Athletic Association (WAA), the University. The scholarship is fra full tuition, regardless of need. It will be made available to an incoming freshman woman who has participated in high school sports or who has shown an interest in sports through such activities as camp counseling, life guarding, YMCA or Jewish Community Center work, or any other similar activity. All applicants for the scholarship must meet the University's academic requirements for entrance into the undergraduate College. Miss Mulvaney said the nation's high schools are being notified of the program and are being supplied with application forms and other material. The State Supreme Court ruled that this prevented an abortion for the girl who had been a ward of the Chicago Juvenile Court even though a medical certification board at Michael Reese Hospital determined that she was suicidal. After the state' court ruling, the juvenile court released the girl from custody and she flew to New York and obtained an abortion. .

(1898-1935- What Judges Can Do UNDERSTAND THAT FELLOW HUMANS ARE BEFORE YOU J Women Athletic probably Those attending the opening session of the Leagues eightieth annual convention, held at Miami Beach, heard Mr. Farry declare there is a feeling in some quarters that major changes in the structure 1. Accept the office only if you are willing to work full time as a public servant 2. Stay awake. Pay attention, no matter how routine or dull the matter seems. 3. Run your own courtroom. Prevent prosecutors, lawyers, court clerks, politicians, or others from grabbing control. 4. Study. Attend seminars, special courses, and judicial conferences. Read current professional iournuls on recent decisions and mounting problems. 5. Try to see through your prejudices and quirks that may affect the quality of justice you are dispensing. 6. Recognize the judicial powers you have been given and use them carefully. Understand that fellow humans are standing before you, and that what you do will affect their lives, their families' lives, the county welfare budget, and the stability of the community. 7. Work carefully with other judges in the district and the state. Meet with them to see that justice is uniformly and fairly administered. Exchange ideas with them. Discuss sentencing, rules of evidence, and other basics. 8. Sentence no one to a juvenile home, mental hospital, jail, or prison until you have carefully examined the facility and understand its ability to cope with inmates. Be aware of serious shortcomings. 9. Urge all agencies that operate in your district to file a weekly report showing how many men are in jail, how long they have been held, and what the charges are against them. Large cities should follow the Los Angeles system, where daily checks are made and a complete list, punched out by a computer, is available to the public around the clocks. 10. In multijudge courts judges ithuuld be assigned according to experience and skill rather than by seniority or chance. Assignments should parallel their experience as lawyers whenever possible. 11. Teamwork In multijudge courts is essential. Establishing court rules, hours, and procedures should be a group effort. As in Memphis, no judge should consider going home or to the golf links until fellow judges have a clear calendar, with no cases waiting. Regular meetings to discuss law, trends, and difficulties have been found to be profitable. 12. Recognize the need for a a competent court administrator man with business experience or training in public administration. Work with him. Evaluate what he of the business are essential." He observed that the business has weathered some "very stormy periods in the past six years during which time the assets increased from about $130 billion to nearly $250 to billion, returning savings-loan- s the position they had held in the savings market before two rounds of tight money and disintermediation. Pointing out that some see the future of savings-loa- n associations as full service real estate lenders while others see it as family financial centers Farry asserted there is now no need to make a flat choice of either road to follow.

' Call your docket In order. Do not let your aides be persuaded or bribed into shuffling the docket when lawyers, witnesses, and those involved in the cases at the top of the docket are present. 17. Recognize that your first obligation is to dispense justice to the public not to please or appease lawyers. 18. Recognize that while settlements in civil cases are desirable, this is not necessarily the primary function of the judge. It can, in fact, reduce respect for the courts. As New Yorks Judge Bernard has said: "Forced settlements convert the courthouse into a Also recognize your own skill or limitations in hammering out settlements. It takes a special talent, and without it, you are wasting everyone's time. 19. Require lawyers to file certificates of readiness in civil cases to avoid delays. 20. Refuse to resort to assembly-line justice, regardless of congestion or other court problems. Instead, bring these problems to the attention of the public, to local units of government, and to state lawmakers. 21. Consider the use of key punch and computer operations to keep track of cases, making assignments, docketing, and researching courtroom problems.

One of 1972s pleasant surprises, said the League president has been the astonishing strength of the housing market. Mortgage loan commitments are at high levels, portending "a continued high rate of building and heavy demands for mortgage credit." Future prospects are further enhanced, he asserted, because in the last six years, the savings and loan business has diversified its liabilities, broadened its lending activities and developed new sources of support for conventional and government-backe- d loans. Despite the favorable outlook. Farry cautioned this is "certainly no time for complacency." He declared it imperative that associations assume a role in the electronic funds transfer system. Backs Silence On News Source NEW YORK (UPI A U.S. ap- peals court has ruled that Alfred Balk, editor of the Columbia Journalism Review, was justified in refusing to disclose a confidential source for a magazine article. It is axiomatic, and a principle fundamental to. our constitutional way of life, that where the press remains free, so too will a people remain free, said Irving Kaufman, who wrote the December 7 decision for the three-judg- e panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. |
