"People should know that in misdemeanor casts, a lawyer is often indispensable," said Mark Dupree, member of the group's directing board. He explained that court appointed lawyers are only available in felony cases. "However, a poor man going home from a partv can sud denly be hit with a $16 fine for public drunkenness or $250 in legal fees," he continued. "Minority group members or poor people can least afford to pay that money, yet thev are the ones most often charged," he said. Seeks improvement The group Is trying to seek the support of the legal com munity and to enlist a team of lawyers sensitive to the needs of the poor and willing to donate help, Dupree said. He added that more than $600 has already been spent for legal aid, and that now Justice, Inc. is in need of more money. The idea for the group was originated by Dr. Paul Olson, of the Tri-University, as an ef furt to Drovide aid for the defense of Omaha Black leader Ernie Chambers, who was ar raigned on a concealed weapons charge. Seven University faculty members and Herbert Fried man, an attorney, comprise the directing board. Faculty members are board president, Ernest Barnawell, of the Zoology department; Dupree, English; Tom Holland, English; Jim Johnson, Architecture; Jim Levine, English; and Steve Voss, Philosophy. Dupree said Indian and Black board members were being sought. Since it's founding In July, the group has dealt with a "deluge" of cases many deal ing with minority group citizen, the poor and with students. CINCUT ISM ALIO (199 T l7 . 1 1. ) L i z , : if .

He cited the case of a man who claims he has been denied his vacation pay and is trying, with the aid of Justice, Inc., to seek restitution. Apparent misunderstanding In another instance, a foreign student, who does not speak English well, was Involved in an apparent misunderstanding over some cigars at a local store and was arrested and kept in jail for a day. Friends and relatives who called the jail were told he was not there, according to Dupree. Tuesday night police ap prehended a girl at Lincoln's Indian Center suspected of running away from her foster home. Dupree said that the In dians apparently were quite offended and embarrassed by what one called the "im politeness and curt manner" of the police. Dupree, a member of the In dian Center organization, said police habitually show up at meetings at the center and that their recent action "competely SUINT"BOWL TKIP Sponsored by Nebraska Union Leave Lincoln Dec. 19 to El Paso.

As a result Indian spokesmen will meet today with Lincoln Police Chief Joe Carroll to confront him with their questions and complaints. "Some of the people think their rights to peaceably assemble have been infringed upon. Indians are looking for some sort of control of their own lives, and the police seem to be discouraging this." Dupree said. "Once the police are curt and insensitive, this entourages in sensitivity on the other side," he added. "You can't blame minorities for being upset, and they're going to the police to ask why things are this way." "Our organization wants more than anything to try to establish some rapport between the police and the poverty community," Dupret said.
