BRUCE H. HASENKAMP A ssistant Dean Bruce Hasenkamp, one of the two recent additions to the administration of the law school, comes to Stanford this year from New York, where he was practicing law. Born in New York, he received an A.B. in history in 1960 from Dartmouth and an LL.B. in 1963 from Stanford, where he ran the mock trials for the Moot Court Board. After law school he practiced law in New York for six months before going into the army as an officer. He was stationed primarily in Korea, where he worked as a Personnel Management Officer, Adjutant, Company Commander, and Legal Assistance Officer of the 8th U.S. Army Support Command. In December 1966 he returned to New York to practice law until May 1968, when he came to Stanford. At Stanford Dean Hasenkamp's duties include coordinating between the law school and the students, Director of Placement, liaison with bar associations, and assisting in the admissions program. His deep involvement in the many aspects of student life at the law school enables better communicationfbetweene students and the administration and faculty. Dean Hasenkampis personal interests include travel, music, and art. Upon completion of his military service he traveled extensively in Europe and Russia. He finds Stanford close enough to San Francisco to enable his attending the opera regularly. His Korean ceramics collection is said to be one of the two or three best private collections in the country. Two factors indicate a long stay for Dean Hasenkamp at Stanford. First, he has recently purchased a beautiful home in the hills behind Stanford, and, second, it is rumored that Marjorie Manning is designing a beard for him. Although the beard may simply serve to make him even more acceptable to the students, one cannot rule out the possibility that the beard will have an adverse affect on the number of new job offers made to Dean Hasenkamp.

WAYNE G. BARNETT Professor of Law Wayne Barnett joined the Stanford law faculty in 1966 after having spent a number of years in both private practice and government service. After receiving an A.B. in economics in 1950 from Harvard College, he stayed on in Cambridge to study law, serving as articles editor of the Harvard Law Review and receiving an LL.B. in 1953. Professor Barnett was law clerk to Mr. Justice Harlan of the United States Supreme Court in 1955-56, and then he practiced with the Washington fimi of Covington and Burljng for two years. In 1958 he left private practice to become an Assistant to the Solicitor General of the United States. In this capacity Mr. Barnett and his eight colleagues in the office had the responsibility for arguing cases before the Supreme Court on behalf of the United States, and also for authorizing appeals in cases lost by the government in a lower court or agency. Mr. Barnett left the Solicitor General's office in 1965 to become the First Assistant in the Office of the Legal Counsel for the Department of Justice. In 1966 he yielded to the temptation to try his hand at teaching and joined the Stanford law faculty. He teaches primarily in the area of contracts and taxation. He is well qualified to lead his students down the Socratic path of case analysisg he argued many of the cases himself before the United States Supreme Court. The Barnetts have five children ranging from age 11 downward to age 5, and they live in a home on the campus.
