ACTIVITIE Courting Justice in thc Temple

The advent of spring saw us pity the incoming midyear frosh, as they tuned a puzzled ear to Joiner's music, and begin to explore the wisdom of the evil cans. The imminence of the horrors of that final week in June did not dim the glories of coffee dates, blanket picnics in the Arb, kite-flying and pcnny-pitch- ing in the quad, and birthday parties in the P-Bell. Grease Ball lured us into illusory hope that all could not intellectually be in vain. After all there would not be room for all in Law Review, and maybe we'd see the hnals of Campbell Competition instead. The coming of spring turned the undergraduate-law-library users' minds to other than bookish pursuits, and we eagerly sought chairs in which to prepare the outlines for that final dreaded week. That final week? YVith President Jerry Bader faithfully leading, as a reasonably prudent first-year Wfolverine lawyer in the same or similar circumstances, that final week came and went so fast we did not know or care what had hit us.

ORDER OF THE COIF 'E he most ancient of all honor societies, the Order of the Coif, originally a forensic institution dating back to the thirteenth century in England, evolived out of a tight little group of distinguished jurists who would select new members from the ranks of the apprentices, who had to prove their superior ability by pleading a real action' in old Norman French. If these apprentices passed the test, they were initiated by a ceremony not unlike the coronation of royaltyg they were awarded the coif, a tight-fitting cap, which was worn constantly, even in royal presence. Judges were taken only from the Order. Today, the Order of the Coif is a national law school honor society, founded for the purposes of encouraging legal scholarship and advancing the ethical standards of the legal profession. Its members are selected by the faculty from the upper ten per cent of the September, February and June graduating classes, based upon the grade averages at the end of the fifth semester. The election and initiation ceremonies are held during the spring of each year. TEN PER CENTERS. STANDING: Mssrs.
