Recreation All Work and No Play ... With all the work required by Law School, many students feel some play is also in order. At least two organizations. the Bachelors of Law and Delta Theta Phi. are purely social. And many classes end with the informal gatherings at local pubs. Beer drinking, football games in fall and kicker dancing arc popular pastimes. However. for some students with heavy work and school schedules, a lunch break and a perusal of The Daily Texan in the Tom Clark Lounge is about all the recreation for which they have time.

Speakers Lecturers Broaden the Scope of Legal Education BELOW: Judge Baxter spices his lecture with a bit of humor as John Eldridge listens closely. The endowed lectures enjoyed by the UT Law School add a dimension to legal education not found in the classroom. The Will E. Orgain Lecture, named for a Beaumont attorney who was an UT alumnus, was delivered this year by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Columbia law professor who has been very successful in arguing sex discrimination cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. Ms. Ginsburg spoke on the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment and the time extension for ratification granted by Congress and the constitutional questions raised by the extension. Law Week brought two lectures, the Vinson and Elkins Lecture by former Minnesota Congressman Donald Fraser and the Board of Advocates lecture by John Hill, the former Texas Attorney General, who spoke on the role of civil trial advocates. Two more endowed lectures, the Rain. Harrell. Emery. Young and Doke Lecture by Richard Baxter, now a judge on the International Court of Justice at The Hague, and the Seventh Annual Tom Sealy Law and the Free Society Lecture by The Honorable John C. Godbold, Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, are presented in the fall. Judge Baxter’s comments concerned the international legislative process. The decision-making process of a federal judge and the role played by facts, precedent, policy and advocacy in the process was the subject of Judge Godbold's remarks. 22— Speakers
