61664 The Law School of the University was moved last tall from a downtown loca- tion onto the campus in one of the big- gest administrative changes of the year. Dean Roger H. Wolcott sponsors Delta Lambda Sigma, pre-legal honorary tra- ternity, is holder of three degrees and has engaged in private practice for twenty-three years. To give embryo lawyers the opportunity to acquire an insight into actual legal practice is the aim of the Moot Court, reorganized a few years ago under Dean Wolcott's leadership. The school enjoys the ad- vantages of location in a metropolitan center and field trips are frequently made to the numerous courts of Denver. Carrying on in their new en- vironment, the budding law- yers chose Sherman Sutliff, Alpha Kappa Psi, and Bob Johnson, who are shown here, and Forrest Mehlman and George Dunklee to lead their activities. The law school brought a professional atmosphere to the campus while the lawyers found the Student Union a valuable aid in their education. 6 1501 D ' sin-4 fu mi aww! nGVff'5l ns Han 9 1 DU! nflflb um ' , a 1 I 9 lit sam- hln lrniiln'

OWZWZWZDQ The Denver University School of Com- merce, located in downtown Denver, enjoys a national reputation as one of the country's finest business schools. The Commerce Bizads have their sphere of social activity and remain apart from the majority of campus ac- tivities. The dean of the school is Clem Collins. The dominant professional fraternity at Commerce is Alpha Kappa Psi, whose powerful political machine controls and elects their own candi- dates. Dr. Douglas Miller, former com- mercial attache for the U. S. in Berlin, and author of the best-selling novel You Can't Do Business with Hitler, is associated with the School of Com- merce. The Commerce stu d e n t s were ably represented by Orville Mahr, president, Beth Kliss, vice-president, Harvey Theander, interschool coun- cil representative, Leanna Allen, secretary, and Darwin Emry, treasurer. All three of the boys appeared at the spring tapping of O. D. K. so their integrity was unques- tioned. lncidentally, they were all members of Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity, proving that their long-time domina- tion of Commerce politics is I as strong as ever.
