Falcione, '62, took an educational tour of Europe organized by one of the leading student-travel companies of the day. "I returned to the United States convinced that I could improve these student tours by offering better services more economically," Mr. Falcione recalled recently. "Things like using experienced tour directors, hiring local guides who knew their areas thoroughly, and putting people in 3 and 4 star hotels with private bathroom facilities rather than the lesser-quality hostels and student dormitories that were being used predominantly at the time." Mr. Falcione also thought that he could make Augustine Falcione ^™ 1 the trips more of a cultural experience where displays collection of tourists could actually "live" the language they plates depicting the were studying.

  • The Case of the Mysterious Accessory
    THE CASE OF THE MYSTERIOUS ACCESSORY R. BRucE TowNsENU* The American automobile has acquired another accessory. It comes on all models. This accessory, an impressive little item, is the certificate of title, which serves as the automobile's passport from dealer to owner to banker to thief, and more often than not, back to the dealer again. Often it embroils these characters in a mystery of deep legislation and dark case law. This mystery has found its way into the Uniform Commercial Code. The writer believes that he has a solution to this mystery. The illustration of the proffered solution will require a broad review of the legal aspects of the motor vehicle title problem as it has been created by legislation and judicial law. Upon this predicate may be described the role the certificate will play under the new uniform act, with special attention being given to its use as an instrument for imparting notice of liens. After this will come the solution. The slip of paper which serves as a certificate of title originated as a police device for tracking down stolen automobiles. With such a piece of paper a central motor vehicle agency is able to identify every automobile by engine serial number, keep informed of current ownership transfers, maintain permanent records, and provide the owner with an accessory which informs the public of his ownership rights. This certificate differs from the established negotiable instruments, the bill of lading, and the warehouse receipt in that it is no more negotiable than the automobile to which it is attached.
