treatment program funded by
state, federal and local funds,
and is the <miy program <rf its
kind in the area.

prehensive training in counsel
ing and drug identification.
Persons applying need only
have a professional attitude, a
willingness to learn, and the
ability to talk with people with
lifestyles and values that may
be different from their own and
not be judgmental. Working
with the center could provide
ideal practical experience for
sociology or psychology stu

Leaving no doubt in the
minds ot anv ot his listeners as
to "where he was coming
trom” at the Raleigh Civic
Center last Thursdav night.
Wake County Distrtet Court
Judge George Royst^ Greene,
Sr., addressed a small gather
ing ot members and persons
intoested in OAR (Oiiender
Aid and Restm’atiMi).
The jurist, who had been a
pracUcing attorney here tor
n'A years, prior to bis appoint
ment to the bench as the lirst ot
two blacks, has been criUdzed
by some ot his peers and
labded as a ‘maverick’ or
rebel’ Judge because ot some ot
his compassionate rulings in
cases where deiendants were
dther unable to post excessive
bonds or, in Greene’s opinimt.
"could not aitord to serve time
in jails because thev had
family obligations to meet."
Adoreasing a gathering ot
the OAR board ot directors at 8
p.m. Thursdav, Judge Greene
said. "Alter studying other
attmueyi and judges in the
judicial system, I saw a chance
to help wocit with people. I
decided to run tor tbe oitice ot
District Court Judge, but lost
the lirst time. However, six
years later, I tinallv got my
wiih and became a judge. I
have been otten reprimanded
bv the Judicial Standards
Committee tor some ot mv
decisions. But these decisions
were mine and, in mv heart. I
lelt that thev were the right
and just decisions. Grenre now
has the complete backing ot the
standards body.
"During the last election, as
many oi you remember, the
stage was set to ‘kilt ott Judge
Greene." Judge Greene who
ouUcored his white opponent
bv such a great margin during
the May elections that a runott
was unnecesarv, went on to
stale: "Compare my record
with other district court judges
and you cannot understa^ my,
in mv opinion, success In the
courtroom. I conrider mvseli
the kindly judge.”
He characterized tbe district
judicial system as being a
"kind of glorified nugistrate's
court.”
Greene also said that, al
though he is otlen criticized tor
his decisions in colaln cases,
"I laught at that, because It is
my teeling that it is a duty oo
the part ot a jurist with a
compassionate heart to keep
people driving so that they can
