Gerald Becker vs. Deitz
Welfare Official Responds To Complaints
Economic Security Commissioner
Merritt S. Deitz, Jr., at 35, is one
of the youngest administrators in
Kentucky State Government as
well as in the nation.
Heading up the third largest De­partment
in State Government,
Mr. Deitz is responsible for more
than 3000 employees and the ex­penditure
of over $200 million in
federal and state funds.
Mr. Deitz came from a Louis­ville
law practice to State Govern­ment
as an administrative assist­ant
to Governor Nunn. In March
1969, the Governor appointed him
Commissioner of the Department
of Economic Security.
A Kentucky native, he grew up
in Wilmore, and graduated from
Lafayette High School in Lexing­ton.
Mr. Deitz served four years· in
the United States Marine Corps
where he attained the rank of ser­geant.
· He received his degree in Jour­naZism
from the University of
Kentucky, and attended George
Washington University School of
Law in Washington, D.C., where
he graduated in the top five per
cent vf his class.
Mr. Deitz is married to the
former Sandra Tattershall of Ft.
Mitchell. The Deitz' have two chil­dren,
Merritt S. Deitz, Ill, 4, and
Hillary, 2.
The following address was made
in April in the Allen Courtroom.
U of L law Professor Gerald
Becker took a warrant against
Deitz on behalf of the Louisville
Welfare Rights Organization.
The Sheriff came by the office
again yesterday morning, bring­ing
four more summons with
him, and bringing to just over
600 the number of lawsuits now
pending in the Department of
Economic Security.
. Little did I realize, when I was
going through those legal studies
that Mr. Guenthner so kindly de­scribed,
that I was in fact learn­ing
to become a professional de­fendliht.
Many times since I have been
with state government I have felt
not only fortunate but sometimes
relieved, that I have that legal
background. Certainly every time
the sheriff comes.
That happens so often, inciden­tally,
that I have come to know
the federal marshal by his first
name, Steve, and have leamed
that the local sheriff has relatives
working for the Department of
Merritt Deitz
Economic Security, a fact which
does not at all deter him from his
swom duties.
I have been privileged to take
that constitutional oath of office
not once but twice, and it has
been doubly effective. Not once,
over the past two years, although
I have had plenty of opportuni­ties,
have I been tempted in the
least, to fight a duel or be a sec­ond
to a duel.
Actually I haven't had that
many opportunities, but I thought
I had one recently. About a month
ago I met with several hundred
mountain men who were angrily
contending for eligibility under
Kentucky's medicai~ program.
We met in a crowded courtroom
in Southeastem Kentucky.
At one dramatic stage of the
proceedings, an elderly-but still
large-retired miner, advanced on
me carrying a bull whip. He
didn't brandish the bullwhip in
a threatening manner, because
one doesn't have to do that with
a bullwhip; it speaks for itself.
I listened attentively to his
complaint, knowing that if I
were to be whipped, I could call
only on my maker for assistance,
but if the gentleman were about
to challenge me to a duel with
bullwhips at six paces, I could
politely decline on the basis of
my oath of office.
The oath I just read to you is
taken from Section 228 of the
Kentucky Constitution and is re­quired
to be taken by all attor­neys
and officers of the Oommon­wealth;
so obviously, I am not the
first person to appreciate the
very close relationship between
the office of attorney and the
public office gained either by
election or appointment.
Cooper Seeks Scholarships For Blacks
The conspicuous deficiency in
the number of ,practicing black
attomeys throughout Kentucky
has prompted a freshman law
student to initiate an effort di­rected
toward the establishment
of a scholarship fund which
would enable Black Kentucky
residents who are qualified but
financially unable to enter law
school to attain a legal education
at the University of Louisville.
Noting the desperate need for
more black attomeys in Ken­tucky,
William Cooper has en­listed
the Support of a group of
faculty members and students in
this endeavor, and a committee,
consisting of Cooper, Harold
Adams and Gery Levy, with as­sistance
from William B. Martin
of the law faculty, has begun to
explore the mechanics of the
initiation, solicitation and admin­istration
of such a fund with the
expectation that a student or stu­dents
entering law school in the
fall of 1972 may avail himself of
its benefits.
The necessary funding will be
drawn from the contributions of
students, faculty, alumni, the
University community and the
community as a whole, while the
energy required to attract these
gifts will be that of interested
students and professors. Initial
reactions indicate that a very
substantial sum will be forth­coming
as soon as the fund is
initiated, and once it materializes,
the fund will be entrusted to an
attorney under an arrangement
which will maximize the benefits
of the contributions. Optimis­tically,
the response during the
next fifteen months may be suf­ficient
to sustain the fund for a
considerable length of time,
whether from income or princi­pal.
At any rate, no scholarship
will be awarded until a student is
assured three years' tuition.
The names of eligible students
will be drawn from information ·
Feceived from the undergraduate
LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY
Today I would like to point out
some specific ways in which one's
identity as a lawyer is inextric­ably
intertwined with one's iden­tity
as a public servant, and how
those respective identities can
complement one another.
The general comments that I
will pass along to. you today are
based not on any textbook of ad­ministrative
law but rather upon
my own observations and conclu­sions
as a lawyer-administrator.
So having invited me here today
as a sort of "expert witness," you 1
will know that while everything
I may say will be admissible, it's
up to you to determine the credi­bility
of this testimony.
First, I think it is axiomatic
that the proper administration of
the laws carries with it a respon­sibility
to gain as broad and deep
an understanding of the under­lying
constitutional and statutory
law as it is possible to master. In
this regard the lawyer back­ground
has an obvious advantage.
-The attomey - administrator is
likely to carefully examine the
eilltire history of a law-that is,
its legislative history, its case law
history and the social history of
its implementation - before he
proceeds to apply it in a given
case.
(Continued on page 10)
institutions in Kentucky and will
be compiled early so as to allow
students sufficient time to apply
for admission to the law school.
Once admitted, the student will
be ·afforded any necessary assist­ance
with housing and employ­ment
arrangements through the
appropriate divisions of the Uni­versity
and any available ex­ternal
sources.
Initial reactions by students
and professors have been highly
encouraging, and anyone willing
to participate in any capacity is
welcome. With proper· participa­tion,
the question becomes one
not of success, but of the possible
degree of success.

'Run That By Me Again'
We are pleased to remember the gruelling sessions in Taxation
I and Taxation II as Norvie Lay would respond to an inaudible and
hastily asked question, "Run that by me again."
We are further pleased that University officials and Dean James
Merritt have tapped Norvie for the assistant deanship vacancy in the
School of Law.
With his characteristic youthful zeal and analytical approach to
the problems of the law students, the 31 year.-old Norvie L_ay .s~ould
do much to improve the student-faculty relations, and the md1v1dual
counseling and treatment that are so vital to successful progress in
the study of law. . . .
We congratulate Dean Merritt for choosmg one of our own who 1s
superbly qualified for the position. Norv~e Lay is ~ r~ofi!nized a_u­thority
in the field of Taxation. We believe he will Slmllarly diS­tinguish
himself in the new administrative position of Assistant Dean
of the School of Law.
We say to Dean Merritt, "Run that by us again" when the choice
of youthful administrators of Norvie Lay's caliber is ~nounced. ~he
job could not have gone to a better man--the perils of sweatmg
through Taxation classes notwithstanding.
The Dean's Corner
Merritt Sees Need For Lawyers
By Dean James Merritt
According to figures recently
released by the American Bar As­S()
ciation, law school enrollments
increased by more than 30%
from 1966 to 1970. What is even
more striking is that two-thirds
of the growth took place in 1970.
Law school enrollments have
been doubling every decade but
the astonishing growth in 1970
might cause us to ask ourselves
where these law students came
from and more significantly
where are they going? Part of the
increase is due to a rise in popu­lation
but a good deal of it ap­pears
to be a manifestation of a
new preference for students
graduating from college. One re­markable
fact is that while the
overill enrollment was increasing
by about 30% the number of
women students rose by 159%,
. having grown from 2,600 to 6,900.
Several studies are underway to
try to explain the influx of
women into law schools. One re­searcher
concluded that he knew
no more about women law stu­dents
than he did about women
in general.
In answer to a direct question
by the American Bar AsS()Ciation
only 16 of 140 law schools re­ported
that they could have en­rolled
additional students in the
first year class. The 16 law
schools reported vacancies for
only 353 day students and 306
evening students. These figures
represent only 2% of the first
year enrollment . .It would appear
that law schools are very nearly
filkd to capacity. During the past
year very little in additional fa­cilities
have been added.
An interesting complaint among
law school administrators last
year was that more students
showed up to register than prior
experience would have lead any­one
to expect. Last year there
were about 75,000 applicants for
35,000 places. This year it appears
that there will be about 110,000
applicants for the 35,000 places.
At the Universitv of Louisville
the enrollment picture is just as
bleak as that at the national level.
With one more set of LSAT scores
yet to be received, we have three
times as many applicants as we
can accommodate. It would ap­pear
that now is the time when
law schools can become increas­ingly
selective and upgrade the
general quality of the student

for prospective students who

other time in history.
This is a time when law stu­dents
who are enrolled in law
schools may ask about opportu­nities
upon graduation. The mar­ket
for Ph.D.'s has been saturated
in many fields. Although there is
some discussion about overcrowd­ing
the bar, the requirements of
universal representation in crimi­nal
matters and the representa­tion
of juveniles are only begin­ning
to be filled . With the in­creasing
complexities of law and
S()Ciety, many positions previ­ously
being filled by laymen
may now become attractive to
lawyers. Prof. Alford F . Conard
of the University of Michigan,
President of the Association of
American Law Schools, has
warned that insufficient legal
education facilities could result
in a lawyer shortage. Studies by
the staff of United States News
and World Report indicate that
about the right number of law­yers
are being produced to keep
with present demands. There
seems to be no reason to expect
anything other than an increasing
opportunity for lawyers.

'Buzz' Green Is Candidate
Last month at the Sixth Cir­cuit
Conference of the Law Stu­dent
Division of the American
Bar Association, Frederick H.
"Buzz" Green formally an­nounced
his candidacy for Na­tional
President of the organiza­tion
.at this Cincinnati meeting.
Green received the endorsement
of the law schools of the Sixth
Circuit which includes all schools
in the states of Michigan, Ohio,
Tennessee and Kentucky for the
convention to be held in New
York City during July.
Green's qualifications stem from
a well-rounded host of activities
during his undergraduate and
law school years. He began his
undergraduate studies at Indiana
University during the years
1964-66, maintaining a credible
academic average while partici­pating
in Phi Kappa Tau Fra­ternity
as an officer and in var­sity
athletics. In 1966, Buzz trans­ferred
to the University of Mis­sissippi
upon request of his un­dergraduate
fraternity to develop
a chapter there. He completed
his A.B. degree in political sci­ence
at Ole Miss, achieving a
noteworthy scholastic record and
engaging in numerous extracur­ricular
activities in leadership ca­pacities.
Examples of these in­clude
the founding of the fra­ternity
chaprer and presidency,
co-founder of the Pre-Law So­ciety,
honorary member of the
Lamar Society of International
Law, and creator of the Ole Miss
Student Foundation. Additionally,
he was a member of the Ole
Miss soccer team.
Following graduation, Buzz was
employed for a year by Phi
Kappa Tau Fraternity, traveling
extensively in the important ad­ministrative
position of Field
Secretary.
In 1969, he entered the School
of Law of the University of
Louisville where he is presently
completing second year of stud­ies.
Serving as President of the
Freshmen Class, Buzz distin­guished
himself as a student
leader from the very outset. He
has been a member of the Stu­dent
Bar Association Executive
Committee, the Student Govern­ment
Reorganization Committee,
and the campus-wide student
government body, the Student
Senate. He is a member of Delta
Theta Phi Law Fraternity in
which he has served as Rush and
Social Chairman, edited the
monthly newsletter, and is now
serving as the Tribune. At pres­ent,
Buzz is the law school's
ABA-Law Student Division Rep­resentative,
having just com­pleted
a membership drive which
resulted in a 300% rise in mem­be
·rship. He was a delegate to the
1970 LSD-ABA convention in St.
Louis, where he nominated Tim
Blake, the present LSD Presi­dent.
Recently, he was approved
by the LSD Board of Governors
as student liaison to the ABA
Public Contract Law Section.
Moreover, he has been nominated
for a Law Student Division Silver
Key Award, and is a member of
the Commercial Law League and
an active participant in the Moot
Court Club.
The candidacy of Buzz Green
represents the growth of the
School of Law in its expanding
reputation across the nation. The

to be able to offer a candidate
such as Buzz Green to the Law

manner.
Currently, the outlook for elec­tion
is very bright, as all of the
early opposition has fallen from

ACLU Sponsors Political 'Snooping' Study
The ACLU is sponsoring a two
year study of political surveil­lance
in the United States. This
surveillance project is developing
facts and documentation abou't
surveillance practices, including
physical surveillance, wiretap­ping,
informers, photography and
related techniques for obtaining
information about the political
activities of dissenters.
One important phase of this
study is a survey of the college
campuses to determine the ex­tent
of these practices in Ameri­can
colleges and universities.
Since many of these practices are
clandestine, it is frequently dif­ficult
to obtain accurate data.
Could you supply the project
with answers to the following
questions and wherever possible
with relevant documents and
stories from college newspapers.
If any other individuals or groups
are in a better position than you
to answer this questionnaire
please turn it over to them. If
you could suggest other sources
which might be contacted for
their responses, we would appre­ciate
it.
1.· Is political surveillance prac­ticed
on your campus?
2. If so, what forms does such
surveillance take? (See above
for illustrative surveillance
practices).
3. What institutions engage in
such surveillance practices:
campus security police, urban
intelligence units, state police,
FBI, other.
4. Has the faculty become a tar­get
of surveillance? If so, in
what respects?
5. If there is evidence of student
informers on campus how
prevalent is this practice?
a. Are there cases in which
employees or agents of sur­veillance
units, federal or
local, have infiltrated the
campus under student, fac­ulty
or administration cover.
b . Is there any evidence that
students, former students or
dropouts have been re­cruited
as informers to in­filtrate
campus groups?
c. Are there cases in which
such informers or infiltra­tors
have engaged in or been
charged with provocation?
d. What is the position of
the university administr ation
with respect to such prac­tices?
Has the administra­tion
furnished cover to in­filtrators?
Is there any evi­dence
that administrative
personnel engage in politi­cal
surveillance?
6. We have received many com­plaints
about the political sur-veillance
activities of campus
security police. Does the secur­ity

Ralph Nader Wants Law School Reform
By Ralph Nader*
In all the discussion recently
at law schools about grading and
curricular reform and student
participation in faculty and ad­ministration
decisions, it appears
that one highly significant pro­posal
could be adopted forthwith.
I refer to the establishmer.t of a
year-long course given by stu­dents
for the benefit of the fac­ulty.
The case for such a course is
compelling and the mechanics of
conducting it fairly simple. Stu­dents
have a great deal to convey
to the faculty-their legal expe­rience
in clinical work, a greater
sense of the urgencies of the
times that are straining the legal
system, their frequently greater
familiarity with new techniques
or bodies of knowledge of rele­vance
to developing legal systems
and their considered critiques of
formal course work that makes
up the law school's teaching pat­tern.
There is substantial evi­dence
that many professors are
developing a keen appreciation
that law students have much to
teach as well as to learn. This
recognition is bound to increase
as law students, organized in in­vestigating
teams, begin produc­ing
first-rate empirical studies of
legal institutions. But even for
those members of the faculty who
resist the obvious, a student
course for the faculty can be jus­tified
as a steady feedback pro­cess
that is bound to enrich the
professor's response to his classes.
Once the principle of a student
course is accepted, the mechanics
could be worked out to maximize
participation and efficiency. Law
schools have always been good at
mechanics. By way of suggestion,
a steering committee of students,
chosen by their peers, could or­ganize
the course content, decide
whether to inflict an "eye for an
eye" and adopt the Socratic
method or develop another less
time-consuming procedure, deter­mine
the kinds of demonstrative
evidence to be utilized, the field
trips to be taken and the spinoff
benefits to be conveyed to other
law schools and in journals of
legal education. I am sure that
many exciting innovations and
benefits can be derived once such
a course is adopted.
What the faculty may be real­izing
is that the breakdown in
the last few years of its presumed
or actual arrogance toward the
students- whether ingrained or
merely a teaching technique-is
a wonderful experience. The re­wards
reaped are increasing dis­plays
of foresight-a quality of
which the law schools in the past
could rarely be accused-and a
greater infusion of impirical and
normative content in course and
extra-curricular work.
Some ground rules for such a
course would obtain near unani-

Merritt Dietz and Welfare
(Continued tram page I)
For example, in dealing with
what has become the most trou­bled
area of welfare--Aid to
Families with Dependent Chil­dren--
one recognizes that it was
no historical accident that the
program for dependent children
was created in the year 1946,
when this nation had a great
many young war widows to sup­port,
along with their children.
And a look at more current his­tory
suggests that a great many
social proble~including the
skyrocketing cost of welfare--can
be attributed directly to the sim­ple
fact increasing population.
When you are placing young and
growing families on welfare, the
costs mount that much more
rapidly. In Kentucky, today alone,
50 more people went on welfare,
most of them on Aid for Depend­ent
Children. By year's end,
15,000 additional people will be
on Kentucky welfare rolls, most
of them families with dependent
children.
By 1972, for the first time in
our state's history, the total
amount of public assistance to
families with dependent children·
will exceed the combined cate­gorical
relief to all of our aged,
blind and disabled citizens.
Faced with that kind of his­tory,
arid faced with a ground­swell
of taxpayer resistence to
the cost of welfare, one is in­clined
to an administrative atti­tude
of equity dispensed with a
firm and cautious hand.
The adversary training received
by a lawyer will be invaluable to
you. Public service seems to offer
endless opportunities for argu­ment.
One can always join a debate
with the legislature (jointly or
severally); one can argue with
one's advisers; with other depart­ments
of government; and occa­sionally
even with the Lieutenant
Govemor or the Mayor of Louis­ville.
One can contend over this
or that point of view with various
taxpayer groups, labor, industry,
and welfare organizations.
A good solid adversary training
enables you to be successful more
often than not in such discussions,
but at the same time a soundly
leamed art of advocacy enables
you to appreciate--particularly in
public service--that the issue in­volved
must be paramount to the
personalities involved. Your ad­versary
training, believe it or not,
will give you an ability to more
objectively judge the merits of a
given proposition and to approach
the matters of public policy en­trusted
to you free from personal
prides and antagonisins.
This leads me to another im­portant
feature of your training
(and I call it training rather than
education by design, for in the
hands of most of us, the law is
still more a discipline than an
art). I refer to the emphasis on
gathering all available facts be­fore
you make a decision. You
have heard and will hear this
principle repeated until you begin
to tire of it. But do not tire; the
art of advocacy depends upon
conviction, and the strength of
one's conviction is directly pro­portionate
to one's knowledge of
the facts.
For example, in February 1969
it became publicly known that a
number of Kentucky physicians
had received payments in six fig­ures
(that is, without decimal
points) from Kentucky's medi­caid
program. It was clear that
some action would be required to
curb soaring costs and to prevent
a complete financial collapse of
the program. It was immediately
apparent that we had a problem,
although the nature of the prob­lem
and what caused it was yet
unknown.
A number of measures were
immediately proposed to c urb
rising costs, some of which would
have had dramatic even danger­ous
effects on the financial un­derpinnings
of the hospital and
nursing home industry in Ken­tucky.
But we passed by the easy
solutions in favor of computer
analyses and an intensive field
study, all of which lasted four
months, and which did identify
the problem. The problem ulti­mately
was identified as princi­pally
one of over-use and abuse
of the medicaid card in the hands
of welfare recipients. Out of that
discovery grew a seven-point ad­ministrative
reform of the medi­caid
program designed to cut
costs and reduce unnecessary use
of medicaid benefits-a decision
preferable to the simple removal
of medicaid from many needy
Kentucky households.
By the time you graduate, you
hooefully will have devoted con­.;
iderable attention to the rights
of the individual in this complex
society of ours. The maintenance
of those important J)ersonal free­doms
is a matter of paramount
imwrtance to attorneys, both in
and out of govemment. I believe
it could be shown tha't the attor­ney-
administrator, once again be­cause
of his background, is IIlDSt
qualified to accurately balance
the rights of the individual
against the authority of the state.
Protection of individual free­doms
may take many different
forins; one may find it necessary,
for example, to refuse a county
grand jury access to confidential
welfare records. That happened
in Kentucky for the first time in
1969, and the grand jury was kept
waiting while we examined the
legal issues presented by this
novel situation.
Only after we were assured by
the circuit judge that the grand
jury was interested in public as-

gress the legislative boundaries of
his authority.
A whole new body of law is
emergillg in the welfare field, and
many of its new guidin·g princi­ples
can be seen only in vague
outline. At the same time, we are
continually required to make ad­justments
in our procedures to
conform to federal requirements,
which seem to change quite fre-

quently in the welfare field. All
in all our attomeys, armed with
a recently acquired set of poverty
law reporters, have complied a
respectable litigation record and
stay pretty busy. Perhaps not as
busy as in the state of New York,
where about 600 "welfare rights,"
type cases are pending against
the welfare Commissioner, but
with over a hundred such similar
cases now pending, our attomeys
are certainly practicing full-time
courtroom law in addition to re­viewing
matters of federal con­formity.
So while the attorney-adminis­trator
is not likely to exceed his
authority, given the frequency
with which administrative actions
are being challenged in court,
you can expect an occasional re­versal.
In November 1969 we de­termined
that striking workers of
GE Local 761, IUEW, were not
entitled to food stamp assistance
because they had voluntarily re­fused
to continue suitable em­ployment,
contrary to our regu­lations.
Jefferson Circuit Court
overuled that determination, and
in issuing a mandatory injunction
compelling the issuance of food
stamps, branded the administra­tive
action as arbitrary and
capricious and suggested that the
action derived from an inability
to understand cGuffy's First
Reader. I have since obtained a
copy, and find little in it to be of
guidance in that particular situa­tion,
but I am still studying.
The attorney-administrator is
also most likely to view legal de­velopments
in his field on a na­tional
scale, in order to guage the
propriety of his past acts and to
guide his conduct for the future.
The 1970 General Assembly en­acted
a welfare reform bill which
essentially imposes work and
training requirements, requires
financial contribution by the ab­sent.
father of a welfare family,
and establishes a mechanism for
drawing upon volunteer commu­nity
assistance for the troubled
and overburdened field of wel­fare.
Before that legislation was sub­mitted,
we had carefully ap­praised
the substance and form
of welfare legislation submitted
by President Nixon to the Con­gress
in 1969.
We have since been encouraged
by indications that other states
are following a similar approach
in their welfare programs. Gov­ernor
Reagan is submitting to the ·
California Legislature a far­reach.
in:g reform roughly follow­ing
the outlines of Kentucky's
law in its work and training com­ponents
and it's loosing the veil
of secrecy surrounding welfare
operations.
All of which leads us to be-lieve
that the administration of
Kentucky welfare now is com­patible
with emerging national
trends; and this is important,
when you consider that public
assistance is a joint federal-state
venture.
You as law students are learn­ing
more law than you will ever
be able to practice. But that
breadth of knowledge is essential
to the attorney-administrator be­cause
it gives him a proper per­spective;
he is enabled to accu­rately
view his role under the
law not as the advocate of any
special interest group but as a
trustee of the common wealth
and welfare.
So far I have mostly talked
about the attributes of a legal
background to an administrator.
Now, for just a moment, let me
turn the coin and tell you what
the administrative experience can
give to you as a lawyer.
You will learn that in a system
of laws written by men, the se­lection
of men to execute those
laws is vitally important. You
will learn that the black letters
of the statute book really mean
nothing until they are applied in
a given case.
You will learn that it is the
official who gives conscience-or
the lack of it-to the law.
You will learn that in much the
same way that the "mood" of a
legislative body can be deter­mined
on a given day or hour,
so can you learn to fathom the
prevailing public mood; and you
will learn that if you act either
too far in advance of, or too far
behind, the prevailing social con­science,
then you will not be
doing a good job.
You will learn that if the black
letter of the law is found wanting
in the light of present social cir­cumstance,
then it is your duty
to attempt to change that law.
Finally, your experience as an
· administrator will enable you
later as a lawyer to deal on a
knowledgable basis with public
officials, aware of their weak­nesses
and strengths, their au­thority
and its limitations. And
that is an important legal tool to
have, in these days of proliferat­ing
governmental agencies that
touch the lives of all our citizens.
I hope that many of you will
have the time and inclination to
devote part of your legal career
to public service. I share the view
Qf . Theodore Roosevelt that
"every man owes something of
his time and substance to the up­building
of the profession or in­dustry
from which he gains his
livelihood."
So for you, then; acting as an
administrator within our govem­ment
of laws will hopefully
strengthen not only our system
of law, but you who contribute
to it.
