The summer Gargoyle,published during June, alwaysfeatures the Alumni - the SpringProgram, the final report of theFund Drive, the law school reu-nions, and the Dean's annual re-port to the Alumni.

Lawyers are busy people. Manyof them must budget their timeaway from their offices verycarefully. It is heartening to seethat the Law School has risen onmany priority lists.

* * *

This year, there is a noticeableincrease in Alumni interest andactivity. The two days of coursesoffered by CLEW at the time ofthe Spring Program brought morethan 200 members of the practic-ing Bar to the Law SchooL In-creased interest and participationby the Alumni honors the LawSchool and opens avenues ofurgently needed, continuing criti-cal evaluation by the Alumni oflegal education as practiced here.

The early spring, after thedreadful winter of 1976-77, pro-duced the feeling of urgency asthe academic year drew rapidly toa close. Pairs of mallards lookedaround the campus for nestingsites, much as human pairs lookfor apartments, earlier than usualthis year. The lilacs and theflowering trees have bloomedfully - weeks early. The windowshave been washed. Air hammerswere in full force during the firstweek of May, resoundingthroughout the building. It hasbeen an early spring, but a typicalone.

THE GARGOYLE

Dean"s Report to the Alumnistanding record as scholar in thelaw and society tradition; RobertGordon, who teaches evidence andcontracts, as well as some othersubjects; and Thomas Mit-telsteadt, who teaches commerciallaw, creditors and debtors rights,and accounting and law. Tom is a1966 graduate of the University ofWisconsin Law School and is alsoa CPA.

Last year when I reported to youat this time, I noted with someamusement, although notsurprise, that a fairly constanttheme of Dean's reports over theyears has been problems with theadequacy of funding of legaleducation. This year, I resolved totalk about something else,although it is probably inherent inthe job that a dean must spend agood deal of time worrying aboutfunding.

Turning to other matters,however, let me mention brieflyjust a few noteworthy special oc-currences during the past year. Inchronological order, they are asfollows: (a) Last August, one ofour professors, Shirley Abraham-son, was appointed to the Wiscon-sin Supreme Court; (b) Then, inSeptember, we were honored by avisit from Justice William Rehn-quist who spoke to an audience ofstudents and faculty whichpacked both of our two largestclassrooms. (c) On March 24-27, amajor annual event of the lawschool world, the Eighth NationalConference on Women and theLaw, was held at the Law School.It is the purpose of these con-ferences to explore and seek solu-tions to legal problems of particu-lar interest to women. The Con-ference brought over 2,000 partic-ipants from throughout the coun-try to Madison. (d) On April 20, wewere honored by the presence of adistinguished visitor from Ger-

THE GARGOYLE

many, Dr. Ernst Benda, who at-tended the University for a yearback in 1949-50, and who is nowPresident of the Federal Constitu-tional Court of the Federal Repub-lic of Germany, the equivalent ofour Supreme Court. (e) Finally, weunderstand that one of our profes-sors, Frank Tuerkheimer, is aboutto be appointed U.S. Attorney forthe Western District of Wisconsin.

Again, as last year, I can reportto you that admissions pressuresare continuing at about the samelevel as in the last few years. Wehave close to 2,000 applicants,almost all of whom seem to bequalified and most of them verywell qualified indeed. And again,the job prospects for our gradu-ates seem to be quite good - ifanything, somewhat better thantwo or three years ago.

We have added six new facultymembers in the last two years.Last year we hired Martha Fine-man, who currently is teachingcivil procedure courses; WalterDickey, who teaches criminal lawand participates in the teaching ofour largest clinical instructionprogram - the Legal Assistanceto Inmates Program; and GaryMilhollin, who is a specialist inconflict of law and also teachescontracts and real estate transac-tions. This year we have hiredMarc Galanter, who teaches con-tracts, legal process and someother subjects and who has an out-

Unfortunately, we also have lostsome faculty members during thissame two-year period: AbnerBrodie and Robert Skilton toretirement (although both will beteaching next year at McGeorgeSchool of Law in Sacramento);Donald Large to Lewis and ClarkLaw School in Portland; RichardKabaker to private practice; and,at least temporarily, ShirleyAbrahamson to the StateSupreme Court and FrankTuerkheimer to the U.S. At-torney's Office in the WesternDistrict of Wisconsin. Otherfaculty members will be on leavefor shorter periods of time. Wealso will have some visitingfaculty members from other lawschools here next year, and, asusual, we will be relying on a num-ber of practicing attorneys toteach on a part-time basis.

For the remainder of this re-port, I want to say a few wordsabout the nature of our educa-tional program, particularly as itaffects relationships with thepracticing bar. It has been saidthat tension inevitably will existbetween the law schools and thepracticing bar and that it has ex-isted ever since legal educationmoved out of lawyers' offices andinto the classroom. I believe,however, that the tensions tend to

be compounded in the larger lawschools connected with majoruniversities because of the multi-ple nature of the goals whichthose schools tend to pursue. Pro-fessor Charles Kelso, in a majorstudy of part-time legal educationa few years ago, noted that lawschools tend to pursue one or moreof the following goals (each suc-ceeding level encompassing all thepreceding less complex levels):

1. Teach legal fundamentals;2. Train practitioners;3. Develop lawyer-leaders;4. Prepare students for all roles

where lawyering is relevant,including teaching;

5. Participate in or lay thefoundation for improvementof law and its administra-tion, as well as advanceknowledge of law and itsrelation to society.

It is safe to assume that theUniversity of Wisconsin LawSchool pursues all of these goals,although we seldom articulatethem this precisely. Clearly, ourfirst obligation is to train profes-sionals for the practicing bar, butour obligations extend well beyondthat. I believe I can illustrate themultiple nature of our goals byreference to a few programdevelopments during the pastyear.

On the one hand, we havestrengthened our continuingeducation or outreach capabilitiesby developing closer ties with LawExtension. Arnon Allen has beenappointed an Associate Dean inthe Law School; he will continuealso to serve as Chairman of theExtension Law Department. Asum of at least $20,000 will bemade available each year for lawfaculty members to do research,writing and lecturing for exten-sion programs, and a number of

IV

faculty members are going to betaking advantage of this oppor-tunity, starting this summer. Iassume we can generally classifythis change in our program as bar-related or practice-oriented,although we also believe we havean obligation to serve the largercommunity through this work.

Secondly, we have adopted newguidelines designed to improve thequality of our clinical instruction,and I assume this can be con-sidered to be a practice-orientedchange. See my comments in thepreceding issue of the Gargoyle.

On the other hand, we also havetaken some preliminary steps toimprove our research capabilities.The committee dealing with thissubject probably will not report tothe faculty until next fall, but wehope to make some administrativechanges which may promote theflow of research funds to the LawSchool.

Finally, I should mention brieflya project which Professor JohnConway has been working on thispast semester and which now hasbeen approved by our faculty. Thisis a proposal for a joint program inlaw and public administrationwhich would permit a student whoenrolls in both programs to obtainboth an M.A. in Public Adminis-tration and a J.D. in sevensemesters plus a summer session.It is designed particularly tobenefit the fairly large proportionof our students who are interestedin government careers.

The multi-faceted nature of ourfunction is evident again in theresearch and public service ac-tivities of our faculty. In prepara-tion for this report, I asked facultymembers to summarize for metheir research and public serviceactivities during the past year. Ithen tried to classify these ac-tivities according to whether theywere "bar-related" or "society-rel-ated," for want of better terms. Itproved to be a very interesting ex-ercise, although, as you might im-agine, I encountered somedifficult classification problems attimes.

The research activities of ourfaculty are so extensive that I canonly touch upon a very few ofthem in this report. Let me illustr-ate the diversity in research ac-tivities simply by reference to thebooks published by our facultyduring the past year or shortly tobe published. In so doing, I recogn-ize the possibility that I am omit-ting reference to other facultymembers whose research ac-tivities may have been as exten-sive as those whose product tookthe form of published books.

On the one hand we have StuartGullickson's book on "Structuringa General Practice Course." If wecontinue with our bar-related,society-related classification, wewould have to classify this one asbar-related, for it is designed toshow step-by-step how to set up aGeneral Practice Course which inturn is intended to help bridge thegap between legal education andlaw practice. Incidentally, theABA is about to undertake a pro-ject to promote the adoption ofthis course or some version of it inlaw schools throughout the coun-try. So far, it has been uniquely aWisconsin offering.

LAW SCHOOLLOSES A FRIEND

On April 25 and 26, ProfessorJune Weisberger participated inthe fifth annual conference onCollective Bargaining and theFuture of Higher Education whichtook place at the Biltmore Hotel inNew York. Professor Weisbergerserved as speaker in one of thesections, which dealt with theprospects for new state andfederal legislation and recent deci-sions by administrative agenciesand courts.

The Conference was sponsoredby the National Center for theStudy of Collective Bargaining inHigher Education, Baruch Col-lege, City University of New York.

The whole University, includingthe Law School, lost a dear friendwhen Emeritus Professor OttoKowalke died on December 28.Professor Kowalke was 99. Duringall the years of his retirement, heserved as one of the trustees of theestate of Minnie Reiss Detling,which each year provides threegenerous fellowships to enteringlaw students. Mrs. Detling,Sheboygan, left a large sum ofmoney in trust for beneficial usesto the University as determinedby the Trustees of the estate.

Professor Kowalke, a native ofManitowoc, joined the Depart-ment of Chemical Engineering in1906 and retired in 1940.

One of the most pleasant LawSchool activities in the annualLaw School calendar is theAwards Convocation held tradi-tionally on the Saturday of theSpring Program.

Prizes are given for specific per-formances: distinction in Con-stitutional Law, or in Insuranceand Tort Law, or class rankings-numbers 1 and 2, or greatest im-provement in over-all grade pointaverages. Also, there are prizesfor particular Law Review arti-

cles, judged by a Faculty Commit-tee, or distinguished perform-ances in Appellate Advocacy,judged by panels of sitting judges.Newly elected Law Review Editorsare presented, and the climax ofthe Program is the announcementof the graduating students whohave been elected to the Order ofthe Coif, the most prestigiousacademic award offered to gra-duating students in all lawschools.

Several prizes designated for

"contributions to the Law School,""character," "service" and othersterling qualities and achieve-ments are more difficult to offer,particularly since the Law Schoolhas become large. Awards arenever given to undeserving peo-ple. Nevertheless, the decision-makers are aware that some trulydeserving people are never recog-nized, that many acts of unusualmotivation, quiet courage, oranonymous service go u n-rewarded in the Law School asthey do elsewhere in life.

j)',stingu\shed Service

~wards.

At each annual meeting of the Wisconsin Law Alumni Association, twoawards for distinguished service to the Law School and the legal professionare announced. Traditionally, these have included one Faculty memberand one alumnus. In 1977, the awards went to Warren Resh (class of '27),former Assistant Attorney General, and Professor Emeritus Richard V.Campbell.

left to Right: Prof. Young, Prof. Campbell, Warren Flesh,Philip Haber-man, Thomas Anderson, WlAA President.

Emeritus Professor Richard V.Campbell, a member of theFaculty since 1930, was the reci-pient of the Wisconsin Law Alum-ni Association Distinguished Serv-ice Award at its annual meetingon April 23. Professor GeorgeYoung made the presentation,paying tribute to ProfessorCampbell for his "understandingand considerate assistance to stu-dents and faculty - and to the ad-ministration of the Law School."

Professor Campbell is a nativeof Minnesota, and a graduate ofits University and Law School.After several years of privatepractice, he earned an SJD as aSterling Fellow at Yale, and em-barked on his teaching career atthe University of Wisconsin LawSchool. Here he remained until hisretirement more than 40 yearslater.

Most living alumni of our lawschool remember that he taughtTorts. He was, in the words of Gor-don Sinykin (1933) a "wonderfulteacher - an inspiration to hisstudents." Much of what helearned from Mr. Campbell, Mr.Sinykin says, has stayed with himfor more than 40 years. WillardStafford (1939) recalls that he"was a damned good teacher-alive, provocative and in-terested." Professor Campbell, hesays, ranks with the greatteachers of all time.

His admirers are legion. One ofthe last courses he taught was inthe 1970 summer pre-admissionprogram. Some of those students,now recent graduates, rememberhis consideration and endless pa-tience - above and beyond thecalls of his duty. They recall hiswillingness to meet all afternoon,if necessary, to explain and res-pond to their questions and toallay the tensions of a difficultsummer.

Several of them have said thattheir Torts class with Mr.Campbell was the outstandingcourse of their entire law schoolexperience.

Philip Haberman, former Ex-ecutive Director of the State Barof Wisconsin, presented theWLAA's Distinguished AlumniService Award to Warren Resh.Mr. Resh retired from his positionas Assistant Attorney General in1967, and has served since thattime as Special Counsel to theState Bar of Wisconsin.

Mr. Haberman's remarksfollow:

One hundred and twenty-fiveyears ago, two-thirds of Wiscon-sin, from Portage north, wascovered by an almost endlessforest of pines. In describing thisempire of pine the old time woods-men told of the few and scatteredmonarchs of the forest thatloomed far above the other trees.These giants of their kind wereknown as "grandfather pines."

My task today is to introduce a"grandfather pine" of the legalprofession.

I am obliged to Dean Helstad forhis approval, and to my studentsfor indulgence in makeup classes,for a ten day January visit toUnited States citizens held inseveral Bolivian jails. It istherefore fitting that theGargoyle, the school's officialpublication, receive my first publiccomments. I write also to correctJack Anderson's columns whichhave twice reported luridly, but in-accura tely, on the prisoners'plight.

In January the State Depart-ment, prompted by the complaintsof 35 American citizens held onvarious narcotics charges inseveral Bolivian jails, and inresponse to the persistence of theprisoners' parents and friends inthis country, sent a three-manteam to La Paz, Santa Cruz, andCochabamba, Bolivia to find thefacts and report to both our Am-bassador in La Paz and to theDepartment in Washington. I wasasked to serve with a seniorforeign service officer, SamMoscowitz, and a State Depart-ment lawyer, Louis Fields,because it was believed useful forthe mission to include an indepen-dent observer. Of particular con-cern were the nature of thecharges, the methods of investiga-tion and the legal implications ofthe failure of the Bolivian courtsto complete the trials of the 35;only one had been convicted (andsentenced to 20 years), althoughfive were arrested in 1974; elevenin 1975; fourteen in 1976; and fivein 1977. In late March two of themost recently arrested Americansescaped from the La Paz prison,thereby reducing the trial docket,but aggravating securitymeasures causing dismay in thejails, in Washington, and in theBolivian Ministry of Interior. Inlate April we were heartenedwhen four Americans who hadbeen held for three years, were

x

finally convicted for possession,rather than for trafficking as orig-inally charged. Their sentencesare light enough so that they willprobably be soon returned to theUnited States.

Nineteen American men areheld in the San Pedro Prison incentral La Paz sharing facilitieswith over 625 others in a 19th cen-tury cloistered facility built for240 inmates. No prison programexists, nor are those sentencedsegregated from those (most)awaiting completion of the longtrial process. We heard many com-plaints about the inadequacy ofmedical and dental treatment. Forexample, it took vigorous diplo-matic effort to obtain treatmentfor one of the prisoners who wasseverely ill from an abscessedtooth, and several weeks moreeffort to obtain treatment for oneof the prisoners who is an addict.Narcotics, reputedly high qualitycocaine, are available to prisonerswho can afford their purchase andseveral of the prisoners were con-cededly addicts. On the otherhand, we saw no evidence thatUnited States citizens werespecifically singled out for dis-criminatory treatment. Prison dis-cipline is sometimes severe, but allinhabitants appear to share itsburdens. However, the Americanswere severely disadvantaged inthat Bolivian prisoners are visitedregularly by their families whoprovide food, companionship andnecessary care. The prison yard inthe men's prison in La Paz isregularly crowded with visitors in-cluding children, families andfriends, but only a few of theAmericans' families can affordtrips to Bolivia. Our visit didstimulate more members of theAmerican community in La Paz tovisit their countrymen. The fiveAmerican women prisoners in LaPaz have greater difficulty inreceiving visitors. Ordinarily they

may only meet relatives, or theDepartment of State representa-tives. The women's prison in LaPaz is operated by devoted butstrict Catholic sisters. In SantaCruz, however, where five Ameri-cans are held, the prison is moreprimitive but men and womenshare a common court-yard, andall can receive visitors more freelythan in La Paz.

We received the utmost assis-tance from our embassy, and fullcooperation from Bolivians, in-cluding prison administrators,narcotics police, the Minister ofInterior, and several other highranking officials. Nothing washidden from us. We visited theprisons, spoke privately with allthe Americans there, and haduseful talks with the Minister ofInterior, most of the judges, andseveral prosecutors.

Bolivia has been a poor country,politically unstable until recently,and it faces greater demands forpublic service than the nation cansupply. Its press and governmentare very sensitive to criticism.However, no one is proud of theconditions in the several prisons;a recent editorial in the CatholicPresencia in La Paz conceded, "thejails are in bad condition foreverybody."!

A\umn', Fund DrlveSuccessful End

The 1976-77 Law Alumni FundDrive has now ended. The resultswere both encouraging and dis-couraging. In absolute figures,both the amount of contributionsand the number of contributorsset new records. This year 666alumni donors gave over $66,000to the Law School. The $66,000represents a 23 percent increaseover last year - cause to be en-couraged. Our goal on contribu-tors, however, was to double thenumber. Here we failed miserably.The 666 donors compares to lastyear's 665. In order to raise theamount of contributions by 23 per-cent, the average gift had to in-crease from $76 to $99, or 30 per-cent.

The annual fund drive is onlypart of the story concerningvoluntary financial support forthe Law School. A few of the FundDrive contributors make theircontributions through the Univer-sity of Wisconsin Foundation forthe benefit of the Law School. Last

Comes to

year the Law School solicitedthrough the Foundation for theLloyd K. Garrison Fund. Estab-lished to honor our former Dean,now retired from practice in NewYork, this fund is used to en-courage new and innovativecourses and teaching methods.Contributions to the account dur-ing 1976-77 amounted to morethan $5,000. Two other individualcontributions to the Law Schoolthrough the Foundation, in theamounts of $6,000 and $10,000,brought the total by way of thefoundation to more than $23,000.

Another source of financial sup-port has been through insurancecompanies and foundations. Thesecontributions, amounting to about$5,400, are earmarked for finan-cial aids for students in our LegalEducation Opportunities Pro-gram. L.E.O. also receives moneydirectly from the state budget andfrom the Knapp Endowment.

While at least in terms of dol-

lars contributed this has been asuccessful year, there is no let upin the demand for financial assis-tance to the Law School in addi·tion to tax support. Law studentshave been forced more and moreto rely on educational loans ratherthan scholarships or grants. Formany this creates tension and un-necessary pressure throughschool and in the early years ofpractice. For some the burdenbecomes intolerable. The rate ofdefaults and bankruptcies is in-creasing. And so are educationalcosts! More and more students fallwithin the financial aid guidelinesdespite the fact that thoseguidelines are raised each year toattempt to balance need withavailable resources.

The challenge of bettering ourfund raising effort is obvious.Even now plans for the 1977-78Fund Drive are being made.Volunteers have come forward,and others are needed. To be suc-cessful, last year's contributorsmust repeat for next year, and asubstantial number of new con-tributors must be encouraged tojoin those already assisting thisSchool in the training of good newlawyers.

THE GARGOYLE xv

Zile off tof"n\ and forfirst semegter

Professor Zigurds Zile willrepresent the University ofWisconsin for the first semester,1977-78, as a Visiting ResearchProfessor at the University ofHelsinki in Finland. The Ex-change Professorship between thetwo universities was establishedin the early 1960's and there havebeen visiting professors fromWisconsin alternating with Fin-nish visitors here ever since. Par-ticipants are chosen from the ap-plicants by the Helsinki ExchangeAdvisory Committee, composed ofWisconsin faculty members whohave participated in the Ex-change.

Professor Zile's research will bepart of an inquiry into the broadquestion of the transferability oflaw and legal institutions andresistance to externally-imposedsocial change. Latvia will be thefocus of his study. An independentcountry between 1918 and 1940,Latvia remained a part of thewestern Protestant culture estab-lished during earlier dominationby German feudalism and bySweden. He will attempt to dis-cover the extent to which legal in-stitutions and the attitudestoward them in Latvian societywere affected by the Soviet revolu-tion.

Professor Zile will study inHelsinki because the relevantdocuments in Riga, Latvia are noteasily available. Research byforeigners is subject to closeSoviet control in the LatvianSocialist Soviet Republic. TheHelsinki University library has anexceptional collection of Latvianmaterials.

XVI

Professor Zile is a Latvian bybirth. He is a naturalized citizen ofthe United States (1953) whocame here with his family by wayof German refugee camps. Hegraduated from the University ofWisconsin in 1956, and the LawSchool in 1958. He earned an SJDdegree at Harvard in 1967. He hasbeen a member of the Law Facultysince 1961.

His interests are broad. An in-ternationally recognized scholarin the Law in the Soviet Union, heis also an expert in land use con-trols, including coastal zone man-agement.

A teaching interest has recentlyled Professor Zile into the currentdiscussion of proposed legislationto establish a civil cause of actionfor invasion of privacy by statutein Wisconsin. The proposal isbeing stiffly resisted by newspa-per publishers and others con-cerned with opening avenues ofpublic information.

Joel Handle~German Marshallfund Fellow

Professor Joel Handler

Professor Joel Handler has beennamed a German Marshall FundFellow during 1977-78. TheFellowship will make it possiblefor him to go to England to ex-amine basic problems in Britishwelfare administration. He willstudy the nature and growth ofadministrative discretion in auniform welfare system on theone hand, and the implementationof increased regulation on theother. Of particular interest willbe the roles played by organiza-tions providing the impetus forpromoting the legal rights of peo-ple caught in the welfare system.

This is another phase of a studybegun by Professor Handler inEngland ten years ago. It is atimely return to the subjectbecause Great Britain is at pre-sent involved in a major reform ofits welfare system.

Tlie German Marshall Fundwas established as a memorial tothe Marshall Plan by a gift fromthe Federal Republic of Germanyin 1972. Proceeds of the Fund areto be administered "without anyinfluence by German authorities."Grants cover a wide range of ac-tivities, all related to the commonproblems of industrial societies,and are not limited to U.S.-Ger-man projects.

BALDWIN, Con't.fromp.lO

Americans with money,perhaps as much as $150 permonth, can live with an adequatediet. The prison food is not enoughto subsist upon and prisonersmust purchase and cook their ownmeals, supply their own beddingand care for their own needs.Several of the prisoners' Ameri-can families have found sendingmoney burdensome, particularlywhen coupled with the need to for-ward large legal fees to localcounsel. After our visit, and partlyas a result of our recommenda-tions, the American Embassy hashired two local Bolivian counsel,not to represent, but to monitorand report upon the course of thevarious trials and to do what ispossible to speed the trial process.All hearings are now attended byone of the Embassy's lawyers andby an American diplomat. Theirpresence, we hope, stimulates bet-ter service by defense counsel,fosters the production of evidencefrom the United States. It alsoreveals continuing United Statesconcern. Many of the prisonersbelieved that the United Stateshad deserted them.

Long delays in the trial processare particularly vexing and couldraise questions of internationallaw. However, delays of manymonths are not uncommon andare caused by several conditions.First, the narcotics law is harsh,its penalties, a minimum of twoyears for possession of anyamount, are mandatory, andjudges and defense counsel havebeen unwilling to press for convic-tions. Secondly the law specifies atleast twelve different offenses forwhich the !I?andatory penaltiesrange up to .25 or more years.Without a jury system to rulewhere reason compels no answer,it is hard to draw accurate distinc-tions among such offenses astrafficking, importing, distribut-ing, marketing, conspiring, etc.Thirdly the evidence must be,wherever possible, reduced towriting, and character andreputation evidence from theUnited States must be supplied.Documents must be translated,certified and authenticated.

THE GARGOYLE

Lastly, many judges were hopingthat the harsh law would beameliorated by promised amend-ments. Finally in January 1977 anew law became effective - itreduced some of the penalties, butthat for possession, the leastoffense, is still a mandatory twoyears. However there now is a pro-vision for reduced time for goodbehavior. In some cases delayswere attributable to judges' fearthat a judgment of acquittal wouldbe followed by charges of judicialbribery. Indeed, at least one judgewas recently imprisoned on acharge of having acquitted an ac-cused against the weight of theevidence. We also heard com-plaints about the inadequatequality of translators and locallawyers. Evidently many compe-tent Bolivian lawyers are reluc-tant to defend those held on nar-cotics charges, and there are fewable translators available.Prisoners are expected to pay fortheir own lawyers, translators andfor expert assistance.

Our meetings with all the Boli-vian judges and prosecutors werecordial and the complaints weheard from them familiar: theshortage of judges, the scarcity ofcourtrooms and the heavycaseload. Since our mission theBolivian Government has desig-nated new judges for narcoticscases, and allocated moreresources to the judiciary.Nevertheless, the progress in thecases is glacial at best.

Several of the prisonersbelieved that their arrest and in-carceration was the direct respon-sibility of the United Statesgenerally and of the Federal DrugEnforcement Administration par-ticularly. Certainly narcotics lawenforcement in Bolivia serves animportant United States interestinasmuch as Bolivia is one of theworld's leading producers of co-caine. Immense profits are gainedfrom a successful transportationof even small amounts of refined

cocaine. Hence the majortraffickers are well organized, andoften well armed. Curbing thetraffic is difficult and costly. Itchallenges the law enforcementcapacities of both countries.Under international narcoticsagreements the participatingcountries are obliged to cooperateby exchanging information. Tothis end three American drug en-forcement agents are stationed inLa Paz with responsibility forfostering cooperation and supply-ing training to the narcotics policeof Bolivia. They are able and dedi-cated professionals. We found nobasis for any charges of im-proprieties. Indeed, I believe thatthe presence of these bilingualagents is an asset. As trained lawenforcement agents they have agood sense of priorities, are able tointerpret the information suppliedunder the treaty, and often directthe Bolivians to major rather thanminor offenders. Contrary to afrequent allegation, however, theAmerican agents do not controlBolivian police.

The prisoners are an appealing,friendly and engaging group ofyoung people. Their backgroundsand ages varied, but most are col-lege graduates. All were articulateand the majority captured ourteam's sympathy. I found onedelightful young man, a law stu-dent, intently studying for a U'S,bar examination. Several arefluent in Spanish, but a few whowere arrested soon after arrivingin Bolivia are helpless in thattongue. Nevertheless, one youngman learned so well that hecourted and married a Boliviangirl he met during visitors day. Iexpect he will be soon released. Afew admit to possessing smallamounts of cocaine, and othersclaim that narcotics were plantedin their rooms. In some cases Ibelieve the prosecutor's case isweak. Some strenuously, andwithout avail, deny any guiltwhatsoever. Most would be will-ing, regardless of guilt, to pleadguilty if they were allowed toreturn home.

Relevant under Bolivian law aretheir reputations and conductwhile in the United States. Accep-table proof, however, must bereduced to affidavits, translatedinto Spanish and authenticated,usually for a fee, by a Bolivianconsul within the United States.These procedures are complicated,expensive, and time-consuming.Our team has, with some success,attempted to alleviate thesedifficulties.

No problem vexes Bolivian-U.S.relations today as much as theprisoner problem, althoughBolivia is only one of the severalcountries holding nearly 3,000Americans on drug-relatedcharges. The prisoners engage theattention of high level officials inboth countries, but the solutioncurrently lies in judicial ratherthan in a political disposition ofthe cases. Presently the cases arebeing heard by the judges on an

expedited basis which we expectwill benefit all the prisoners, notmerely the Americans. The benchand bar of Bolivia are challenged.No one contests their commitmentto justice, but their ability todeliver it promptly remains indoubt. The prisoners' families inAmerica are earnestly pressingcomplaints through the StateDepartment, the Congress and theWhite House. Our Ambassadorand his staff in La Paz now devoteconsiderable time, and largerresources, to prisoner welfare, butnot until late April were theretangible results, the conviction offour of those held for the longestperiods. The review of all convic-tions and sentences is mandatory,however, and it may be severalweeks before those whose time injail is equal to, or greater than themandatory penalty will bereleased.

The legal issues, under Bolivian

law, and under international laware complex, and are under con-tinuing study. The Department ofState's concern remains strong,genuine, and persistent. Largelyas a result of our inquiries theUnited States Government isdevoting greater attention to itscitizens in Bolivia, and the Boli-vian Government also is focusedupon the needs of its judicialsystem as never before. Improve-ments will benefit all prisoners.

In the distance may be anothertroublesome issue: can a sug-gested "prisoner exchange agree-ment" with Bolivia be constitu-tionally enforced? No such agree-ment exists, nor is one im-mediately contemplated, butshould any Bolivian proceedingsresult in long prison sentences itis probable that an agreement,like those recently negotiatedwith Mexico and with Canada, willbe discussed.

DEAN, Con 't. from p. 4

On the other hand, we haveHerman Goldstein's book on"Policing a Free Society," whichhas received high praise for its ex-ploration of major problems in thepolicing field. We would probablyclassify this one as society-oriented, even though lawyers as agroup are very much concernedwith the police function as anaspect of the administration ofjustice. We would probably have toput Stewart Macaulay's book on"Law and the BehavioralSciences" (co-authored by Profes-sor Lawrence Friedman of Stan-ford) into the same category. Anew edition of this book will bepublished this year.

Somewhat harder to classify isTed Finman's and Ted Schneyer'sbook on "The Lawyer in ModernSociety" (a professional respon-sibilities coursebook also co-authored by Professor VernCoun tryman of Harvard), JoelHandler's and Neil Komesar'sforthcoming book on Public In-terest Law (also co-authored byProfessor Burton Weisbrod of theUW-Madison Economics Depart-

ment), and George Bunn's cour-sebook on "Legislative and Ad-ministrative Process" (co-authored by Professor Hans Lindeof Oregon).

When we turn to the publicservice activities of our faculty(which are very extensive), wefind a similarly wide range of ac-tivities. Some of these have beenreported briefly in past issues ofthe Gargoyle, but many have not.However, I will not take the timeor space to do so now.

Moreover, I have not said any-thing about our most importantfunction - teaching. But it is fairto assume that the same tensionsand dichotomies exist there as inthe research and public serviceareas. I will simply report that ourboard of visitors last fall foundclassroom teaching at our lawschool to be very good.

In summary, our educationalprogram is a multi-faceted one. Ibelieve we are doing all right inour efforts to maintain a properbalance between our goals oftraining for the law profession

and our goals of promoting learn-ing about law and its functioningin society, but it is a matter whichbears constant attention. Somewho have recently written on thesubject of legal education havereached back to Greek mythologyand have made references to theneed to steer a path between theScylla of practical experience andthe Charybdis of systematicacademic preparation. Havinggrown up on a farm in westernWisconsin, I feel more at ease withformer Dean George Young'scharacterization: We need severalkinds of horses to properly plowthe legal education field. We needteaching horses, research horsesand public service horses. They donot all need to be equally good ateach job, but they must be able towork together to get the total jobdone. That is the challenge weface.

through the rocks and shoals oflife. Here is my advice:

1. Avoid jackrabbit starts.2. Wait at least 112 hour after

eating before going back into thewater.

3. Brush up and down, notacross.

4. Remove necktie beforeoperating lathe.

5. Mail early in the day.6. Don't slouch.7. Make sure that seat backs

and tray tables are in their fullupright position before landing.

8. Never draw to an insidestraight.

9. Get set for metric.10. Take all you want, but eat all

you take.11. Don't run near the pool.12. Check tire pressure often.And last, call if you're going to

be late." Ladies and gentlemen,how can one possibly do justicewhen introducing for your dis-tinguished service award a"grandfather pine" who needs nointroduction?

Perhaps, like in the late TVshow, it is best to just say,"HERE'S WARREN."

memory and ability of recall.He has an extremely broad

grasp of law and procedure. He istruly a "lawyer's lawyer" - andwhy some governor didn't appointhim to the Supreme Court willforever amaze me.

He is a voracious reader of allsorts of good books.

He is known nationally as thecountry's top expert on UPL - asI travel the country, bar leaderseverywhere know his name.

Perhaps best of all, he has adelightful sense of humor, as youwill see, and is a first-class story-teller as well as a genuine goodcompanion.

And, so help me, I don't know ofhis having any bad habits or vices.No one has rendered more outs-tanding service or is more deserv-ing of your distinguished serviceaward.

With all his years of experienceand accumulated wisdom, he haslearned many important thingsfrom life.

The other day he told me this:"I can distill all that I have

learned into these few words,which, if followed closely, willguide lawyer or layman safely

AWARDS from page 8

Over many years of workingwith the legislature - the StateBar - the ABA - and elsewhere,it has been my privilege to associ-ate with four or five truly greatpersonages. The subject of theseremarks is one of these few.

He is Warren H. Resh - and ifthere is anyone in this room whodoesn't know of him, I'msurprised.

Reared on a farm in NorthernIllinois, Warren came up the hardway. He earned a Phi Beta KappaKey and B.A. and J.D. degreesfrom the University of Wisconsin.After practicing law in Madisonwith the firm of Warner, Risserand Resh for six years, he servedwith distinction as an AssistantAttorney General of Wisconsin formore than 32 years.

Among other assignments asAssistant Attorney General hehandled all unauthorized practiceof law cases during the period of1934 to 1967. He served as legalcounsel for the University ofWisconsin, the state colleges, theState Building Commission, theState Historical Society andvarious state examining boards.

He was Vice-Chairman of theJudicial Council of Wisconsin,Chairman of its Committee onJudicial Administration, andcounsel for the Court Administra-tor of Wisconsin. He is a pastchairman of the State BarUnauthorized Practice of LawCommittee and presently an ad-visory member, a former memberof the American Bar AssociationStanding Committee onUnauthorized Practice of Law andfor many years was Editor of"Unauthorized Practice News."

He has been Special Counsel forthe State Bar of Wisconsin sinceretirement as Assistant AttorneyGeneral.

So much for the vital statistics.The complete list would takepages more. But these facts arequantitative, not qualitative. Thetrue man is much more.

He is the most prodigious, pro-ductive worker I have ever known.He has an outstanding intellect, amagnificent command of ourlanguage, and a most retentive
