Volunteers in community . . . Poor get A number of University faculty members and other Lincoln residents are volun teering their time to help give poor people legal assistan ce. English instructor and secretary of Justice, Inc., Mark Dupree, said since the group has gained public notoriety, they have had a "phenomenal" number of calls from people in need of legal assistance. Justice Inc. was founded a year and one-half ago by Paul Olson, director of the Tri University project. Dupree said 75 per cent of those seeking help from the group reside in the Malone area. "There has also been a great need for our services in the academic community," Dupree said. "Money is not so much a problem with students as it is with our poor citizens," Dupree said. But he made note that his organization Is not federally funded and, therefore, not restricted as to who and what type of cases it can work with. He added that since many of the members of Justice Inc. are affiliated with t h e University, they can be especially helpful in giving students advice. Besides providing assistance, Justice Inc. members are also doing research on recurring types of cases and existing discrepancies in the law, Nebraska ii Want Ads FOR SALS 1947 Camero SS, 459, 4-peed tap. 434-1 Be. 1W8 Yamaha IN Street Scrambler.

II legal assistance Dupree said "The bail-bonding system is one of the major problems we're researching because poor people often do not have the money to put up for bail," he said. The alternative to this system is called the "property bond," but he said most of the Justice Inc., cases involve people who own little, if any, property. Problems with the bail-bond system include potential discrimination and high bail rates charged to people who might not be guilty. President of Justice Inc., Earl Barnawell, professor of zoology said he has been working on a case which might involve d i scrimination. Barnawell described the case as follows: "A minority student went to a local bar.. He tried to cash a check, but was refused. The student had cashed a check there before and the check was good. "When he was told that his check would not be accepted, he left the bar, and closed the door on the way out. The win dow in the door fell out. But part of it was already damaged and had been put back together with tape or some comparable repair substance. "This occurred at midnight, Combo Equipment Best Buys 144 S. 9th 432-7305 COIUDGMIS)!

Barnawell said Justice Inc. was able to help the student by referring him to one of the group's volunteer lawyers. "You don't usually hear of a white man being roused in the middle of the night for break ing windows," Barnawell said. The county attorney concurred with his opinion that discrimination might be i nvolved in the case, he added. The case is now pending. But Barnawell said things like this happen every day. "Many times the poor and underprivileged have no legal recourse." "What we're trying to do is contribute to law and order by showing the poor that the law protects them as well as everybody else," Barnawell said. "If people have no legal representation, then they might circumvent the law, especially if they believe the law is not on their side." , &0'00O0OO0g o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Q 20 OFF on Sylvania Blue Dot Ftashcubes (with this coupon only) CAMPUS BOOKSTORE 03OOOOOOO3Q All Color TV Omtr Chamber workshops planned A statewide Chamber Music Festival designed to "sweeten the orchestra situation" in schools was recently organized by Louis Trzcinski of NU's School of Music. Trzcinski, associate professor of string .instruments, said "more string players in the schools and community are needed. A strategy of en couraging and developing the chamber music principle in the schools will ultimately provide better string players." Chamber music is performed by small ensembles of string instruments, sometimes with a bass instrument or piano. This allows more segments of the school population to be involv ed, he said. Small ensembles are the answer for schools unable to generate enough interest for an entire orchestra, Trzcinski continued.
