It is hoped according to * these sources that the new coach will assume his duties by Jan. 15, 1976.

Key injuries and inexperience, however, kept that prediction from materializing. Many have criticized Wallace for what they call his lack of imagination on offense. Some claim that the Rams offense contained less than ten plays this season. . Wallace's first year at WSSU was a success as his team captured the CIAA Southern Division championship with a team composed largely of freshmen. From that point the teams record slowly See WALLACE Page 2 DN r Program by James Smith ?.= Staff Writer With the number of drug arrests in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County on the increase, a Court Services program (a component of the Council on Drug Abuse) has been initiated. Their primary function is to intervene on behalf of persons who are involved-with the criminal justice system. In an interview, counselors LaVaughn Booker and Reggie Watren stressed the fact that they were not members of the law enforcement agency. "What we try to do is assess our client's needs and develop f 'riblen out of work to receive unemployment compensation insurance. "Instead of a person receiving money for the usual 13 to 26 weeks, the Federal Government has made three - new extensions which would permit a person to receive unemployment compensation for a maximum of 65 weeks. "According to the new ^extension program, after a person has been out of work for at least one year, the person is then re-interviewed to make sure he or she is eligible to receive additional help," he said. However, Teeter does feel that a lot of young persons are taking advantage of the extension program. "If a person is out of work and knows that he can stay home and receive as much or more money than he did while working, he will do so. The extension program was primarily set up for those persons who are unable to find jobs because of their age.

"We try to work with the judges, probation officers, the ' District Attorney and others in order to provide treatment services as an alternative to incarceration for those clients for whom it is deemed advisable, or for those clients who would have a more productive experience while on probation if also enrolled in some treatment program in the county," they said. Both readily agreed that with the increase in the number of drug arrests they hope the court services program could be extended to a contingency contract. "Many of the persons who came to us usually require just the Day Treatment Program," they commented. In explaining the day treatment program, they said John B.
