Its bright red cover is a familiar and respected sym- bol of the Stanford Law School. Like the law school itself, the Review's orientation is national and international. The content of Volume 19 attests to the wide range of topics which receive scholarly comment in the Review. A practical article on forming housing cooperatives contrasts with an esoteric essay on the ways in which legal institutions formulate rules. An article on passports and an article on the federal rent supplement program deal with matters of great importance to national policy-makers. Two articles on the Colorado River provide an analytical framework resolv- ing interstate and international conflicts over great river basins. A book review symposium on labor arbitration grapples with the problems of the institution that is the keystone of American labor-management relations. Student material also covers a wide range of subjects: obscenity, California community property, federal estate William Armstrong checking citations for a future Law Review article. and income tax, development of shale oil, mari- time subsidies, the war on poverty, and more. Moreover, cognizant of the fact that impor- tant areas of the law. may be neglected by student-edited periodicals, the Board of Editors of Volume 19 initiated the practice of devoting one issue Uunej of each volume to subjects within the area of international law. The Review hopes not only to fill an academic void but to aid those practitioners who must deal with in- ternational law in their daily affairs. The Review is a nonprofit, wholly student- edited journal. Students are eligible for mem- bership on the Review during their second and third years of law school. Approximately twenty- five students are invited to membership on the Board of Editors at the beginning of their sec- ond year, selection being based primarily on academic performance during their first year. In addition, second-year students who have shown a marked improvement in academic perform- ance during the second year or who have shown excellent writing skills by submitting written Work to the Review are invited to join the Board Laura Lippman begins research for a student comment ' - , , .. . i maeifmiw :,.

Professor Baxter hits a double in last Spring's Student-Faculty baseball game. The Law Association and the lounge mana- gers put a great deal of effort this year into the improvement and expansion of the food service available to students. A wider variety of food and drink was offered and facilities such as mag- azines and playing cards were provided. A placement committee of students from all classes studied the placement procedures of the Law School and in a spring report made recom- mendations for improving the placement process. Law School social activities consumed the ma- jority of the Associationis budget. The fall dance was an informal Halloween rock-and-roll affair held on a 1400-acre ranch near Pescadero on the Pacific Ocean. In addition to dancing, stu- dents were invited to participate in hay rides, apple dunking, and marshmallow roasting. For the first time the Law Association spon- sored a student-faculty Christmas dinner at the University Club. Following cocktails and dinner, the evening was highlighted by the faculty's performance of My Share Bradyf, In this liberal adaptation of a Lerner-Loewe musical comedy, Professors Franklin, Hancock, McDonough, Manning, Merryman, and'Meyers demonstrated that their talents are not confined to the class- room. Following the skit, Professor Sher, cast in the role of Santa Claus, distributed to the guests more than 70 gifts donated by Peninsula merchants. The party ended with everyone join- ing Mrs. Manning in singing Christmas songs. The annual winter formal was held in Febru- ary at the Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club in the Stanford foothills. Other social ac- tivities included several class parties, mixers, and the annual baseball contest between the stu- dents and faculty at the spring picnic. For the third-year class the culmination of the Law School social activities was the commence- ment dinner and dance held in May at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco. Law students relax during intermission at Winter Formal held at Palo Alto Hills Golf Country Club.

of Editors. The Review's editorial offices are staffed by third-year students. The Board of Editors elects the president, and the president appoints his editorial staff. While the Review is an integral and important part of the law school's curriculum, it operates independently of faculty supervision, although faculty mem- bers are often consulted about problems within their areas of expertise. Although the Review serves primarily as a forum for scholarly writing, its purpose is much more than that: it is a unique teaching device that offers its members a challenging experience in precise and exacting legal research, writing, and analysis, A student writer's ideas and re- search are subjected to as much intense critical analysis as his editors can bring to bearg his work is redrafted and rechecked until the editors and the writer believe that it is substantively and stylistically ready for publication. Students are encouraged to be diverse in their interests and to go beyond book research in an attempt to deal with problems in the most meaningful manner possible. As an incentive for student work of high quality, three prizes are available to graduating members of the Board of Editors who have made outstanding contributions to the Review: The Irving H. Hellman, Ir. Award, the Board of Editors Prize, and the Stanford Law Review Prize. The educational opportunity presented by the Review is not limited to the preparation of student work. All contributed ma- terials - articles and book reviews - are scruti- nized closely during citechecking and editing for logic, clarity, form, and proper use of authority. Thus the student has a chance to match wits with recognized authorities in many areas of the law, the match results in improvement of articles and book reviews as well as increased student understanding of various areas of law and modes of thinking. The legend that the members of the Board of Editors live a hermit's life in the caverns of the basement annex is not quite accurate. Social and sporting events abound, although the latter sometimes have disastrous results. The social calendar includes a fall dinner for the new mem- bers, a Review-faculty cocktail party, traditional lock-up parties, and annual spring banquet. Law Review Staff. Seated: M.
