by Willis J. Walker, Jr.
Dr. Alfred Jay Bollet,
chairman of the Department of
Medicine at the Medical
College of Georgia, has been
named a member of the
prestigious American Board of
Internal Medicine.
Dr. Beliefs appointment,
for a five-year-term of office,
brings to three the number of
successive MCG Medicine
chairmen who have held
memberships on the Board.
Former chairmen Dr. Thomas
Findley and his predecessor,
the late Dr. Virgil
Sydenstricker, were also
members. It is unique in the
history of the Board for three
successive department
chairmen from one institution
to be elected to membership.
The Board established
training criteria for specialists
in internal medicine, admits
qualified persons to
examinations, and certifies
qualified physicians as
specialists in internal medicine.
In addition to membership
in the full Board, Dr. Bollet
serves as chairman of a
subcommittee of the Board
responsible for examinations in
the rheumatology subspecialty
of internal medicine.
Dr. Bollet joined the faculty
of the Medical College as
professor and chairman of the
Department of Medicine in
1966. He received his MD

this summer and, it is hoped,
three more at the end of the
first year. It intends to help the
interns open their offices or
join black firms elsewhere in
the South after they have
completed a year’s training.
The first intern will be Dave
Dennis, a former civil rights
chairman of Mississippi’s
Council of Federated
Organizations, the organization
that supervised civil rights
activities in that state during
the most, active period of the
movement.
“It is hoped that a
mushroom effect will develop,
so that in three to five years,
former interns and other black
lawyers will be in a position to
take new young black lawyers
into their own firms for
training,” the partners said.
The new firm will open its
office on Loyal Street in the
heart of the French Quarter.'
Mr. Strickler will be

white lawyer from Lafayette,

Even with all the current
controversy about the war in
Viet Nam, the secret papers
and sensational revelations
being made on the history of
our involvement in the Viet
Nam conflict, and with all of
the problems of pollution
which we face, the need to
clean up our air, our water and
our general environment, there
is no matter in the life of our
nation which is more crucial
and important today than
education.
This is not the biased
opinion of professional
educators, or simply those
concerned with the field of
education. This is an objective
appraisal of many of our most
perceptive national leaders.
They realize that unless the
United States can maintain
and strengthen its educational
systems, any military or
ecomonic competition will
eventually become an
academic matter.
While many are properly
concerned with the lower
levels of education in our
elementary and secondary
schools, some of our most
improved educational
background of black lawyers,
there is a growing demand
among black organizations and
in black communities for the
services of black
professionals.”

be provided legal services with

prominent national leaders
feel that our greatest concern
should be with higher
education. That is a difficult
comparison to make, as
certainly the basic foundation
is essential for later learning,
but there is no question but
that all levels of education in
the United States should be a
matter of paramount concern
to all thoughtful citizens.
The cost of higher
education continues to
increase at a significant rate
year by year. The figures
which can be cited by The
University System of Georgia
are generally typical of the
rising costs of college and
university work throughout
the nation. The operating
budget for the Georgia
University System for fiscal
year 1971 was $260,117,514,
of which $165,646,500 was
appropriated by the Georgia
General Assembly from our
tax funds. The proposed
operating budget prepared by
the Board of Regents for fiscal
year 1972 shows a total
operating budget of
$278,494,176, of which
$182,151,793 will come from
the state treasury.
This increase will represent
a tax-supplement increase per
student from $1,731 to
approximately $2,000 for
each and every student in the
next fiscal year. These figures
do not represent the total cost
of a college education, but
simply the difference between
what the average student pays
for his education, and what it
costs to provide it for him.
A couple of years ago the
Southern Regional Education
Board conducted a symposium
on the financing of higher
education. When the SREB
later published the
proceedings of that meeting,
the report said: “In the South
since 1950 the number of
institutions of higher
education has increased from
570 to more than 770;
enrollment has grown from
565,000 to 1.7 million, and
the percentage of college-age
youth attending college has
increased from 19% to 38%.”
It is estimated by the
Southern Regional Education
Board that the percentage of
students attending college will
increase to between 47 and
51% by 1976.
Most of the growth in our
colleges and universities has
come on tax-supported
campuses. The enrollment in
the University System of
Georgia more than doubled in
the decade between 1955 and
1965, and it is expected that
the enrollment in
state-supported campuses of
Georgia will more than double
again in the decade between
1965 and 1975.

Most Georgians are familiar
by now with the enabling
legislation passed in the last
session of the Georgia
Legislature which will provide
student tuition grants to
individuals attending
independent colleges within
Georgia, beginning July 1,
1972. Similar programs are
being carried out in some
three dozen different states
throughout the nation.
A modest effort of this kind
is already underway in our
neighboring state of South

Carolina, and on the other side
of us the Alabama legislature
will be considering similar
legislation at its next session.
Many Alabama leaders have
agreed that the plan offers
many advantages, and they
have listed nine specific points
in gathering the support of the
citizens throughout that state:
“(1) It is a program of aid to
the students. (2) It is a broad
program, available to any
citizen of Alabama who gains
admission to a private college
in Alabama. (3) It assures the
student freedom of choice. (4)
It tends to equalize costs
among the colleges and
universities.
Man Dies
Bullet In
The Back
66 year-old Sidney Pritchard
died from gunshot wounds in
the back allegedly fired by
Douglass, Georgia police.
According to reports,
disorders flared up in the
Coffee County town on May
11, 1971 and Pritchard was
one of several persons
wounded. According to reports
the Elder Black citizen was
walking in the opposite
direction from the flare-up
when he was shot once in the
right hip, and once in the right
rear shoulder. Pritchard died at
Talmadge Hospital June 30,
1971.

PHONEY MAGAZINE SALES
I am a policeman, and I just
received a very official
sounding letter asking me to
subscribe to a policemen’s
professional magazine. At first
I thought that the publication
was put out by an authentic
police association, but the
more I read the fine print, the
more suspicious I became. Do
you know if this offer is
legitimate?
Go on reading the fine
print; everybody else should
too. Georgia Consumer
Services has had a number of
complaints from people who
were led to believe that such
publications were put out by a
legitimate association, while
actually, the magazine really
had no connection at all
Policemen are not the only
ones who have been victimized
by such publications that
either implied or claimed to
represent an official
professional association, and
that the money would go to
benefit it. Among the others
are firemen, teachers, nurses,
members of labor unions, and
businessmen who were asked,
as a “civic duty” to buy
advertising in such magazines.
Some letters even make it
sound like the people are
obligated to subscribe to keep
their jobs.
In some cases, the
publication didn’t even exist,
while in others they were real
but of no particular value to
the subscriber. Before
subscribing to any such
publication, you should
carefully check it out with a
reputable professional
organization as in your case
probably the Georgia Peace
Officers Association.
DECEPTIVE GUARANTEES
Recently, I read that some
written guarantees were worse
than having none at all; yet,
people always say that you
should get a written guarantee.
Can you explain this?
Page 5
It IS usually best to get t
written gu a rantee.
Unfortunately, a guarantee
may be only as good as the
honesty of the company or
store behind it In some cases,
guarantees are even purposely
deceptive.
A guarantee is deceptive if
it does not clearly state the
product and parts that are
covered, what has to go wrong
with it to make a claim under
the guarantee, what
characteristics of the product
are guaranteed, what the
buyer must do to take
advantage of the guarantee
(like take it to a “authorized”
repai r dealer), exactly how
long the guarantee is good (six
months, one year, etc.),
whether the guarantee is for
repair or replacement, and it
must clearly name the store or
company backing the
guarantee.
Also, in the law there is a
doctrine called, “implied
warranty,” which means that
whether it’s in writing or not a
product must be in good
condition and do what it’s
supposed to do. Put simply,
if it’s a chair you have to be
able to sit in it, or if it’s a
television it has to show a
picture. You can bring action
against a store or company if
the merchandise does not live
up to the implied warranty.
While, in some cases, accepting
an express, or written,
warranty may cause you to
lose the value of the implied
warranty, as is may actually
limit what the store or
company agrees to do for you.
