BOARD OF DIRECTORS Representative Gerald Ford Wilbur Cohen The Fall Semester program of the Speakers Bureau covered a broad range of issues with its seven sessions. The program was inaugurated by the co-author of Portrait of an Assassin, John Stiles, who discussed the work of the Warren Commission. Mr. Stiles served as Special Assistant to a member of the Warren Commission, Congressman Gerald Ford, and therefore was in an excellent position to comment on interesting sidelights of the investigation which were not generally known to the public. The School was fortunate to have the opportunity to have the Chief Judge of the Juvenile Court of Israel, David Reifen visit the school. Judge Riefen was on nation wide lecture tour of colleges and universities. The Judge presented a most interesting discussion of Cultural Con- flict and Juvenile Delinquency in Israel. The first of four speakers in the series to appear from Washington was the dynamic, articulate trial lawyer from the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, Nick Flannery. We entertained a large crowd of student and faculty members with his facts and figures of civil rights progress in the South. The first of two Congressmen to speak was Robert Kastenmeir a member of the House Judiciary Committee. He too had thoughtful observations on civil rights but from a different perspective - Capitol Hill. The only faculty member to appear on the Speakers program was Professor Beverly Pooley. He gave a delightful and humorous talk and slide show of his ex- periences as a teacher at the Law School in Ghana. A most distinguished civil servant, Wilbur J. Cohen, the Under Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, appeared to discuss some of the new social legislation passed by this Congress. The President of the American Bar Association, Edward Kuhn, conducted an afternoon session with in- terested students in what proved to be a most rewarding discussion of a B.A. policy. Law students turned out en masse to hear the Minority Leader of the U. S. House of Representatives, Gerald Ford. Mr. Ford briefly discussed some of his thoughts of the Johnson administration, and then in a question and answer period talked over subjects of the student's choosing. And on that note, the Fall schedule of speakers drew to a close.
