To fulfill this goal of service the SBA sponsors programs such as the Book Exchange, Bar Review lectures, free phone service, study halls, freshman orientation, blue-book fees, the blood bank fund, mail service, a weekly film forum, the Law Wives Christmas dance, the Round-Up party, the Law School newspaper, beer busts, and intermural sports.

This year the Board of Governors under the leadership of James E. Buster” Brown made great strides toward strengthening the feeling of unity among all law students. With greater emphasis placed on the role of the Law School in the University community, the Board of Governors appointed a committee to evaluate the Law School’s connections with the University. Another project given first year development priority was the Council for the Advancement of Legal Understanding, an appointed committee that sought to promote better understanding of the legal process among high school students. The committee sent leading law students to Austin high schools to discuss the meaning and importance of law with the high school classes and to illustrate the adversary system. The response was overwhelming, and the results were rewarding to both sides. IN SESSION OK, all in favor of closing room 106 and blaming it on Mr. Mersky, signify by raising your right hand!” 152
