Rotarians Convene In Durham By GEORGE LOUGEB Herald BUff Writer A North Carolina jail inspector has described the Durham County Jail as being "among the best" and has credited Sheriff Marvin Davis with improving the facility Inspector Oscar Olive of Raleigh praised the jail in a recent tetter to the US director of jail services in Washington DC who gets reports on an Jails used to retain federal prisoners Olive said that before Davis became sheriff in Dec 1970 "the Durham County Jail was considered by this inspector as being one of the worst-admin- istered jails in the state that we had contact with Now it ranks among the best" Olive said Davis had provided television sets for each of the cellblocks "This keeps the prisoners oc-' cupied with a constructive ac- tivity reducing the boredom and is used as a tool to keep order and improve sanitation and cleanliness" Olive said He said no drinking water available in the cells of the cellblocks and therefore Davis formerly did not lock the individual cells at night This result-! ed in virtually a dormitory arrangement Olive said "At my suggestion only one cell remains open on each block after 10 pm and the resident of that cell is designated to carry water to anyone request- fng water during the night So far there have been very few requests" Olive said Four Duke Students File For Suffrage The Duke County Superior Court will decide whether four Duke University students win be allowed to vote in the May primary elections A suit filed by the students asks that the policy of the Durham County Board of Elections to deny

went on his way He finished his day at a Democratic rally in Raleigh expressed by other lawyers judges and court attendants and a system that continues to oppress the poor "Fifty-two per cent of the people in jail today are there not because they have been convicted of a crime but because of their inability to meet bail The peremptory challenge is used to exclude non-whites from juries The weight given to testimony is often still determined by the color of your skin your social background and sometimes your sex" according to Burns "The law la increasingly used for the repression of persons with unpopular opinion Burns said The speaker said signposts of repression include the increasing number of preventive detention proposals in legislatures today In Washington DC preventive detention is the law not a proposal" Burns said preventive detention is used to keep men locked up because they are thought of as "dangerous" "And you and I know who the dangerous people are in the view of the larger society" He said preventive detention actually exists in areas other than the District of Columbia "When you put $100000 bail on a person who is not making $100 week that's preventive detention" Burns said He said other signposts of repression' include no-knock laws police riots "the official murders at Attica" and the deaths at Jackson State at Orangeburg at Kent State feels taxes

To Arrest Oi Woman 29 The theme of North Carolina Central University's Law Day observance this weekend is "Law: A Technique for Survival" But according to Haywood Burns director of the National Conference for Black Lawyers law in the United States has been anything but an aid for survival for black people And Burns told an audience of NCCU law students things may be getting worse Burns said he felt that despite facts of racism and oppression "there is enough elasticity for lawyers to make a difference" "My clarion call is not to inaction but to use legal skill in a way in which it can contribute to the struggle for survival" Burns said "We lawyers should not be paralyzed by thinking of ourselves as agents of the system We have the opportunity to be double agents to be agents of the people to use the law against itself" Burns said that it had been the lawmakers and the courts who institutionalized racism in this nation "It was the colonial legislators who made the condition of bondage for the black man a lifetime condition and a hereditary condition The Constitution enshrines provisions for the continuation of slavery The 'slave codes' governed in oppressive detail the lives of black persons he said "Legislatures in the 19th century reserved the punishment of sexual mutilation for blacks and Indians Except for the brief period of Reconstruction the story of the 19th century is the story of an effort to deprive blacks of rights and powers they gained through the 13th and 14th amendments" The speaker said black lawyers and their clients daily face the legacy of racism in the law both the old-fashioned overt racism sometimes 'I Sanford Urges on Merchants OK Burlinqt Open Air Mall Downtown Catholic Daughters Betty Evans 29 of 417 Lakeland St was being held in

punishments of the "behavior mod" program are given through a point system For good behavior token points are given which may be traded for money free time special privileges in the house and other things "Points are awarded for work and ideas for the house friendliness and getting along with others for leadership and many other types of good behavior" Dr Wasik said "Almost everything the boys do wiU be under the point system" The resident boys are punished by having points taken away and also by having privileges revoked Another aspect of the Janus House is that it is dealing with boys within their own community "The traditional way of dealing with a delinquent boy" said Dr Peter Steinke director of the Janus House "is to send him to a reform school usually far away from his home The result is often an aggravation of the boy's problems What these boys need are social skills to deal with their community Taking them out of their community can only result in further alienation" Since the opening of the Janus House in early February six boys living within a few miles of the house have been accepted as members "Those boys are part of the 90 per cent of juvenile offenders who do not need to be taken out of their communities for training Only the other ten per cent are incorrigible" Steinke said' "In the family-like setting of the Janus House" he said "the boys are encouraged to express themselves their feelings their ideas and their gripes to the house parents Jennifer and Chris Ferguson" The Fergusons are a young couple specially trained in the concepts used at the house who permanently But several are returning home regularly The Fergusons said the boys have made progress One of the boys who had been a failing student has gained a straight A report on a quarter of school The Janus' House was originally proposed in the spring of 1970 by Rick Toppe then an undergraduate at the University of North Carolina He spoke with Dick McMaim of the Institute- of Government in Chapel Hill about a community-based social training school for delinquents and other young people in trouble When Toppe and McMann spoke to Dr Wasik it was decided that the house should use behavior modification in a program modeled after Advancement Place a a ccessful community-based center in Lawrence Kansas Funds for the Janus House were obtained through the Law Enforcement Assistance Agency (LEAA) of the US Justice Department UNC News Bureaa CHAPEL HILL With the opening of "Janus House" an experimental home for boys near Chapel Hill a new way of dealing with young people in trouble is being tested The purpose of Janus House Is to teach social skills to boys between 11 and 15 who have been in trouble with their schools or the courts To do this Janus House uses a "behavior modification" program which gives immediate rewards or punishments for different kinds of behavior Dr Barbara Wasik of the University of North Carolina's education department is working with the program as a consultant "The end that we are working toward" she said" is not to 'program' the residents' thinking or behavior It is to teach them the skills and give them the power to develop themselves and their roles in advise and discipline the boys "Every day after supper" said Jennifer Ferguson "we have a family conference where the house rules are discussed and through these conferences the rules may be changed If a rule seems unfair or if a boy thinks he has been treated unfairly the boys have a chance to state their case" For the first three weeks the boys are not allowed to leave the property except to attend school After that they are allowed to return home on the weekends and if their behavior is good are soon allowed more and more free time within and outside of the house As their privileges increase the point system is gradually relaxed and the boys are put on a "homeward bound" program where the rewards are mainly what Dr Wasik calls the "natural" rewards of approval and advice In the short time since the house opened none of the six boys have returned home WASHINGTON DC The North Carolina Committee for Continuing Education in the
