-Law Degree Unnecessaru
Attorney General's Job Managerial
ers
By BOB DICKSON Kanyan Staff Writer
Critics said that Robert F. Kennedy lacked the legal experience to be attorney general of the United States. His brother, the President, answered, "He will get his experience somewhere."
Mixing with some of the finest mindual minks in the nation, the tenth president could pick up important expériences and know any of responsibilities. The tenth largely administrative, with provision for hirelings that will work in the office.
The State of Kansas Constitution followed the precedent of the national statutes. The State Attorney General not only is not required to handle any legal matter, but he is even required to be an attorney.
The only requirement the statutes place on the state attorney general is that he be generalized by eligible voters of the state.
A qualification controversy over the post of state attorney general arose last November when Vern Miller, then sedgwick County sheriff, was elected. Another degree from Oklahoma City University, although he never established a practice.
Miller drew criticism similar to that leveled at Kennedy. But the criticism of Miller seems just as unfounded as that of Kennedy. He would be more general with the power to staff his office with assistant attorneys general and special attorneys who specialize in each field of law. The governor grants these assistants with any necessary assistance during and thorough investigation and prosecution" may be carried out.

The attorney general is also required to verify all gubernatorial appointments and start new ones. Attorneys who are unqualified or irresponsible

Due to the nature of both of the above responsibilities, the attorney must pass on the opinion of a specialist in his hire. Even a practicing attorney is expected to specialize in all of the varied fields of law covered in the book.
The second practical legal responsibility would be advising any county attorney concerning a case of the legal opinion for the legislature on any question of law. Both of these must be researched by special investigators provided to the county general by legal statute.
Federal District Judge To Speak Here in April
"Judge Higginbotham is an outstanding speaker. He should be able to stand up for students because he is one of the most outstanding black jurors in the nation."
Higginsboth, who was vice-chairman of the National Commission on Prevention of Violence, will speak on the topic in a Finding Commissions to Justice in the Ghetto: Can We Bridge the Divide?
The Vickers Lecture Series was established by the Vickers family to enable the University of California at Berkeley to distinguish citizens to debate or discuss subjects vital to maintaining a free political and social environment.
Judge Higginstotham, 43, received his B. from Atocha Institute in 1952 and received his D. from Yale Law School in 1952. Sworn in as a United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in 1964, Judge Higginstotham became the youngest person to be appointed a Federal District Judge within the United States.
Judge Higginbotham, who holds seven honorary doctorates, is a trustee of the Yale Corporation, a visiting professor of economics at the University of Pennsylvania and a member of the Commission

on Reform of Federal Criminal Laws.
He is also a director of the NCAJ Legal, Defense and Education Commission. He is a member of Thomas Jefferson University, a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania and a director of the Council of YMCA's of the United States.
From 1956 to 1962, Higginson was a special deputy attorney general of the Commercia. Pennsylvania. In 1962 he was appointed President Kennedy as a Commissioner for the Federal Trade Commission. As a result of that appointment, he was the first commissioner of the agency and the commission level of any federal regulatory agency.

select a suitable head for the investigative force and assist in the selection of qualified staff. In most cases, a representative given the same powers as the sheriff of any county in the state. Yet the statutes do not give the attorney general the power to make a law-enforcement consultant.

He must also assume direct command of the KBI in matters which threaten the state through "compspiracy, combination, agreement in restraint of trade or fraud" of similar unlawful actions."
The attorney general of Kansas, like the United States attorney general, was a part-time job when created in the respective constitutions it has written. A 12-hour daily ministrative position charged with the responsibility of maintenance of the law.
With the increased specialization of actual legal affairs, the elected attorney general cannot hope to be qualified to handle all matters of litigation. The state poration disputes. He could at best, coordinate the efforts of his staff or legal minds.
He must also be responsible for maintaining law within the state. This is not to imply that an attorney should be law enforcement lawman. However, riots, campus disorders and civil rights are seldom restricted to a single jurisdiction. A statewide problem demanding state attention. In this respect, an attorney dedicated to law and justice should be the most popular choice.
If times have indeed changed as much as they appear, the era of a courtroom attorney in the capitol has passed.

The Athletic Corporation effort was reported in Wednesday's Kansan after the paper war notified by the Theodore Lund Jr.
Klataske said that he has three concerns about the program.
"First, mechanical methods of decorating the birds from a wire frame are ploried," he said. "They might be to put screens or holes in holes in the wall."
"Second, poison should be used that will not be passed on to other predators. It should be selective to those species they are trying to
