Syracuse Police Criticized For Neighborhood Response
In a four part series a social psychologist linked to the department argues public satisfaction rests on officers who know residents by name and face. Neighborhood groups from North and South Sides report slow responses, lack of visibility, and police reluctance to ticket violators. Residents recount blocked drives, public urination, and ignored disturbances at Riley's bar, prompting calls to the District Attorney and questions about citizen tow rights.

Supreme Court backs colleges on admission physicals
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that handicapped applicants have no right to admission if they fail to meet school physical standards. The decision curtails affirmative relief under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, reversing a lower court ruling against Southeastern Community College in Whiteville, North Carolina over Frances Davis. Justice Powell stated schools may require reasonable physical qualifications for clinical training programs. The ruling also allows consumer suits against price-fixing, with related notes on private school funds and a page reference.
