THE QUAD Bob Vieweg .Z Ron Gilbert The Quad is the Law School's scrapbook, Through it we try to put the memories of our days in Law School into pictures. This year the Quad has attempted to increase the size of the book as well as the quality even though working with a small staff ffourj. Bill Wood has done a fine job as Business Manager. In addition to his chief function of selling ads and making money, Bill is handling the Quad's books independently of the Board of Directors this year. Hopefully, Bill will demon- strate his knowledge gained in Mr. Polasky's ac- counting course by coming out in the black flegallyl at the end of the year. Bob Viewig is again as- sisting the Quad. This year Bob has been chief counsel to the editor as well as handling the in- troductorysections and other odds and ends. George Cooney is again the chief photographer for the Quad. Thanks to George's excellent and numerous pictures, we have many more pictures in our scrapbook this year and also better pictures. In addition, much thanks goes to Mrs. Betts of the Recorder's Office and Miss Bliss of the Placement Office for their assistance and to the Board of Directors for entrusting me with this privilege.

RES GESTAE W W li ig 5' L George Cooney, Sports Editorg lay Witkin, Weekender Art Duiembai Editor This was a year of growth for Res Gestae, the weekly law school newspaper. Editor-in-chief Art Dulemba assemble.. the largest staff in over a decade and published a total of over 150 pages of All the News Fit to Print, Plus a Little More. A new multilith printing process, and a redesigned masthead complemented six regular weekly columns, student letters, and an occasional ode. Newsbeat editors Wm. H. Conner and Steve Petix scooped every paper in the cotmtry by reporting the appointment of Francis Allen as Dean-elect, hours before the Board of Regents released the news of their formal approval. George A. Cooney called the grid pix correctly 9 out of 10 times in his sports column, which nearly motivated him to cross over to the other side of the law. Chris Cohen serialized the first chapter of his book Cohen's Corner in 28 installments, discussing a range of topics from female law students to faculty views on Vietnam demonstrations. Mixers and movies received the once-over by Jay Witkin and Robert Pyle, who would often boast of having first seen the fihns they reviewed. Both Pyle and Brian Eisenberg, circulation managers, personally delivered door to door 950 Res Gestaes each week. Setting some sort of endurance record, Lynn Bartlett attended Board of Directors meetings and made his findings public in Report from the Board, while John Chamberlain covered the tracks of the legal aid society in Legal Aid Briefs. Behind every historic venture there stands a womang and Res Gestae was thrice blessed with the assistance of typlst Gay Ford, rnultilith specialist Shirley Jolmson, and steno-pool director Dolores Fisher who oh so often soothed the newspapers growing pains.

The club meets every Tuesday over lunch in the Law Club Faculty Dining Room. Advocates membership numbers eighteen aspiring orators who range the talent spectrum from tyro to master. Advocates takes very seriously its task of turning each member into a more competent public speaker, but tempers its aims with a maximum of regalement. The goal of every meeting is to place as many speakers behind the rostrum with as challenging an assignment as is possible during a luncheon meeting. The speaking assignments range from a prepared informative or humorous speech to a im- promptu harangue requiring quick comment on some narrow subject like civil rights or war. Once aterm, the members demonstrate their forensic tricks before wives and dates during an evening banquet at which even the young women, albeit a bit reluctantly, may be called upon to say a word or two. The Advocate prospectus is elemental: talking done well, is not only an entertaining diversion but is vital to a future in a loquacious profession. 44
