SBA INITIATES LAW CLERK
PROGRAM
Beginning in the Summer Session,
1968, the Student Bar Association has
gained Administration approval for the
"Law Clerk Program". This program will
be for those students enrolled in Legal
Writing II who have already completed
Legal Writing II (a). Mr. John Ensle,
presently instructing Legal Writing II, is
faculty sponsor of this program. Attorneys
in the city will present to Mr. Ensle
problems on actual cases on which re-
search is needed, and these in turn will
be given to those interested students
enrolled in Legal Writing II as their in-
dividual problem. In addition to the stu-
dent working on an actual case problem
and receiving one semester hour credit,
the attorney, upon completion, will pay
the student $25 for the paper which will
pay in full his cost of enrollment in Legal
Writing II. It is hoped that this program
will prove beneficial to both the student
and the practicing attorney. It is a fur-
ther step toward meaningful participation
by the school in legal activities of the
community.

South Texas College Of Law
Leads Circuit Membership
As a result of intensified membership
solicitation during the fall and spring
semester registration periods, South
Texas College of Law has the largest
American Bar Association—Law Student
Division membership in the 13th Circuit.
There is some satisfaction in knowing
that we lead our circuit, and those people
who are presently enrolled should be
proud of their support. At the same time,
it should be noted that in excess of 400
of our students are non-members.
The American Bar Association ac-
credits law schools and has as one of its
purposes the improvement of legal educa-
tion. The Law Student Division furthers
the American Bar Association goals by
aiding the students. Members of the
ABA-LSD are aware of the many aids
provided, and non-members are encouraged
to take advantage of the many services
that are offered.
All non-members are encouraged to
join. A concerted effort to increase our
enrollment will aid those students who
join and, simultaneously, will continue to
project South Texas College of Law as
the number one law school in our circuit.
Membership applications may be found
in the office, or see Richard Tucker, our
ABA-LSD representative.

rn A TAU TAU
A highlight of Iota Tau Tau sorority
activities was the recent panel discus-
sion with the provocative title, "Woman's
Place at the Bar," held at the Braeburn
Country Club, Saturday, March 9. Moder-
ated by Dean Iris Hefter, the panel of
three women lawyers enlightened an
audience including women students of
South Texas College of Law and local
women attorneys with a lively account of
their special fields of law. Gerry O'Malley
Walsh, a South Texas graduate, related
enthusiastically her involvement with the
area of criminal law. She pointed out how
women lawyers could be of service in the
practice of criminal law, and showed
that there was a special need for talented
women in this area. Another panelist,
Lois Watson, surrendered the security of
practice with a large firm a few years
ago in order to strike out on her own. She
told of her experiences while working for
the firm and concluded with steps in the
transition to her private practice. The
third member of the panel, Geraldine
Tennant, an Administrative Assistant to
County Judge Bill Elliott, stressed her
role as a public servant.
The annual meeting of the sorority is
scheduled for April 27,1968, at Brennan's
Restaurant. A University of Houston law
graduate, Richard Haynes, will address
the group. Mr. Haynes was on the program
at the Criminal Law Institute held in
Houston recently. He is with the firm of
Haynes and Fullenwilder. The installation
of newly elected officers is also on the
agenda for the April meeting. They in-
clude Mildred Meltzer, Dean;. Joan Heisler,
Associate Dean; Jack Kershner, Record-
ing Secretary; Susan Robison, Corres-
ponding Secretary; and Jeri Wofford,
Treasurer.
