FROM SBA PRESIDENT KWAME RAOUL

So now we are back in the swing of things. Hopefully, everybody has attended their first couple of classesfor the year and also attended the SBA Picnic (wishful thinking). Anyway, those of us who did' attend bothare back in the swing.

With a stroke of luck, by the time you read this, the SBA Board of Governors has approved the fall budget.After the approval of a semester's budget by the SBA Board of Governors, the SBA conducts a Presidentand Treasurer Hot Seat session where all the student organization leaders can congregate in a room to beannounced and yell at us for not somehow stretching our limited funds to grant you every penny you haverequested. Such a peaceful gathering will be held Tuesday at 3:30 p.rn, Rachel, I will bring a suit ofarmor for you, also.

After greeting all of the first-year students at orientation, I have discovered that the SBA Board ofGovernors is really go~ng to have to be on its toes to respond to your questions and requests. And thenumber .1 question from the health conscious One L's is -Why don't we have anywhere to smoke in thebuilding?- After hours of negotiations with Dean·Matasar in a smoke filled room (or was it bumping intohim in the hallway), I have been assured that there will bea place where that students will be able to gosmoke without freezing to death outside or polluting the lungsof·the rest of the Chicago-Kent community.This room will be available on the Concourse level before the semester is out.

All student organization members should stock up on change for phone calls. The abuse of the few hasagain made the many suffer. You will no longer be able to make off-campus calls on the phones located inthe student organization offices. The phones will still receive incoming off-campus calls. For a detailedexplanation student organization leaders may attend the meeting on Tuesday.

If you are unable-to make the meeting,.' will post office hours on the SBA office door.

Professor Bartram Brown worked on two pro bono human rights cases this summer. He wrote an amicusbrief in June for Amnesty International in a case before the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.The case challenges an Executive Order issued last May according to which boatloads of Haitian asylumseekers on the high seas are intercepted by the United States Coast Guard and returned to Haiti withoutbenefit of a hearing as to their claims for asylum. The Second Circuit ruled in favor of the Haitians, but theBush Administration has appealed to the Supreme Court. Professor Brown is now preparing a draft ofAmnesty's Supreme Court brief. In July, Professor Brown assisted the NAACP in drafting a petition to theInter-American Commission on Human Rights of the Organization of American States in the death penaltycase of William Andrews. The petition alleges that Mr. Andrews was sentenced to death through a raciallytainted and discriminatory procedure which violates the American Declaration of the Rights of Man.

At the. end of its last term, the United States Supreme Court adopted Professor James Lindgren's theory ofextortion as the law of the land in Evans v. United States. The majority opinion by Justice Stevensfollowed Lindgren's arguments and research so extensively that the dissent by Justice Thomas complainedabout the heavy reliance on one article. Lindgren opined, "I was very pleased and flattered. I had spentthree years digging through obscure cases and court records in three languages establishing that since the1200s the Anglo-American crime of official extortion had included takings by bribery. I was surprised thatthe Court cared enough to get 'it right. n .

Finally, Professor Nahmod was interviewed by Joel Daly of ABC-TVregarding the Supreme Court's religion decisions and he was on a panel of First Amendment experts onWBEZ-FM as well.

His first workshop was on "Formation of a Nonprofit," and covered topics in his briefguidebook on the steps lawyers should take in organizing nonprofit corporations.

In July,Professor Wright was invited to consult with the Academic Liason Group of the Association of AmericanTrial Lawyers during the Association's annual meeting in Washington, D.C.

Students United for the Public Interest

Students United for the Public Interest (SUPI) involves what the name implies -- a group of students atChicago-Kent who have a common interest in finding a means to practice law through which they can helpto build a more just society. Many alternative paths lie beneath the umbrella of what is known as "publicinterest law."

It is the purpose of SUPI to broaden and promote the opportunities for individuals to work in the publicinterest, both while students at Chicago-Kent and later as attorneys. We wish to organize and implementprojects and programs that will assist students in taking control over the paths they take as law studentsand lawyers, not to be passively "placed" by the workings of the market and established attitudes, butrather to choose an alternative practice or field, or find a place in an otherwise traditional practice," whichfurthers the provision of legal services to all members of our society. Chicago-Kent has a tradition ofproducing lawyers that make these choices. The members of SUPI do not wish to see this tradition passunder the strains of law school and practice in the 1990s.

Watch for an announcement of our organizational meeting in an upcoming Record. If you would like to talkto someone about SUPI, e-mail GBELL".
