that a
viable concept for Site B
development is nearer to reality.
Both sources of money are
available to a non-profit
community development
corporation, such as HDC, and are
not available to a municipality. The
two above sources give grants in
the $500,000 to $1,0(X),000 range."
HDC has proposed using the
Service Printing Company site for a
train-trolley stop which would
include offices and a restaurant.
"This concept," the letter says, "is
the beginning of a multi-modal
transportation facility in the
downtown area."
The Durham Business and Professional Chain held it annual awards banquet last Wednesday'. Winner
of the Business Development Award was Lee Airport Concessions, Ltd., Howard N. Lee, president;
