DAVID ELSON 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 my graduation. While in law school I distingushed 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 the social sciences, I seek to foster social change with the same drive I bring to experimentation, through lack of preparation, in legal education. I often speak of lawyers as the last of the generalists - part philosopher, part manager - who shape institutions and programs to answer emerging needs. I am speaking of myself. f'ZK'694 ROBERT P. ETIENNE As the result of Bob's three years of legal aid activities and of his course in Legal Problems of the Poor, he has discovered that he is eligible for the following: welfare, indigent legal services, general assistance, social security, unemployment, and voluntary bankruptcy. In the next three years he hopes to qualify for the progressive income tax. fEd. note: his handwriting is impossible to read - he will make a good doctor at leastj.

MARTIN EICHNER 4'McWatt turned again, dipped his wings once in salute, decided oh, well, what the hell and flew into a mountain. DOLORES A. DONOVAN Dede received an A.B. in History and French in 1967 and a J.D. in 1970, both from Stanford. NORMAN V. ELFSTROM Norm came into the world on March 27, 1945, otherwise noteworthy as the day on which Nazi Germany tired its last V-2 rocket. With typical German accuracy, the rocket, which had been aimed at London, landed in a pea field in southern Sweden, much to the surprise of local Scandinavians enjoying their noon coffee. With Norm on the scene, the powers-that-be ended the war in a summary manner. During his last year in college, Norm was never quite convinced that he wanted to become a lawyer, and he still isn't. He was admitted to Harvard and Stanford, a quick comparison of the mean winter temperatures at Cambridge and Palo Alto made the decision an easy one. Law school has been something less than exciting for Norm, particularly the case of Martin v. Hunter 's Lessee, which he hasn't understood to this day. Rumors that Norm had a crush on Suzanne Close were unfounded in fact. Dick McKinney has reported that Norm has spent more time in his second and third years interviewing than he has studying, a report which was met with an indignant denial. A summer's clerkship in Hawaii taught Norm that legal research ina law firm is no more exciting than legal research is in law school. Most of his time was spent on the beach in an assiduous effort to contract skin cancer. Contrary to stories spread by some sinister souls, Norm found that haoles are as welcome at Ewa Beach and Haleiwa as they fand their dollarsj are at Waikiki. Also, contrary to popular opinion, Norm proved that dieters can lose weight on mangoes and papaya. Plans for the future are not settled, but Norm would like to try his hand at practice, probably in a small firm on the West Coast.

GEORGE M. FELDAN Born in Newark, N.J., George traveled off to Hamilton College, where he was the director of the college film society and worked on the college newspaper. After receiving his B.A. in Philosophy in 1966, George spent a year at the University of Geneva, Switzerland, studying the work of Heidegger and partaking of the cultural joys of the heterogenous, intellectual colony of students there. Dissatisfied, however, George - with the help of a pinball machine scholarship from the Oasis Foundation - enrolled at Stanford Law School, where he has participated in LSCRRC and in the Legal Aid Society. Next year George may follow Alan to the U.N. to work as a Legal Advisor for Shirley Temple Black. And then again, he may not . . . PRENTICE A. FISH A native of New England, Bud seems to have abandoned the Yankees and settled down in California. At least, he has been here for seven years, receiving his A.B. in Political Science from Stanford in 1967, where he was in the Ski Club and worked on the Chaparral. At the law school, Bud has been in the Legal Aid Society and has taken a particular interest in tax law. gee fini, ALAN E. FRIEDMAN B.A. Amherst College, 1967 J.D.
