LAW WIVES ASSOCIATION fleft to rightj SEATED: Cathy Bomberger, Marilyn Newbanks, Sue Kran- winkel, Louise Mueller. STANDING: Harriet Perrin, Carlene Hovwrani, Judy Cunningham, Judy Fultz, Becky Hill, Sandy Clark, Andy Purves, May Kirimitsu. A law wife is generally spoken of as a versatile crea- ture, so it seems quite appropriate that the Law Wives Association should demonstrate this Versatility. Its members are all text-book widows, and many double as bread-winners in the bargain. The Association welcomes newly arrived consorts and helps them to explore the labyrinths of Ann Arbor. It allows its members many opportunities to share and develop their interests as well. Those who eschew the TV Dinner may find solance with the culinary arts group. Art, drama, and literary groups employ the creative. The Weak-Seven club opener is one of the proudest inventions of the bridge players, and the sewing circle affords a refuge for those who demand both conversation and ac- complishment. The legal studies group assaults the my- steries of the law, and the Winterdance Committee makes a much appreciated annual contribution to the social calendar. As for charity, the bake sale is the Wives' countermeasure to that inescapable and soul-leaching af- fliction, final week instantus. .- Q N. .1 Mrs. Doug Kranwinkle, President Mr. C. D.

Apor- tion of the grant,which expires this year, has been used to support students who wish to continue their study of interna- tional and comparative law overseas. Many of the Ford Fellowship recipients have been assisted from other sources, enabling the available money to be dis- tributed more widely. Since the incep- tion of the program, thirty-one fellow- ships have been awarded for one year's graduate work abroad. This year's recipients are: Gordon Elicker, to study in Franceg Robert Bonges, Belgium or Franceg Ethan Ja- cobs, Germanyg and Thomas Sch- oenbaum, Germany and other Common Market countries. NATIONAL MOOT COURT TEAM The Moot Court Team,usually composed of seniors who did well in the Campbell Competition,takes part in a national round of ap- pellate arguments against the teams representing other law schools. By placing first or second in the regionals held in Detroit, the team can advance to the finals in New York and the opportunity to become national champions.

Chief Order Librarian Lilly M. Roberts . . .Chief Bibliographer Hobart R. Coffey, Director Since 1931, when it left Haven Hall for Thomas Cook's newly erected Legal Research Building, the library has grown from 95,458 volumes to 334,374 volumes. In the process, Director Hobart Coffey has built the library into one of the finest legal research collections in the world. The library budget totalled SB111,000 this year, more than half of which went for continuations, including the 6,380 serial titles in the catalogue. Presently, the library is absorbed in completing its collection of primary legal sources of every nation and has recently been adding Japanese and African materials in particular. The collection of Inter- national Organlzation documents, financed by Ford funds, is one of the most extensive in existence. This year a substantially complete collection of government publications dealing with the Internal Revenue Laws was purchased from Mr. Carleton Fox. Other collections include various editions of Blackstone and a good selection of lncunabula. At the present rate of acquisition, some 8,000 bound volumes per year, including bound periodicals and purchased collections, no immediate shortage of shelf space is anticipated. The staff is now composed en- tirely of professional librarians who are assisted by part-time student help. One welcome improvement planned is better lighting for the reading room. The facilities for visiting and resident scholars, including ample carrel and office space, microfilm equipment, and inter-library loans are some of the best in the country. Moreover, the library serves members of the bar and judges in addition to the students themselves. fleft to rightl FIRST ROW: 1. Saborio, W. Brock, G. Dobson, G. Berghund, R. McSweeny, G.
