This week, as most law schools wind up the academic year, 342 students have applied for summer council jobs in the North as well as the South. A hard-eyed screening committee has picked 177, rejected 97, put 68 on a waiting list. The council is now looking beyond purely racial problems. At the University of Illinois, it has just held a "conference on bail and indigency" attended by judges, prosecutors, policemen and legal-aid experts. The University of Mississippi sent a student delegation. "We are interested in all constitutional rights of all Americans," explained one Ole Miss student. If the council goes on uniting law students on those grounds, it will be doing quite a job.
