At Duke
DURHAM — Attorney Mar

Board of Directors, NAACP,
e roved to the students of Duke
niversily L.aw School Monday
afternoon, Feb. 2, beyond a
reasonable doubt, that a new
day is upon the cause of civil
rights and young black lawyers
must be ready to rise to the
occasion.
She discussed Law and a
Changing Society and felt (hat
Watergate was the most
impelling factor that has
happened to (he legal profes
sion. to change its approach,
than anything else in a long
lime. She said Watergate
changed the attitude of the
profession from one of arro
gance, one of insensitivity to
the needs of civil rights and one
for a lust of power to one
destined to bring forth a new
breed of praclioners, dedicated
to achieve a new goal in the
moral behavior of America.
She traced the history of the
NAACP's struggle in the courts
of the land, beginning with its
first case, brought by a white
lawyer. Morefield Story, in
1910. one year after the
organization was founded. She
said that it was the beginning
of a struggle lo dignify the
cause of human justice.

Finlator
Sees Need
For Change
BY WILLIE WHITE
sTArr wRrrER
The chairman of the N.C.
Advisory Committee on Civil
Rights, believes positive
changes were made in the
stale’s prisons during the last 2
years. But he also believes
many more changes are
needed.
The Rev. W. W. Finlator,
chairman of the committee,
made that observation at a
press conference Friday, when
the committee released a
2-year study of the stale's
prison system.
The committee made 10
recommendations to the state,
beginning with the recom
mendation that the governor
and N.C. General Assembly
"immediately restructure the
Board of Correction lo allow
the appointment of more
women, blacks and native
Americans." As of press time,
(he governor’s office had not
responded to the recommenda
tions.
The committee also recom
mended that the minority
composilion of the prison
system’s staff be increased.
"There were no significant
numbers of black or women
wardens or superintendents,
and only one native American
superintendent,” the reports
noted.
Appended to the report was a
response from deputy prisons
director W. L. Kaulzky, which
outlined (he positions held by
minorities, included in that
outline was the superintendent
of the Correctional Center for
Women, a position held by a
