YEARBOCK YEARBOOK STAFF-SEATED: Wm. Westerbeke CEditorJ. STANDING: W. S. Stevens CBus. Mgr.7, J. Siegesmund CPhotographyJ, M. O'Connell CICILBPJ. E gk sag The 1970 Yearbook staff has attempted to depict life at the Stanford Law School. The picture is of necessity incomplete because, on the one hand, it is limited by the staffs perspective of what such life is even though most assuredly no one perspective will ever be sufficient to tell the whole story, and, on the other hand, no perspective - however sophisticated M could be depicted in still-life photographs when the real essence of the law school is the vitality and motion of all its component parts. We hope, how- ever, that our efforts have been successful enough to leave the participants with a few memories and those persons outside the law school a better understanding of the meaning of the Stanford Law School. At this juncture, a few words of explanation are in order. A number of the Comments in this yearbook -in the student bio- graphics, in the faculty biographies, and in the general copy and pictures throughout the book - could possibly be misinterpreted as being negative, criticial, or in bad taste. It has been the continual desire of the editor to avoid any such effects. However, I recognize that words or pictures that may be simply humorous to most may possibly be offensive to others. If such has been the case, then I apologize to those concerned. I simply repeat that our desire has been to make the yearbook comprehensive, readable, humorous and relevant. This year's product has truly been a group effort. A particular word of appreciation must go to John Siegesmund, whose photo- graphic efforts are so largely responsible for the success of the book, and to Steve Stephens, who undertook the financial pro- blems and handled them magnificently. And as usual Mike Wrightis art work truly makes the Yearbook. A special compliment must be given Professor Moffatt Hancock, whose artistic photography is reproduced on pages 2 and 3. Others who contributed their time and efforts are Pete Wilkinson, Marty O'Connell, Bart Kimball, Bobbi Miracle , Bo Abrams, Willie Robertson, Laura Palmer, Valerie McCrindle, Frank Evans, Dale Matschullat, Norm Elfstrom, Carol Rudy, Sam Cheris, Trig Davis, and Pat Reymann. The cooperation of innumerable others also deserves credit. Therefore, this year- book truly reflects the whole of the law school and I personally want to thank all those who helped. And with that I will happily terminate my career as a yearbook editor. Bill Westerbeke

PLACEME T COMMITTEE Spurred on by the individual dynamism of its five full-year members, the Placement Committee quickly exhausted its limited energies during the first semester by organizing itself and providing moral support for Suzanne Close, who is in charge of the Placement Office and who did nearly all the work as usual. A burst of energy in September set up Bill Westerbeke and John Genung in charge of placement with firms, Dede Donovan in charge of vocations for social change, and Jim McGee as liaison with the faculty placement committee. Peter Bell attempted to coordinate these areas and to watch over other aspects of placement. . The first term's work was limited to smoothing over the mechanics of an extensive interviewing season already set up by the Placement Office. Dede Donovan conducted a massive letter-writing campaign which resulted in filling up two bulletin boards with news of employers such as the NAACP legal Defense Fund, Inc. 'nd other socially oriented organizations. The basic work of the Committee commenced during the second term and included formulation and distribution of a questionnaire designed to discover what sort of public interest work and minority employment practices were engaged in by the firms which interview at Stanford Law School. Efforts were made to set up a special program to deal with the problems of employment for first-year stu- dents and to encourage more law iirms and more varied employers to visit the law school. Some people got jobs, which is more than they deserved, but the Placement Committee's effectiveness must be questioned - I'm the chairman and I don,t have a job. Peter Bell PLACEMENT COMMITTEE: J.
