JOHN B. MITCHELL A small town product, I prefer verbs to adjectives in both speech and ideas. I am brisk, lithe and effective, which explains, no doubt, why I am no longer in that small town. Born in Bristow, Oklahoma, I took an economics degree at Yale at the age of twenty. I translated Chinese for the Signal Corps during the quest for peace in Viet-nam. After serving the country I love so dearly, I enrolled at Stanford Law School intending to clerk for Justice Fortas upon graduation. While in law school I distinguished myself. Expecting to enter private practice in Cleveland, I have not dismissed the possibility of receiving a telephone call from Yale or the State Department. A mover behind the newly formed Urban Institute, a Rand-like think tank for social sciences,I seek to foster social change with the same drive I bring to experimentation, through the lack of preparation, in legal 14' education. I often speak of lawyers as the last of the generalists - part qi philosopher, part manager - who shape institutions and programs to answer emerging needs. I am speaking of myself. lee i la X774 1 xl, DOUGLAS J. MORGAN Doug traces his heritage to Salem, Oregon. He there attended Baker Elementary School, a three-year one-room vocational institute where he met and married his teacher Pocahontas. She later left him in a quest to discover the Atlantic Ocean. Undaunted, Doug travelled overland to the basement of Hoover Tower, a location which inspired his harolded undergraduate treatise on erotocism C66 Stan. L. Rev. 8041. Department heads, fearing a slight to yet another Steinbeck, waived further graduation requirements. After a token appearance with the law school class of '69, Doug accepted a six-month sabbatical to master the art of pole climbing in the National Guard, an experience which, not unlike the study of law, gave him a deep perception of world problems. Looking back on his law school years, Doug claims as his greatest distinction his forbearance from all class discussion, save one involuntary coughing spasm which thwarted for a full ten minutes The Dean's well-prepared sermon on the Corporate Vacuum Cleaner. After graduation Doug plans to write keynotes for the Dicennial Digest. 4f'l0c ,5a,c ff70 1 RICHARD MORNINGSTAR I was born on March 20, 1945 in Newton, Massachusetts and grew up a few blocks away in Brookline. I traveled the grand distance of three miles to go to college at Harvard, where Imajored in Government, but then I took a gigantic three thousand mile step and came to law school at Stanford. On the way I stopped off in Portland, Oregon to pick up a wife. And since coming to Eden we have had a baby boy, known to most as Boom, and we are currently expecting another baby fboyj.

DANIEL H. MacMEEKIN DALE L. MATSCHULLAT Born in Fort Sill, Oklahoma but now of 1Y status and unable to return, Dale pursued an academic career of remarkable stability, spending seven years not only at Stanford, but in the same corner of the Quad. As an undergraduate, Dale majored in history, minored in political science, and graduated with honors. At the law school, Dale has spent the bulk of his time with the law review and his spare time going to class. As Note Editor and Coordinator of the Note Department in his third year, Dale found time for that spare-time activity particularly scarce. To broaden his horizons beyond the Stanford campus, Dale and wife Went East during the summer of 1969 while Dale worked in New York with Davis, Polk and Wardell.

He graduated from Yale in 1966, after which he spent a year in Brazil getting married His . greatest achievements in law school include recovering a 1 Y classification and suing his landlord. He is known for having discredited first year courses, first year profs, the grading system, or himself or perhaps all four, but not necessarily in that order. He is also known for having credited second year courses, second year profs, the grading system, or himself, or perhaps all four, but again not necessarily in that order. He prefers Bill Russell to Wilt Chamberlain, Pope to Milton George C. Scott to John Wayne, Julia Child to Peg Bracken, and Juan Valdez to Mrs. Olsen. He appreciates Brahms, Goya, and Blue Mountain Jamaican coffee. When overextended in academia, he turns to serious pursuits such as jogging, playing the piano, cooking exotic desserts looking for squash courts, and composing cynical poems. Bill plans an

CHRISTOPHER J. MUNCH and Congressmen, in part: mind and pride of spirit. MARTIN PP. O,CONNELL It was a laugh a minute. I don't care what anybody says. It was a second chance for guys who didn't get enough out of high school the first time around. I guess it'd be kind of disappointing if you had hopes of getting prepared for the real world, but after all, this is a school and there were a lot of strong points, too. The fussball machine at the Alley was always good for 8 balls and the price was right for popcorn at the Goose. And if you had to spend 4 years in South Bend you'd appreciate rain in the winter. Donit forget the inspiring extracurricular activities either. How about a Lone Mountain mixer to top off an intellectually exhausting week with a real cultural experience? Of course, it wasn't all roses fthanks to Ralstonj. I never could get a root beer float in the pub. The cushions on the Crothers pool table were no prize either. I hate to think how many hours .were wasted trying to make a U turn on El Camino. And just once I'd like to buy a hamburger without getting stuck with a bag of potato chips. Briefing and outlining were the biggest headaches, though. I still have problems with them. They hardly leave me enough time to read all the law review articles I'm interested in. But all this hard work has brought me to one conclusion about the law: If half the cases I've read haven't been rung up ona cash register, then the lunatics that write opinions are even farther gone that the clowns you run into around here. GARY S. OKABAYASHI Hawaii. On Feb. 8, 1966, Virgil Bozarth wrote to all United States Senators For the first time in my life of over 66 years I am ashamed of my country. America is tlouting the dream of its fomfathers Our honor is smirched abroad and the realization of our shame is dawning at home CPerhaps the truest patriots are the protesters J On Sept. 26, 1969, Elizabeth Hedger wrote to John Perrin who had ,y been convicted of willfully refusing induction in part 1 I p Having been on the jury who found you guilty according to the present antiquated, immoral law, I feel compelled to write to you There is a great respect in me for your motives and a great admiration. I do so hope that many have the same courage to use their intelligence and honest conviction to the good of humanity My best wishes are with you.
