Fags lO-The Perquimans WMkly, Minority uestioned CHAPEL HILL -Questioning minority students from all over North Carolina who have some Interest in the study of law have a clearer conception of the profession and how to plan the future after attending a special conference arranged recently by the " Student Bar Association (SBA) at the University of North Carolina Law School here. The practical aspects of gaining admittance to law schools such as Law School Admission Test scores, helpful undergraduate curricula and special programs available were discussed with the nearly 100 black students who attended the day-long program. Members of the UNC Law School faculty and of the SBA explained the many points information the Inquiring students needed to have an swered In order to make their determinations about law study. "These discussions related to admission to law school in general and were not directed solely to the UNC Law School," Robin Britt of Aaheville, chairman of SBA's Recruitment Committee, emphasized. The students were en couraged to organize Pre-Law Clubs on the campuses of their undergraduate schools. These clubs, Britt explained, serve as a useful medium of com munication for those schools which already have them and make it easier to coordinate the dissemination of information about opportunities for minority students to study law. One highlight of the con ference, a panel discussion on "The Role of The Black Lawyer in the Community", included Frank Vallance Jr., of Warrenton, outgoing president of the North Carolina Association of Black Lawyers; Charles Becton, a Chapel Hill attorney; John Scott of the University of Virginia's ad missions office; and Richard Epps of Wilmington, president of the UNC Student Body at Chapel Hill. Charles E. Daye of the Law School faculty, who was the panel moderator, noted that there is no unanimity of definition as to the role of the black lawyer. Several law schools now have courses that apply to black problems, he said. "Your problems," Daye stated, "may be not io change the legal system but to change society." "We have to fight for equality on all fronts," Becton told the students. "Your job will be to see that Justice is done." Watching good lawyers in action are learning examples for students, according to Becton, and he stressed specialization. Vallance offered the realistic INFORMATION PLEASE More than 50 billion pieces of information have been radioed back to earth by Mariner 9, the first spacecraft to orbit Man, National Geographic says.

"The black . community's demands on the black lawyer are greater than those on the white lawyer. Overall,' the black lawyer ' should do everything he can to advance the cause of Ma race." Recent figures show mat there are about 4,000 black lawyers In the nation, with only one black lawyer to every 7,009 citizens In the southern states. "There aren't any really 'good' courses in law, only hard courses that make you think," UNC Law Prof. Dan Dobbs told one group of students. "Maybe you will want to look for those hard courses In your colleges to help In your preparation for law school. You can learn anything when you get the underlying skills learned In law." PTof. Dobbs outlined the first year of law study which In cludes courses in torts, con tracts, property, criminal law and procedure, and civil procedure. In the second and third years the student may select all elecUves. Two black coeds, Janice Mills of Reldsville, and Delores Jones of Tarboro, juniors at UNC Chapel Hill who attended the weekend conference, hope to enter law study and to enter politics eventually. Both believe UNC's .' S.8 . admission requirement is a "little high for black people." "It's not so much a hassle to make a 3.0 grade average," Janice said, "but sometimes the personal and family problems can get in the way." She is maintaining a 3.6 average. Some of the students ex pressed concern over the disadvantage of not coming from an academic background. "If you're willing to devote all your time to academics you can make it," Janice said, "but others prefer broader dimen sions in their life patterns." Student Body President Epps urged the students to become involved In community ac tivities. "Let the black people know you are concerned about their economics," he said. 11 Cricket lfcjit:s3 U.49 sjje ggt Lbtcrina Antbcpfic Stri-Dox Pads REG. 98 I sw 59 V GILlfTIt SUPER STAIRLESS O FASTEET1I & J "i North Carolina farmers grow a variety of vegetable crops, and much of the production is displayed appetisingly and sold at streetslde or roadside stands,' like this one in Know Dep GREENSBORO I- The In ternal Revemle Service today advised divorced or separated parents to becom acquainted with the dependency rules before they claim a child as a dependent on Federal income ' tax returns.
