The duo of Jim Bennett
and Larry Mayo won the
annual W. Clark
Chamberlain Client
Counseling Competition,
held September 10-13.
Thirty-five teams
participated in the annual
competition. The event was
sponsored by the Board of
Advocates and was organized
by committee chairperson
Gia Surla and BOA officer-
in-charge Teresa
Arguindegui.
"The teams were all very
professional." Arguindegui
said. "The judges were
impressed with our
advocates, which makes the
Board of Advocates a
success. Because of the
teams' cooperation and the
huge commitment of my
chairperson the competition
was very much a success."
The second- and third-year
student participants were
given scenarios and were
asked to question and
counsel "clients." The teams
were judged on whether they
asked pertinent questions
and made proper decisions
when eliciting the
information.
Doug Bassani and Betsy
Crowe took second place and
David Person and Bruce
Kaye finished third.
Teams that advanced to
the semi-finals were Neal
Bonavita and Chris Elliott,
Sean Breene and Sloane
Underwood, Raymond
Daniel and Elizabeth
Woodward, David Falk and
Michelle Smith, Marjorie
Hancock and Bonnie
Marsteller, and John Kim
and Bain Pearson.
Founders' Day focuses on progress at South Texas
By Jerry Clark
Founders' Day, the annual
celebration of the founding
of South Texas College of
Law, will kick off October 16
in an expanded format from
past years.
This year the event will
feature a fellow dinner, tours
and open house of the newly
opened disability clinic as
well as floors six, seven and
eight at the law school, and
a benefit jazz concert among
other things. In the past the
event usually consisted of
only a fellowship lunch or
dinner.
Diana Willeke, former
Director of Communications,
said the format was
expanded because there are
many significant things at
South Texas College of Law
that need to be highlighted
and brought to the public
attention.
"Basically, there are a lot
of things to celebrate. The
disability clinic is finished
and the offices are finished
to name a few things,"
Willeke said. "This event is
significant because it shows
the progress that we have
made."
Founders' Day officially
gets under way with a .
SBA hosts Halloween party
at Houston Club October 27
The Student Bar Association Halloween Party will be
held in the Houston Club on Saturday, Oct. 27. More
details will be available from the SBA at a later date.
Fellows Dinner on Tuesday,
October 16 at 7 pm in the
Main Ballroom in the
Wyndham Warwick Hotel.
On Wednesday, October 17
there will be a disability
clinic open house and tours
of the Social Security
Disability Clinic, which is
sponsored by South Texas
College of Law. The open
house and tours will be held
from 10 am to 5 pm in the
clinic, which is located on
San Jacinto Street about
three blocks south of the law
school.
In addition, there will be a
luncheon/meeting of the
Annual Fund National
Leadership Committee,
which will meet to discuss
and plan the 1990-91 annual
fund. Later in the
afternoon, an open house
and tours of floors six, seven
and eight of the law school
will be held from 2 to 5 pm.
Refreshments will be served
in the conference room,
faculty library and faculty
lounge on floors six and
seven.
At 6 pm the Board of
Visitors will meet in Room
129T of the law school,
followed by Founders' Day
Dinner at the Four Seasons
Hotel. The dinner, which is
held to recognize new and
old Alumni Association
officers and directors and
present awards to honored
guests, will begin at 6 pm
with cocktails and dinner at
7 pm.
Finally, the event will
culminate in a benefit jazz
concert for the Joscelyn
Wilder Memorial Scholarship
Fund. The concert, which is
sponsored by the Black Law
Students' Association, will
feature two bands beginning
at 9 pm in the Joe Green
Auditorium.
"Our number one goal is
to spread the community
efforts of South Texas
College of Law," Willeke
said. "Secondly, it is to
make everyone aware of the
great things that are going
on. They have been an
integral part of it."
Alice Morris, Director of
Annual Giving for the
Institutional Advancement
Office, said that this year's
event is important for
another reason; it gives
students a chance to become
involved.
"South Texas College of
Law will be with students for
the rest of their lives,"
Morris said. "I'm sure they
will want to be proud and to
know more about what is
going on."
In addition, Morris said
this year she hopes to get
more of a response from the
community and alumni by
offering more functions at
more times. In the past, she
said, many attorneys could
not make the lunch or
dinner because of their busy
schedules.
"This is an informative
occasion for the community
to find out what South Texas
College of Law is all about,"
Morris said. "We have
basically turned from a law
school to a law center."
"If we make 10 people
aware of us and they benefit
for this then we have done
something."
Concert benefits Wilder scholarship
By Julie Templin
A jazz concert benefiting
the Joscelyn Wilder
Memorial Scholarship will be
held on Founders' Day,
October 17, at 9 pm in the
Joe Green Auditorium.
The two groups playing at
the concert will be Sebastian
Whitaker and the Creators, a
jazz band, and Wendy
Slaton, a rhythm and blues
artist. Tickets for the
concert will be $15 for non-
students and under $10 for
students. The exact price
has not been decided.
Dan Wise, Vice President
of Institutional Advancement,
said the proceeds will go to
the Black Law Students'
Association in support of the
scholarship.
The scholarship has been
established in the name of
Joscelyn Yvette Wilder, a
second year student who was
killed in an automobile
accident on July 24.
Veronicas Jacobs and the
BLSA set up the scholarship
to remember Joscelyn and to
help other students. Jacobs,
a close friend and classmate
of Joscelyn's, said she wanted
to do something in Joscelyn's
Ginny Myers, Record
Manager at the Institutional
Advancement Office, said the
current total in the fund is
$1305. The donations have
ranged from $10 to $500,
with most between $25 and
$50. The majority of the
contributors have been
faculty and staff members,
Myers said.
Diana Willeke, former
Director of Communications,
said the specifics of the
scholarship have not been
established.
The Institutional
Advancement Office is
advising the family and the
BLSA of donations and of
the scholarship's current
status.
Donations to the fund can
be made to the library,
where Joscelyn was a work-
study student, or in the
Institutional
Office, Room 303T.
