Dear Alumni and Friends,

That problem is still our mostdifficult. The school has grown 60%in students over the last five yearswith only a slight increase in fac-ulty. We have 950 students this fallwith a faculty of 35 full time equi-valent teachers (including part-timeprofessors and lecturers at theirproportional rate).

Faculty teaching loads have in-creased 30 to 40 percent in the lastfive years. Our classrooms are socrowded we have had to turn awaysome stu den t s from some basiccourses-Constitutional Law, Cor-porations, Evidence, and Real Es-tate Transactions. Our I a r g estclasses range from 150 to 190students. The l ibra r y has insuf-ficient seating space for the numberof students to meet' accreditationstandards.

Dean, Continued

Last spring, with the help of thereports from the Visitors-AlumniBoards and the ABA-AALSaccred-itation team, we received enoughmore money for five young teach-ers. The money came too late-after the hiring season was over-to be used this fall for regularteachers. We are using much of itto compensate members of the barwho have pitched in to help on atemporary basis as lecturers.

In the preparation of the school'sbudget for the two years beginningnext July, we were required to planfor a 7.5 percent cut-which willwipe out about three of the fivevacant positions gained last spring.We have, of course, requested theincreased funds necessary to add toour faculty at least the thirteennew teachers recommended in theaccreditation report. The Board ofRegents approved much of our re-quest. But, in this year of tax-payer revolt, the experts are pre-dicting a decrease rather than anincrease as the result of the bud-get review by the Governor and theLegislature.

I seek your advice and help onhow to deal with this, the school'sgreatest need at this time.

GARGOYLE IN WASHINGTON

TWO AMONG MANY fASCINATING ALUMNI

A recent report of the ABA Task Force on the future of the LegalProfession indicates that in Washington, D.C., there is one lawyer forevery 47 persons. Many of these are Wisconsin alumni. What followsis the career stories ofjust two of them.

* * * * * *During the last part of October,

the Gargoyle had an opportunityto visit on their home g r 0 un d(Washington, D.C.) with two dis-tinguished alumni-Ernest Feidler,'34, and Ed Garvey, '69-both in-volved in law-related occupations,necessary and important work, butnot the traditional practice of law.On the face of it, they have littlein common, so different are they inage, background, and careers.

Yet they share with many otherLaw School alumni the fact thatthey got started professionallythrough association with ProfessorNathan P. Feinsinger. Mr. Feid-ler's first job when he graduatedfrom Law School was assistingProf. Feinsinger with a text bookrevision; Mr. Garvey's first job,and his present appointment, can betraced to his close association withProf. Feinsinger.

* * * * * *It was Professor Feinsinger who

suggested to the National Foot-ball Players Association that it re-tain the law firm of Lindquist andVennum, Minneapolis, as counsel.

Nathan P. Feinsinger

IV

Ed Garvey, newly associated withthe firm, assisted Leonard Lind-quist with that initial representa-tion. In April, 1970, he becameExecutive Director of the Associa-tion, a labor union, to which al-most all of the players in the NF Lbelong. Since that time, he has beena devoted partisan of the playersagainst the owners, and what fol-lows is his view of the relationship,and that of the Association forwhich he speaks. His job is thedream of a boy too small to playfootball himself. It is also a greatresponsibility and a gruelling, dif-ficult, uphill job.

* * * * * * *Currently prep ar ati 0 n s are

being made for the negotiation of anew agreement to be effective in1974, with the 26 owners of Na-tional Football League teams. Theinitial agreement, which will be re-vised, was adopted in 1971, onlyafter the NFL-AFL merger madeit possible to organize one strongPlayers Organization, after the cer-tification of the Association as ex-clusive bargaining agent by a Na-tional Labor Relations Board elec-tion, after charges were filed by theAssociation that the owners refusedto bargain as directed by theNLRB, after a lock-out (so termedby the owners themselves) and af-ter a players' strike in July, justbefore the opening of sum mertraining camps, in which all but8 contract players walked out. Thisstrike stunned the sporting world,and permitted for the first time thegeneral public to become aware ofmany of the areas of conflict be-tween the professional footballplayers and the owners of the Na-tional Football League teams.

* * * * * *

Ed. Garvey

The National Football PlayersAssociation is built around itsplayer representatives-one perteam-its Executive Committee,composed of the officers and a fewothers, and its professional staff ofa half dozen, including Ed Gar-vey and Richard Berthelson, a LawSchool classmate of the ExecutiveDirector (1969), who is AssistantDirector. The Association plans itsfirst general membership meetingnext year. The University of Wis-consin, and the Law School, playa crucial role in the leadership ofthe organization. Two Law Schoolgraduates, Ken Bowman (Classof 1971), a member of the GreenBay Packers, and Pat Richter, Mad-ison, (Class of 1971), a formerlong-time member of the Washing-ton Redskins, are members of theExecutive Committee. Jim Bakken,a Wisconsin graduate, also a Mad-ison native, and an old-time mem-ber of the St. Louis Cardinals, wasthe president of the NF L PlayersAssociation at the time the two Lea-gues merged. Professor Feinsingerco n ti n ues as a Consultant to thestaff, particularly in matters relat-ing to the relations between the As-sociation and the NLRB.

As the Association grows andmatures, it becomes more unified,and morale in the membership, ac-cording to Garvey, is good. Thereis, for example, no Black Caucus,since black and white players shareequally in the leadership. The Pres-ident, John Mackey, is black, andso are several of the ExecutiveCommittee members. Many of theplayer repres ent a ti ve s are al-so black.

THE GARGOYLE

The growing strength and unityof the Association can be attributedin part to the fact that the pres-tigious and experienced players-who have little to gain in individualterms-participate sofully in the As-sociation's activities, helping to es-tablish the professional status of theyoung and inexperienced.

* * * * * *In addition to negotiating the

basic agreement, the organizationis deeply involved in the manyproblems connected with establish-ing itself as the spokesman for theworkers in an industry in whichthey contend that they have nocontrol over any aspect of theirlives, once they decide to makefootball a career. For example, theAssociation maintains that collegef00 t b a 11 players have no voiceabout participating in the draft. If,during the 17 rounds of choice bythe 26 teams, a player is selectedby a team, and if he does not agreeto the terms offered, or wishes toplay with another team, he can-not play football in the UnitedStates. Before the merger of theLeagues, Mr. Garvey points out,a particularly promising playercould choose one League or theother. Now even that limited al-ternative is denied him. He is not,according to Mr. Garvey, evengiven the opportunity of declaringin advance that he wishes to par-ticipate in the draft at all.

The negotiated agreement con-tains the minimum salary schedule,which is $12,000 for rookies and$13,000 for veterans. Beyond theminimum, individual salaries aresub j ec t to negotiations betweenplayer and owner. Players on theminimum scale, which is most ofthem, (the average salary is$18,000 per season) soon learnthat the salary is paid only if theplayer is available for each game;an ill or injured player has a pro-rata deduction from his pay foreach game missed.

A player may sign a three yearcontract which binds him for threeyears, but the owner is not bound,and the player's services can be

THE GARGOYLE

terminated at any time. Ed Gar-vey's advice to any potentialrookie: get a lawyer. A majorityof the players under contract neverearn pension rights, since-the aver-age professional career is only 4\12years.

Mr. Garvey points out that in-dividual contracts provide no dueprocess for the handling of griev-ances. The NFL Commissioner,who is paid by the owners, hasbeen given the job of mediatingdifferences between individual play-ers and the owners, although, ofcourse, originally his role was tomediate disputes between ownerand owner. The Association assertsthat individual contracts provideno job security whatever, and anyplayer can be fired or assigned toanother team at any time. TheLeague's Constitution and By-laws, with all their amendments,are incorporated by reference intoeach contract, and often a playeris uninformed that the by-laws spec-ifically prohibit the right of appeal,according to the Association'sleaders.

Individual grievances ofpIayersfor violations of contract arrange-ments, particularly after injury, oc-cupy much of the time of Mr. Gar-vey and his staff, as they attemptto implement the grievance pro-cedure est a b Ii she d in the initialAgreement. During this past year,14 of 18 grievances resulting frominjuries have been decided in favorof the players represented by theAssociation.

Larger, more general problemsrequire serious and detailed study.The Association claims as one ofits victories a plan for standardized,thorough physical examinations;admittedly the victory was wonafter the death of a player in agame last year.

Pay for pre-season practice andexhibition games is a continuingsource of contention, and will bedealt with in the 1974 negotiations.Rookie players receive nothing forpre-season games; they receive nosalaries, only small expense ac-counts for pre-season practice. Theper-game payment rises with ex-perience to about $350 per game

for the player with five years ormore. Each player, no matter whathis status is, or how many yearsof experience he has, has kis jobon the line each year. Most teamsstart out with 80-100 players, ne-cessitating many cuts when theteams are reduced to their legalsize, 47.

The Association has been con-ducting studies on the dangers toplayers of the artificial turf whichcovers several fields in the NFLstadiums. The resulting contentionis that injuries to the knees re-sult from the inflexibility of thesurface, and that many playerssustain severe burns from skin con-tact with the turf.

The NLRB has just ruled, aftera hearing that lasted three days,that the question of artificial turfis one which is negotiable betweenthe owners and the players' union.

The Association, along withplayer groups in all professionalsports, worked hard and success-fully to secure exemptions for play-ers from both phases of the Fed-eral wage controls.

The Association is currently en-gaged in a Class Action in thefederal district court in Minnesotadealing with the option clauses.

A team has an option on theservices of a player for one yearbeyond the end of his contract. Ifit chooses to exercise its option,the player must remain with theteam at 90% of his previous salary.If the option is not exercised, theplayer becomes a free agent, avail-able to make a deal with anotherteam. His home team must becom-pensated by the other team for hisservices-either by trading a playeror by cash compensation. If agree-ment is not reached betweenthetwoteams, the amount of compensationis fixed by the Commissioner. Itis the contention of the Associationthat the Commissioner's settlements(which are final and non-appeal-able) are so exorbitant as to pre-vent the movement of the "freeagents". Team owners avoid thesenegotiations, since the Commis-sioner establishes compensation af-ter the new contracts are signed. In

v

one recent case, for example, a teamwas required to give up its number1 draft choice as compensation forsigning a free agent.

The suit contends that this pro-cedure prevents the movement offree agents. Last year of 39 freeagents, only 2 were placed withother teams; 37 were forced to re-turn to their old teams at reducedsalaries, or leave the profession.

All of these efforts, just begin-ning, must conquer the rigid con-trol of the 26 NFL owners-mostof which are one man, or smallcorporations. The profits are enor-mous; each team's net after taxesand all expenses averages $1,700,000 per year, much more the en-tire amount paid out for salariesand benefits to the players.

Franchises for new teams arecurrently being offered to new own-ers for amounts up to $15,000,000each, the proceeds to be dividedequally among the team owners.Despite this cost, new teams willbe established, so profitable hasprofessional football become.

The Association feels that cer-tain players are blacklisted, thatthose who have been active in itsefforts are discriminated against.

Although he appears young andvigorous, Ernest Feidler ('34) istwice retired: he is a retired RearAdmiral in the Coast Guard andretired Sec ret a r y and GeneralCounsel of the National Galleryof Art.

It's a long road from Superior,Wisconsin to the Army and NavyClub in Washington, where the in-terview took place. The story cov-ers nearly 40 years. It started whenhe graduated with honors-amem-ber of Coif and an editor of theLaw Review. After his brief ex-perience in the textbook revisionwith Nate Feinsinger, and a yearas a Sterling Fellow at the Yale

VI

Ernest Feidler

Law School, he joined the Trea-sury Department in Washingtonin 1935.

All of his subsequent career stemsfrom his association with the Trea-sury. He is not a sailor; nor is hean artist-or even a collector, ex-cept for what he describes as amodest collection of Chinese por-celains. He is, in fact, a Treasuryman.

* * * * * *Alexander Hamilton founded the

Coast Guard when he was Secre-tary of the Treasury. It is still apart of the Treasury Department,although it becomes a corps of theNavy in time of war. Mr. Feidler'sCoast Guard service included toursof duty in the Mediterranean andNorth Africa during World War II,after which he remained in theCoast Guard Reserve when he re-turned to the Treasury at the endof the War. He was called backto active duty in the Korean War,between 1951 and 1954. Duringpart of that service, he was ActingJudge Advocate General of theCoast Guard. During the rest of it,he served as the Coast Guard aideto the Secretary of the Treasury.His responsibilities included beinga member of the Senior Staff of theNational Security Council. The Sec-retary acted as a member of theNational Security Council, and theSenior staff was composed of aideswho briefed the members and ad-ministered the work of the Council.His long service culminated with

his retirement as Rear Admiral-the ranking senior reserve officerin the Coast Guard.

It was during his early years inTreasury that he became acquaint-ed with the Mellons. When the Na-tional Gallery was established byan enormous giftfrom Andrew Mel-lon in 1937, the Secretary of theTreasury was designated by statuteto be one of the Trustees. Mr. Feid-ler's legal services to the Secretaryincluded many of the legal quest-ions involved in the establishmentand maintenance of the NationalGallery. In 1946, he was selectedto be Secretary and General Coun-sel of the Andrew Mellon Educa-tional and Charitable Trust, a posthe held until he was recalled to ac-tive duty in 1951.

The Andrew Mellon Trust wasa very large foundation for its day.During Mr. Feidler's employmentthere, it was involved in many pro-jects-the most notable ofwhich wasthe school of Public Health at theUniversity of Pittsburgh, which wasestablished by the Trust after alarge group of Pittsburgh citizenswere consulted at length about com-munity needs. It was in this in-stitution that Dr. Jonas Salk de-veloped the polio vaccine.

Despite their long-time commit-ment and great monetary invest-ment in the Republican Party, thequestion of his politics (liberal)was never raised by the Mellonfamily. In fact, Mr. Feidler recallsthat when Andrew Mellon made hisoffer of the Gallery to PresidentFranklin Roosevelt, he specifiedthat it not be called the MellonGallery, lest others be discouragedfrom making contributions to itscollections.

The Mellon Charitable Trust isset up to liquidate by 1987. OtherMellon Foundations have been est-ablished by the children of AndrewMellon.

He became associated with theGallery in 1954. It was a naturalassociation, considering his Trea-sury experience and his service tothe Mellon Trust. The Gallery isadministered by a committee com-

THE GARGOYLE

Ginevra de'Bend

posed of an Administrator, aDirector, and a Secretary- Treas-urer. Contrary to the general viewthat administration by Committeecreates chaos, Mr. Feidler declaresthat the Committee works well atthe Gallery. He was for a time theAdministrator, and, for the lastfew years, the Secretary-Treasurerand General Counsel. A Board ofTrustees established by Congressmakes the policy decisions underwhich the Committee operates.

The Gallery has grown andgrown. Great collections such asthe Kress and the Weidner, andlarge gifts of money have madeit one of the great galleries of theworld. It entertains one and a halfmillion visitors a year.

The work for a lawyer-admin-istrator in a museum is full ofchallenges. Mr. Feidler counts asone of the greatest experiences ofhis life his six year negotiationwith Prince Franz Joseph II ofLichtenstein for the only paintingby Leonardo da Vinci which re-poses in the Western Hemisphere.The purchase, for which the moneywas provided by Andrew Mel-lon, Jr. and Ailsa Mellon Bruce,was concluded for just under$5,000,000, although the originalasking price was twicethat amount.Six trips to Lichtenstein were re-quired. A painstaking examinationpreceded delivery of the picture.Mr. Feidler himself brought ithome, carefully wrapped in Saranwrap, reposing in a styrofoam-lined suitcase, which occupied awindow seat on a Swissaire com-mercial flight. He carefully moni-tored the temperature and moist-ure in the suitcase all the way.

The painting, a portrait ofGinevra de' Benci, wife of a Flor-entine nobleman, was completed byLeonardo about 1480. It is 15%inches high and 14% inches wide.It is believed that a portion of thepainting was cut from the bottom,probably after it was damaged bymoisture.

The Lichtenstein collection is thelargest private collection of paint-ings in the world. It was establish-ed by the family in the seventeenthcentury and contains approximate-

THE GARGOYLE

ly 1500 paintings and is valuedconservatively at 150 million dol-lars. Occasionally, in recent years,Prince Franz Joseph has sold apainting to pay current expensesand debts.

Although he acquired two otherpictures from the Lichtenstein col-lection (a Rub ens and a Gen-tileschi) Mr. Feidler considers theLeonardo his greatest acquisition.There are only seventeen paintingsby Leonardo da Vinci in existence.The Ginevra is, in Mr. Feidler'sopinion, the best preserved. All ofLeonardo's paintings are on wood,

this one a single piece of Italianpoplar, 3/8 of an inch thick. Be-cause he painted designs on theother side, the wood is well pre-served.

During his years of service tothe Gallery, Mr. Feidler instigateda scientific detection system, whichcan date a painting by the kind oflead used in the paint. It is nowalso possible to measure the radio-activity of lead, to decide whethera painting is new or old.

The spade work is just begin-ning; Mr. Garvey feels that the As-sociation has a long way to go be-fore professional football becomesin fact a profession, in which a play-er's skill and motivation become thechief ingredients of his success.

Ed Garvey doesn't know howlong he will stick to football. Be-fore he became Executive Directorhe had a variety of important ex-periences. After a year as Pres-ident of the Wisconsin Student As-sociation, he was elected one of theearly Presidents of the NationalStudent Association. He served twoyears as an Army officer, (FortGordon, Georgia and the Pent-agon), and just prior to coming toLaw School, spent a year as theSecretary General of the Interna-tional Student Conference, with off-ices at Leiden in the Netherlands.There were 350 delegates to theConference, chosen by studentgroups in 75 countries; his dutieswere semi-dlplomatic in nature. InLaw School he served as one of

XIV

the editors of the Law Review, andwas elected to Coif.

He and his wife, who are theparents of three young daughters,enjoyed Minneapolis and havekept their home there, hoping toreturn some day. In the meantime,life for Ed Garvey carries suchheavy responsibility that he can'tlook ahead very far.

fiNANCIAL AID IS BIG BUSINESS

SUPPORT THE LAW SCHOOL FUND

Scholarships awarded to Lawstudents for 1972-73 amounted toalmost $151,000, an increase of37% over 1971-72. The total in-cludes non-resident tuition remis-sions valued at $51,720 and cashawards of $99,255. Of this cashamount, $64,300 was dividedamong 155 students, and $34,956was awarded to 35 students in theLegal Ed u cat ion OpportunitiesProgram. Only 42 first year stu-dents were awarded scholarshipsby the Financial Aids Committee;of these, 17 are participants in theLEO program.

The average scholarship was$600; the median $300-both up alittle over 1971 - 72. Althoughawards to entering students arebased on promise of academicachievement as well as need, thoseto continuing students are based onneed only.

* * * * * *

Scholarships are a very smallpart of the financial aids picture.All law students with need for aidborrow. In 1972-73, in addition toscholarships noted above, about360 students borrowed about onehalf million dollars, through theN a ti 0 n a 1 Defense Student LoanProgram, and the Wisconsin High-er Education Aids office. This isan increase of about $50,000 from1971-72. It is estimated that 60students have secured federallyguaranteed loans through their lo-cal banks, but since these arrange-ments are made directly with thebanks, and verified through theUniversity Officeof Financial Aids,the Law School has no record.The number is larger than in anyprevious year, because of new reg-ulations about the establishment ofself-support, which have preventedmany students from qualifying forNational Defense Student Loans.

The Wisconsin Law School isnot unique in its heavy dependenceon loans for financial assistance.Only Harvard, among a numberof law schools recently surveyed,tries to offer one-half of the needin scholarship and one-half inloan. All others offer, as does Wis-consin, 75-80% in loan. A numberof law schools offer in scholar-ship no more than the amount oftuition and books.

Most law schools have specialfinancial aids for minority groupstudents. This is true at Wisconsin,where almost $54,000 in cash andnon-resident tuition remissions wasallocated to the LEO program. Allof the cash was contributed byalumni and friends of the LawSchool, some of it in the form ofearmarked gifts to the Law AlumniFund, and some of it through thebudget authorized by the Board ofDirectors of the Wisconsin LawAlumni Association.

* * * * * *Even with the great increase in

loans and scholarships, it is esti-mated that almost 200 students hadfinancial need which was not com-pletely met. It is also estimated that18 students ofhigh academic prom-ise did not corne to Wisconsin be-cause it was not possible to pro-vide sufficient financial assistance.

* * * * * *In some states, such as Colorado

and Connecticut, the state govern-ment provides cash grants, or tui-tion remissions to state residentsattending law school. In Wiscon-sin, no public funds are used forlaw school scholarships.

Follow-up by regionaldirectors will proceed during De-cember, to give every alumnus anopportunity to earn a tax deduc-tion during 1972.

Each year, alumni are contactedby Class agents. The scholarshipwinners received a letter from Mr.George Cleary, Class of 1913, ofCleary, Gottlieb, Steen and Hamil-ton, New York. The general mail-ing, for many alumni, serves as areminder.

General Chairman of the 1972drive is Glen R. Campbell, '51,Janesville, who is President of theWisconsin Law Alumni Associa-tion. Members of the Na ti 0 n a ICommittee Alumni Fund Drive are:

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?

FOR LEGAL EDUCATION

During these past few monthsmuch effort has been devoted, notonly here, but elsewhere, to theattempt to predict the future-thefuture of legal education, the futureof the profession. Both of these,of course, are bound in larger spec-ulation-the future of the economy,the growth of the population, theincreasing education of the people,the growing a war e n es s of indi-vidual rights. All of these develop-ments, and the changes which arenow occurring in America create acomplexity of life in which lawyerswill play a crucial role. Lawschools are deeply involved, be-cause the only way to become alawyer in the United States is togo to law school first.

The problem is that all thestudyso far has produced many morequestions than answers, and in themidst of uncertainty, the LawSchool must proceed.

* * * * * *

Within the context of the largerquestions, some understanding canbe developed through an analysisof the admissions to the LawSchool in September, 1972, and thecareer choices made by the Classof 1972.

The report of the New LawSchool Study Committee appointedby the Board of Regents to considerand advise the Board on the pro-posal to establish a second publiclaw school in Wisconsin is alsorelevant.

* * * * * *

The Admissions Picture

The 290 members of the Classof 1975 who started Law Schoolon August 21, were selected from2300 applicants.

x

FOR THE GRADUATE

The class contains 55 fewer stu-dents than the class admitted in1971 and 45 fewer students thanenrolled in 1970. The cut-back re-sulted from a better method of esti-mating the proportion of the stu-dents accepted for admission to theLaw School who will actually en-roll in the entering class. In both1970 and 1971,' the number ofthose accepting admission repre-sented a much higher percentage ofthose offered admission than anyprevious experience would havepredicted. As a consequence, weovershot the mark of 290 studentsin the entering class by over 40in both 1970 and 1971. The high-er admissions in 1970 and 1971,coupled with the markedly higherretention of continuing students,has produced an enrollment of JDcandidates of 950 and a total en-rollment of more than 1000, in-cluding a few SJD candidates anda scattering of graduate studentstaking law courses for degrees inother fields.

Almost 23% of the members ofthe new class are women, bring-ing the number of females in theLaw School to 143, about 1/7 ofthe total enrollment. The 64 wo-men enrolled for the first time wereselected from 290 female appli-cants, a much larger percentagethan that of male applicants select-ed, 23% compared to 11%. Sinceno different admission criteria wereused for male and female applica-tions, it appears that many verywell qualified women are preparingthemselves to enter the legal pro-fession. The increase in the pro-portion of women to men is demon-strated by the fact that 45 of 345enrollees (about 13%) in 1971, and36 of 335 (a little over 11%) en-rollees in 1970 were women.

The class of 1975, by design,has a much higher percentage of

Wisconsin residents than in pre-vious years. About 20%, only 59first year students, are nonresidentsthis year, compared to 31 t633%in previous years. The 59 non-residents come from 24 differentstates.

One hundred seventeen of the 290admitted earned their undergrad-uate degrees at the University ofWisconsin - Madison, and 43others received undergraduate de-grees at other campuses of themerged University of Wisconsinsystem. This represents a majorchange over previous years, whenonly a handful of graduates ofthe former Wisconsin state univer-sities applied and were admittedto the Law School. Five privatecolleges in Wisconsin contributedstudents to the new class. In all,there are graduates of 96 differentcolleges in the first year class.

Fifty-one members of the firstyear class were admitted via theSummer Pre-admission ScreeningProgram. They were selected froma group of 84, who accepted in-vitations to compete for positionsin the entering class by takingtwo law courses in the summer.In 1971, 41 were granted lawschool admission from 82 who par-ticipated and 31 were admitted of78 in 1970. The greater selectivityof admission during the past threeyears also affects the Summer Pro-gram, as the greatly increased per-centage (40% to 50% to 60%) ofthose who are eventually admittedindicates.

* * * * * *

About 6% (17) of the newly en-rolled stu den t s are members ofminority groups. Of these, two areAmerican Indians, 4 are MexicanAmericans, and the rest are black.The number of currently enrolledstudents who were admitted to theLaw School as members of theLegal Ed u cat ion OpportunitiesProgram is now 35, which is lessthan 4% of the total enrollment.These students, who are givenspecial consideration and financialassistance on admission, meet thesame academic standards for grad-

uation as do all other students.Most of the funds which supportthe program are contributed direct-ly by alumni, faculty, and studentsof the Law School, or allocatedfrom the Law Alumni Fund by theWLAA Board of Directors.

* * * * * *

The selection of one studentfromamong more than seven applicantshas resulted, of course, in a classof higher academic quality, as mea-sured by cumulative grade pointaverages and Law School Admis-sion Test scores, than in any pre-vious year. The regularly admittedstudents who actually registered(as distinguished from those offeredadmission) have a median gradepoint average of about 3.5, anda median LSAT of 650.

The Placement Story

Two hundred forty-five men andwomen graduated in 1972 (includ-ing January, June and Augustgraduations ), an increase of 50over 1971. The sharp increase re-flects the first major step-up in ad-missions, which occurred in 196.9,and the generally higher retentionof Law students. The higher reten-tion, in turn, reflects the higheracademic achievement and aptitudeof the entering students, and thedisappearance of the military in-trusion into the Law School ex-perience.

Only 6 of the 1972 graduateshave indicated that they are unem-ployed and seeking employment.About 30 have not yet reportedtheir present status to the Place-ment Office, but most are expectedto do so by the year's end. It canbe assumed that many of these aresatisfactorily p I ace d. Doubtless,some are awaiting admission to theBar. Some have made temporarycommitments, such as to politicalcampaigns, and willmake perman-ent plans soon.

THE GARGOYLE

Of those who have indicated theircareer choices, 100 have chosenprivate practice, about 40% of thegraduates. This compares to 45%a year ago. Of these 100, 83 arelocated in Wisconsin-83%, whichis about the same percentage as in1971, and can be compared to 55%in 1970. It is important to notethat 83% of those entering privatepractice in Wisconsin in 1971amounted to 64 people; in 1972it was 83 people. Twenty of therecent graduates have joined firmsin Milwaukee, 28 have located inMadison, and 35 in other citiesof Wisconsin. Of the 17 graduateswho entered private practice out-side of Wisconsin, 11 are associat-ed with large firms in large cities,and 6 in small cities.

About 24% of the Class of 1972entered government service, includ-ing the military. Among these are9 graduates serving as clerks tojudges-3 to Wisconsin SupremeCourt Justices, 4 to Federal judges-in the District Courts and theCircuit Courts of Appeals, and 2to Supreme Court Justices in otherstates.

But the largest group (28) ofthose employed by government arein Wisconsin, working for the Stateof Wisconsin, various District At-

torneys' and City Attorneys' offices.Six graduates are employed bystate and local governments inother states, and 12 have acceptedpositions with the Federal govern-ment, in Washington and else-where. Only 4 are fulfilling militarycommitments.

Another 15 graduates are asso-ciated with various agencies pro-viding legal services to the poor.Of these, 9 are located in Wiscon-sin and 6 in other states.

Only 11 graduates are associa-ted with banks, insur a n c e com-panies, accounting firms or otherbusinesses. Of these, 9 are locatedin Wisconsin.

Seven of the graduates list them-selves as "self-employed ", and thereare a couple of brand new lawfirms now established. Three grad-uates are located on the Madisoncampus in administrative posts.Two graduates have deliberatelychosen occupations completely un-related to the legal profession; an-other is teaching law in NewGuinea; seven are seeking furthereducation. Many of these also willmake permanent professional com-mitments during the next year.

One member of the Class of 1972was elected to the Wisconsin As-sembly on November 7.

TRIALADVOCACY COURSETAUGHT BYMEMBERS

Of THE PRACTICING BAR

Working in small teachingteams, on a weekly basis, 48 dis-tinguished members of the StateBar ofWisconsin have assisted Pro-fessor Stuart Gullickson in hiscourse in Trial Advocacy, whichthis year has been composed of 2sections of 30 students each.

"Learning by doing" is thebasis of the course, and the stu-dents, in groups of six, learn thetechniques of examining and cross-examining wit n e sse s under thesupervision of trial lawyers. Thereare nine such two hour sessions.In two other sessions each week,the teaching trial lawyers conductdemonstrations of trial techniques.Other courses are offered whichdeal with other aspects of advocacy-Trial Court Argument, taught byRichard L. Cates, and AppellateAdvocacy, taught by ProfessorsSamuel Mermin and Abner Brodie,and Howard Eisenberg, ActingPublic Defender.

In addition to the trainingoffered law students, 30 studentcourt reporters from Madison AreaTechnical College and MadisonBusiness College took the testimonyfor p r a c t ic a I experience in theirstudy of court reporting. Ten seniormedical stu den t s served as wit-nesses in the flnal session of thecourse.

Each teaching team, during itsweek in the Law School, conductedone class in the morning and an-other in the afternoon. During thehours between classes, they wereavailable in the Student Loungefor informal consultations with stu-dents. This became an importantpart of their volunteer service, sincethere are still some students in theLaw School who have had littleor no association with practicinglawyers.

Lawyers participating includedprosecutors from the U.S. At-torneys' offices, the District At-torneys' offices and the State De-

partment of Justice, and defenselawyers on the criminal side, andlawyers who specialize as plain-tiffs counselor defense lawyersin civil suits. Among them havebeen a number of past presidentsof the State Bar of Wisconsin, theMilwaukee County Bar Associa-tion, and the Wisconsin Academyof Trial Lawyers. One is the cur-rent President of the WisconsinLaw Alumni Association, and an-other is President-elect of the In-surance Trial Counsel of Wiscon-sin.

Twelve of the teaching lawyerscame from Milwaukee, 18 fromMadison, and 18 from other Wis-consin communities. Court Admin-istrator Edwin Wilkie acted aspresiding judge at one of the ses-sions.

NEW LAW SCHOOL STUDYCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDSAGAINST ANOTHER LAWSCHOOL

Que sti 0n s of Admission andCareer Placement of Law studentsplayed a prominent part in the de-liberations of the New Law SchoolStudy Committee, appointed tomake a recommendation to the Re-gents on the proposal to establisha second Law School which wasmade last year by a Madisoncampus committee appointed byChancellor Edwin Young.

On October 24, the Study Com-mittee voted that there is no cur-rent need to establish a second LawSchool in the University of Wis-consin system. The Com mitt eenoted, in its report, that of the2300 applicants for admission in1972, 816 were residents of Wis-consin. Only 230 of these couldbe accommodated in the presentLaw School. Of the 504 studentsrejected for admission, 479 werejudged to have a better than evenchance for success in Law School.It was also noted that MarquetteLaw School was able to acceptonly 1 of 10 applications this year.The disproportion of applicationsto admissions is a well-known na-tional phenomenon.

The Committee also noted themany factors which bear upon thechanging demands for lawyers, in-cluding pre-paid legal s er vic e splans, the recent U.S. SupremeCourt decisions that all persons ac-cused of crimes which might leadto jail sentences are entitled to le-gal representation, and the develop-ment of programs providing legalservices to the poor. Also listedwere the new Federal OccupationalSafety and Health Act, federal andstate laws providing protection toconsumers, products liability sta-tutes, necessary aid to judges atall levels, and the need to provideassistance to both prosecutors anddefense attorneys in c rim ina Imatters.

Walter B. Raushenbush

Ba I an c ed against this profes-sional development, of course, arethe much discussed no-fault insur-ance, no-fault divorce, and admini-strative probate plans now takingshape, which may reduce the needfor lawyers in several importanttraditional fields.

After extensive discussions andhearings, the Committee made itsdecision against a second lawschool. The Committee made sev-eral additional recommendations:

1.) that the Law School holdits enrollment at approximately900. Recognizing that present fund-ing levels are inadequate, the Com-mittee recommended that properbudgetary provisions be made;

2.) that the demand for legal ed-ucation and the demand for law-yers be reviewed a year from now;

3.) that there be exploration ofthe possibility of providing othergraduate programs for some ofthose now seeking to enter lawschool;

4.) that continued efforts bemade by the Law School and theState Bar to inform prospective stu-dents that "there may not be suf-ficient positions in the near termin some traditional fields of legalpractice or in some geographicalareas for all those who may seeksuch positions. " It also recommend-ed continued publication ofnew op-portunities;

5.) that the UW-Madison LawSchool continue its efforts to pro-vide legal opportunities for mem-bers of minority groups.

Professor Walter Raushenbush,who serves as Chairman of theLaw School's Admissions Com-mittee, dissented from portions ofthe Committee's report. Prof. Rau-shenbush is also the Chairman ofthe Pre-Law Committee of the LawSchool Admissions Council, whichincludes all law schools which re-quire the Law School AdmissionTest. In cooperation with the Asso-ciation of American Law Schools,the Council (specifically ProfessorRaushenbush's com mit tee) pre-pares annually the Pre-law Hand-book, which has become the de-fmitive, authoritative source of in-formation for potential law stu-dents.

In his statement, Professor Rau-shenbush said in part, "Law-train-ed men and women play majorroles in business, government, poli-tics, education, police work, correc-tions, voluntary action, etc. as wellas in traditional legal work. Law-trained people of prominence havelately included Richard Nixon andAdlai Stevenson, Robert Kennedyand Spiro Agnew, Ralph Naderand Warren Knowles, VernonThomson and John Reynolds,Glenn Davis and Henry Reuss,John Byrnes and Robert Kasten-'meier, Fred Risser and HaroldFroehlich, Baseball Commission-er Bowie Kuhn and NFL PlayersAssociation Director Ed Garvey,Secretary of State William Rogersand Secretary of the Army RobertFro eh Ike, Miles McMillin andHoward Cosell, and the presidentsof such universities as Harvard,Yale, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa,Ohio, Florida, Case Western Re-serve, Chicago and Rutgers.

The spade work is just begin-ning; Mr. Garvey feels that the As-sociation has a long way to go be-fore professional football becomesin fact a profession, in which a play-er's skill and motivation become thechief ingredients of his success.

Ed Garvey doesn't know howlong he will stick to football. Be-fore he became Executive Directorhe had a variety of important ex-periences. After a year as Pres-ident of the Wisconsin Student As-sociation, he was elected one of theearly Presidents of the NationalStudent Association. He served twoyears as an Army officer, (FortGordon, Georgia and the Pent-agon), and just prior to coming toLaw School, spent a year as theSecretary General of the Interna-tional Student Conference, with off-ices at Leiden in the Netherlands.There were 350 delegates to theConference, chosen by studentgroups in 75 countries; his dutieswere semi-dlplomatic in nature. InLaw School he served as one of

He and his wife, who are theparents of three young daughters,enjoyed Minneapolis and havekept their home there, hoping toreturn some day. In the meantime,life for Ed Garvey carries suchheavy responsibility that he can'tlook ahead very far.

"Ultimately", Professor Rau-shenbush concluded, "the Regentsand Legislature must decide whatthe University and the State canafford, and what shall have prior-ity . . legal education should havevery high priority. In the comingyears, graduates of many discip-lines . . . may find themselves partof an over-supply in their specialty.Law graduates may be amongthem .... But we will surely wantto preserve some (though not com-plete) freedom for our young peopleto choose which over-supply theywill join, to select the arena in whichthey'll compete for a place.
