MODERN-DAY PORTIAS--Much of the life of a law student at
the University is spent in doing research poring over 'huge' vol-
umes of legal material. Mary Anderson, freshman in Law school,
does some research in the law library for a case brief which she
is preparing for the next day's class.

Upperclassmen Give Exam Advice

By MARJORIaE BLUTTMAN
"Do anything -- but just don't
clutch." This statement, from a
senior coed, seemed to typify most
of the advice given to freshmen
on preparation for final exams.
Since this is the time of the
year that freshmen experience
those butterfles of apprehension
or perhaps slight sensations of
drowning, University sophomore,
junior and senior students were
willing to offer some experienced
advice.
"I've found that keeping a level
head takes my mind off worry,"
suggested William Siegal, '56. "I
try not to get agitated by pending
examinations."
'See A Movie'
Another advocate of relaxation
before tests is Patricia Brophy, '57.
She finds that her best results
come from seeing a movie or lis-
tening to records before the exam.
"It lessens the tension, and I do
much better on my finals when
I'm relaxed."
Several other upperclassmen
stated that freshmen should not
try to learn the entire course in
two or three nights of cramming.
As Jack Lichty, '56, put it: "If
you don't know it in the middle of
January, you won't know it for
the exams."
Lichty explained that his meth-
od is to make a general outline of
the course for review rather than
learn many little facts. He said
emphatically that "cramming does
no good at all."
In the opinions of some, cram-
ming appears to have its benefits.
Marjorie Greenfield, '56, a firm
believer in cramming, studies ev-
erything in the course before mak-
ing an outline. She prefers her
own room for study because she's
"used to working there" and con-
centrates on only one subject an
evening.
Like other things, cramming has
its degrees. One can cram until
the evening before the exam or
right down to the final minute.
Do It In Style
One junior student with a four-
point average said that he had
tried "all the tricks." I'm not say-
ing that one should cram-many
subjects don't call for it-but if
you do, it should be done in style.

An orientation program for the
590 freshmen entering next semes-
ter has already been planned, ac-
cording to Bob Blossy and Sue
Pricker, chairmen of Orientation
Week for men and women respec-
tively.
Men entering the University will
see for the first time all the blue
prints for the addition to the Un-
ion and have a special tour of the
building. Their traditional stag
night will feature the Michigan-
Minnesota football game film nar-
rated by Wally Weber, assistant
football coach of the University.
Freshmen women will have a
tour of the League and will be in-
troduced to members of the
League Council who will tell them
about facilities open to women.
Orientation leaders will be
those who have had experience
during the fall. Bloosey remarked
that all students who have not
had previous experience will have
an opportunity to conduct groups

in the fall of this year. He empha-
sized that orientation work is a
full time job. "The leader must
want to help new students, give
them confidence and encourage
them.". He also said that knowl-
edge of the campus is essential
so the leader can cope with the
many questions new students ask.
Ivan Parker, Assistant to the
Dean of Men, will work with Rob-
ert Garfield, Assistant to the Di-
rector of Registration and Rec-
ords, on the Orientation week pro-
grams.
Students who fill out applica-
tions for this position will be'in-
terviewed and asked to answer
questions which the interviewing
committee thinks leaders should
know. They will be rated accord-
ingly.
Leaders of men's and women's
groups will plan inter-group mix-
ers to help new students meet each
other.

DON'T CLUTCH--Amidst the magazines, coke bottles, novels,
typewriter, blaring radio and smoking equipment, Bobbie Evans,
'57, might have the right book to study for final exams.

Orientation Program
Planned for Freshmen


By ELAINE EDMONDS
Present day 'Portias' in the Uni-
versity law school find conditions
today far different from those
which confronted the first women
students 85 years ago.
In 1870 when Harriett Ada Pat-
ton and Sarah Killgore Wertman
enrolled as the first coeds in law
school they found themselves in
the same position as the other 33
women then attending the Uni-
versity. At that time women were
T treated with indifferent courtesy,
college journalism had its fling at
them and many boarding places
were not open to the female stu-
dents.
At present 20 of the 710 stu-
dents in law school are, women.
During the college year 1950-51
female enrollment in the law
,school reached an all time high
of 41.
Men and women are admitted to
law school on the same basis. Un-
dergraduate marks and standings
in law school admission tests are
the factors which determine if a
student will be accepted or not.
In 1927 while speaking before a
class of legal students Dean Bates,
then Dean of law school, is quoted
as saying that for a woman, the
career of a lawyer is a hard one,
because many legal firms feel that
y a pretty young lawyer will be a
distraction.
Although some male lawyers may
be inclined to be rather skeptical
of their female counterparts at
first, they soon discovered that
the women are equally serious and
intent in their pursuit of legal
knowledge.
The male lawyers indicate their
whole-hearted approval of the wo-
men barristers. Roger Oetting says,
"They're really great; they're bril-
liant and very nice to have
around!" Pete Vestevich com-
m nts, "On the average the wo-
men seem to be better prepared

and sharper than the men in the
class."
One of the first questions asked
of the woman law student is usu-
ally "What made you decide to
enter law school?" Although each
has a different answer they are
basically alike. The coed lawyers
are interested in the field of law
and the possibilities which legal
training offers.
Many of the women students
envy the men living in the law-
yer's club because they are liter-
ally surrounded by an atmosphere
of "the law." Coeds miss the op-
portunities for after-class dis-
cussions and the comparing of in-
terpretations and analyses which
the men in the lawyer's club en-
joy.

Stay up all night studying, get
no sleep, take the exam, and then
you can poo out- when you finish."
This adept gentleman grimned at
his reporter's amazed expression.
"Really," he concluded, "if one
breaks up his cramming with
sleep, there will be little retention
of newly-learned facts . .."
On to someone a bit less radical.
Jackie Davie, '55, suggests that
freshmen take their last minute
studying in stride and get eight
hours of sleep the night before.
Miss Davie stressed eating a good
breakfast the morning of the
exam. "Never go to The P-Bell the
night before," she added with a
knowing smile.f
Ir the Exam
Upperclassmen agreed on what
exam-takers should do once in-
side the exam room. They said
that the student should have all
the necessary equipment - pens,
erasers and pencils. If essay ex-
ams, one should read all questions
before making a choice.
The students should jot down
ideas as he thinks of them, and he
should make an outline before
writing the final answer. He
shouldn't waste toodmuch time on
one problem, daydream or think
about the outcome of the exam.
Instead, keeping busy, writing leg-
ibly and relaxing should bring the'
desired results.
Gulantics
Final tryouts for Gulantics
will be held from 1 to 5 p.m.
Saturday in Room 3S of the
Union.
Students may contact Debbie
Shavelson, NO 2-3119, for try-
out appointments.

TEN MOST ADMIRED WOMEN:

Who would you pick as "the ten
most admired women in the

For the eighth time, the Am-
erican public picked Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt as the woman they most

any other woman celebrity. Uni-
versity women rated her second

OBVIOUSLY, THE TITLE of the above Droodle is: 47
insectology students enjoying better-tasting Luckies
while studying 3 fireflies. All kinds of students are
bugs about Luckies. Matter of fact, college smokers
prefer Luckies to all other brands-and by a wide
margin-according to the latest and greatest of all
college surveys. Once again, the No. 1 reason: Luckies
taste better. They taste better, first of all, because
Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco
is toasted to taste better. "'It's Toasted"-the famous
Lucky Strike process-tones up Luckies' light, good-
tasting tobacco to make it taste even better .
cleaner, fresher, smoother. So, enjoy the better-tasting
cigarette ... Lucky Strike.
