spring. The ALSA is geograph-
ically divided into eleven cir-
cuits. St. Mary's is in the fifth
circuit, which includes the states
of Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Texas.
Committee work furnishes
another means of carrying out the
objectives of the ALSA. At pre-
sent there are sixteen committees
in operation, including com-
mittees on special activities,
membership, panels . . . selects
topics to be discussed at con-
ferences . . . placement, publica-
tions, and public relations.
Membership on most of these
committees is open to individual
student volunteers from member
law schools.
Of invaluable assistance to the
ALSA is the Office of Director
of Law Student Program, provided
at the expense of the American
Bar Association to aavise the
ALSA on a national scale, to
serve as a clearing house for
ideas and activities, and to fur-
nish continuity to the law student
program.
At present The Barristers, be-
cause of its membership in the
ALSA, is receiving general and
special reports and weekly
bulletins on matters of interest to
law students, and free copies of
the ALSA news journal Student
Lawyer, St. Mary's students may
obtain and wear the recently
adopted ALSA official key; and
the American Bar Association
Journal is available to St. Mary's
law students at the low student
rate of $1.50 per year, which is
less than one-half the annual
cost of publication. The Barris-
ters has barely begun to utilize
the many advantages and oppor-
tunities available to it and its
individual members through the
American Law Student Association.

Accounting Methods by Lasser and
Tax Accounting by Dickerson.
The Taxation Section of the library
was in continuous use up to March
15th.
Recent additions to the library
include New Paths of the Law, by
Roscoe Pound; flilitary Jurisprud-
ence; Abstract of TitlePracticeby
Flick; 3rief'riting and Oral Argu-
ment by Richard D. Reo
Basement under the Library was
recently remodeled into a modern
and well lighted typing room furn-
ished with a sufficient number of
typing stands, tables and a com-
plete set of Southwestern Reporters."Ye Olde Timers" take note
of "Big Bob" Traweek joining
forces in the Law Profession with
W. T. Acklen, Midland, in the
General Practice of Law. No more
black gold on his hands.
Just for the record and to
acquaint those who perchance do
not know, the present officers of
the Barrister's Club are: James
Joy, president; Bill Merkin, vice-
president; Carroll Sierk, treasurer;
Harry Stuth, secretary, and Oscar
McGinnis, parliamentarian.
These well and able men, altho
aided by their extremely capable
committees, working for and only
for the benefit of the School of
Law and the student body, need
the co-operation of all of the afore-
mentioned student body. For our
benefit, let us, that wonderful
body composed of intelligent and
wonderfully personable men and
women, push the ball a "leetle
bit" after our "servants" get it
started.
Congratulations to Vince
"Victoribus" Tarleton on waging
an unconventional and successful
campaign to become the day
school representative to the A.L.
S.A. District Convention in New
Orleans last month. Funny thing,
you know, he actually escaped the
call of the peseta francesa, and
participated in the events on the
agenda. Not surprising is the good
he accomplished for the school,
together with Capitan Clarence
Kaplan, the night school dele-
gate, and the ideas they both
brought home for us.
Many thanks to those who con -
tributed to the bundle of suggested
names for this publication. Some
were rare and others well burned,
but with great and serious delibera-
tion, the BEST was selected, the
result you have no doubt cussed
already.
Heard that a petition has been
circulated requesting that the
school get on the ball and give
the lounge some class with ivory-
inlaid-with-silver dominos. Been
rumored that one can work offBarrister's Binge
On the 23 of March, the re-
activated Barristers Club got under
way with a dinner - dance at the
Mountain Top Reserve Officers
Club. With approximately forty
students and their dates, the
evening got under way. Some guests
were farsighted enough to bring
their own stimulants, but those
L-,ho en U.S.A by FeClLITH Son Antonionegative hours at the oaken table.
Or was it pick up...
Let a sincere appreciative nod
be given now to the writer of the
feature -article for giving up sub-
stantial amounts of his time and
effort and donating the fruits of
his labour to this, our publication.
'Twould seem that with all of
the exes on the staffs of the local
traffic and criminal courts we
would be relatively safe when
investigating into the complexities
of the wheels of justice from first
hand experience. HEREWITH, let
my $30 contribution be mute,
primary evidence to the contrary.
"Ole Sam", you know Sam B.,
looked me in the eye as I con-
tended that I didn't know the gun
was loaded, and I heard the swish
of the curtain falling swiftly and
surely as a result of the strict
enforcement of sweet Justice.
(Gad, the cost of Justice nowadays.)
Hope you have seen, and if you
have, know you realize the
valuable work Mrs. Leeman and
her Publicity Committee have been
doing in publishing all that takes
place on the campus. This active
committee has given the school
and the individuals mentioned very
beneficial advertisement. Since
every student is a potential and
probable beneficiary of this com-
mittee's function, it is strongly
recommended that all students
give the requested information to
this committee and so aid them
to help you.
A thousand cheers and best
wishes to Attorneys-at-Law who
passed the bar exam taken in
March. A 100% looks good on them
the school, and is very reassuring
to we aspirants. Those who
passed were: Warren Williams, Al
Truex, Bill Pitt, Bonar Phares,
Bill Finck, George Goodwin,
Walter Rudeloff, John Taffolla,
and last but not least, Bruce
Aycock. Special plaudits to J.
Bruce "The Brain" Aycock who
came in second in the State. T'was
a noble accomplishment indeed,
Attorney Aycock.who were not so farsighted fared
equally as well, due, perhaps, to
the benovelence of their neighbor.
An excellent dinner was served
which was highlighted by the
superb steaks. Then, of course,
after dinner the guests were treated
to a few words by Dean Raba.
Special thanks go to the Dean for
perhaps one of the shortest speeches
on record.THE LAW LOG
