BAR HOPPING TO D.C. MAY END By Rod ileard

Amicus Staff

There are three basic n eed s for most Mar­s hall-Wythe student s : a brunet t e scholar s hip, Gilbert's on Constitutional Law, and invid­ious rumor s to pas s along .

We at the Amicus don't have any extra bru ­nettes (not tha t we ' re talking about anyway), and you 'll n ever know how much we ne e d Gil­b e rt ' s , s o here's a p e rnicious rumor .

According to Howard Ro s enthal of the Advocate (the news p a per of the National Law Center), the United States Court of Appeals for the Di s trict of Columbia is expected to a nnounce s oon that this s pring the six -month reciproc­ity law for bar admit tanc e will b e r eplaced by a five -y ear law.

Rosenthal says that law school placement of­fices and law firms hav e been foreshowing the change and a sourc e close to the government desc ribed it as " well beyond the rumor stage . "

What thi s means is that those who plan to take a s tat e bar exam, prac tice for six months in that s t a t e and t hen be admitted to th e Di s trict of Columbia bar without taking an exam, might find th emse lv es arr iving in their mahogany-pane ll ed D.C. off ic es four a nd on e - half years pr emature ly.

ENVIRONMENT GROUP TESTIFIES By Morgan Scott

Amicus Curiae

Approximately s i x ty persons gathered at the 06tob e r 20th meeting o f the Virginia Wetland s Commi ss ion at 10 : 30 in the morning in the York County Courthouse , Yorktown, Virginia, to hear t estimony d evoted to the probl em of wetlands protection and control. Among inter ­ested persons offering testimony were memb ers of the Marshall - Wyth e Environmental Law

Group .

Two law s tudent s , Woody Turner and David Favre, offered testimony in conjunction with the introduction of a proposed wet l and s pro­tection bil l drafted by the Environmental Group.

Woody Turner, first of the l aw students to

s peak, point ed out the need for state regula­tion and control over the wetlands as opposed to local control by s uch means as zoning. Hi s main point s were the lac k of localities to offer uniform l eg i s lation conce rning the wet­lands and the diffi c ulty of enforcement on a local level .

David Favre ' s t es timony exp laine d the pro ­po sed s t a tut e a nd th e po li cy unde r which it was dra f t ed ( fairn ess to a ll parties in­volved). Favre a l s o urg d the need for p ro ­tection, pointing out the fact that the wet­lands were a vital link in the wa t er ecosy s ­t em. Favre also s poke of the problem of de[­inition of the wet land s , a probl em whi c h di­r ec tly affect s the qu es tion oE s tat e control of the areas and the lDnit s of s u ch control . Favre noted that the Group propo sed a p e rmit

EDITORIAL SEPAlM.TE GRADUATION: The curr ent message com­ing forth from our illustrious Pr esident, Alan Enderle , is that we wi ll no t see a separa t e gradua tion cer emony at the college f or t he l aw school this year . The general i ndi cation, as s tated by Mr. Enderle , is tha t members of t he faculty of nill COLLEGE seem t o have some mi s ­givings ove r such a progr am. Such profound reasoning as statements to the e f fect of , " if we l et the law school have it, a ll of the other graduate departments will .lant t o have their own private graduation," seem t o be the basis of the denial t o our r equest.

This wr iter wou ld like t o know who those aca­demic wizards think they are kidding . Th i s law schoo l is no l onger the l one "chair" of l aw that it used to be . We are not t he Wil­liam and Mary Law Schoo l , bu t rather the Mar ­shall-Wythe School of Law . We do not purport to equate ours elves with other so-ca l led grad­uate progr ams.

We ar e , in point of Eac t , a separa t e enti ty. A viable and e ne r ge ti c conmluni ty of professors and students. We ar e no t a "mer e department," and we resist being place d in an ever wai ti ng pigeonhole by our liber a l arts friends . We boas t of a higher passage rate on t he Virgini a Bar Examination, than our U.Va. coun terparts ar e abl e to point to. We have an ac tive En­vironmental Croup which is DOING some thing about the We tlands criSis, rather than making show-stopping headline s in the local college tabloid.

To my colleagues in th e law school, I would simply s uggest that no matt e r how loud we shout we will continue to be rul ed by a bure a­ucracy of education. It i s predi c t e d they will continue the ir policy of nonr ecogni t i on of this schoo l as an entity, until s uch time as the l egislature may indi cate that it i s the proper thing to do. A furth er suggestion, to those of you who wi ll graduate from t hi s sch­ool in the near and di stant f uture, would be that when we rec e ive those "handy-da ndy" lit­tle envelope s soliciting our Suppor t mone t a r­ily for the "college" in our s t a tu s as a lumni , we ought to give a second thought to c ontr i b­uting . Whether some individuals begin a con­certed pr ogram of deferring all alumni contri­butions until we do get a separate graduation ceremony, is, of course, up to the students of Marshall-Wythe.

A FAIR and IMPARTIAL cons i de r a t ion of arate graduation idea by t he " power s i s a ll we a sk. A negative deci s ion be s upported by VALID reasons . ::

Dear Dean Donalds on:

It had been my understanding that no firm or organization whi ch discriminated in hiring on the bas i s of sex or race was to be permitted the use of the placement facilities of this law s chool. I had been informed that letters to po t enti a l employ er's invi ting their appear­ances c ontained a s tatement of this policy.

I wis h to draw to your attention the attached brochure , presente d by the Federal Bureau of Inves t i gation, which on its face describes a policy o f hiring in violation of the school's a nnounce d policy.

I res pec tfully r e quest t hat the school take steps c lea rly to inform the Federal Bureau of Inve s tiga tion of its placement service policy, and t o prohibi t further interviews of this

~ agency here until the discriminatory hiring ,., s t an dards o f the agen cy a r e e limina ted.

B RRISTERS' BRIDES By Anne Dri sco ll

Behind every great man stand s a woman !

. .. s ometimes t el ling him he is wrong, per­haps, but whether s h e ag rees or disagrees with hi s politic s , hi s s porting pur s uits, or the fac t t hat h e likes to ea t potato chips in b ed, s h e will n eve rthe l ess always want the very bes t for the particular " great man" in h e r li fe . And we law wives are no exception. Wha t i s more, we now have a unique way to prove it.

In a n earlier edition of Amicus , Earle Lees -­a third - yea r s tudent and S .B. A. class repre­sentative- -re ported on a survey he had taken of the senior class con cern i ng the possibili­ty of a separate gradua t ion for the Mar shall­Wythe School of Law. Of fo rty - s ix s tudent s poll ed, forty-four vo t e d y es and two, no. The result s of this publi s he d s urvey a nd the en­s uing wave of interest caused the s ubject to be ra i sed at the October mee ting of the Bar­ri s ters' Brides. Whil e a poll of every mem­ber was not taken a t the t ime, it wa s appar­ent that the genera l tenor of the mee ti ng was one of enthusia sm and support fo r any endeav ­or made i n pur suit of this idea- - thi s desire, if you will- - to a s uccessfu l conclusion.

S.B.A. REPORT By Alan Enderle

Pres ident, S.B.A.

There have been a number of developments in areas of S .B. A. concern with which you should be apprised. Although many of these mat ters have been reported in meetings of the Board of Directors, I r ealize that most s tudent s cannot attend these meetings. You s hould be aware, however, that the minutes of all meet­ings are po s ted as soon as practicable so that you can keep abreast of what has been done and what is under consideration.

ELECTIONS: The f irst -year class has chosen J ohn Miri, Jim Murray, and Lamont Newsome as their representatives. It was gratifying t o see s ixteen well-qualified stud ent s campaign for these posi tions. The e lection went smoothly except for some disgruntlement re­garding al l eged violations of the elec t ion rules in respect of campaign material s bein g

affixed to walls and door s. Those involved were informed of the s itua tion and cooperated in removing most of the material. Undeniably, some violations went undete c ted by S .B.A. of­ficers and i t was thi s that caused concern. As S.B.A. President, I had the authority to take strong action but fel t tha t s ince the rules are n ew thi s year, the student s in­volved are n ew, and that the most important objective was s trong first - year representa­tion, I would take only s uch action as would m~n~mi ze any unfairness that might re sult. Anyone who points to the letter of the rules as having been violated s hould a l so know that the r ules prov ide for prot est to the Judicial Council. Ap parently, no one felt s uff icient­l y aggrieved to have filed a protest as per the letter of the rules.

PARKING: Mr. W. P. Batche lder, Chairman of the Pari s h Board at the Williamsburg Bapti s t Church, has informed the S.B . A. that its re­quest for use of the church parking l ot has b een denied by the Board. Mr . Batchelder cited u se of church facilities for the Head Start Program and increased church activity during t h e week as the Board ' s reason. He ~said that there is no po ss ibility of recon­""sideration. Dean Whyte, a member of the

church and of a committee which considered our r equest, has confirmed that there i s con­siderabl e opposition to permitting our u se of the lot. My pers onal thanks go to Dean Whyte for championing our cause.

LIBRARY NOTES: In accordance with inquiries from several students, I have asked Dean Whyte to change the library hours so that it opens earlier on Sunday. He refused, saying only that "it is not unreasonable to keep the library closed one-half day a week and the students s hould use that time to take a break from the ir books."

Dorathea Peters, s tudent member of the Li­brary Committee, has been informed by Mr. Whit ehead that for study purposes students may use the Wren Annex on Sunday morning s . The j anitor there will let them in.

COFFEE BAR: Jim Murray, fi rst-year represen­tative, is undertaking a s tudy of the coffee bar operation. You may contact him with your s uggestions or leave them in the S.B.A. office.

DIRECTORY: The school directory should have a rrived by the time this reaches print. There are two reasons for its late appearance. First, there was an error made by the print­er . Secondly, it took the S.B.A. longer than planned to collect the da t a. We met un expec t ­e d and unju s tified oppo s ition from the Law Schoo l secre tarial s taff to our plan of in­cluding the data s heets in the regi s tration materials and having them collected at that time. Consequently, we ha d to assemble the data on a piecemeal basis. It is pla nne d to publish a s uppl ement nex t seme s ter to cover address changes.

ALUMNI RELATIONS: Dean Whyt e ha s r eceived mor e than $500. for the Woodbridge Loan Fund as a result of S.B.A. so licita tion in a l e t­t er to alumni. Tha t is sti ll a paltry s how­ing. Keep it in mind when your affluent day s a rrive!

SEPARATE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES: The College Board of Student Affairs, to which I am a delegate, along with Mr. Williamson of the facu lty, has b een directed by College Presi­dent Graves to submit a proposa l for Com­mencement Exerci ses . I am on the comnlitt ee and will represent the l en" s tud ent s ' de s ir e for their own c e remony. Dean Whyt e has re­minded me that the Law Schoo l faculty mu st also a pprove of s uch a plan. I trus t that they will take no action without hearing d i­rectly from student r epresentatives. Tent a ­tive readings indicate opposition among mem­bers of the co llege co~nunity to a separate Law School graduation, primari ly from the faculty.

h e s trives for appropriat e r ecognit ion of hi s accompli s hment, you are by no means alone. Thi s s hould be equally important to those of us with hus bands in the first and second years, if we wish to see a precedent se t by th e third-year " pionee r s ."

For those of you who are not entirely clear as to the cur rent pro c edure fo r graduation at thi s College, I am told that the hard-earne d degree of Juris Doctor is conferred upon the clas s en masse with all the c limax of a wet firecracker, the recipient s mere l y ri s ing as one from their seats on c u e . Hardly an aus­picious or worthy reward for three hard y ear s i n the study of law and a total of nine t een years of e duc ation .

The fact that only nine s tudent s from t h e La w School attended their graduation exer cises las t year would seem to indicate that the consternation s hown by our s enior c l ass is not new, and that the wind of change n eed s to blow through the ha ll s of Mar s hall-Wythe in this resp ect.

Men and women of the third -year c lass, we ap­pla ud your e ffort s to secur e i nd i vidual rec­ognition of your great achievement. We look forward to a ceremony in which we may a ll j o in t o extend our congratulations at the end of the s e three y e a r s a t the Marshall-Wythe School of Law. ::

I CAN 01& THAT Bl.AeJ( LEIER LAItJ BAev!

: OUT FOR SPORTS

DUE RECOGrl IT I ON By Wa lt Stowe

With one game remaining on the ir nine-game s chedul e , the first -year fo otba ll team (the Bandi t s ) , have enj oyed cons i de r able success . The up s t a rt s o f t he independent league and undi sput ed (by everyone but the Bench- - s ec­ond - and third-year t eam) Law Schoo l champs hav e po s ted a 7-1 record .

The Bandi t s ' only loss came at the hands of the Jags, a l ongtime power of the Independent League . To dat e , the Jags are 8-0 , but play a v ita l game with the Bench. Should ou r up ­per - c l ass bre thren defeat them--the Bandits and the J ags wou ld be t ied fo r firs t place and a play-of f game wou l d r esult.

Featuring a powe r f ul offense , l ed by the pass ing of Curt Cowa r d and the running of Greg Giordano , the Bandi t s aver ag ed twenty­f i ve point s pe r game . Th e pass -receiving

•co rp s was pac ed by J u lian ~aney , Bob ~chultz, Dan Shipley, Bob Halkowi ch , and Giordano. Wa lt Stowe , Tom Smi th, and George Campbell provided mor e t han adequa t e pro t ection f or the qua rterbacks, l ed the Bandit s ' ViCiOUS sweeps, and even managed to haul in a f ew passes i n the meantime .

On the defensive side , opponents ave r aged on­l y t en points per game agains t the hard-nosed crew . Dick Hackman led the team in intercep­tions , Jim Murray wa s the other cornerback, and Larry King was the safety. The pass rush was led by big Charles Allen and Lamont New­some , until the latter abandoned the football field for politic s .

In retro spect, it was an excellent season. Hope fully , next year--with more experience and toge therne ss -- the Bandit s wil l bring the Intramural Footba ll crown t o the Law School.

cu r r en t Rumor s : Rumor has it that John Hooke r ;as told tha t " Gr e t chen" was not an eligible memb e r of h is bas ketba ll t eam, and that Ri ck (The Pis t o l) And er son will wear his U. S. Mar-

Someone had fraudulently i nserted Tom Max­we ll' s name as winner of the Fall Tenni s Tou rnament. Rumor has it that when Pete Motti, possibly Maxwell ' s next opponent , saw
