Students Hire Lawyer
Who Can't Defend Them
Dekalb, 111. (CPS) -- The
student body of Northern
Illinois University has hired a
lawyer who may have to tell
students to get themselves a
lawyer if the need arises.
Attorney Patrick Conboy was
hired by the student government
of NIU recently, but his contract
first had to be approved by the
Board of Regents. The regents
approved Conboy's contract, but
with the contractual agreement
that he could not represent a
student in court.
John Templin, legal counsel
for NIU, said there were two
reasons for the contractual
limitation. First, the salary paid
to Conboy is considered part of
state monies and "should not be
used against the state, in effect,
to sue the state."
Secondly, Templin
questioned whether it was
proper to "extend a portion of
every student's fee to support
the actions of an individual."
Robert Barr, chairman of the
Board of Regents, has
questioned both the legality of
Conboy's right to represent a
student, and the practicality of a
student body attorney.
Letting Conboy represent a
student in court would create a
legal and ethical problem, Barr
said, because the attorney would
be paid by a third party. This,
according to Barr, will create
"divided loyalties."
"You have a serious question
if the lawyer can do anything,"
Barr said. "If you try to give him

worthwhile duties you run into
the problem of whether those
duties are legal."
According to the Student
Association Student Legal
Assistance Act, Conboy was
hired to advise students
involving problems with
landlords, merchants, and
housing and job discrimination.
Since Conboy is not allowed
to directly act as a student's
lawyer, the Board of Regents is
now asking whether Conboy's
present function justifies the
$23,620 cost of the attorney's
office.
Co n boy , who draws a
$14,500 salary under the new
contract, believes he can aid the
students within the provisions of
the contract.
"I would consider quitting if
the program could not be made
effective this way," he said.
Conboy said that he hoped,
through participation of other
attorneys' to provide adequate
representation when necessary.

Unicef Responds to Emergencies
While public attention has
focused on UNICEF's major
role in helping victims of the
In d i a-Pakistan conflict, the
United Nations Children's Fund
was also called on to provide
emergency assistance for
mothers and children in 18 other
countries in 1972-72.
In Vietnam, UNICEF has
helped children wherever they
can be reached on both sides of
a seemingly endless war. But the
world has heard little of the
lesser emergencies, ranging from
floods in Afghanistan, Bolivia,
Malaysia, Yemen, and Algeria, to
earthquakes in Peru and Chile,
and cholera epidemics in
Ethiopia, Mali, and Nigeria.

Other man-made or natural
disasters beset children in Iran,
Jordan, Iraq, Morocco,
Madagascar and Mauritius.
In many instances, UNICEF
was required to divert
equipment and supplies from its
assistance programs in other
countires to meet these
unanticipated relief needs. In all,
UNICEF's emergency assistance
in the past year has called for
extraordinary expenditures of
more than $2l million.
A portion of this emergency
aid will come from the money
given to UNICEF in those,
familiar orange and black Trick
or Treat cartons.
