KAMU will begin its auction at 8 p.m. April 13 and end at about mid night after five consecutive nights, said Hyden. The event lasted three nights last year, she said, but it will be expanded this year because of the good support by donors in the past. The auction will be organized so that merchandise will be posted on one of six boards, Hyden said. Four of the boards will each con sist of one of the letters from KAMU so that items can be easity referred to. A fifth “quicky board’’ will be for smaller items such as feather jewel ry.

Inm a tes ’ legal fees ust be paid by sta te killing United Press International WASHINGTON — The Supreme 'ourt Monday let stand a ruling that te state of Texas must pay $39,000 t fees to a lawyer representing in- tates who had filed suit to overturn ules against prisoners helping each ther on legal matters. The justices declined to hear an ppeal by Texas from a ruling stating must pay the fees under a 1976 tderal statute even though the ser- ices were performed before the law wk effect. The case arose in 1968 when some exas prisoners filed a class action uit contesting the Texas Depart- lent of Corrections prohibition of dsoners giving each other legal ssistance. The prisoners lost in federal dis- ict court, but the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the deci sion, holding the state could not en force such a rule until it provided an adequate legal assistance program for prisoners. But the state corrections depart ment continued to enforce its pro hibition and, in 1972, the prisoners renewed their suit. Federal courts ordered the state to allow any mutual legal aid on any civil legal matter. William Bennett Turner, the lawyer for the prisoners, then sought legal fees under the Civil Rights Attorney’s Fees Awards Act of 1976. The law took effect in October of that year — two months before the final arguments were made in the case before the 5th Circuit. A federal district court awarded the attorney $39,000.

Texas Attorney General Mark White appealed to the U.S. Sup reme Court, arguing the lawyer fees could not be awarded for services rendered before the effective date of the act. White maintained the 11th Amendment of the U.S. Constitu tion bars Congress from imposing a retroactive demand on a state’s treas ury, and said the lawyers’ fees could amount to over $300,000., In re sponse, Turner said the state had paid — without protest — $181,000 to the Houston law firm of former Gov. John Connally in a prison rights case where the “great bulk of ser vices were rendered prior to the 1976 act.” DEMO as- CLEARANCE We’re Spring Cleaning and that means $avingsfor poul It’s time to move out all our demos fast, so we’ve slashed all our prices to rockbottom!
