FRITZ BURNS BUILDING DEDICATED More than 400 guests and a host

of community dignitaries including Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley and Archbishop of the Los Angeles Diocese Cardinal Timothy Manning, congregated at dedication ceremo­nies, January 30, to praise and inau­gurate the Fritz B. Burns Building at Loyola Law School.

The building dedication signified the finishing of Phase I of the Greater Loyola Law School Devel­opment Program.

Highlights of the ceremony in­cluded the unveiling of a portrait of the late Associate Dean Richard A. Vachon, S.J. and the cutting of the three-foot cake which pictured a replica of the Burns Building.

Master of Ceremonies Charles R. Redmond '75, Law School Board of Visitors chairman, held the ceremo­ny together with humorous com­mentary about Loyola.

Following an invocation by Rabbi Alfred Wolf, D. D. of the Wilshire Boulevard Temple, Dean Gerald Rosen took the platform and summed-up the history of events that led to the building of the new

Alarcon Honored with More Medallion

"The time has come to take the selection and retention of judges out of politics," said Hon. Arthur Alarcon, United States Court of Ap­peals, Ninth Circuit, at the Biltmore Hotel on March 28.

Alarcon delivered the address to an audience attending a luncheon in his honor where he received the 1982 St. Thomas More Medallion from the School's Law Honor Socie-ty.

"A number of judges on our Cali­fornia Trial and Appellate Courts are under savage attack in state Bars, radio talk shows, newspaper editorials, and even at partisan po­litical conventions," he said.

"Our present system of judicial selection is political. Most judges are appointed by the governor. The natural consequence of a political appointment by an elected official is political attack on his appointees particularly when the governor comes up for re-election or has heightened political expectations," Alarcon continued.

Burns center. Rosen, humbly avoiding his tenure as dean, praised former Dean J. Rex Dibble (1959- 1966) for moving the Law School from its 31-year site on Grand Avenue to the Ninth Street location. Rosen credited Fritz Burns for the Ninth Street building whom, he said, "made it (the building) pos­sible through a foundation gift."

The present dean also spoke of Fred Lower, former dean and now constitutional law professor, who retained Frank 0. Gehry as architect for the Burns Building. Gehry, lauded for his innovative use of space and design , was present at the ceremony and took bows for the Burns Building completion.

Fritz Burns, a longtime benefactor of the University, was the owner of the Dickens and Gilespie Real Estate Company in 1925 and a member of the Loyola Marymount University Board of Regents from 1953 to 1968. He was responsible for buying the land for the Ninth Street building from the Catholic Archdiocese and selling the Grand Avenue property, according to Rev. Donald P.

Merrifield, S.J ., university presi­dent.

Speaking on behalf of the Burns Foundation, Joseph E. Rawlinson '56, friend of Fritz Burns and trustee of his estate, selected vignettes from his friend's life and spoke of Burns as a "man of great charity in his heart. " Rawlinson surprised the au­dience and revealed an even more sensitive side of Fritz Burns by reading poetry that the d eveloper had written on life and love.

Fritz Burns is credited with build­ing the San Fernando Industrial Park in Glendale and with devel­oping the communities of Panorama City and Toluca Lake and for his practical prefabrication methods of housing in the post-war era. He died in 1979.

Los Angeles Mayor Torn Bradley was next to speak, praising Loyola for its "quality" and noting the School' s presence in Los Angeles for making "the city richer and bet­ter."

"The only surprise is that we have had so few challenges to our judges on the grounds that they are the beneficiaries of political patron­age.

Graduation Exercises Set For June 6

The 61rst Law School Commence­ment Exercises for 350 graduating students will be held June 6 on the Loyola Maryrnount University cam­pus in Westchester. The schedule for the day includes an 11 a.m. Bac­calaureate Mass in the Sacred Heart Chapel, brunch at 12 noon in the T~rrace Room, graduation exercises at 2 p.m. and a 4 p .m. champagne reception for graduates and their guests on the LMU Terrace.

The Changing Face of Corporate Law

"Twenty years ago, conventional wisdom dictated that reputable, reli­able general counsel was always found in private practice," James Wallace, associate general counsel for Times Mirror, told Loyola stu­dents in February.

"Now," he said, ''tha t wisdom has changed and the corporate law function is thought to be the re­sponsibility of employees that are inside the company with a greater knowledge of that company's func­tion. "

Wallace visited the Law School as a guest of the Business Law and Lit­igation Society, advising students about the role of the corporate law­yer. He is a University of Tennessee law graduate who has been working for Times Mirror for the past 12 years.

Wallace and 14 other lawyers in the company's legal department ad­vise the Los Angeles Times newspa­pers and the 2.1 billion dollar com­pany's other holdings on all legal matters. He personally practices every field of law, he said, but spe­cifically deals with corporate and se­curities law.

NEWS ____________________________________ _

FROM THE DEAN I read with great interest in the last

issue of the Loyola Lawyer the report on Professor Benson's efforts to bring " plain language" into legal writing ("Loyola Prof Loathes Legalese") . His crusade enlists my enthusiastic support, but I feel compelled to comment that in one form or another, this crusade has been going on for a long time.

There was a time, as I understand it, when draftsmen were customarily paid by the word and economic incentives therefore induced prolixity. Conven­tional phraseology developed and was tested in court, and the profession, with

knowledge of the judicial gloss, was thereafter reluctant to experiment with change.

Along came the form books, and preserved all this old verbiage and cited the interpretative opinions, and many of us who were in practice were willing to copy the old conventional language because we had a pretty good idea what it meant. We were not at all enthusiastic about any attempt to clarify that language. Clarification would simply open the door to new ambiguities, new litigation, new interpretations, and new rulings.

Nevertheless, many of us sought to bring simplicity into our language. Par­ticularly in Philadelphia, lawyers undertook to write wills and trusts so clearly and so simply that their documents used no punctuation marks other than periods. Elsewhere, in the years shortly after World War II, many lawyers abandoned the old form for a formal contract, scrapped "Whereas" clauses and references to "Parties of the First Part, " and tried to write formal contracts in simple English. (Once I started doing that, I was at first amused and later pleased when clients would tell me that I hadn't written like a lawyer because they understood everything I'd said .)

The years pass and the law reviews have published one article after another complaining that lawyers don't know how to write plain English. The sad truth is that many of us don't. The reason we don't, I suppose, is that we' re not taught how. We' re taught grammar and spelling, punctuation, and how to diagram a sentence. We' re taught how to avoid splitting infinitives and dangling participles. But, where are we taught how to write simple declara­tive sentences?

Then there's another problem. Ours is a complex world, and simple lan­guage is therefore often ambiguous or vague. Double meanings are an enter­tainment at the dinner table, but in legal writing they breed litigation. Sim­plicity often fails to accomplish a desired result. But, simplicity does not mean over-simplification. One must still cover all the bases.

In the last five years, the movement toward the use of understandable lan­guage in documents prepared by lawyers has gained ever-increasing momen­tum. Recent developments are traced in Karlin, Readability Statutes- A Survey and a Proposed Model, 28 Kansas Law Review 531 (1980) . One way or another, so­ciety is nudging its lawyers away from linguistic verbosity and confusion. Perhaps the day will eventually come when even the Treasurer Regulations under the Internal Revenue code will be written in comprehensible English. Professor Benson, I wish you success.

Trial Advocacy Team Chosen For Nationals

Loyola's National Trial Advocacy team of Keith Meyers and Gail Smason captured honors at the Re­gional level in San Diego in March and continued on to the Nationals in Houston later that month. (Re­sults were not available at press time).

Meyers and Smason were chosen for the Nationals after competing against 16 other California law school teams including McGeorge, University of San Francisco, Univer­sity of San Diego and University of California at Davis. The final round was between Western State and Loyola, placing first and second re­spectively, which determined the Law School's eligibility for the Na­tionals.

The case this year involved a complicated will contest between a brother and a sister. The Loyola team had to alternate representing the plaintiff and defendant during

the three-day competition. Argu­ments were three-to-four hours in length on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. "It was pretty draining," Meyers commented.

This is the second year that Loyola's team has qualified for the Nationals.

Jessup Team Competes In Regionals

The Jessup International Moot Court team competed in the Pacific Regionals at Western State Universi­ty College of Law in Fullerton, late March, and defeated four California law school teams to go on to the Finals in Washington, D.C.

The team practiced diligently for months, culminating in a presenta­tion night on March 17. Judging the presentation were former Loyola na­tional Jessup representatives Robert Lampl '78, David Gilmore, '78, and Gordon Zuiderweg '78.

Team members Chris tine Thomas, Brian Krantz, Douglas Kunin, Selma Mann and Marisa Melpezzi com­peted against Southwestern, West­ern State, University of Southern California, and University of San Francisco on a human rights issue which dealt specifically with refu­gees, revolutions, self-determination in developing countries and ques­tions of reparations in international law.

Each team was required to write two briefs and students were judged on the basis of the written memorial and the oral presentation.

ASKING FOR ANSWERS: JOB COUNSELING by Joan Profant, Director of Placement

Do you remember_ facin9 the blank white page of good bond and wondering how to do a professiOnal JOb of preparing your first work product - your re­sume?

To current s~d_ents_ realiz_ing that the job market evaluates paper credentials very ~arefully, It ~s s~ an _rmport~t _concern. They ask what is a "good" re­s~e. The followmg IS a bnef descnption of how we guide our current students Wlth answers to that question: Th~re are three ~ajo~ functions of the Placement operation at the Law School.

The frrst most obVl~us IS the generating and identifying of jobs for clerks and at­~omeys s_o our candi~ate? ~ay_ go out t~ compete for those positions. The second lS gat~enng ~d ~amt~g information about career specialities, government deadlines, directones, fum descriptions, and clerk assessment forms to name but a few.

It is ti:e. third responsibility that I want to discuss and this is the counseling ~d adVIsmg program. Th7 s_ervices provided have been greatly expanded dur­mg the last year. Our statistics about_ usage of the various components of the Placeme~t Program ~ecently collected from new grads indicate that advice and counsel Is our most higt:Jy v_alued service and the most widely used by students.

E_n:tploymen~ coun~elin9 IS approached _by offer:mg o~ busy students oppor­~ti~s to obtam adVIce Vla group counseling sesswns, m a written format, or in mdiVIdual co~versations. Some students use all three methods in developing job search strategies.

Let's !?o back to the task most students ask for - our guiddnce for fesume preparati~n. The C_enter offers a weekly 30-minute presentation about the issues mvolved m prepanng a legal resume with written hand-out materials including samples of a cove~ letter ~d of resum~s. We have a Sample Book with a variety of examples and information about pnnters and paper stock in the resource li­brary. If a _student prefers to take home and read the advice on resumes, he or she may piCk up ~7 new Pla_cem~nt Handbook. This 50-page booklet also discusses employment statistics, salaries, JOb satisfaction, and interview techniques writ­ten and prepared especially for our Loyola Law School students.

If our hypothetical student would prefer to sit down with a counselor and have a rough draft of the resume and the cover letter critiqued, our new Assist­ant to the ~ector, Maria J?ickman, is available without an appointment. Two counselors gwe us substantially more interaction with students and now that we are in the new building ensures that the Center is really a viable and accessible resource to students and new graduates. T~e addition ~f another a~~or has allowed me time to speak to most of the

se~ti.ons of the frrst ~eru: wnting classes, the Civil Procedure Workshops. The Clinical Professors teaching these courses have allowed a brief presentation on the s~rvices of the Place~ent Center and a report on the employment market. Most rmportant, we proVIded_ a forum for discussion about first year concerns in general; such as grades, clerking, Law Review and all the potent matters people mutter about in Gil's Coffee Shop.

FEATURES ________________________________ _ Financial Aid Forecast:

No Bucks on the Horizon by Adrienne Morea

Michael Flanagan walked into the office after just returning from a two-day conference on the status of financial aid and the look on his face spelled disaster.

"Money's going to get tight," he said. And from the rest of the con­versation, one could surmise that the situation will only be getting tighter and no solutions are in sight.

But, according to Flanagan, solu­tions or no solutions, there may well be changes in the powers of lenders under the Guaranteed Stu­dent Loan Program before the cur­rent population of law students graduates, if Reagan succeeds in reducing federal aid to higher edu­cation.

More specifically, Flanagan, who has been working in the field of higher education financial aid for the past seven years, talked about Loyola and the effect the various proposed solutions could have on its students.

"The Reagan administration wants to get totally out of the business of financing higher education. II

The major thrust in change ap­pears to involve the Guaranteed Student Loan Program (GSLP) in which more than 80% of Loyola stu­dents participate. The GSLP, which began in the 1960's, grew to a large program in the 70's and incurred problems when the government re­moved all of its need eligibility re­quirements in November 1978. Prior to that, students were not eligible if their adjusted gross income was $20,000 or more and they could not qualify by means of a special needs test.

This past October, eligibility re­quirements were partially reinstated with a $30,000 adjusted gross in­come eligibility cutoff line. This meant that students from families earning $30,000 or less automatically qualified for the full loan amount. Students from families which earned more than $30,000 a year were still eligible if they fit certain need-related variables. More than $5 million dollars in loans were se­cured from private lenders during the 1981-82 academic year by Loyola students participating in the GSLP.

Because the need requirements were lifted from 1978 to 1981 and educational costs skyrocketed, the volume of program participants zoomed from 1.1 million to 3.7 mil­lion during those years. Nation­wide, new loans increased 52% in fiscal 1981 -from 2.3 billion to 3.5 billion- according to the Education Department's preliminary fiscal 1981 GSLP report. The average loan size grew from $2,091 to $2,196.

Once the word was out that GSL eligibility requirements were going to be tightened, the demand for the loans became even greater. "A small number of students not really in need of financial aid decided to bor­row from the government because of the low 9% interest rate," said Flanagan. "The student grapevine contained stories and statements by students who claimed the intention to borrow the maximum and re­invest the money into something that yielded a higher dividend.

"It wasn't a big secret that some students were doing this. Every­body had heard the stories. The

vast majority of students who needed the loans saw the folly that Congress had wrought," he said.

Under the latest change in need requirements which took effect in October 1981, students must show need to secure a loan if their family adjusted gross income exceeds $30,000. In some cases, a student may come from a family with a $30,000 income, but still not receive any financial support from the fami­ly. Those students must go through the process of "emancipation," a status made possible through a number of governmental guidelines. One proves emancipation by show­ing that he or she lived less than six weeks in one year with their par­ents, did not receive more than $750 in a year from the parents, and was not claimed as a tax deduction for the preceding calendar year and the year in which aid is sought.

At the Western Regional Meeting of the College Board, a resolution was initiated by the financial aid ad­ministrators and passed to request that the federal government make the test for emancipation more stringent to ensure that all students claiming to be independent were in­deed self-supporting. If adopted by the College Board, and accepted by the Federal Government, the evi­dence of financial independence will be investigated for three years pre­ceding the year of an application.

Students at Loyola will continue to receive the National Direct Stu­dent Loans (NDSL) and College Work Study (CWS) assistance with relatively little hassle for the coming year, but these programs may face the budget ax for fiscal year 1983.

ness of financing higher education," said Flanagan. "The Administration would like the states to provide for education as part of the new feder­alism trend and the slack to be pick­ed up by private philanthropy. The federal government is proposing cutting back on all student aid pro­grams in this year's budget, because education, it believes, is not a feder­al responsibility.

"But, whether or not the Admin­istration believes that education is a state or federal responsibility, the significant fact is that Congress cre­ated the problem of high budget fig­ures for the Guaranteed Student Loan Program. The main idea was to open the GSL program to middle income students and to assure that any student who had the ability to gain from a post-secondary educa­tion would not be deprived from obtaining it. High interest rates, the result of the Administration's mone­tary policy, has inadvertently added great cost to the GSL program since the special allowance paid to lend­ers over and above the 7% and 9% interest rates to make such loans marginally profitable is tied to the prime interest rate.

"The policy itself was well thought-out, but Congress didn't build in the necessary controls to limit the amount of money that was going out and they realized too late that they didn't have the ability to handle the large increase in stu­dents applying for the funds," Flanagan continued.

The options that Reagan' s admin­istration have come up with will not be thrilling to anyone, according to Flanagan. Proposals to date go

Students wrote letters to Congress urging them to reconsider the proposed budget cuts in higher education.

The NDSL Program always retained a need requirement and because of annual congressional review, never grew to the size of the GSLP. The administration is proposing zero funding for 1983-1984. The fund though, is revolving, meaning stu­dents pay back their loans and the money repaid is used for further loans. So whatever Congress does to the program in 1983- 84, the Law School will have available funds re­paid by graduated students. The NDSL interest rate, however, has changed. At one time, students could secure loans for 3%. They are now levied a 5% interest rate.

College Work Study accounts for a significant yet relatively small portion of Loyola student aid. Fifty students participate in this program which entails a federal contribution of $95,000 and a 20% contribution of the Law School's money. The Reagan administration proposes a $44 million dollar reduction in this program in 1982-1983 and $400 million funding for 1983- 1984.

"The Reagan administration wants to get totally out of the busi-

something like this: 1.) The govern­ment lops off a flat 10% of the GSL before the student ever sees it. This could mean as much as $2,500 if a student were to reach the aggregate loan limit ($25,000) with a maximum interest rate (9 %). Students would, in effect, subsidize their own loans. 2.) Put all GSLP recipients under a need requirements test. Most stu­dents would still receive the maxi­mum loan, especially if they attend a private professional school such as Loyola.

A third proposal is to do away with the GSL altogether for gradu­ate and professional students and supplant it with the Auxiliary Loans to Assist Students (ALAS) Program. This new program, in which 24 states are now participating, carries a higher interest rate (14% as com­pared to 9% ), but is open to parents and graduate students regardless of income. The borrower however, begins repayment 60 days after the loan is secured. The current $3000 a year maximum loan is not suffi­cient to cover private graduate and professional school tuition.

To illustrate how this type of loan would be administered, take a stu­dent (receiving the maximum) who has a $36,000 debt. If that student were to pay every month as stipu­lated by the ALAS program, he or she would be paying $420 a month in interest alone.

A fourth, but highly unlikely so­lution, would be negotiable loans. This would entail a student securing a 7% or 9% loan while attending school and with the interest subsidy continuing two years after the bor­rower graduates. After that time, a student would have to renegotiate with the lender for the interest rate. The lender could levy interest equaling that of the prime rate, should the lender desire. Some stu­dents who would renegotiate a loan and receive exhorbitant interests, might be forced to request time ex­tensions to repay if their disposable income could not absorb higher payments.

"By removing the monetary means, only the rich will be able to afford school. II

"What will probably happen," says Flanagan," is that we will live with a needs test requirement, but the possible scenarios could be de­vastating." For instance, if loan re­quirements are made so tough that students can no longer obtain them, not only will law school dreams be shattered for prospective students, but many students already at­tending may be forced to drop out. Those that drop out will have to settle for other than their desired lawyer's position and the money that they've borrowed on the prem­ise that they would someday be lawyers and in the financial position to pay back their loans, may not repay on schedule.

Talking frankly about education, Flanagan said, "Investment in edu­cation is one of the country's best investments. More than 30% of the jobs in this country are directly re­lated to education ." Recognition of the value of investment in human capital has, over the last several decades, been translated into a fed­eral monetary commitment to en­sure access to and choice in se­lecting a post-secondary institution.

"By removing the monetary means, only the rich will be able to afford schooL We will be reneging on our commitment to provide ac­cess to higher education and there­fore social mobility to our people."

In the meantime, while govern­ment is exploring their new propos­als and the Reagan budget is still up in the air, students are encouraged to contact their Congressman to voice their concerns, oppositions, and suggestions. Students are not sure whether their aid will be cut­off in April, whether they'll receive aid for the next year, whether they'll be hit with an unreasonable interest rate, or whether or not it even pays to go to law schooL

"Nothing's really rational about any of this," Flanagan said, "We're (higher education) just one part of this big budget picture. Desired re­ductions in the budget dictate poli­cy. Obviously, if people can' t afford to go to undergraduate school, they'll never make it to professional schooL And if they can't meet their career goals, personal incentive in our country is going to go down­very fast."

DEVELOPMENT ____________________________ __ Life Insurance: A Unique Way of Making the Big Gift by Robert Cooney Director of Development

Gifts of life insurance offer an opportunity to make a substantial contri­bution that an alumnus might otherwise be unable to make.

Today, Loyola Law School faces a financial challenge every bit as great as that found when the School began. The question now is not on e of sup­porting a dream in its infancy but one of sustaining it in a time of unprece­dented stress. It is a m atter of perpetuating, in an age of economic uncer­tainty, the p ower to seize an opportunity w hen it arises.

The Greater Loyola Law School Development Program is an opportunity for creative growth and development. The $8 million d ollar program offers Campus expansion and the beginning of an endowmen t program. Phase I, the Burns Academic Center is completed. Hopefully, this summer, Phase II, - con stru ction of a Moot Court, two free s tanding classrooms, and a chapel- will begin.

Often the methods of giving offered an alumnus describe substantial tax benefits to the don or while providing Loyola Law School w ith resources it needs. The most rewarding dividend of a gift to Loyola Law School is not fiscal. It is the knowledge that, by caring, the donor joins others in helping keep alive the opportunity for private, legal education.

Most people do not think of life insurance as a means of making a gift to Loyola Law School or any other charitable institution. But, once the funda­mental purpose of insurance has been achieved - adequate family and es­tate planning- it should be con sidered. As a gift device, life insurance is: flexible, guaranteed, confid ential, workable into an annual or lifetime budget, tax deductible for income and/or estate taxes and the only method of making a much larger gift than ever imagined .

Life insurance gifts are relatively easy to make. The following are some of the methods:

• A p olicy can be purchased and Loyola Law School may be named as the beneficiary and/or owner. Or the benefits may be divided e.g. 50% to the family, 50% to Loyola Law Sch ool.

• A policy already own ed may be turned over to the School as owner or beneficiary.

• Loyola Law School may be named as a secondary beneficiary. This way, the School will receive the insurance if the primary ben eficiary can not.

• A gift may be provided and income insured for a survivor. Another thought is to use the dividends to make a gift . If dividends

from a p olicy are assigned to Loyola Law Sch ool, all such dividends are fully deductible as charitable contribution s. This method continues insur­ance protection, retains control of the policy, and qualifies as a gift.

Some tax dedu ctions available include all premium payments if a policy is purchased and Loyola Law School is named the irrevocable beneficiary. Or, if an existing policy is turned over, the current replacemen t value can be deducted and if premiums are still due they may, as pointed out previ­ously, be deducted. If it is a paid-up policy, full replacement cost may be taken as a deduction.

Insurance portfolios sh ould be reviewed, and if the purpose for which insurance was originally purchased n o longer exists, consider Loyola Law School. Such instances might include: a family may be raised and doing well and estate needs are reduced after property distribution; the p erson the policy was intended to protect is not living; insurance bought to edu­cate children may not have been used; and policies purchased to protect a business enterprise may no longer be n eeded .

Life insurance policies offer a wide sp ectrum of choice, with ben efits to the donor and Loyola Law School. Policies may be designated for a specific purpose- such as a sch olarship bearing th e donor's name - or wh atever purpose is meaningful to each donor.

day and evening division s respec­tively, addressed the audience as one, noting that the two divisions were, in fact, "really not separate, but 1300 s tudents working together to make Loyola a better place in­stead of just getting through school and taking a Bar exam ."

Father Merrifield described plans for the remaining three phases of the Law School campus and extra­polated on Loyola's future in both the legal and local community.

Blessing the Building and ending the ceremony was Cardinal Timothy Manning, who sprinkled h oly water in the direction of the two rows of dignitaries which were seated be­hind him. Amon g those guests were Deans Stewart, Ramos, and McAlpin-Grant, Rev. Ch arles Casassa, S.J ., university chancellor, Vincent Thorpe '59, president of the Alumni Association, and Dr. James Foxworthy, executive assistant to the president.

With fond remembrance in her voice, Assistant Dean Lola McAlpin­Grant made introductory comments for the unveiling of a three-and-a­half by four foot portrait of Fath er Richard Vachon, who died sudden­ly last June. Sh e remembered him as "a teacher, friend, and Jesuit priest" as well as one of h er former professors w hen she attended the Law School.

The portrait, painted by artist Edward Fazzio, was made possible through donations to th e Rich ard A. Vachon Memorial Scholarship Fund and is now hanging in the waiting area of the Dean's Office. Future plan s for the painting, said Grant, are to complete Phase II of the building program, w hich includes a new chapel, and m emorialize Father Vachon by dedicating the chapel to him and h anging the portrait on its walls.

Th e event ended with Father Merrifield, Mayor Bradley and Car­dinal Manning cutting through the left stairwell of the Burns Building cake as the audience ch eered on.
