WIVES Membership in the Law Wives Association is open to wives of Stanford law students. Regular monthly meetings give the members an opportunity to discuss a variety of subjects with guest speakers. The topics run the gambit from religion to drugs, from social issues to medicine. Also, special interest groups are formed during the year, varying from tours to the very successful bridge group. After all, if the husbands can go to the Dutch Goose and the Oasis, the wives should be allowed to have their fun too. Other Law Wives activities included a charity project at Christmas, social events throughout the year for married couples, and service to the Law School by participation in events such as the Law Alumni Weekend.

YE RBCOK Life at the Stanford Law School consists not only of attending class, reading cases, and taking exams, but also of participating in many student organizations, becoming involved in various issues of the day, such as the grape boycott, the Presidio trials, and the national elections, and socializing in the law school, in Crothers Pub, and elsewhere. The 1969 Yearbook seeks to depict such an overview of life at Stanford Law School, The editors have to admit, however, that such an effort is always doomed to failure at the outset because the essence and vitality of the law school cannot accurately be shown in a limited number of still-life photographs explained by very Hlimitedi' captionsg the essence and vitality is in large measure motion, and it can be captured only by being a part of it. The editors would like to express their appreciation to all those whose efforts made this 'ffailurei' possible. Gene Smith took the student pictures and the organizational picturesg Larry Aufmuth, Larry Calof, Chuch Bruton, Mike Harbers, Henry Killeen, and Bill Westerbeke took the candidsg Mike Wright did the art workg many other students assisted in writing copy and preparing biographies of the professorsg and Deans Keller and Hasenkamp are still working out a way to absorb the deficit. We would like to express a particular note of gratitude to the many law firms who have contributed generously, for without their help publication of such a Yearbook would not be possible.

PLACEMENT COMMITTEE The Placement Committee has been primarily active in assisting the Placement Office in planning employer interviewing policies and procedures and in serving as a liaison between students and the Placement Office. The Placement Committee attempts to help students find summer and permanent employment by encouraging employers to come to Stanford, by providing students with written material regarding job possibilities, and by working individually with students who have unusual interests or desires. Efforts have been made to make job opportunities known both by area fas in San Francisco, Denver, New Yorkj and type of practice flarge firm corporate practice, legal aid, etc.j. The Placement Committee maintains files on past correspondence with possible employers and lists of those law firms which have interviewed at Stanford in the past few years. This past year, in an effort to insure more meaningful interview opportunities for all students, several new features were added to the interviewing program: lj Employers were encouraged to interview all interested applicants, whether or not such applicants has academic standing sufficiently high in the interviewer's mind, 21 To accommodate the large numbers of students who wish to interview with the larger or more popular law firms, such firms were encouraged to interview on more than one day, and informal lunch time get-togethers were arranged between the employers and interested studentsg 33 Students were given the results of a compilation made by the Placement Committee as to where last year,s graduates were and what they were doing, and students were also given all available information on what this year's graduating class would be doing next year. The Placement Committee helps assist, and in addition has been well assisted by, the Placement Office and particularly by Suzanne Close and Cindy Swaim. In addition, Dean Hasenkamp has worked closely with the Placement Committee in formulating new interviewing policy. Finally, many students have helped the Placement Committee by providing specific information as to job opportunities or by making known suggestions with which the Committee can better operate next year.
