LAW cont’d from page 1 black lawyers as interns, one 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 succeded at the Lawyers v Constitutional Defense Committe by Stanley Halpin, a white lawyer from Lafayette, La., who has been an assistant in the New Orleans office. |||»GIA 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.” Equal Services Foreseen “The black community must be provided legal services with the same degree of competence that is available to other segments of our society,” the partners said.

TEBOW 1 ] ’ ‘ 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. One Anwser 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.

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. News—Review July 15, 1971 by the Georgia Consuiw Services Program 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.
