Fundraisers Food fiestas raise funds The almighty dollar rules the existence of many student organizations, so fundraisers are often the life blood of these law school groups. Money-raising functions at the law school range from t-shirt sales by the Women’s Law Caucus to soliciting contributions from students to keep the law library open an extra two hours during weeknights and final exams, since budget cutbacks trimmed the hours. The Thurgood Marshall Legal Society filled its coffers by throwing a lunchtime meal for law students, local attorneys and other passersby who have a taste for barbecue and the trimmings. The Chicano Law Students Association raises funds each year by hosting a Fajita Fiesta, complete with zesty fajitas, beans and extras. Both fundraisers were resounding financial successes, according to ChLSA and TMLS members. TMLS ami CHLSA both threw noontime fundraisers, luring law students, attorneys ami other Austinites with feasts of barbecue ami fajitas. Tickets for both cost $5. 20 — Fundraisers
