The prelaw program can help relieve much of the anxiety associat¬ ed with gaining admission to a law school, as the above comment by senior psychology, sociology, and prelaw major Tom Tompkins illustrates. Undergraduates who elect to complete the 36 quarter hours of the ' prelaw core and maintain an overall grade point average of 3.3 are automatically admitted to the Pettit CoMege of Law. 4s Tom Tompkins said. I think it is a good pro¬ gram because it is so risky applying to other places. In another matter related to the College of Law. in the fall of 1980plans were announced for tin ' expansion of the Tilton Hall of Law. The 16.800square feet addition will nearly double the capacity of the law library. Other features of the expanded library will include study car rels and increased storage space. In addition to the expanded library, the proposed addition will have rooms for student organizations and a conference room which will be open 34 hours a day.
