Insatiables: not bad
bets to take crown
Most entering freshmen should
know by now they must file the
Intent to Study Law Form. This is
filed with the State Board of Law
Examiners and must be done
within 120 days of entering law
school, according to the instruc-
tions on the form.
But what happens if your form
is postmarked on the 125th day
after beginning law school; or if
you file a month or more late?
Well, the consequences bear a
reasonable relationship to the
degree of lateness. But by and
large, one will not be precluded
from taking the bar unless the
form is filed within 270 days of
the bar exam you plan to take.
The form aprises the Board of
your presence in law school, and
by degrees, of your intent to
take the bar exam at some point
down the road.
According to Sylvia Cantu, an
investigator for the Board in the
Character and Fitness Depart-
ment, one can be kept from taking
the bar if the form is substantially
late.
"We have a deadline to meet.
So, if our investigation is not
complete by the time the student
applies for the exam, he might
not be able to sit for the bar,"
Cantu claimed.
Marylin Cook, the head of the
Character and Fitness Depart-
ment, noted that if the form is not
filed within the first 120 days of
beginning law school, the student
must provide the Board with an
excuse for not having done so.
"Until the form is filed, no
background information is done
on the student," Cook said. She
claimed that tardiness is quite a
problem. "Some students take six
months or more just to get their
birth certificates."
Cook said the Board used to
impose a monetary penalty for a
late filing. But this was only done
if the form was filed a year or
more late. This was a $25 per year
penalty, but the Board stopped
that procedure several years
back.
Although the Board of Examin-
ers has become somewhat lenient
on late filings, Cook emphasized:
"there is absolutely no exception
to the 270-day requirement."
In short, if the form is not filed
at least 270 days prior to the exam
date, you will not be able to sit for
the bar.

As playoffs for the 1981 brag-
ging rights of the STCL FOOT-
BALL CROWN draw near,
rumors around the Tip Top
Lounge make the Insatiables 5-2
favorites. Displaying a blend of
offensive excellence in their re-
ceiver corps of Al Wallen and
Mark McGarry in conjunction
with a balanced ground game in
Doug Juengling and Rick Green-
leaf, the Insatiables rolled over
opponents this season sporting a
5-0 record. Although hampered
recently with injuries, their pass-
ing atack and "navigation street"
defense is so ominous that the
smart money is riding here.
However, the Insatiables may
find their most formidable oppon-
ents in the runner-ups of the
Western Division — the Mud-
flaps. Always rough perennial
contenders, the Mudflaps call
upon an experienced rush and
sticky fingered defensive backs to
hold their opponents to an
average 8 points per game. Noe
Robles anchors the Mudflaps'
offensive attack with the best
throwing arm in the league and
receivers Greg Cokinos, Dave
Wallace and Mike Anderson
always find a way of getting open.
Although the Insatiables handed
them a sound thrashing in their
pre-playoff meeting, word has it
the Mudflaps are hungry and
revising their game plan for the
expected Super Sunday clash.
Another contender for the
crown will be the TADs, under
the direction of "Rocket" Rosen
and Steve Singer. TADs finished
this season leading the controver-
sial Eastern Division with a 4-1
record. Known for their short
yardage, ball controll offense, the
TADs lack a consistent long ball
threat. (Their defense is good;
however not good enough to
survive the explosive game plan
of their Western Division counter-
parts.)
Then there's Shelby's Super-
stars and like their namesake
every power structure is subject
to being torn down. After reign-
ing supreme for the past two
years, it looks like the T-shirts
aren't the only things fading.
(This is not to say that Shelby's is
in anyway the weak sisters of the
playoff—there's just a few teams
that could possibly run these old
men into the grit at Grady.)
Bubba's Burners, alias Causa
Mortis, made a strong showing in
the powerhouse division but
seems to suffer from a lack of
organization. The Burners have
the strongest rush of any of the
finalists but find themselves
vulnerable in the deep secondary.
The Burners, like Shelby's, have
a chance to make it to the finals
but they'll have to show a
stronger offense and tighten their
coverage downfield.
The cellar either belongs to the
Illegal Briefs or the Revised
Edition. The decision on who goes
to the playoffs hinges on the
replay of the protested match
between the Revised Edition and
Bailey's Boys. Bailey's looms as
the potential spoilers in the
contested wild card berth. No
matter what, both Illegal Briefs
and the Revised Edition will join
Dandy Don singing "Turn Out
the Lights" early on Sunday
afternoon the way things look
now. Both teams sport well
rounded atheletes but lack an
essential element — a coordin-
ated offense.
