FILM MAKERS AT GEORGETOWN - Filming of
“The Exorcist” at Georgetown University is scheduled
to wind up this week. The movie is based on a novel
about devil possession set in Georgetown, written by
William Peter Blatty, an alumnus of the school. He said
the novel was prompted by an actual case he heard
about while in college. The clock tower of the Healy
Building is in the background as a camera crew closes
in for the rehearsal of a scene in which Detective
Kinderman (Lee J. Cobb) and Father Karras (Jason
Miller) confer in the campus quadrangle. Closeups
show Cobb (left) and Director William Friedkin during
a break. (NC Photos by Thomas N. Lorsung)

The car and the price
are both easy to live with.
The price we put on it means even more when you get in
it. Fully reclining bucket seats. Thick wall-to-wall nylon
carpets. Simulated woodgrain style dash, steering wheel
and gearshift knoh. And that’s just for starters.
All standard? Of course.

Some Good Ideas for Reform
Of the Legal Justice System
In his testimony before the
Republican Platform
Committee, George Mische,
director of the new National
Coordination Committee for
Justice Under the Law,
offered the following
recommendations:
1. In view of the
disproportionately large
numbers of economically
deprived people imprisoned
in this country, we
recommend full employment
or the institution of a
guaranteed annual income,
equal to or greater than the
federal poverty standard, as
the most important positive
step toward wiping out the
primary cause of crime in
America, poverty.
2. We recommend that
either all who are known to
be liable to arrest and
prosecution be subjected to
arrest and prosecution, or else
no one be arrested and
prosecuted at all. The sons
and daughters of upper or
upper middle class parents
escape prosecution on
narcotics and other charges.
The children of the poor are
prosecuted to the full extent
of the law. Polluters and
manufacturers of unsafe
products escape prosecution,
while car thieves, bank
robbers, and other less
ambitious transgressors are
prosecuted to the full extent
of the law.
3. We recommend an end
to the cash bail system and
the exploration of more
equitable and humane
alternatives such as third
party custody. Thousands of
men and women are presently
in jail while awaiting trial
because they cannot afford
bail. In most cases bail is set
without regard to the
financial status of the
arrested individual. As a
result, those who have money
are set free. The poor are
either victimized by
bondsmen or put behind bars.
4. We recommend that the
necessary steps be taken to
insure that the indigent are
defended with the same vigor
and access to legal resources
by which they are
prosecuted. The law
guarantees legal counsel and
representation to the
indigent. Often times the
quality of this counsel is
inferior. Again the poor,
unable to choose their
representatives in court, are
victimized. In terms of the
court system, this might be
remedied through instituting
a defense counterpart to the
prosecuting attorney.
5. We recommend that
necessary steps be taken to
put an end to the practice of
plea bargaining. Implicit in
the practice of plea
bargaining is the danger that
an innocent person might be
coerced into sacrificing his
constitutional right to trial by
threats of the maximum
sentence if trial is sought and
promises of leniency if a
guilty plea is entered. The
universal practice
discriminates against the
defendent who seeks to
exercise his right to a fair
trial.
6. We recommend that
steps be taken to enact a new
standardized code of
sentencing which would limit
the discretionary power of
judges over sentencing. The
existing procedure for
sentencing convicted
criminals gives far too much
discretionary power to the
presiding judge. As a result of’
this discretionary power, two
people convicted of the same
crime may receive greatly
varying sentences. Also, this
discretionary power can lend
itself to obscene harshness
and vindictiveness, as
exemplified by the meting
out of 2,500-year sentences
in Texas for possession for
marijuana.
7. We recommend that an
accurate record of the
sentencing decisions of every
judge be annually published
in order to allow citizens to
monitor the judges who are
accountable to them.
8. We recommend that
prison be the final alternative
available to the legal justice
system instead of one of the
first. Convinced of this not
only from statistical data, but
from first hand experience,
we urge the following:
a. That the necessary steps
be taken to halt the
construction of all new
prisons.
b. That increased use be
made of probation as an
alternative to imprisonment,
and that working
probationers make restitution
in lieu of punishment for
property crimes.
c. That all convicted heroin
addicts be entered into
probationary rehabilitation
programs.
d. That all chronically
unemployable persons
convicted of property crimes
be entered into probationary
job training programs, and
placed on jobs upon
completion of the program.
3. That halfway houses be
used before sending people to
prison and not only between
incarceration and release.
f. That all imprisoned
persons be granted the full
rights and protection
guaranteed by the
Constitution.
g. That all imprisoned
persons be paid the legal
minimum wage in return for
all work performed in
servicing and maintaining the
prison or in the manufacture
of saleable goods.
h. That all imprisoned
persons be given a
semi-annual parole hearing,
that their parole be
confirmed or denied.
