MALCOLM E. WHEELER After many successful years in athletic competition, Malcolm finally reached the pinnacle of his career by being named player coach of the Blackacre gridmen. Largely through his efforts, this brilliant group of football stars failed to win the all-University championship three years in a row. JONATHON W. WILCOX - Jon entered Stanford as an undergraduate, thinking he might be a historian or writer or a politician or maybe a lawyer. He wasnlt really sure what lawyers did, but a lot of bright young boys think they might end up as lawyers. Four years later he hadn't made up his mind, so he went to Law School - good generalist education, 'fthe degree can't hurt youf' a lot of opportunities, etc. He still didn't know what lawyers did. His first day in Franklin's tort class showed him what lawyers did and pretty well convinced him he didnit want to be a lawyer. He thought the profession should probably start over from scratch, back to 1215 or Justinian or whenever it was. But he had no strength to his convictions andlor the draft served as a disincentive to any more individualistic courses of action. At least three years of law school have showed htm a lot of things he doesn't want to do with his life. GREGORY O. WILHELM A.B. Stanford University 1966

MARTIN B. VIDGOFF Born in Portland, Oregon in 1943, Ihad a normal childhood, except for never catching the mumps. Then I went to Harvard, where I caught the mumps. But I say I was in the war. At Harvard I was an active and alert student, majoring in govermnent. After Richard Neustadt denoted my undergraduate thesis as an unadulterated piece of claptrapf I advanced to the Stanford School of Law. Here I have been dutiful, scrupulous, and colorful. In my second year, I became a reform candidate for President of the Law Association, and won. The candidates to succeed me also promise reform, so I have reaped the rewards of the pathfinder. When I grow up, I hope to save the world. Sic transit gloria munde. Remember me this way. ROGER A. VREE B.A. in History, Wheaton College, 1965, M.A. Stanford University, 1966. PAUL S. VINNICOF As an undergraduate, Paul fP.V., or Vines, depending on the readerj studied chemistry at Pomona and Stanford. He then went on to medical school, where he instantly became a devout hypochondriac. In an effort to regain his health, Paul left medical school and went to work in the real world. Finding this experience even more debilitating, he enrolled in law school. Except for a six hour poker marathon, Paul's first year in law school was uneventful. Things picked up in the second year, however, when he moved in with the dynamic duo, Ralph Uakej Jacobson and Bruce Strathearn. From Bruce, he learned another use for the Berlin Wall, and from Ralph he learned the fine art of bargain hunting. At this time, Paul,s future plans are very indefinite.

WRIGHT No decision by this Court can forestall revolution whenever the existing government fails to command respect and loyalty of the people and sufficient distress and discontent is allowed to grow up among the masses .... Corruption, ineptitude, inflation, oppressive taxation, militarization, injustice, and loss of leadership capable of intellectual initiative in domestic or foreign affairs are allies on which the Communists count to bring opportunity knocking to their door.
