Recruiting
Program
By Elizabeth Ward
According to an October report pre­pared
by the Kentucky Legislative Research
Commission for the Professional Schools
Admissions Committee, only nine states
were found to have any special recruitment
programs for their professional schools. All
nine of those states recruited for medical
students and six states recruited applicants
for dental school, . while only five of the
nine recruited for law students. Because
applicants to professional programs are
usually far in excess than can be accommo­dated
in any one year, recruitment for pro­fessional
schools has traditionally been con­sidered
unnecessary. Furthermore, no
effort has been made to recruit students
from under-served or under-represented
areas of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
in spite of a general agreement that the pro­fessional
student's eventual location of prac­tice
is related to the student's location of
previous residence.
Until the 1978-79 school year, the Uni­versity
of Louisville School of Law had not
conducted an active recruitment program
because of "an overabundance of unsolicited
applicants and a lack of funds for recruit­ment
purposes ... " However, early in
the 1978-79 school year, the law school
invited pre-law advisors from throughout
the state to attend an on-campus luncheon
to receive first-hand information about the
program and the school.
Again this year, on September 28, 1979,
the law school held a "Pn:-Law Day,"
inviting not only in-state and out-of-state
pre-law advisors, but also any interested
students the advisors might bring with them.
This invitation resulted in eleven advisors
and thirty-eight students from across Ken­tucky
and Southern Indiana. The colleges
and universities sending advisors and/or stu­dents
were: Asbury, Bellarmine, Brescia,
Campbellville, Cumberland, Eastern Ken­tucky,
Georgetown, Hanover, Louisville,
Morehead, Murray, and Western Kentucky.
Besides being informed of the procedures
and requirements for admissions, many of
the advisors and students sat in on Con­stitutional
Law I classes being taught by
Professor Knowles and Professor Stenger.
After a luncheon at Masterson's Restau­rant,
the visitors were conducted on a tour
of the law school and law library by third­year
students Steve Arnett, Lisa Hughes,
Janice Martin, Jim Seiffert, and Stephanie
Hawkins Smith.
According to Associate Dean Norvie
Lay, who was primarily responsible for the
planning, paperwork, and implementation
of Pre-Law Day, "the whole idea was to
get these schools exposed to thinking of us
as an alternative ... nothing high pressure
... just to see the facilities, present and
planned, and see us in operation." Dean
Lay wrote back to all student~ and pre-law
advisors who came inviting the'm to return
at any time and, if enough were interested,

Dean Harold G. Wren uses an architect's model of the proposed law school addition to emphasize a point during his State of the Law
School address.
Dean's Message: ABA's Standards Met
Dean Harold G. Wren spoke optimistically
about the general condition of the School
of Law in a "State of the Law School"
address given in the Allen Court Room on
October II, 1979. As he outlined various
strengths and weaknesses of current pro­grams,
Dean Wren fielded questions from
the audience and emphasized that progress
has been made in the past year toward
correcting several areas of special concern.
Many of those concerns relate to criticisms
leveled at the School of Law by the Ameri­can
Bar Association's Committee on Ac­creditation,
the most serious of which is an
inadequacy of the law school facility. The
Dean reported that a "I 00 percent review"
of building plans will be made on November
9, 1979, in Frankfort and, if finally approved
at that meeting, construction bids will be let
so that the work can begin on schedule in
January, 1980.
The cost of the building project is
$5,900,000, including $4.2 million ear­marked
for new construction, $.5 million
for renovation, and $1.2 million for tan­gential
costs not readily visible. "When
completed," Dean Wren boasts, "our physi­cal
plant will be the finest in the Common­wealth
of Kentucky."
One benefit of the additional building
will be to increase the growth potential for
some programs which have been inhibited
in past years. Speaking of recent expansions
in the continuing legal education program
(CLE), Dean Wren explained that current
facilities "are not adequate to hold CLE
functions, or even to accommodate alumni
and other programs. Not only has this lack
of facilities made CLE and alumni programs
difficult, it has reduced the opportunity
for substantial contact between the law
school faculty members and students and
the bench and bar. This will be completely
corrected."
The student/faculty ratio, another area
of non-compliance cited by the ABA in its
accreditation report, was termed by Dean
Wren as "the most important statistic in
any law school." He pointed out that "we
have brought this figure down to a level
which is in line with modern legal educa­tion.
Most persons in law teaching believe
that 20: I is about right. This year we are at
a ratio of 20.32: I. To achieve this result,
however, we have had to use restricted
funds for one faculty position. This is a
temporary measure which we hope to have
corrected by obtaining one more faculty
position in the 1980-81 biennial budget."
Enrollment this year is 508, compared with
567 in the fall of 1978, which also accounts
for the smaller ratio.
Deficiencies in the evening division pro­gram
have also been corrected according to
Dean Wren. "We remain totally committed
to the concept of the evening division,"
he stated, adding that "the evening division
is now on a par with the day division inso­far
as the quality of instruction is concerned.
Over 75 percent of the hours taught in both
divisions are now taught by full-time faculty
members."
Dean Wren spoke of a visit on October
23, 1979, by ABA representatives as one to
"determine the extent to which we have
lived up to the commitments that we have
made," and predicted that it "should be the
last visit for some time." In a subsequent
interview, he stated that there remain no
areas cited by the ABA where the School
of Law can be said to be in non-compli­ance
. "In some areas we are at minimal
compliance, but in others we are well over
the minimum." The Accreditation Com­mittee
will meet in November, 1979, to
make a full report of its findings . Dean Wren
cautioned that the Committee rarely takes
"positive action ... usually their actions,
if any, are negative in nature. You never
expect any pats on the back.''
In response to a question from a student
in the audience concerning the low number
of minority students attending the law
school, Dean Wren indicated that this is the
first year minority admissions has fallen
below the national average. Continuing, he
said, "The average nationally in the pro­fession
itself is around 3.2 percent. But our
averages have been running at about 3.5,
3.6, and 3.7 percent ... One year were
over 4 percent, but this year we are under
3 percent and this is the first time we've
been under 3 percent in ten years . .. It is
low by national standards because the na­tional
standards are low."
Responding to another question, Dean
Wren stated that a night librarian position
has not yet been filled and indicated the
library desk's hours will not change from
what they have been in the past.
Other points made in the address dealt
with several different topics:
Placement: "One of the greatest needs of
the Law School at the present time is the
necessary funding for an adequate place­ment
program. At the present time we are
using a part-time employee who is being
paid from the personal funds of Professor
Marlin Volz. The ABA indicated that it may
well require a fulltime Placement Offi­cer
as a standard for accreditation. While
we can continue to use restricted funds for
some of the expenses of this office, place­ment
should be placed in the budget as a
line item as soon as possible."
Library: "The School of Law has been
fortunate in receiving strong support from
the central administration in the develop-

Editorial
Student Input Is Needed
The sparse attendance at Dean Wren's
"State of the Law School" address may say
more about the "state" of the law school
than anything revealed in the address itself.
whelming majority of evening division stu­dents
obviously could not attend at that
time.
Yet it does not seem possible that those
reasons alone can account for the apparent
dearth of student interest. And neither does
it seem that a paucity of issues can be re­sponsible.
If hallway conversations are to
be believed, many students are concerned
over such issues as accreditation, grading
procedures, financial aid funds, seminar
availability, and administrative rules_regard­ing
class attendance, among others.
It was, at most, a dismal turnout. With
the exception of three faculty members and
two representatives of the Examiner, only
three students were on hand to hear the
address and to question the Dean concern­ing
issues of student interest at the law
school. It is not unreasonable to assume
that most students are concerned enough
about the quality of their legal education,
or lack thereof, to participate in a func­tion
designed for their enlightenment and
sponsored by the school's chief administra­tor.
But where were they?
At the outset, several factors combined
to assure that the audience would be small:
l) Notice of the address probably escaped
those students who neither read the "Bulle­tin"
nor scrutinize all of the posters plas­tered
throughout the law school; 2) Some
students are enrolled in two classes which
meet at the same time the address was
given; 3) A number of students were likely
tending to clerking duties; and 4) The over-
Behind the SBA's recent resolution call­ing
for student representation on all stand­ing
committees is a belief that students
need an input into the school's policy­making
machinery. This is certainly a valid
need, but it is also one that can be satisfied
in varying ways. Accordingly, it is disap­pointing
to see any avenue of .input dis­regarded
by many students.
Perhaps Dean Wren's assessment is cor­rect
in saying that the small attendance
reflected "a good morale in the student
body . . . When a lot of students show
up, I know there is trouble."

Fear And Loathing
On The Law School Trail
By Louis Schiff
(Mr. Schiff is a professional journalist,
He writes a syndicated law column called
The Schiff List, which takes a humorous
look at law school and those involved with
legal education.)
The greatest traumatic experience of my
life occurred the first time I was called on
in a law class for my first Socratic ex­perience.
In the next few weeks, thousands of first
year law students will sit in cla-sses through­out
the land, panic-struck by the realiza­tion
that without volunteering, they will
be called upon tb enlighten an already en­lightened
professor as to matters in a case
of law.
I would like to tell you a tale of the first
encounter I had in a law class, in the
hopes that students will be eased with the
knowledge that if I survived my first Socratic
experience, then there is hope for others to
also survive.
A sense of desolation and disillusion­ment
overwhelmed me as my torts profes­sor
said, "Mr. Schiff, will you please tell
me the facts to the next case?"
There was silence.
More Silence.
"Is Mr. Schiff here?" the professor
asked.
My body shook as a haunting and hor­rible
sense of insecurity overcame me. I
looked around the class as a· ghostly white­ness
overspread my face. The silence be­came
deafening.
My lips parted. My mouth became dry.
My palms became cold and damp as I pre­pared
to cut the silence that hung in the
classroom.
As my lips moved my words trailed off
brokenly. My words never reached the ear
of the professor, who was standing on a
stage which appeared to be high atop of a
mountain . I spoke, but my words did not
reach the mountain.
My six foot two inch frame seemed to
collapse and shrink as I tried to regain any
composure that remained with myself.
The professor seemed to thrive on the in­security
of the moment. Once again the
professor asked me to recite the facts to
the case.
Suddenly a thought shook me. Restless
thoughts were busy forming from within
as my courage and composure became re­juvenated.
I envisioned the great advo­cates
who before me were put through a
similar test. I thought of other students,
who in the past several days had their mo­ment
of truth, and somehow managed to
emerge unscathed .
My heart began pumping blood so quickly
that if measured my pulse would have set
a record that would be long standing in a
book of world records.
· What I said on that fall day in my torts
class two years ago is immaterial, the vic­tory
came in not what I said, but in the
fact that I said something.
The experience proved to be one which is
etched inside of me and resurfaces each
and every time I am called upon in a ;.;lass
to analyze a fact situation.
As my discourse continued with the pro­fessor,
my heart asserted itself again, thun­derously
beating, giving hope to myself that
with some . effort I would become an at­torney.
The situation in my torts class didn't last
more than five minutes, but the minutes
seemed like hours .
My first Socratic experience was over.
"Thank you, Mr. Schiff," the professor
said.
My ' lips came together. Moisture again
flowed in my mouth. My palms became
warm as they dried. The silence that once
deafened the classroom was but a mur­mur.
My trembling body regained its lost
composure. I was at ease. I had spoken to
the mountain, and the mountain responded.
"Ms. Smith, will you please tell me the
facts of the next case?" the professor asked.
My traumatic experience was over. but a
traumatic experience was now st.trllng for
another law student.

Dean 's Dicta
Our law school has always been
blessed with an active and interested
alumni. Last year, one of our own,
Rodney Williams, L '68, became Direc­tor
of Alumni Services for the Uni­versity
of Louisville. With Rodney's
help, our Law Alumni Association
has been revitalized, and we have
planned a number of social events
for the current academic year:
Dec. I: Salute to the School of Law
- U of L v. South Ala­bama
basketball game,
Louisville
Dec. 3: Christmas Reception for
Law Alumni- Galt House,
Louisville
Dec. 5: Christmas Reception for
Law Alumni - Hyatt Re­gency,
Louisville
Feb. 16: Law Alumni Bus trip to U
of L v. Cincinnati basketball
game, Cincinnati
May 22: Annual Meeting, Law Alum­ni
Association
Although our development pro­gram
is independent of our alumni
program, the two are closely related.
The Trustees of the Law Alumni
Foundation, Inc., hilVe always pro­vided
us with strong support. Readers
of this column will remember the
successful library fund drive of several
years ago which the Trustees directed.
The library has since grown and
prospered, and will continue to do so.
While our new facilities are under
construction during the next two years,
we hope to have a major capital
fund drive to insure that we will
have the finest structure and equip­ment
possible. The Foundation Trus­tees
also serve as advisors to the
Dean to help develop a strong aca­demic
program.
Last year, Mike Chertok, Assistant
Vice President for Development,
joined U of L's staff. Like Rodney
Williams, Mike, and his associate,
Jerry Crockett, have been of immense
help to us. In November, 1978,
Jerry helped us organize the first
telethon for our annual alumni giving
program. In four nights, we raised
$29,000, which we used this year to
fund programs for Continuing Legal
Education, visiting faculty, and
skills training.
Our second telethon will be con­ducted
on November 26 through
29, I979, and we are looking for­ward
to an even greater success. Our
objective is to raise funds to bring
our library book budget up to the
national median, to recruit the best
law students, to allow our faculty
and students to travel to professional
meetings and inter-law school competi­tions,
and to support our placement
program .
Let me take this opportunity to
thank publicly the many alumni who
have so willingly given of their time,
talent, and treasure to make our law
school ever stronger. With every good
wish, I am
Sincerely,

Miss(ing) Piggy
By Shaun Esposito
7:58 PM: My partner and I were on rou­tine
patrol in the Fifth District. Then it
happened: a pignapping at the fire station
on Sixth Street. We responded, obtained
a description of the plundered pig, and
radioed it into headquarters.
The above narrative is not from a new
comedy version of Dragnet. It represents
one of the more unusual occurrences I ex­perienced
on a police ride one recent Fri­day
evening. The rides, sponsored by the
Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, give law
students an opportunity to understand the
experiences a police officer encounters
while riding the beat.
Other than the pignapping, the evening
I spent riding with Oficer Grady of the Fifth
District was rather uneventful. While there
were no high speed chases or shoot-outs,
the ride helped me understand the uncer­tainty
that officers experience each time
they ride the beat.
10:30 PM: My partner and I finished the
patrol. We were unable to apprehend the
pignapper that evening.

SBA Urges
Student Representation
By Susan Barnett
In response to a resolution proposed by
the Student Bar Association, the faculty
has approved additional student represen­tation
on some faculty committees.
The SBA proposed that most standing
committees within the School of Law in­clude
two student representatives with full
discussion and voting rights.
At its Oct. II meeting, the faculty voted
to add two students to the Continuing
Legal Education and Placement Commit­tees
and one student to the Building Com­mittee,
which already includes one student.
No students were added to the Curriculum
and Library Committees, which presently
include two students and three students
respectively.
Although the SBA had initially pro­posed
that every faculty committee include
students, before the vote the proposal was
amended with regard to the Personnel
Committee, which makes recommenda­tions
on faculty promotions and tenure.
That committee is by definition composed
of tenured faculty members; therefore, no
students may have voting rights. The
faculty accepted the SBA's amended pro­posal
that a five member student commit­tee
be formed to make recommendations to
the Personnel Committee.
A similar amendment was accepted
regarding the Faculty Recruitment and
Economic Welfare Committees. The latter
committee deals with faculty salaries and
raises.
SBA President Matthew Welch presently
serves on the Financial Aid Committee.
The proposal to add another student to the
committee was withdrawn. Mr. Welch ex­plained,
"The faculty seemed to object to
the proposal because students would be
allowed access to other students' records.
There was a feeling that there would be in­fringement
on their privacy. I withdrew the
proposal instead of risking the withdrawal
of our present representation."
Mr. Welch also noted that the Financial
Aid Committee is composed of only four
members, and there was some feeling that
the addition of another student would
"overload" the committee.
There was .strong oppos.ition to inclusion
of students on the Reinstatement and Pro­bation
Committee, according to Mr.
Welch. He explained that the faculty did
not feel that students could have full
discussion and voting rights because of the
confidential nature of the information in­volved.
The motion to add students was
tabled; since then Mr. Welch has met with
Professor Albert Quick, chairman, to for­mulate
an alternate proposal. They will
recommend that two students be added to
the committee with voting rights on policy
decisions only, and not on individual cases.
The Reinstatement and Probation Com­mittee
proposal will be considered at the
Nov. 19 faculty meeting. The meeting is
open to students.
The proposal to add students to the Ad­missions
Committee was tabled until an
opinion regarding privacy infringement
could be obtained from the University
counsel.
About the reasons for the proposal, the
SBA resolution said, "The policies and
decisions made by the Standing Commit­tees
directly affect the lives and careers of
all students, and ... student representation
would broaden the perspective of these
committees by presenting a greater cross­section
of opinion.''
Of the faculty response, Mr. Welch said,
''Their votes showed a basic distrust of
students. They feel the students are too ir­responsible
to be involved in decision­making.
I also felt there was a paternalistic
attitude on the part of some of the faculty.
They feel they can represent the students'
needs."
Students who are interested in serving on
the committees should contact Mr. Welch
in the SBA office.
In other faculty committee news, the Ad
Hoc Committee on Academic Excellence in
a memorandum to the faculty has recom­mended
that persons teaching the same
subject consult with one another regularly
during the course of a semester to discuss
subjects covered in the course, exams and
grading.
The Ad Hoc Committee has also pro­posed
the following: "The Committee
believes that the first year professors have a
special duty to identify students who are
unsuited for legal education. Therefore the
Committee recommends that teachers of
first year courses reexamine grading stan­dards
that result in more than 400Jo As and
Bs or less than IOOJo Ds and Fs. This recom­mendation
does not extend to the Legal
Research and Basic Legal Skills courses."
The proposal will be submitted to the
faculty at the Nov. I9 meeting.

Video Service Available to Local Attorneys
By Greg Yopp
Culminating one and one-half years of
research and a sizable monetary investment
in "state of the art" equipment, a new
service for the Louisville area's legal pro­fession
was introduced this past spring. The
service, called VIDEO RECALL, offers
color, industrial grade VHS (Video Home
Systems) cameras, portable video tape
recorders, TV lights, color monitors and
notary public video technicians who can
take video depositions anywhere a deponent
is located.
Though the service has yet to be used,
Mr. Michael Waddell, owner of Promo­tional
Marketing Services which is offering
the service, feels confident that it will be
only a matter of time before the service
becomes a valuable tool to practicing at­torneys.
"It will be part of the future,"
said Mr. Waddell.
In the past, video tape depositions were
generally held not admissible in court
because they were "unreliable." But ac­cording
to Mr. Waddell that is no longer a
viable argument thanks to modern science.
"A great many problems have been over­come
with today's technology," said Mr.
Waddell.
VIDEO RECALL's system has a time-date
code running across the bottom of the
picture. The code, which is actually on the
video tape; constantly gives the date of the
recording and the time down to the second.
If anything is done to the tape, such as
editing, the time code will be broken and
the tampering will be obvious. Also, if any
objections are sustained throughout the
deposition, the time code makes it easy to
roll past the inadmissible segment of the
tape without editing it out.
Another video innovation just available
this year is the ability to stop or "freeze
frame" the video without having picture
distortion. This new feature allows obser­vers
to study a segment of the video just
as though it were a still photograph, and
then let the tape continue to roll. Before
this advancement, a tape that was stopped
made the picture become distorted with
waves of lines running across the screen.
Today's technology allows a sharp and
accurate picture at all times.
Nowhere is the disproportion between effort and result more aggravating than in the pur­suit
of truth: You may plow through documents or make untold experiments or think and
think and think, forgo food, comfort, and distractions, lie awake nights and eat out your
heart- and in the end you know what can be memorized by any idiot.
-WALTER KAUFMANN
Pholo supplied by Professional Marketin~ Mni«SS
With the assistance of Jefferson Circuit
Court Judge Charles M. Leibson, Mr.
Waddell's attorney has developed a sample
court order form that helps clarify the video
tape usage in the courts. Based on informa­tion
received from Judge Leibson and his
attorney, Mr. Waddell said, "You have to
obtain a court order in order to use video
tape. Every judge is different, what he'll
allow may vary." Generally, if the tape has
been notarized and the judge has admitted
it, it is usable.
As noted, the key element in not allow­ing
a video tape deposition in court has
been reliability. Responding to this charge,
Mr. Waddell thinks his system is reliable.
"What we have proposed in order to insure
that there is a usable record for court use is,
in addition to the video tape, a recording of
an audio cassette separate from the video.
We will have audio, and the chance of not
having video is very slim," said Mr.
Waddell. This failsafe method is possible
today because of another technical ad­vancement,
the "monitoring head." This
allows the technician to monitor the record­ing
while it is being recorded to insure the
end result is not a blank tape.
There are obvious advantages to video
tape when compared to transcribed deposi­tions.
Video tape makes it possible to have
and see the deponent give the testimony
and allows observation of voice inflections
and body language. And there are times
when the deponent may have pieces of
physical evidence that can be shown or
demonstrated more easily on camera than
in the courtroom.
Presently, Mr. Waddell is trying to or­ganize
seminars to educate the legal com­munity
on the many uses of video tape.
Since acceptance by the judges is the key to
its use in the courtroom, he wants to meet
soon with all of the local judges to explain
his service and receive their input on the
subject. "We are looking for input, so we
can get a common denominator that will be
acceptable in most courts with most judges.
We want to show the direction we are taking
so we can do it properly. It is very important
we prepare the video side so it will stand
up in court."

Change Sought In Adm.issions Rule
By Tom Schulz
"The worst thing about the ten percent
rule is that it's unfair to resident students,"
says Dean Harold G. Wren, expressing his
hope that the. rule will be changed.
The "ten percent rule" is a policy de­cision
by the Kentucky Council for Higher
Education, which is empowered by statute
to determine admission policies for profes­sional
schools in the state. The rule limits
enrollment of out-of-state students to a
maximum of ten percent of the student
body.
According to Tom Braun, Deputy Execu­tive
Director of the Council, the rule was
implemented for two reasons . The primary
intent was to retain doctors, dentists and
lawyers who are educated in Kentucky so
as to help solve the problem of maldistri­bution
of professionals throughout the state.
Secondly, the rule assured the Kentucky tax­payer
that revenue would be spent to edu­cate
Kentuckians .
But the rule has adversely affected the
University of Louisville School of Law,
according to Dean Wren : "First , for the
school to be effective there must be a diverse
student body since diversity of background
and opinion are factors which add to a legal
education." Another effect the rule has
concerns the quality of those persons ad­mitted
to the school by contributing to a
shrinking of the application pool. "Appli­cants
are down 50 percent from five years
ago," Dean Wren states, adding that he
believes the number of out-of-state applica­tions
has declined more than in-state appli­cations
. As a result, potential out-of-state
students may forego applying to a Ken­tucky
university at all believing they have
only a limited chance of obtaining ad­mission
.
Coupled with this is a similar trend na­tionally
of fewer applicants to law schools.
Law school applications nationwide peaked
in 1967-70 with an overall increase of nearly
twenty percent. Eventually, Dean Wren be­lieves
there will be an absolute decline.
With a decline in the application pool,
further r~s tricted by a rule limiting admis-sions,
the quality of the School of Law
will suffer.
"This year the median LSA T score was
560. It was 579 last year and even higher
the year before that," said Dean Wren,
adding, "the quality has declined not so
much as the applications." For these rea­sons,
Dean Wren believes the ten percent
rule has been unfair to resident students.
Reasons behind the rule still exist, how­ever,
and a recent legislative report addressed
another concern regarding the maldistribu­tion
of professionals in rural areas: "While
there is no established 'ideal' population/ at­torney
ratio, Kentucky's statewide ratio for
1977 is 713:1 compared to the national ratio
of 497:1." The report added that "a popula­tion
/ attorney ratio greater than 1500: I is
considered a shortage area. Based on that
ratio, there are 58 Kentucky counties classi­fied
as shortage areas. Of the 58 shortage
counties, 13 did not have a student enrolled
in a Kentucky school of law in the 1977-78
school year."
Addressing the problem of maldistribution
of doctors, dentists and lawyers is proposed
legislation which would in effect overrule
the ten percent rule.
The proposal drafted by the Professional
Schools Admissions Committee this sum­mer
is as follows: "Every public institution
of higher education in the Commonwealth
of Kentucky offering professional education
programs in the areas of medicine, dentistry,
and law shall establish and publish the cri­teria
by which applicants for admission are
evaluated and the approximate weight of
each criteria including a criterion based
upon permanent residence in underserved
or underrepresented areas of the Common­wealth."
Dean Wren, in discussing this proposal
with Roger Crittenden, counsel for the
Council for Higher Education, asked what
effect the proposal would have on the ten
percent rule. Dean Wren said Mr. Critten­den
replied that the new legislation, if en­acted,
would take precedent. The only re­quirement
would be to publish admission
criteria with the approximate weight given
to each criterion including residency and
there would not be an arbitrary percent
requirement.
Wren favors the enactment of such legis­lation.
"We wouldn't get back up to around
20 percent, where we would like to be,
right away. It would take some time,"
he said .
But until such a change, Dean Wren said
he will continue to enforce the ten percent
rule rigidly. He characterized the rule as
mandatory but one that could hardly be
enforced .

SMU Publication Lampoons Law Reviews
Glancing at a copy of the Southwest ld Law Review, one might be misled into thinking it is just another legal publication discussing recent case law and new
developments in the legal field. A closer look, however, would reveal the fallacy of judging a book by its cover.
Southwest ld is perhaps the only publication of its kind. Composed of articles written by students of the Southern Methodist University School of Law,
Southwest 2d satirizes legal education in general and law review articles in particular. It is published once annually and has been in existancefor 5 years.
The logo used on Southwest 2d's cover reads "LEX ABSURDUM EST," the truth of which is reflected by the titles of articles contained inside: "A Decen­nial
Survey of Federal Appellate Decisions Utilizing Shakespeare, Or Much Ado About Nothing"; "Slavery Reconsidered"; "Model Beauty Pageant Act";
and "Property Rights In Bovine Do-Do." Each issue also has a center-fold, one of which depicts nine persons dressed in Ku Klux Klan garb standing before a
burning cross and labeled "The Mississippi Supreme Court."
Southwest 2d co-editor Chuck Quaid hopes to increase the scope and readership of the publication eventually. "I would like to improve our prestige to that
of a Harvard Lampoon for lawyers," he says, adding that Southwest 2d may attempt national distribution in the future if the demand materializes.
Southwest 2d is subsidized by SMU's Student Bar Association and copies are sold for $1.00 each. While Volume 5 will be coming out in April, 1980, past
issues are also available upon request. Anyone wishing to place an order should write to Southwest 2d, c/o SMU School of Law, Dallas, Texas 75275.

THE BILL OF RIGHTS: THE BILL OF WRONGS
by Knox Hughes and John Hampton
Thirty-odd states have now passed resolutions calling for a constitutional convention to
consider an amendment requiring the U.S. to keep its books in balance. Assuming,
arguendo, that a convention called to consider an amendement to balance the federal
budget would have the power to change any portion of our basic governing document, ' it
seems entirely fitting and proper that the debate should here and now begin on perhaps the
most important section of the Constitution: The Bill of Rights.
Perhaps the most interesting proposals to come forth concerning the Bill of Rights are
those that would recodify the first 10 Amendments, and those which seek the addition of a
Bill of Wrongs to go along with the Bill of Rights.'
The recodification effort has gained momentum as Americans came to realize how
twisted the first 10 articles of amendment have become under the weight of 2 centuries of
judicial interpretation.' The glossalia accumulated under the Third Amendment is instruc­tive.
c.f. also Griswold v. Connecticut, Roe. v. Wade.
As to the Bill of Wrongs, however, the question remains of exactly what to proscribe.
Although there would surely be much debate and dissension over this, perhaps the best
course would be to follow the true path of constitution-writing: I) don't enumerate all
wrongs, else you'll leave out something,< and 2) don't make it so vague and broad' that
nobody knows what the hell is forbidden. •
The problem is not one of enumeration, it is one of mechanics. Gunther has shown us
that all constitutional standards vary with the composition of the Court almost in the
same way that the political philosophy of a nation can change with its government. Rather
than change the standards a court will apply maybe we should let the Court make up its
own standards; then there will be an absolute at the time of making.
Now, as an example, we have recently been treated to the spectacle of a scowling 78
year-old exile who engineered the downfall of America's most important ally in Southwest
Asia. We can learn much from the Ayotallah Khomeini's Revolutionary Islamic Council,
its function and its future.
The Council has been punishing, sua sponte and independent of the government of
' Since the situation is without precedent, no one seems willing to commit on the question of whether a
convention called to consider a balanced budget could legitimately branch out to other issues. When faced
with a similar question , though the decision was ultimately solved by civil war, not by a representative
assembly, King Phillip of Macedonia opined: " Beats the shit out of me." Charles Black, Phillip B.
Kurland, Charles Alan Wright, and Beverly Carl have expressed similar opinions.
' Critics of the Bill of Wrongs point out that the enumeration of prohibited activities would more prop­erly
be dealt with in the U.S. Code. It should be noted, however , that Fowler's injunction, "coordinate
ideas should be expressed in coordinate form," is satisfied by the Bill of Wrongs. This would seem to be
sufficient to override any pedantic points about substance, or whether the change should be brought about
statutorily or not.
• Expressio unius est exclusio alterius. This is a recondite (recondite is an obscure word meaning obscure)
expression from the Latin, and meant, originally, that the enumeration of one item will, by necessary im­plication,
exclude other items. In the early 1960's, however, the phrase was repeatedly heard in allegorical
tales of the crucifixion, and came to mean that characterizations of women were better handled in the works
of Sarah Orne Jewett than of Joyce Carol Oates.
'Lawyers have a special way of putting this, but I can't remember what it is. Oh. yes, overly broad and
impermissibly vague.
Prime Minister Bazargan, fascists and others who have in various ways crossed them. In
addition to executing SA V AK officials, generals, and homosexual torturers, the Council
has reportedly begun liquidations of girl scouts and Seventh-Day Adventists. Action,
absolutism and efficiency are all policies that are advanced by allowing the Council to set
the standard rather than the standard guiding the Council.
The idea, of course, would be to amend the 4th Article of Amendment to allow a Per­manent
Special Prosecutor, operating outside the control of the American people and
their form of government, ' to conduct a floating Star Chamber with modern plumbing in
order to punish those found worthy but somehow innocent of any pre-existing law. •
The establishment of a Permanent Special Prosecutor in this country, modeled after
Iran's Revolutionary Islamic Council, would be the essence of simplicity. The Prosecutor
would proceed, periodically, to indict people who, in some way or another, deserve it. By
way of example, the Prosecutor might decide to punish Prof. Beverly Carl on general
principles, or 2) for wearing poison lip gloss to school. •
More generally, the prosecutor could protect us from any number of publicists who
consistently make nuisances of themselves. Prime candidates for early consideration in­clude
such luminaries as Andy Young, Ralph Nader, Mark Lane, and Howard Cosell.
And, if you happened to be a friend of the S.P . you could ask him for a favor and have
anyone erased, they wouldn't even have to be famous or even a threat!
This way, the Bill of Wrongs can grow every day . The problem of being tied down to
ten things is gone. Irksome problems of interpretation are eliminated. Why bother with
balancing, sliding scales, penumbras and the rest when it is the standard-maker not the
standard which is supreme? Enumeration is a problem of the past, and application, once a
cause of great consternation, becomes simply mechanical. Further, everyone will know
what is forbidden without a list, because, once having done it, they will be made to pay for
it. Everyone will be aware of this because of due process, as defined by the S. P . will be
"process that is due." After all what else would you expect.
• One prime candidate for inclusion in such a li st would be an amendment forever barring the federal
government from minting any dollars with Susan B. Anthony's likeness engraved thereon. C. Jackson
Grayson's Productivity Council recently endorsed this proposal, noting: "The fall-off in productivity
would be precipitate. American workers would be constantly tempted into looking up Susan's skins to see if
she's worth the metal she's stamped on . Our negative-regression calculations indicate an x-34-2ba produc­tivity
decline."
' There are numerous groups which al ready operate like this today: E.g., the Mafia. the Teamsters.
Sheriff Thomas.
• Although some may. at first blush, be shocked at this proposed rejection on the maxim nullum crimen
sine lege (no crime without pre-existing law), there is precedent. This standard of legality was explicitly re­jected
by the Soviet Union and by the Nazis. Furthermore, even when accepted, nullum crimen sine lege is
an ideal, and like all ideals. can only be approximated. Ergo. why bother?
• It would of course be difficult, even under a system modeled after the Star Chamber, to punish Bev for
wearing pastel lip gloss laced wit h poison, the cha nces for anyone being poisoned is absolut ely zero.

School Makes Effort To
Improve Recruitment
111111 1111
1111111111 II
II II II II (Continued from page 1)
promised to set up another Pre-Law Day. ­Dean
Lay was "quite pleased" with there­sults
of the program when "a number of
advisors called within a few days of my
letter and asked if they could return in the
spring with other students."
Dean.Lay sees the next phase of recruit­ment
as "going out to individual campuses
or sending representatives to any campus
who invites us." In November he will travel
to Berea and speak to their pre-law club
and in the spring he will return to West­ern
Kentucky to present our law school
program, repeating last year's recruitment
efforts there.
"It's hard to tell the results of last
year's recruitment - you never really know
for sure. It's more effective to get the pre­law
advisors to thinking about your school.
I have seen a number of the group here that
we talked to down at Western. The most
important purpose of recruitment is just
to make our name known to them."
Dean Lay says that he enjoys recruiting.
He feels it is an area which has been neg­lected
for years, but it is essential now.
"There's been a total decline in applica­tions,
not massive, but a definite decline
all across the state. With law schools trying
to compete for the same people with the
same limits (we must all get 90o/o from Ken­tucky),
recruitment is vital." Dean Lay
spoke of a possibility that a bill will be
introduced to the state legislature which
"will say in essence that law schools can
take or use whatever standards they want
for admissions. Inasmuch as the 10% Rule
was not impressed by the state legislature
to begin with, this might lead the Council
on Higher Education to remove the Rule."
(See related story on page 5.)
Dean Lay does not see the removal of the
10% Rule as eliminating the need for recruit­ment.
"We only got 16-18% of out stu­dents
from out-of-state even before the
Rule." That means only 6-8% of the prob­lem
of depressed number of applications
will be solved since the law school has
never had a dearth of out-of-state applica­tions
to fill up that 10%.
The law school will benefit in at least
two ways if the 10% Rule is eliminated,
according to Dean Lay: "We will achieve
a greater diversity in the student body, as
students from out-of-state add depth to the
class. And, secondly, necessity for recruit­ment
will be eased a little. A lot of appli­cants
from out-of-state have to be turned
down."
In theorizing on the causes of the de­cline
in law school applications, Dean Lay
spoke of the great influx of law students
in 1971 - m(!ny of whom had no real in­terest
in law but were mainly interested in
continuing higher education to avoid the
draft. "That motivation - Vietnam and
the draft - is no longer with us." Other
law students at that time were "frustrated
Ph .D ca ndidates" when the demand for
Ph .D's was at a low point. Dean Lay sug­gested
other probable reasons for the de­cline
in applications: "Many potential appli­cants
believe there is no longer money to
be made as attorneys, or that being an at­torney
is not an attractive livelihood, for
whatever reasons; or the post-war baby boom
has tapered off and there just aren't as
many bodies to apply."
Ms. Adah Lovesee, Admissions Officer
at the School of Law, verified the decline
in applications for law school, revealing
that "this past year, the number of applica­tions
submitted was down markedly, 25%."
Although she believes there has been a na­tional
decline in colleges and professional
schools enrollment, she sees the "10% Rule
as the culprit." Ms. Lovesee, who keeps
in touch with the other two Kentucky law
schools admissions officers, reports that
both Chase and UK have fel,t the decline
in applications. She expressed approval of
the Pre-Law Day and expects positive re-suits,
although she says "it's a little too
early to tell right now."
Father Jeremiah Smith, a pre-law advisor
at Bellarmine, spoke highly of the Sep­tember
28th program. He brought three
students here, two of whom firmly intend
to be here next fall, and expects several
more to apply who did not come to the
program and had not taken the LSA T yet.
Father Jeremiah sees the Pre-Law Day as
worthwhile, particularly for other colleges
and universities, in that it gives students
and advisors "a chance to talk and listen
to various explanations and a chance to at­tend
a class ." Bellarmine, however, already
steers 90% of its pre-law students here.
Professor Brian Sullivan, a pre-law advisor
at Western Kentucky University, brought
six students. Prof. Sullivan wants to see the
Pre-Law Day continued because he believes
undergraduates should be informed of all
alternatives. Prof. Sullivan thought the
program "helpful" and "informative,"
but suggested a different time for the pro­gram.
He advised that since U of L gives
the LSAT and since many students travel
here from great distances, the law school
should hold its Pre-Law either the day
before the test or the same day as the test
while law school is on the student's mind .
Prof. Sullivan also suggested that Ken­tucky
law schools follow Cornell Univer-
- sity's lead and hold a 1-2 week summer
mini-course on law school for undergradu­ate
sophomores and juniors covering such
areas as legal research, casebook law study,
and a brief foretaste of substantive law.
The six students, according to Prof. Sulli­van,
were most impressed by the obvious
difference in atmosphere of a professional
school from an undergraduate school. The
student tour guides pointed out that merely
getting into law chool does not at all imply
or guarantee that one will graduate from
law school, as indicated by recent attrition
rates.
Pre-law advisor William E. Huang, a
professor at Morehead State University,
indicates the program is "very valuable"
and suggests expanding it to include affirma­tive
action and scholarships. He views the
offering of sc holarships as the key to effec­tive
recruitment, saying that more than 50
percent of Morehead's pre-law students
last year enrolled at the University of Ken­tucky
College of Law in part because of the
scholarship program offered by UK.
Nevertheless, the students Prof. Huang
brought to the Pre-Law Day were "very
impressed with U of L and spoke favorably
of the building program."
