Ninety per cent of class of 1975 ·employed HtCEIVEO MAY 71976 OfFICE OF THE PRESIDENT With rumors abounding as to the bleakness of the current job market for lawyers, those of us with teaching degrees or CPA's are finding solace in the knowledge that if all else fails, we . can always fall back on those good old practical professions. Those of us who engaged in more esoteric pursuits in undergrad school and those of us who feel a compulsion to put our long years of legal training to use may find some small comfort in a memo sent out by Clara Coleman in early April. We reprint in its entirety below. "The following is the final reoort taken on the Februarv and June classes of 1975. These figures have been forwarded to the National Association for law Placement for entry into a computer with reports from . other law schools around the country. They will serve as a Graduation to be June 13 Loyola law School Graduation will be held June 13, 1976, at the Palmer House. The evening of celebration will begin at 5:00p.m. with a cocktail hour in the Red lacquer Room, and the festivities will continue with dinner served promptly at 6:00p.m. in the Grand Ball Room. Immediately following dinner the main speaker will give a short speech, followed by the presentation of various awards. Concluding the program will be the bestowing of degrees. Mter the main speaker's address and prior to the award presentation, the graduates will recess to a nearby room to don caps and gowns and to line up alphabetically to re-enter the Grand Ballroom for the awards and degrees ceremonies. There will be seats available for relatives and friends who desire to attend only the graduation ceremony. However, because of limited space, there will be a maxinnun of two (2) non-dinner tickets per graduate. In order to defray the cost of the roo!T). used for the graduation ceremony, the price of non-dinner tickets will be $2.00. Dinner tickets are $16.00 each and will not be limited in number. People who desire more than two non-dinner tickets may order them through another graduate who is not using his or her allotted tickets. The SBA Graduation Committee will not handle such speciai requests. H a sufficient number of people indicate a desire for a professional photographer, we will arrange for one to be present. However, the financial arrangement will be worked out between the individual graduate and the photographer, not the Graduation Committee.

From the Dean Dean Murdock has released the following tidbits for public consumption: The Dean has explained his proposal for the improvement of library security. Essentially, this proposal calls for the control of traffic flow and book removal through the employment of electronic signalling devices. Ingress and egress from the law school building would also be controlled. The proposal calls for an integration of the first and second floors of the library. Access to the tunnel into Marquette Center coold be gained only through the back (sooth) stairway. The Circulation Deoarbnent in the basement will be separated from the passageway access. The Circulation Department and texts in the basement would be accessable only through the front (north) stairways and the elevator. Students would have to pass through protection devices as they enter the areas where the books are located. The Dean suggests that protective devices be installed on the first floor in front of the reception desk. Access to the stacks from the hallway opposite the women's washroom would be blocked. In addition, he has suggested that glass doors be installed on the second and third floor study rooms to reduce the noise level in these areas. An alternative proposal has been submitted by Chief Li}}. rarian Alfred Kulys. His proposal calls for the installation of a book detection system in the first floor hallway. The student lounge would be moved to waht is now the periodicals room and access to the Marquette Center tunnel could be gained only through that lounge. The northwest stairway would lead into the Circulation Department in the basement. Kulys, like the Dean, suggests that access to the stacks on the first floor be limited. The baSls tor p.lanillJlg and general information about the legal field for this past year. As you will soon be able to tell from comparison with various other law schools in the midwest, Loyola of Chicago has once again done exceptionally well. I hereby extend my deepest ap-preciation for the extraordinary cooperation shown by the 1975 class members. ••••••••••••••••• 165 graduates in 1975 (149 June; 16 February). 147 responded to questionnaires or 89 percint of the class. •••••••••••••••••• Of the 147 respondents, 133 were employed, or 90 percent total employment. 126 of these were in a legal capacity, or 86 percent legally employed. ••••••••••••••••••• 7 employed in a non-legal capacity (2 accountants, 1 teacher, and 4 corporate employees.). ••••••••••••••••••• 18 persons did not respond to any of the three seperate distributions of questionnaires ( 11 percent of total class), so these had to be placed in the "unknown" category on the NALP survey. Black©}~CF® Loyola University School of Law Nettleton Memorial· dedicated A portrait of Chief Justice Warren Burger was dedicated in the Moot Court Room on Tuesday, May 3 to the memory of James Nettleton Mr. Nettleton, who was a 1967 graduate of the law school, died recently of cancer. The portrait was presented by the University in his memory. While an Assistant Public defender at 26th and California, Mr. Nettleton gained his colleagues' respect as an out-standing trial attorney. During the dedication ceremony, Dean Tornquist related an incident in which Mr. Nettleton was appointed to defend an indigent accused of murder. He won an acquittal after using his own funds to fly to Houston Texas in search of an eye witness who he brought back to Chicago for trial. The testimony of the witness, through an interpreter, showed that the defendant was innocent. This example of Nettleton's diligence and personal sacrifice in the pursuit of justice is a model for all lawyers. Present at the Dedication Ceremony were Mrs. James Nettleton, his widow; Mrs. David Nettleton, his mother, and several members of the immediate family; as well as University Chancellor Reverend James Maguire and Dean, Tornquist and Dean Murdock. j.f.

That proposal is scheduled to be released in early June and it is Blackacre Editorials Viva BLACKACRE Our editorship comes to an end with this issue and we'd like to extend thanks to all of our readers for putting up with us through these last 27 issues. Reports of Blackacre's death two years ago were greatly exaggerated and, in fact, the future now looks very bright indeed. Peggy Scanlan, 2D and Bernie Wieler, lD, will be co-editors of next year's Blackacre. Peggy has been an assistant editor the past few years and is familiar with all aspects of publication. Bernie was editor of Loyola's undergrad paper, the Phoenix, last year. He is easily the most qualified editor of Blackacre in the last five years. Peggy would have been the best looking editor · ever if we hadn't robbed her of her beauty sleep so often in these past two years. Look for big things from these two, beginning with a special summer issue. As for us, its been a lot of fun and thanks again. I know Jim Faught was tough to put up with at times but I managed it. Mike McLaren •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I would add my personal thanks to those who have worked with us this year and last, as well as to those who have offered constructive, destructive and even inane criticism. My warmest thanks to Marge Orbon and Peggy Scanlan who have been the lifeblood of the Blackacre effort for the past two years. Their sacrifices have gone virtually unnoticed while Mike McLaren takes credit for their work. Without their energy and spirit, I am stire that the time heretofore spent on Blackacre . would ha'1:e been wasted on the 16th floor of Lewis Towers Jim Faught A much deserved paean, We had our doubts when Jerry Latherow was elected SBA president last spring. We wondered whether a country boy from southern Illinois could possibly handle big city school government. Our fears were never realized. Latherow took charge early and the result has been a greatly improved law school. An early editorial in this paper bemoaned how smoothly things were running - there was no controversy; students were too happy. This state of affairs is due in no small part to the efforts of La the row. He has been a tireless worker and everyone here owes him a big THANK YOU. While we're praising people, there is one more individual who deserves mention. Incredibly, amazingly, one person at Loyola taught legal writing, served on the Moot Court Team and Moot Court Board, was a member of Law Review, worked on the Graduation and Speaker's Committees, was Business Manager of Blackacre and filled the post of Vice-President of the SBA. Marge Orbon did all this and will probably still graduate. She is a prime example of a law student who does more than just study but actually works to make the school a better place. It's been a privilege being associated with these people. m.m. j.f. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Congratulations are in order for Mr. William Lamey, who is about to conclude his thirtieth year of teaching at Loyola Law School. Lamey began at Loyola in 1946, when the school reopened after being closetl for four years during World War II. When asked about his career, Mr. Lamey related, "I could never have picked a more satisfying life's work overall. Oh, there are some lousy aspects - grading those damn papers is the worst part of the job- but little can compare with the satisfaction I get out of classroom teaching."_ _ Blackacre congratulates Mr. l:.amey and wishes; ' him many_ p10re years .on Loyola's facliltlY :~~;;iit. F.~·~.·. Lettets t()\ the edltot Help needed Dear Fellow Students, The SBA is in the process of initiating plans for next year. There are many projects in contemplation and much help will be needed so I am encouraging your active participation in your student government. Some of the areas in ·which . assistance will be necessary are: Student-Faculty Relations Connnittee Curriculum Connnittee Library Connnittee Academic Standards Com. Speakers Program ABA - LSD Graduation 1977 Symposium Booksale Orientation Housing If interested, please drop a note off at the SBA office or with your SBA Representative including your name, address, phone and area of preference or experience. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Jack Moran Thanks The concert at the Emerald Isle, the Tansey-Cranch tennis match and World Food Day collections netted $341 for World Food Day. At Present, these funds are being distributed to food relief organizations here in Chicago and abroad. (See the next issue of Blackacre for a final report.) Below is a letter from the recipient of the funds which were collected earlier this year for the Guatemalan Relief Fund. Dear Students; In the name of the monks of Marmion Abbey, - particularly those who are serving the Church in Guatemala, I wish to express our deep appreciation for the generous donation of $40 which you recently sent to us for the "Solola Relief Fund" after having recieved our name from Sister SUzanne Zuercher. This will be forwarded to our community in Solola to be used exclusnrely for the relief of those who have become homeless and impoverished by the devastating earthquake of Fe~ ruary 4, 1976. We are deeply moved by the great rnunber of persons who responded to our appeal. Because of this generous outpouring of charity to the cry of the poor, many for whom the situation seemed alrnoot hopeless will now be enabled to make a new beginning. Be assured that we at Marmion Abbey pray each day for all our generous benefactors . confident that they, too, will be enriched by the generosity of their gift. Sincerely yours in Christ, Right Reverend David J. Cyr, O.S.B. Abbot We echo the spirit of these words in thanks to those who were so generous. We hope that an awareness of the problems of world hunger will carry over throughout the year. Thanks. "Least We Can Do" Connnittee For most of us, Law School is a full time job, requiring all our energy and concentration. It is because of this that special recogintion is due .Trm Faught and Jim Ford for their efforts toward World Food Day. Ford and Faught have organized and conducted a school fund drive, a benefit concert at the Emerald Isle and a charity tennis match. All told these efforts have raised $372.00. While $372.00 may not seem like much to us fat Americans, it will be enough to feed hundreds of impoverished poor overseas, where an entire meal can be bad for pennies. Hats off to ttJese gentlemen for their efforts and their energy in a worthy cause. Graduation rip-off Dear Editors, After receiving the "happy announcement" of the graduation plans and discussing some of the more objectionable aspects thereof with some of the "decision makers", I have become convinced that the democratic process that we have spent the last three years analyzing, died in the SBA office. The wake will be held in the Red Lacquer Room-the burial in the Grand Ballroom of the Palmer House. I have been made to understand that input from graduating seniors concerning how they wanted their exercises conducted was not solicited because there would be too many diverse opinions!(?). Other comments inclu,ded, "People wouldn't stay for the dinner if the graduation ceremony was held first." The three most pressing qu~ tions that I posed remain unanswered. Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to whether: (1) the success of the planned festivities is dependent on a "captive audience" , (2) we really want to "penalize for poverty"? (There is unlimited. space for the affluent "dinner ticket patrons" but limited space [two tickets) for those "unfortunate" or "unwilling" to pay $16 per ticket); and (3) we would choose to humiliate the "unfortunate" or "unwilling" graduate and his family or guests by having them sit along the sides of the banquet hall watching the feastin~ by those at the "round tables·' (spectator bleachers are $2 a seat.) It would seem to me that on an occasion as solemn but joyous as a law school graduation, each and every graduate and his loved ones should be allowed to participate in dignity. sincerely, Lynn Thapedy • •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Before attempting to compa;e Dean Murdock. ~nd s~nd behind those de?i-a letter expressing my appre- Throughout this year the SlOns Wlth ~~ ~ttempt to shift ciation to those who have helped Dean has tirelessly displayed a the respollSlbility to another. me this year I was unaware compelling desire to improve My personal thanks go to the how difficult ~ch a task would the law school and the at:rmo;...

Juech~ To~_!!oche to~ . · ·---·------- Jerry Latherow Norman gets picture in paper Admissions for class of '79 Professor Robert Spector has annoWlced that the Admissions Committee has received 164 tuition deposits for the day session in the fall of 1976. He said that over 200 such deposits are expected. The day session bas from 140 to 150 openings. Spector stated that 15 deposits have also been received for the night session in which there are 70 to 75 openings. The admissions program has revitalized since mid-March, when Mrs. Mary Boland was hired. She has spent most of her time working with nearly 2000 applications for admission. Mrs. Boland is enthusiastic about her role in admissions and emphasizes the two areas that she feels need improvement. First, in order to develop better communication with the applicants, she feels that it is vital that the status of the applicant's file be known. She will inaugurate a card system which will make this information more readily available to the Admissions Committee. When a file is ' complete, the applicant will be notified by postcard. He will also be notified in the event that his file is incomplete at a late From the Dean hoped that it will call for sweeping improvements in the physical facility. Concerning the report of the ' Blue Ribbon Committee, the Dean said, "I am eagerly awaiting it to see if it confinns or conflicts with my opinion as to the adequacy of our facilities. There is no question but that our present accomodations are tight. On the other hand, " he said, "there has been some misinformation about the resources of the law school." Specifically, the Dean was referring to an article published recenlty in "learning and the Law" which tabulated a n d mathematically rated the law schools. Based on the statistics presented in that article, Loyola ranked at the bottom of Group 6, behind John Marshall, among others. Murdock pointed out, however, that Loyola was evaluated on the basis of inna~curate information concerning the student-faculty ratio, studentvolume ration, rnunber of faculty members and faculty- volume ratio. A recalculation of the statistics using accurate figures would place Loyola at the top of Group 5, just behind DePaul and Notre Dame. Northwestern and University of Chicago were both rated in Group 1, while Chicago Kent was in Group 7. There have been some faculty changes for next year. Professor William Lemke will teach For your information ... Many of your mostfWl~ tal questions concerning graduation, registration, scheduling, grading, goof-ups, riJH)ffs, and other administrative items can be answered by the staff ~ hers who have been made available to students in the first floor offices. Mrs Mary Boland · is now in the front office with Mary Wuertz. Questions corr , cerning transcripts, bar appli, cations, loan requests, fonns, and procedures can usually be ' · attended to in the front office. Mary Wuertz has been in the office for a year now, and Mrs. Boland has worked in the University office for several years. Both are very knowledgable in Loyola procedures. Assistant to the Dean, John Buckley is a legally trained administrator. He does not have teaching or research responsibilities, and can devote his full time to Administrative matters and service to students. He is availavle to students throughout the day. For your information ... ask these people who know. only the first semester next year and in the years following. Lemke had planned to retire at the end of this year, but the Dean said that an arrangement was worked out whereby Mr. Lemke would teach each fall seihester. Lemke has been a full time instructor since 1967 after serving in a part time capacitysince 1961. When asked about his plans, Lemke merely stated that he was looking forward to teaching the courses he enjoys teaching, and then having time to do the things he has wanted to do. Ms. Ann McCallister has resigned and will not return next year. Professor Hugh Dick has accepted an offer from Lewis and Clark University in Oregon to become a visiting professor for one year. He is, therefore, taking a leave of absence and will return in the fall of 1977. Murdock said that William Killbridge, a local tax practitioner, has been hired to teach next fall. Mr. Killbridge taught at Loyola in the late 1960's. Murdock hinted that the faculty has approved an estates and tax instructor, but declined to give names pending final approval. Next spring, Professor John Freeman of the University of South Carolina will serve as visiting professor in the area of Securities. Freeman was voted the outstanding professor at South Carolina and has pub- Swnmer Research Positions Several faculty members will be engaged in research activity this summer looking toward the production of manuscripts for textbooks or Law Review articles and I would like to make available to them student research assistants, while at the same time providing financial assistance for the students. As I envision this program, it will be funded jointly by the Law School and work study. It will be possible for a student to be compensated on the basis of 10 to 40 hours per week, depending. upon financial need.. Any student interested should first insure that he or she. has a financial assistance application on file with Mr. Gene Knight in 1 Room 600 of Lewis towers (the financial aids office), and should then contact Dean Murdock. We hope to be able to . acconunodate several students in this program ••••••••••••••••••• .all:s19b ~jnJl 1fll date. Secondly, Mrs. Boland has felt it important to humanize admissions - specifically by improving the telephone image. She said that as a mother she can fully Wlderstand the frustrations of an applicant and that she feels it is important that an applicant realize he is being treated as a person not a rnunber. Mr Sepctor underlined this point by stating that Loyola is one of the few law schools that does interview applicants. He said that studies have shown that predictions of success are lished a 250 page survey of the mutual fWld industry in the 1969 Notre Dame Lawyer, which is generally regarded as the definitive work in the area. The Dean said he is exploring the possibility of renting a legal research computer. Associate Dean Tornquist stated earlier that there would be a demonstration of the computer in the law school on Wed., May 5. Tornquist said that every law school in Missouri now has access to. one, as do many legal finns in the city. The cost to rent the computer for one year is $18,000.00. The computer, known as Lexis, contains materials and decisions from the f e d e r a 1 courts,...state decisions of New York, Ohio, Missouri, Texas, Illinois, Kansas, c8lifornia and Pennsylvania, and other information The computer is not now covered in the budget. As far as faculty reaction to it, Tornquist stated, "it's not a question of 'if', it's a question of 'when'." Dean Murdock also stated that those students who wish to enter extern programs for the swnmer should notify the office if they have not made independent arrangements to be placed with a qualified program Also, Notre Dame Law School's Year Abroad program has been offered to Loyola The Dean's Office indicates that there is a possibility that, through the work study program, tbey may be able to employ a couple of summer research assistants during the course of the summer. Anyone who is interested should register with the Office of Financial Aid (Room 609, Lewis Towers) ; and should drop the Dean regarding such interest. •••••••••••••••••• All those presently holding scholarships who wish to renew them and those who wish to apply must send a brief note of intent to Dean Murdock. In · addition, financial data must be submitted to the University Office of Financial Aid where Mr. Gene Knight will coordinate all applications. An assessment of financial need will then be given to the law school and used in conjWlction with the applicant's academic record when scholarship decisions are made. 3'J~ fu•! ~4\~~ ~L~~~. .~ ~!}! • • -s"Iq9i oj Sd!XlH mo' i bas n:>SU 1, less accurate when based on impressions from interviews than when based on grade point averages and lSAT scores. As a result, many schools refuse to interview applicants. Because of a willingness to consider factors other than the admissions formula in the past few years, the entire Blackacre staff was admitted to Loyola. Professoc Spector indicated that the statistical quality of applicants seems to be higher than in previous years. Students are evaluated on the basis of a computation which adds the grade point average times ~o students through Notre Dame. Any student wishing to study abroad for a year should contact the Dean's offiee for details. Finally, the Dean made note of what the $30 graduation fee will cover. The cost of the diplomas, the caps and gowns, the graduation program and a contribution to the cost of renting McCormick P 1 a c e where the law school graduation could have been held with the rest of the University is covered by the fee. Murdock, who favored the alternative of having a law school graduation ltmcheon after the regular University graduation, stated that this graduation fee will not defray the expense of food and entertainment at the separate law school ceremony. j.f.

Students can gain valuable experience in trial preparation and trial work in declaratory judgment cases, mandamus, quo warranto and injWlctions. There is also work experience to be gained in appeals. Any law student with a 7.11 certification will have the opportunity to act as co-counsel in actual trials. Se~~ ~YCJ~iM~tuc,lep~ ,hflve participated m the oro~U=am to the LSAT score. Of the acceptances that have been sent out, none has had an "admission formula" score of less than 1200. The Admissions Committee received over 2, 700 LSD AS reports through the month of April. Not all of these were accompanied by applications. Spector said that the rnunber of applicants this year is roughly equivalent to last year's nwnber. He estimated the total applications received for the day session at 1500 and for the night session, approximately 400. j.r. Patent Mt .. Ct .. Team in o.c.- Loyola's Patent Moot Coort team fared well at the national competition in Washington D.C. on April 9 and 10. The team of AI Sternstein and Curt Edlund defeated the team from Washington University in Sl Louis for the first round. They were defeated, however, in the semifinals by Southwestern University of San Francisco. The competition was won by Emory University Law School from Atlanta, Georgia. Among the other finalists were Western -New England College, Hastings College, George Washington U. and the University of Tennessee. Judges of the competition were Barbara Ringer, Register of Copyright in Washington D.C., Judge Oscar H. Davis of the U.S. Court of Claims and I.utrelle F. Parker, the Deputy Commissioner of Patents. Moderator of Loyola's team, Professor William Lemke, was pleased with the showing of Sternstein and Edlund. "They did a very good job," he said, "and it was a close decision when we lost."

The occasion was the first Ed Crancb arurual Loyola World Food Day Tennis Benefit. The CranchTansey love-hate singles match was preceeded by a U1llque menage-a-trois match featuring male model Jim Faught vs. Dean Murdock and Hugh Dick.

BALSA Law Conference draws 150 The Citywide BALSA Alliance sponsored its third annual Law Day Conference at Loyola last Saturday.· The program was ~ funded by the ABA Law School Dinision in conjunction with funding from Loyola, Northwestern, and DePaul Loyola BALSA President, Nate Howes tenned the Conference a success and stated that over 150 were in attendance. Howes is Co-chairperson-of the Citywide BALSA Alliance. The program which began at 8:40 am offered a number of siminars and workshops throughout the day. As in the past years, IIUlch of the-agenda was directed at the prospective law student. Seminar topics included "Law as a Career," ''Entrance to Law School: the LSAT," "Sources of Financial Aid,' ' and ''The Law School Experience." Workshops on "Consumerism in the Black ComiiUlDity," "Constitutional Rights and the Individual," "Police Practices and the Black ComiiUlDity," "Legal Rights of Prisoners," "Appellate Advlr cacy," and "Criminal Trial Techniques," among others were also offered to students and non-studP.nts ~ lHr~> The program was completed nnt:, ., ro~ption and address with Cranch's air of biood-andgu1s, never-say-die competitiveness. Alas, crowd pleasers don't always triumph and nice girls do finish laSt. In a big finish that left Tansey gasping, Cranch showed an iron will and strong forehand despite his rather effete garb. He was a clear winner, much to the dismay of the hundred or so people in attendance who know him for what he is. It is rumored that these two will vent their competitive spirits again in a game of Parchese Professor Dick Dean Murdock at the International Amphitheatre. Two fans who weren't disappointed were Dave Heller, linesman, and Larry Acker, announcer. Heller, whose calls were only as good as his glasses, confided that, "there was no way Tansey was going to win. Girls belong in the kitchen and the bedroom, not on a tennis court." Acker, who was recovering from a rather arduous Florida vacation trip involving several females, could only echo Heller's sentiments. m.m . - Professor Dick Legal Clinic sununer sess•i on For those students interested -in gaining practical experience, the legal clinic will once again conduct a summer session. The session will begin with an orientation meeting at room 1224, 19 South LaSalle St. at 1:00 pm June 1, 1976. Students who have satisfactlr rily completed 1 year in the day division or two years in the evening division are eligible to enroll.
