Student's spouse
opines on school
As a wife of a law student at
South Texas, along with my
husband I made a three-year
committment. Upon making this
decision, we knew that many
obstacles would be headed out
way. From that point on I knew
our lives would be heading in a
new direction and that if we both
worked at it, it would be the right
decision for our future.
In the past year and a half that
my husband has been studying
law, bur lifestyles have changed.
Not drastically — but enough so
that at times I may feel the
attention that was once centered
on me is now on a hornbook or
casebook. When you're emotion-
ally involved with a law student,
you suddenly realize that you're
in competition with a Xerox copy
of an outline. There are times I
actually envy the highlighter pen
because he holds it more than he
does me.
Compensation on my part is to
take the time to realize what my
husband is working for. I try to be
involved in his studies by talking
with him about his classes and
professors. I try to be as patient
as possible when he gets those
infamous anxiety attacks just
around finals time. But most
importantly, I try to be as
supportive as possible to ease the
tensions he is faced with as a law
student.
Whether you are married,
engaged or dating someone while
attending law school, you must
never ignore them. You should
allow them to be part of what you
are doing. If they want, and it's
permissible, bring them to class
one day. Allow them to be a part
of your education and in return
they will be patient and under-
standing.
Law school will be more
tolerable and rewarding if you
share it with your mate, and on
graduation day, when you receive
your diploma, you will be receiv-
ing it on behalf of both of you.

Essay winners
get cash prizes
Jim Middleton won first place
at STCL in the Nathan Burkan
Memorial Competition while Joan
F. Anderson took second place
honors. Their prizes are $500 and
$200 respectively.
The competition is sponsored
annually by the American Society
of Composers, Authors and Pub-
lishers in memory of Nathan
Burkan, ASCAP's first general
counsel who died in 1936. The
awards, designed to stimulate
interest in the field of copyright
law, have been traditional at
ASCAP since 1938.
Middleton's winning essay is
entitled "Animus Furandi &
'Hare Krishna . . . Dulang,
Dulang' — Subconscious Copy-
right Infringement." Anderson's
essay is "The Effect Of The
Mitchell Decision On Copyright
and Obcenity."
Both winners will be consid-
ered for the National Burkan
Awards. Winners at the national
level will be awarded prizes
ranging from $500 to $3000.
Women pick new officers
Women In Law recently held
elections for the 1981-82 year.
New officers are: Susan Gutter-
man, President; Pam Sklar, Vice-
President; Julie Haines, Secre-
tary; Rhoda Hart, Treasurer;
Ellen Soffar, Media. Dr. Pam
George is the new advisor.
On October 20, 1981, the first
speaker of the year was Ms.
Wilma W. Wagner. Ms. Wagner
is a highly respected woman in
the community who has distin-
guished herself both within Texas
and nationally as a top female
businessperson. Ms. Wagner,
who served on the Grand Jury in
Houston this summer, discussed
her role as juror, and also spoke
of many of the finer points of the
Grand Jury system that are rarely
revealed to law students. Ms.
Wagner's insight into the crimin-
al process was both interesting
and enlightening.
Women In Law is open to both
male and female students.
