  • EDITORS NOTE: One of thetreasures of this Law School is amarvelous collection of photo-graphs. I have been using thesepictures for front and back coversof the Gargoyle apparently to theenjoyment of alumni who oftenwrite for copies. Since the finalstory in the last issue related toathlete-lawyers, I chose a "filler"picture showing a Law Schoolbaseball team from the past.Never did I guess the amount ofinterest this picture would gener-ate. Calls and letters came fromacross the country protesting theabsense of a caption or proposingtheir own. While I do apologize forany annoyance I may havecaused, it does seem that I havehit on a high interest feature forthe magazine. Whenever possibleI intend to fill the back page witha mystery photo. Sometimes theywill come from the pile with nocaptions, sometimes from the pilewith a few hints as to origin. I in-vite you to help us fill in theblanks; your contributions will bereported in succeeding issues. Thepicture on this issue's back coverhas no caption although the loca-tion is clearly the old Law Build-ing.

    The correct caption for the nowfamous picture from Vol. 11, No.3is:Front Row: (left to right) Al

  • 1979·80 FUND DRIVE REPORT

    Like the Greek god of thetheater this year's Alumni FundDrive report both smiles andfrowns. The good news is in facttwo-fold: the total amount of con-tributions increased for the sec-ond year in a row and reached thesecond highest total in the elevenyear history of the Drive. Theaverage contribution jumped to anall time high of almost $250 percontributor, a truly remarkableamount. Readers with mathemati-cal minds can see in these twofacts our cause for concern. Con-tinuing a four year slump, thenumber of alumni showing theirsupport for this Law Schooldeclined to 461 this year, or about7%of all alumni. Our largest num-ber of contributors, in 1966, was

    666, or about 12%.While that rateof participation is itself not partie-ularily impressive, it was almosttwice the current rate. If moregave a little, a few would not haveto give so much.

    Many private law schools, withwell established traditions ofvoluntary giving, achieve four orfive times our rate of participa-tion. A few public law schools con-sistantly do that well. In a time ofinflation and reduced governmen-tal funding, all law schools arebeing forced to place moreemphasis on voluntary supportprograms. As we reexamine ourAlumni Fund Drive and otherfund raising efforts, you, ouralumni, are going to hear morefrom us concerning our needs and

    the ways you can help.One other note about this year's

    results: we are encouraged by thehelp received from our youngeralumni. The number of givers outof school ten years or less matchesany other lO-year group despitethe fact that they have loweraverage incomes and higherdebts. These younger alumni havealso demonstrated their continuedinterest in their School in otherways. The Class of 1975 held alively 5th reunion at this year'sSpring Program and raised a classgift for the school.

    With such help and with ourown rededication of effort in fundraising the future may be asbright as the past has been.Thank you for your assistance.

  • ON THE liGHTERSIDE

    Finding a job can be a troublingtask for a law student. Those whoare successful are usually thosewho best keep a sense of humorabout the process. Believe it or notthere are things to laugh about inplacement, no matter what yourperspective. One interviewer re-ported an incident several yearsago where a candidate entered theroom, dropped to his knees andasked, "Wouldit help if! begged?"

    That applicant might havereceived the followingletter whichoriginally appeared in an ABALaw Student Division publication:

    Smith, Anderson, Milton & JonesPlaza Building

    Washington, DC 20000Mr. William L. FangThe Law SchoolSomewhere, USDear Mr. Fang:

    I was glad to have metwith you recently to discussthe possibility of a summerclerkship with our firm. Weappreciate your interest butregret that we are not able toask you to continue the in-terview process.

    As I am sure you realize,an attorney's time is ex-tremely valuable and a mem-ber of a firm has a respon-sibility both to himself andhis associates to be frugal inits expenditure. The im-mense expense of interview-ing the large number of jobapplicants we see each year,therefore, must be justifiedin some way. As to those stu-dents whose grades, ex-tracurricular activities andpersonalities make them at-tractive prospectiveemployees, we tend to viewthe expense as an invest-ment in the firm's future,whether we eventually hire aparticular individual or not.Others give us invaluable in-sight into the changingnature of legal education and

    14

    the profession as a whole.Still others present us withan opportunity for invigorat-ing and refreshing dialogue,the value of which we feelshould not be discounted.

    However, on the rare occa-sion when we interview astudent whose credentials,demeanor, conversation, ap-pearance and backgroundcan in no way justify theamount of time expended onhis behalf, we are certainthat you will agree that it isonly fair that student bebilled for the reasonablevalue of that time.Therefore, please findenclosed our bill for $24.68(twenty-four dollars and six-ty-eight cents), figured at anhourly rate of $50 (fifty dol-lars) and including secre-tarial, mailing and othercosts.

    Best wishes for yourfuture professional success.

    Sincerely yours,Fred R. Milton

    CARTER TAPSJONES

    Prof. James E. Jones, Jr. hasbeen selected by President Carterto chair a special panel designedto resolve disputes between theMerit Systems Protection Board,which guards the rights of personsunder the civil service system, andthe Equal Employment Oppor-tunity Commission, which in-vestigates employment dis-crimination cases. The panel wascreated by the recently enactedCivil Service Reform Act.

    Professor Jones, who graduatedfrom UW Law School in 1956,joined its faculty in 1969. He cur-rently teaches courses in the laborand discrimination area at theLaw School and related courses inthe Industrial Relations ResearchInstitute.

    NEW YORK AREARECEPTION

    Thursday, May 15, 1980 found asmall but enthusiastic group ofNew York area alumni meetingfor lunch at the Wall Street Club.Organized by Edward L. Levine('52), the group heard DeanHelstad report on the status of theLaw School. Eighteen alumni at-tended and another 27 indicatedtheir interest in future functions.There are about two hundredalumni in the greater New Yorkarea.

    A few senior alumni reportedthat such gatherings, often on aninformal basis, were more com-mon in years past. R. WorthVaughan ('28) remembers that agroup used to gather for lunch ev-ery Monday. "Sometimes therewere as few as two, sometimes sixor eight," he recalls.

    One of those who could not at-tend would have won the prize forcoming the farthest if he had.John N. Kramer, Jr. ('68) wrotefrom his firm's office in AbuDhabi that he hopes to join thegroup after he is rotated back toNew York. We all hope he returnswith a few barrels of oil.
