Justice Warren 's ad dr ess , as we ll as the award in g of diplomas , will tak e pl ace at the Community Co n co ur se in downtown Sa n Di ego. The date sc he duled for graduation activities is Saturday , Jun e 2.

A baca la ur eate ceremony is plann ed for the mornin g of graduation. The Immacu lata Chapel on the US D ca mpus will be the s ite of this nondenomination al service.

Thi s year , for the first time in the law sc hool 's hi story, a different type of diploma w ill be awarded. Many st udent s expressed dissati sfac tion w ith the size of diplomas curre ntl y given. In response to thi s, Bill Woods and Mark Salkin , both

3rd yea r day s tudents, formed a self appo inted ad hoc co mmittee of two and attempted to sa mpl e s tud e nt opinion

A la rg e ma jority of stud ents poll ed indicated that th ey prefer red a dip loma which is significa ntl y s mall er than the prese nt one mea s uring 14 by 17 inches Though most students fe lt that a certif i cate measuring 81/, by 11 in ches wo uld be appropri a te , to co mpensate for a block of s tudent s preferring a larger size , a compromise was mad e. Diplomas will now be 11 by 14 in c he s.

Graduati ng se nior s are currently being poll ed to det er mine if there is interest in pr e paring an inform al yea rbook co ntaining pictures of gr aduates. Presentl y ther e doe s appear to be a great dea l of ent hu siasm concerning the project and plans will probabl y be annou nced shortly , s ubje ct to SBA confirmation of the funding.

Steve Daitc h, 1973-74 SBA Pr es id e nt El ect.

SBA in Perspective

Events transpir in g over U1e las t several days have prompted a great dea l of comment regarding student government. Th e "Great Election Fiasco of 1973" prompts one lo rec a ll past events caused by Student Bar indiscretion.

Certai nl y the Xerox affai r which nearly drained the SBA of a ll working funds cannot be forgotten. About four years ago the SBA decided that USD law students were greatly in need of a sophisticated duplicating machine - certainly a valid decision However , in acq ui ring the Xerox machine, they neglected lo provide a method by which students would be charged for each co py rece ived·. By U1 e end of the semester U1ere was a treme ndou s debt owed the Xerox Corporation , the SBA was responsible , and the result was a nearly bankrupt student treasury.

A few yea rs ago there was a telephone situated in More Hall in the gene r al area of the Writs (at that time ca ll ed Pag's Place). Th e telephone was for stu dent use

In tl10se days gone by perhaps student apathy was not quite so prominent , evidenced by the fact that this SBA service was used somewhat extensively. In fact , students made use of the telephone with such regularity that before too long the bill became quite large The reason for this " Telephone Cr isi s" (or perhaps the AT&T Affair) was that the SBA did not anticipate the possibility of the long distance ca ll Then , as now, USD was ab le to attract students from all over the country and these stud ents were not adverse to ca lling s uch places as New York , Virginia , and Dogwalk Illinois on SBA facilities Once aga in , near bankruptcy was the result.

It appears that over the years student governme nt s ha ve profited from the mistakes of their predecessors. Hopefully , this will be true of the Board Elect.

Certainly there should be a general election code No doub t in the future there w ill be However with or without such a code, the election-nonelection , and the trial tec hniqu es arbitratio n sessions should not have taken place. The protest of the election should have been resolved by the SBA itself , without soliciting the services of Dean Weckstein. Though it is commendable that the Dean would participate in such a situation, the responsibility for the election rested wit h the SBA , a nd this is where a decision should ha ve been made based on all of the facts surrounding the election.

By deciding upon "arb it ration" , and then a llowing the in vo lved candidates to selec t their advocating arbitrato rs, the SBA was essentiall y forcing the Dean to m ake a decision which actually rested with them , the overall authority concerning school elections.

The fact that the SBA was unabl e lo make a decision illustrates one reason why there is a significant amount of apathy at USD directed toward studen t government.

In a general sense , the 1972-73 SBA has been productive and has accomplished man y things as evidenced by t he president's report contained in this issue. While perhaps one might question the utility of seld om used bic ycle racks , and challenge the contention that the SBA had an y partici pation in the circu lation of the Woo lsack to members of the bench and bar ( to whom it has been se nt for over four years ), the SBA Board this year has largely been effect ive.

There were two programs initiated this year which ha ve been particularl y impressive. The Regular Student Hiring Committee has been ve ry effective in providing student input regarding new faculty at the law school. Hopefully the success of this project will prompt more student inp ut in critical matters affecting students at USD.

The establishment of an Attorney Research Service at USD was long. overdue Through the efforts of the Executive Board , this service became a r ea lity during the fall semester of this yea r. Not only has the project been of great bene fit to students but also th e quality of reliable and accurate work done by has generated praise in the San Diego lega l commumty. Act1V1t1es such as this wi ll greatly enhance the stature of USD in the future.

In summation , the 1972-73 SAB ha s had , as did its predecessors, both success a nd failur e. Hopefully the incoming administrat ion can profit by what has taken place this year.

Berk's Back

E ditor:

Perh a ps "Berk the Quirk " has fa il ed lo ack now ledge tota l neglect by USD's undergraduate women to become impressed by his suave and debonair mannerism. Chances are hi s lone lin ess can be att ribu ted to those barbaric a nd archaic rhetorical letters he has been submitting to the ed itors of Vista and Woolsack

I h ave visited the l aw library, s nack bar , and SBA office on severa l occasions ; how ever, I ass ur e you I ha ve yet to observe turning heads. And believe me I am no old bag! If a head had t urn ed an d it happened to, h ave belonged to Mr Berk I am afraid that I migh t ha ve regurgitated.

If by c hanc e Mr. Berk is co n sidering a l awsuit for sla nd er, after ha v in g read my previous stateme nt , forget it. Your total award for damages would comprise my a limon y and child support when and if my former hu sba nd ever d ec id es to pay.

I ag r ee t hat I hav e encountered several conceited male law students , but ther e are a few of my next door nei ghbors that I deeply repect. This respect for these individuals is not continge nt upon their anticipated professional goals , moreover , 1t was developed from my si n cere approach toward turning on to peopl e. Since I consider myself as a feminine Now woma n - who aspires to be an attorney - being in the same dwelling with a male law st ud ent is no big thing. Hopefull y, male la w students we re men before they become law students.

Mr. Berk wou ld do well to impro ve his perso nal image if he were to forgo his present tact ics for , at the pace he ha s begun lo trave l, he is a prime subject for a " nose job ."

Physically , Mr. Berk appears to be a part of the twent i eth cent ur y, yet the material he wr ites ma kes one compare with men who live during the Dark Ages.

Graduat in g from co ll ege during this period in history is like receiving a high school diplom a during the yea rs of the depre ss ion. In other words, a Bachelors Degree has become obso l ete F'urth e nnor e. the LSAT is on ly a profess ional tormentor design ed by Educationa l Testing Services to discourage und es ir ab l es from entering th e l ega l profession It pains me to admit it, but th e test fai led to do its job with Mr. Berk.

The undergraduate g irl s at USD have r easo ns to be conce ited Seventy-five perc e nt of the se spo il ed li ttl e g irl s are not dependent upon da dd y for th e ir und e rgraduat e expenses. Furt h ermore, the e nt e ring fr esh man class of fa ll 1972 had an ave r age GPA of :l .3 and SAT sco r es or. ov er 1000. Finall y, I am convi nc ed that th e "nunnery" is th e mo st sec ur e place for th ese littl e gi rl s lo be , if no oth er r eason than to protec t th em from boys li ke Mr . Be rk l ag r ee that nothin g is worth s acrificing life for es pec ia ll y if that noth in g ha pp ens lo be Mr Berk . Pe rhap s Mr. Be rk will rea li ze , and I hop e soo n, that he is on ly be gging for a mal e

law student and that happens to be him se lf.

Good lu ck Berk with your e nd eavors (w hi ch are a ntic ipa ted a ff airs) for with yo ur perso na li ty you are destined to be a lose r. I conc lud ed severa l weeks ago that my four year old son has more tact with wo men that you ever co n· templated havi ng the abi li ty to acquire.

May I s ugg est to the editor of Woolsack that he utilize the Woolsack for more meaningful purposes rather than allowing a neurotic male-chauvinist pig to beg for fema le bodies

Love a nd peace

Graduation Fees

Protested

E ditor : This year the cost of graduating from USD Law School is $35.00 Thi s price includes yo ur diploma, cap and gown , announcements , inv itatio ns, etc.

This is "per h aps " a reasonable price for what you are to receive , but this is not the topic of my article.

My complaint is that this price is mandatory whethe r or not yo u wi ll be attending the grad uati on ceremony.

Very early in the first semester I protested to the graduation comm i ttee that suc h a mandator y fee s hould not be requir ed from people who wou ld not be attending the ceremony. I was asked by the gr ad u at ion committee to submit a li st of questions and objections dealing with the problem of the mand atory fee for graduation , and whether or not the graduates desir ed to attend or would be ab le to attend the graduation ceremony. Thi s li st I wrote and promptl y gave to the co m-

mittee chairman. However , nothing was done with th ese suggestio ns even though T wa s promised by the committee chairman that the s ugge s tion s a nd questions would be published and distributed to third year day and fourth year eve nin g stud ents.

The topics of the qu est ions included:

(l l Whether the perso n was goi ng to attend th e graduation ceremo ny.

(2) Whether ca p a nd gow n sho uld be requir ed.

(3) Should the onl y cost to the no n- attending graduate be that of the diploma

(4) Other s ug gestions from st ud e nt s dealing with the grad uat ion.

If a person was given the opportunity as to whether or not he or she wanted to attend graduation, the graduation co mmitt ee cou ld plan accord in gly on how many peopl e would not roug hl y a' tt e nd. These people who did not expect to attend wou ld not ne ed the cap and gown , announcements , invitations , etc. and should not be req ui red to pay fo r them

Reasons do exist for not attending graduation.

(1) Your family wou ld not be her e.

(2) You have no fam il y.

(3) You have no one who cares whet her or not y ou graduate.

(4) Yo u know yo u will be some place else on that day

(

5) You will be preparing for ano her state 's bar in that other state

(6) Yo u d on't want to attend

Graduation is on June second thi s year. Thi s is approximatel y two weeks after schoo l ends for the se ni ors Someone who wants to take a bar exam in Hawa i i. Nebraska , or an y other state ma y desire to stay a round for two wee ks and go through the graduat ion ceremony. But if he doesn 't he s hould not be required lo pa y the full $35.00 fee. Th e same s hou ld be trn e for any other rea s on :or not attending the gradu at i on ceremon y.

SBA Secretary Explains Election Procedure

By Melida Jefferies

Du e to the in cr eased di s· cussio n cente rin g aro un d the elections and election procedures , I feel that it ma y help to at least ha ve an info r med base from which to work Therefore , I will set out the full scope of procedures used in running these last elections.

The elections chairman and member s of th e executive board met to discus s the ground rules It was decided that there should be a limit to the a mount of money which could be expended !) so that no candidate would be di sa dvantaged due to financial factors and 2) to limit mate rials etc cluttering the walls a nd w hich would ultim a tel y end up on the floor s of the law school for the custodians to clean up

According to th e by-laws th e nomination -period mu st run for two weeks. We set as ide one we ek for concentrated campaigning , although candidates could and did campaign prior to that week , the reason for thi s was !) in ord er to establish a spring semester to spring semester board of officers it was necessar y to have the elections as soon as poss ibl e and 2) th e longer th e tim e for campaigning is extended the greater chance that student inter es t will dis s ipate

Th e e lection dat es were se lected by c on s id e ring several factors. First , some students ha ve cl asses onl y on Monday , Wedn es d ay, and Friday , while others are in school only on Tu es da y and Thursday. Co nsequ e ntl y we had to hav e a co mbin at ion which would includ e both sets of s tudents There were required e vening courses eac h night , but the dat es sele cted had to includ e at leas t one cl ass of eac h night se lec tion.

Third year day a nd fourth year eve nin g were co nside red in ter ms of popular elect ives. Thi s resulted in th e electio ns bei ng he ld Mond ay-T ues day with th e run -o ffs on ThursdayFriday. Wed nesday was us ed as a time to get th e run- off ba ll ots t oge th er a nd for cla ssses to be inform ed as to wh o was in th e run -off Thi s was an attempt to avoid problems enc ountered la st year.

A co py of the electio n rul es , dat es a nd procedures was nmoff for eac h st ud e nt in the law sc hool a nd distributed by th e clas s re pr ese nt a tiv es. Thi s was fiv e d ays befo re th e nomin a tions opened. Th ere was also a large m as ter

Signs were on the blac kboa rd a nd bulletin boa rd s. It would be impossibl e to wa lk into the school an d not see so me e vid ence of elect ion s in progr ess. The Wool sac k ca rri ed pi ct ur es a nd state me nts fr om the ca ndidat es a nd the News lette r had announcements about th e elec't ions.

schedule of election da tes and times on th e s·BA bulletin Board.

As candidates submitted their res u me a nd picture, th ey we re posted on the wall fo.r students to read. If th e number of students seen reading those resumes is any indication , one might think there was a ctuall y student interes t in the election s.

Speeches we re set up to accommodate both d ay a nd night s tudent s. Candidates met Monday to discu ss election procedures and each candidate was again given the fl ye r with all th e election information and rule s.

Th e fir st set of speec he s was Tuesday at 12: 15. Onl y those that are us uall y in th e Writs at that time seemed to be prese nt. Note that c lass r eprese nt at ives were asked to mak e th e a nnoun ceme nts in their classes. Admittedly many w er e negli ge nt, bu t other s tud e nt s did tr y an d m ake announcements also. Tuesday eve ning e ven fewer student s at t en d ed an d We dn es d ay noon the ca ndidates agreed on their own initi at iv e not to spea k due to th e la ck of studen t interest.

The lac k of student interest in the s peech es was anticipated but due to th e attit ud e of man y s tuden ts and professors as expressed durin g las t ye ar 's elec ti ons in the candidates co me into th e classrooms , it was d ec ided that a differe nt a ppr oac h wo uld have to be taken Students did not feel th at th e ir class tim e should be encroached on a nd make-up cla sses, which many professors were dem and in g were diffi c ult to a rr ange a nd eve n mor e inconvient to atte nd

So our problem was to have a syste m where th e can did ates had as mu ch e xpos ur e as po ss ibl e without a forc ed c la ss ro om s itu ation. Co nseq ue ntl y, th e ro und -robbins we re se t up Tim es were set as id e for each cl ass to have th e oppo rtunity to talk with th e ca ndidates on an inform al leve l. Right a ft er a r eq uir ed class had en de d.

No one showed up , eve n a ft er th e a nn oun ce me nt had ju st been mad e in th e class Th e ca ndid ates fe lt that it was a waste of the ir tim e wh en no one showed so the y, on th e ir ow n accod, agreed to di sco ntinu e th e round -robbin s. At leas t s tud e nt s atte nd ed th e kegge r, but man y ca nd id ates felt I.hat thi s was a ve ry in e ff ec tiv e method of ex pos ur e. Announ ce me nt s were made re peated ly about th e elec tion s.

Th e polls were to be open from 9:00 a. m. to 8:00 p.m. Admitt e dl y, they opened an ha lf hour late Thursday a nd closed for 45 minut es Friday night of the run-offs. But perhaps night stud ents would be in te rest ed in knowing that the poll s staye d qpe n until 9: 15 Thursday night beca us e a profe ss or held hi s cla ss late. Basica lly , th e elections were d es igned to be fa ir to a ll a nd giv e the c andidates as much expos ur e as poss ibl e. Due to the st ud e nt attitude and pe rformance und er thes e voluntary sta ndard s used thi s year , the for ce d classroom s ituation seems to be the only sure method of giving candidat es th e opportunity to talk with a majority of stud ents. But students who were here last yea r might re memb er that when a cl ass found that their class tim e wou ld be used for s peeches, a la rg e portion of the clas s left.

Students we re given num e rou s opportunities under the proce dur e just outlined At this point , I would as k tho se who have be en com pl a inin g so bitter ly to see what a lternatives th ey co uld h ave s ugg es ted and , if th ey are inter ested in placing blame , to consider why the m ethod this yea r did not " wo rk ".

I su ggest that the s tud ents bear th e burden along w ith the class representati ves and the SBA board.

SBA Spending Justified

Th e principles of " appreciation " and " recognition " have been bitterl y attacked. Th e Student Bar Associat ion thro ughout the school year has operated on the vo lunteer efforts of a large number of students.

Thi s yea r more than ever before there has been a larger opportunity for a ll interested s tudents lo in vo lve themsel ves in stud ent ac tivities , projects and com mittees.

Time is va lu a bl e, especially when un selfi s hl y give n for th e ben efit of others with no anticipat ion of r ewa rd It is unfortunate when certa in indi vidual s become up se t with a limited ex pe nditur e for th e recognition a nd a pprec iation of the se un se lfi sh stud ents, but who have never spe nt an hour in co ns tructive involveme nt wh il e at US O Law School.

arbitrary arbitrator betrayed

by Ace Report er

Nobod y was surprised. The leaders of the SSBA (Student Sand Box Association) hav e been unabl e to make a decision all year. Polls have been taken to determine student opinion on such moving topics as Chanaukah parties, bare feet , restrooms for women , smoking, book lockers , bicycle racks , bulletin boards and the price of bagels at the Writs.

So when the SSBA proved themselves incapable of running a smooth election and declaring a winner, it was just business as usual - the y decided to have somebody else make the decision.

Turning to the only student wiU1 the requisite reputation of courtroom competence, Bernard Mouse was chosen to determine who would be "the leader of the gang that's made for you and me ."

Mr. Mouse graciously accepted U1e challenge and was named Assistant Dean of Arb itration. Hi s first task was to settle the GREAT ELECTION FIASCO OF 1973. His reputation for honesty and impartiality had been unreproachable. The following exce rpt from th e tran sc ript wil I adequately portray what Jaw s tudent s can acco mpli sh when the y lave sus mano s.

I wo uld , however, be less than honest if I didn 't admit that I expected as much "I see that the parties are present. Mr. Deutsch you are represented by your counsel.

Beas l ey indicated that he had two choices: e ither run for the j ob with a ll that he could mu ster , or re frain from ente rin g politi cs a nd cons id er him self a cowa rd for th e r est of hi s life. Mr. Beas ley is no cowa rd ; he is the only announc ed ca nd iate for the offic e of th e Presi dency of the Uni te d States.

Mr Beas ley is see king th e nomination of the Democratic Par ty. He fee ls th at the pl atform s of th e pa rt y in 1968 a nd 1972 were pure " ba ld e rd as h" a nd wo uld have a diffi cult tim e pass in g for the scr ipt of a midday T.V. soa p opera.

The ca ndid ate be li eves he is the one to g iv e th e party a "s wift kick in the hind-s id e."

Beas l ey ma int a in s Lh at I.h e Am e ri ca n elec torat e is "fedup " with ri ch men purchas in g th e office of th e pres id ency as a play thin g. Acco rdin gly, the re will be no ca mpai gn litera tur e, butlon s. bumper s ti ckers or purc hase d me di a tim e in the Beas ley Cam paign. He will co ndu ct an old fas hi oned "s tr eel" ca mp aign , spea king wh erever and wh eneve r he ca n mu ste r a c rowd.

On the iss ues, Mr Beas ley see ms quit e pr epared. He characte ri ze d th e War in Vie tnam as "a s tud y in national shame." Acco rd in g to th e candidate , women were a " nation al resource and s hou ld not be wasted in thi s our post war new beginning. "

On soc ial leg is la tion the cand idate co mmented: " If the American people want s uch legis la tion , th ey shou ld have it. But, the money appropriated for the poor should find its way to th e poor and not be soaked up by pe tt y bureaucrats. "

Beas ley noted that Webste r defined the word amnesty as " forgiveness ." He said that the men who left this country rather than fight in a wa r they felt to be i mmora l, will not want to be forgi ven for what the y ha ve don e. " One who acts out of a sense of honor does not fee l a need to be forgi v en for what he ha s done ."

Beas ley's campaign will not be aimed at any one group or special interest Beasle y contends that over ten million Amer ican s are st ill s hackled with lega l slave ry , but feels it is inappropriate for a Pres identi al as pi rant to inflame racial discontent for poten tia l gain at the ballot box.

Ha vin g seve red all business comm i tments a nd limiting cam paign contribut ion s to $499.00 , Beasley is ma king it imp ossible to appear that he ca n be bought. Ind icating that he will publish no nam es of tho se contr ibutin g to hi s campa ign as he intend s to li st onl y the numb er of those who cont ribut e and th e tota l amo unt co ntributed.

Mr Beasley is uniqu e. He chain s mok es fr om an FDR style ciga re tte hold er whi le fi e lding difficu lt qu es tion s with ease . His ma nn er flu ctuates from formal to th eatr ica l with a war mth running thr oughout.

For tho se who wou ld lik e to see a man who wi ll leave th em ba ffl ed a nd exc ite the ir inter est, Beas l ey wi ll be s peaking in Moo re Ha ll on March 30th at noo n. It is guarn nt ced to be an ex per ie nc e that wi ll not soo n be fo r gotte n.
