ing. While the right to appear in proper person should not be denied
to an individual, it should not be extended to a corporation.

2. It is our understanding that one of the underlying purposes
of the new District Court system was to establish a uniform system
of courts across the State with uniform jurisdiction and rules. Since
the provisions of Senate Bill 418 apply to only five counties, it is
contrary to the basic purpose of the system.

For these reasons we respectfully request that you veto Senate
Bill 418.

Very truly yours,

Lowell R. Bowen,

Chairman, Committee on Laws.

of Article 76A of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1971 Supple-
ment), title "Public Information," to add certain records of stu-

dents at public institutions of higher education to those records

to which the custodian shall deny the right of inspection. TO
CHANGE THE KINDS OF RECORDS OF STUDENTS AT ELE-
MENTARY, SECONDARY AND HIGHER EDUCATIONAL IN-
STITUTIONS WHICH ARE OPEN TO INSPECTION AND TO
CHANGE THE PERSONS WHO MAY INSPECT THESE REC-
ORDS.

May 31, 1972.

Honorable William S. James
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404

Dear Mr. President:

In accordance with Article II, Section 17, of the Maryland Con-
stitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 460.

This bill makes confidential, except to the State Department of
Education, certain records of public institutions of higher education.

The Attorney General has advised me that Senate Bill 460 has
a defective title and is, therefore, in violation of Article III, Section
29, of the Maryland Constitution. For the reasons given on the attached
copy of the Attorney General's Opinion, which is to be considered
a part of this message, I believe that this bill must be vetoed.

Sincerely,

/s/ Marvin Mandel,

Governor.
