'C get royal treatment By LAURIE WINKLEMAN Shower facilities, bedrooms, and a kitchen adjacent to a law firm's office are a clear sign that the firm's em- ployees are expected to put in a lot of time at work. , Ask any University law student. He or she should be able to tell more than one wants to know about the finer points of sizing up a prospective employer. UNIVERSITY law students are a sought-after group. When they graduate after three years of law school they know as much about being inter- viewed for jobs as they know about legal cases and precedents. "About 700 firms, most offering more than one job, come to the University, each year to interview a total of about 500 second and third year law studen- ts," said law student Peter Lieb. "That's an average of more than two jobs per student." Law students are interviewed, wined and dined, and sometimes flown to a firm's home city (where they get a chance to check whether there are living facilities adjacent to the office). PROSPECTIVE employers also try to sell students on their location by showing them the city and taking them to sporting events. The firms pick up the entire tab for transportation, hotel, and food expenses. It may all sound quite glamorous, but law students say they quickly grow tired of the endless interviews. "It's a boost to one's ego to have a firm spend $1,000 on you," said second- year student Jdhn Shea. "But soon the initial excitement wears off andthe in- terviews aren't fun." SECOND-YEAR law student Jeff Eisenberg agreed: "After a day of 12 one-half hour interviews at a firm, you are exhausted and your head is spin- ning, but you still have to go out to din- ner that night with firm representatives and be charming and sober." Last year, 711 law firms, cor- porations, government agencies, banks, and CPA firms conducted inter- views at the law school, according to placement office director Nancy Krieger. Any firm that wants to interview at the law school must see all the students who wish to be interviewed, Krieger said. Firms are not allowed to see a student's transcript until after the in- terview. "THE PLACEMENT office is for all the law students, not just those in the top 10 percent of their class," Krieger said. The law school, she added, refuses to ranks students by grade point 'average because it believes such rankings give a See 'U', Page 2 MICHIGAN LAW REVIEW Managing Editor Peter Lieb and Contributing Editor Mark Van Patten look over an article. Some law students say Review staffers are vigorously pursued by law firm employers. Review editors, meanwhile, say putting out the Review eight times a year is no treat. See story, Page 2. U w Baker: Stockman may have to resign From UPI and AP WASHINGTON - David Stockman remained on the job yesterday, nose- deep in a budget review, but a key Republican leader acknowledged that despite the budget director's, abject apology his days on the Reagan team may be numbered. The future of the "damaged" 35-year- old economic whiz was a hot topic on Capitol Hill where Democrats and said Stockman had lost-his credibility for his remarks in a magazine interview that characterized President Reagan's tax cuts as a "Trojan Horse" designed to help the rich. "OH SURE," said Office of Management and Budget spokesman Edwin Dale when asked if Stockman came to work yesterday. "He's been at work all day," spending part of the time on a line-by-line "director's review of the entire budget he submitted to Congress in January., Stockman cancelled a scheduled ap- pearance for tomorrow morning on a network television interview show. His office said he had agreed to appear before the magazine article surfaced but now "does not want to discuss the incident further." Stockman,, described by acquaintan- ces as a bright and sometimes arrogant economic planner, appeared humble, his voice quavering with emotion at as packed news conference Thursday, revealing he had offered his resignation for his "poor judgment and loose talk" but that Reagan-although angry- decided to give him a "second chance." ONE WHITE House aide said "Ive never seen the president more angry" than after Reagan read the article writ- ten for The Atlantic by William Greider, an asistant managing editor of The Washington Post. The aide said Stockman was "pretty shaky" after the meeting with Reagan, and the budget director described the Oval Office session as "more in the nature of a visit to the woodshed." Senate Republican leader Howard Baker of Tennessee acknowledged yesterday Stockman may prove too much of a liability to stay in Reagan's inner circle. ASKED BY A reporter whether See BAKER, Page 3 Shuttle returns today following shortened flight 1. From AP and UP[ CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Troubled from the start, the second mission of space shuttle Columbia will return to earth today, its objectives "90 percent" complete but its flight time more than halved by an errant elec- trical generator. Astronauts Joe Engle and Richard Truly are to land at 1:22 p.m:PST on a parched desert runway in California. Columbia's flight was smooth on its second day yesterday and experiments with a robot arm gave Columbia a solid accomplishment to dull the disappoin- tment of a forced early return. A failed electrical part led NASA officials to scrap the final three days of Columbia's mission. "We think it's the prudent thing to do in this phase of the test program," said Chris Kraft, director of the Johnson Space Center which controls the mission from Houston. "We got 90 percent of what we flew for," said Glynn Lunney, manager of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's shuttle program. We began to ask ourselves, is there enough to be gained by continuing the flight?.. THE CONCLUSION, he said, was that "we ought to plan to reenter .... tomorrow and not take any subsequent risks." The landing sequence begins at 12:10 p.m. PST when the crew turns the shuttle to a tail first position, and 15 minutes later, in orbit over the Indian Ocean, fire their engines for two minutes, 29 seconds. The ship then begins its descent from 157 miles and enters the atmosphere north of Hawaii, 15 minutes later. The ship then encgunters a tense, 17-minute radio blackout, its tiles glowing with the heat of friction. Then, onto California. ENGLE AND TRULY got the word that NASA had ordered a "minimum mission" just as they were beginning their second 24 hours in space. "Gee. That's not so good," said Engle. The astronauts offered, to work longer hours in an already long day to cram in as much work as possible. The decision came after Engle and Truly had completed the first space test of Columbia's space arm - a crucial step in preparing the shuttle for even- tual work missions deploying and retrieving satellites. ONCE NASA discovered the post- launch failure of one of Columbia's three fuel cells, reducing the mission seemed inevitable. Agency guidelines call for a "minimum mission' of 54 hours when a fuel cell is shut down. The astronauts spent much of their second day in space running tests on the $100 million, Canadian-built crane that has shoulder, elbow and wrist joints just like a human arm. But it is 50 feet long and designed to pick satellites out of the shuttle's bay and plant them in space.

'1,.Purdue battle features top receivers By GREG DEGULIS Special to the Daily WEST LAFAYETTE - One' may be the loneliest number, but don't tell An- thony Carter and Purdue wide receiver Steve Bryant that. These two pass cat- chers, who both wear number one on their jerseys, should draw the company of several defenders as first-place Michigan battles Purdue on the grass at Ross-Ade Stadium today at 1:30 p.m. Today's game, which the Wolverines (5-2 conference, 7-2 overall) must win to stay in the Rose Bowl picture, features two of the nation's finest receivers in Carter and Bryant. Bryant, a 6-3, 187- lb. senior from Los Angeles, cherishes the opportunity to match talents with Michigan's number one. "All the talk I've heard has been about number one (Carter) and that gets me more pum- ped for the game," said Bryant, Pur- due's leading scorer with 10 touch- downs. SO FAR, BRYANT is enjoying statistically a better year than the All- American Carter. The Purdue senior has 51 catches for 858 yards and a 16.8 yards-per-reception average, while Michigan's junior star counters with a 1981 record of 33 catches for 670 yards, a 20.3 yard average, and seven touch- downs of his own. "The beginning of the year was rough," said Bryant. "But as the season went along we got our timing down and things have been going well." Things have been going so well for the Purdue receiver that Michigan's coach Bo Schembechler claims Bryant "might very well- be the most dangerous offensive player we've faced all year." MICHIGAN'S counterpart to Bryant is hitting his stride as well. After a gimpy start ("early in the season he was running on a bad wheel" said Bo), Carter has exploded with 545 total yar- ds in his last two games. Bo mentioned that the Wolverines plan to turn the now healthy Carter loose, and they have done just that. .Carter is currently returning punts as well as kickoffs, and the offensive sparkplug accounted for 309 total yards and two touchdowns against Illinois, his. finest all-around statistical day as a Wolverine. The players who will be catching passes this afternoon are not the only talented ones, however. Those who throw are also among the best. Purdue sophomore quarterback Scott Cam- pbell, who conducted a 516-yard aerial circus against Ohio State two weeks ago, ranks among the nation's top passers. See CRTERPage7 " ". .... . .F ..: E .

"The thing I'm most unhappy over, what with these delays in the development of the shuttle over the last three or four years, is that I may miss my chance," Cronkite said. "But believe me, I keep my fingers crossed-keep hoping." Cronkite, former CBS Evening News anchorman and now host of the Network's program "Universe" has long been a petition that he was drunk when the wedding allegedly took place in South Carolina seven years ago .and he cannot remember a ceremony. He does, however, remember the trip. The petition said Janet Powell "has told the plaintiff they are married, but the defendant will not let the plaintiff see a dopy of the marriage license." If they are legally married, Whitley said, Powell is asking the court to grant him a divorce. Whitley said the unusual court action was taken after Janet Powell repeatedly refused her to show her alleged husband a marriage license. ii, ,f 41 J r d 1.
