Wil-lis, AB'58, JD'60, Chesterton Dean's Message [Note: On November 22nd, we held a formal ground-breaking ceremony on the east side of the Law School, adjacent to (but not in) Dunn Woods. The ceremony commemorated the long-awaited start of construction of the $11 million addition to and renovation of the Bloomington Law Building. The ceremony was attended by some 150 people. I, among others, had the privilege of saying a few words. As my Dean's Message for this issue, I thought I would share with you my thoughts and feelings on this exciting occasion.] President Ryan has aptly described the need for and the importance to all of us of this new addition. Vice-President Gros Louis has equally felicitiously given us an historical perspective and noted that law is not only a learned profession, but also an academic discipline. As a learned profession, with a special if not unique responsibility to the society for providing the structure for individual rights as well as collective organization, we in the Law School must be attentive to the expectations of and the requirements imposed upon us by the courts, the Bar, and the public at large. As an academic discipline, we share the values of the academy—a commitment to exploring the frontiers of human knowledge and understanding, and a dedication to conveying that knowledge, untainted by bias and venality, to the generations of the future. Nowhere can those values be better realized than in the bosom of a great university. We in law do not stand apart from the rest. History, sociology, economics, political science, philosophy, literature, arts—to name only a few—all contribute to what is law, just as law contributes to the ways in which we organize and experience our human- and humane-world. That this symbiotic relationship is appreciated by our State's responsible leaders is attested to by the fact that we are here today. The Trustees of Indiana University, President Ryan, Ken Gros Louis and his predecessor, Bob O'Neil, as Vice Presidents of the Bloomington campus, all made this project a first priority for the University. They were supported in this by the organized Bar, the State Court, and the alumni of the School. The project earned the approval of key leaders in our State government, members of the Higher Education Commission, and the Legislature—not all of whom are lawyers. Our own faculty, staff and students gave unsparingly of their time and effort. The project for which we have all worked and for which we break ground today will serve the Law School as a greatly improved and expanded laboratory for research and study. It will add a major new resource for our academic colleagues all over the campus, and will be appreciated by the hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students who, in addition to law students, use the resources of the law library each semester. And it will permit us better to provide the bar, the bench, and the people of Indiana with the public and professional service they have come to expect from Indiana University and its Law School. You can see why I am truly grateful to each and all of you who have helped in so many ways. I thank you, and I enlist your continued support for President Ryan and the Trustees as we look toward the future, and the completion of this happy project. [Addendum: The concluding sentence about supporting the President and Trustees as we look to the future was a not-too-subtle way of reminding everyone that once again we have to carry the University's message with at best only luke-warm support from the Higher Education Commission. In its submission to the Commission this fall, the University listed completion of the Law School project as its top capital project for the 1983-85 biennium. The Commission discarded the University's priorities, not only in comparison with other higher education institutions, but in terms of the University's own internal projects. On the Commission's list, the Law School Addition, Phase II, emerged 16th out of 18 prioritized higher education projects, in a category called "worthy of consideration." We have $5 million in hand now; we need bonding authorization from the Legislature for the remaining $6 million. Clearly if we are not to be left for the indefinite future with a partially completed project, we must help the Legislature to see that it is the University, through its legally-constituted Trustees, and not the State Higher Education Commission, which is best situated and suited to determine the internal priorities of the University's own academic programs and units. We must also convey effectively to the Legislature the importance to the State of maintaining the high stature of the Bloomington Law School, and how this library addition is a key ingredient in doing that. I look to you, the alumni and friends of the School, to help us. We need your help, as much now as we did before. We are all grateful for your continued support.] Sheldon J. Plager Dean IU School of Law-Bloomington 1982 Bloomington Law Conference The Sixth Annual Bloomington Law Conference, sponsored by the School and the Law Alumni Association was attended by approximately 200 people. The conference began on Friday, September 10, with a seminar in which Professors William D. Popkin, William W. Oliver, and Michael D. Carrico discussed the 1982 changes in the Internal Revenue Code. The seminar was prompted by last year's successful seminar which covered the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. Following a conference luncheon, law alumni, students and members of the University community gathered in Wittenberger Auditorium of the Indiana Memorial Union to hear Harvard Professor Roger Fisher present a speech entitled, "Negotiating With The Iranians or Your Spouse—Is There a Difference?" The day's activities were concluded with an evening reception, the law conference banquet, and an after-banquet social where music was provided for listening and dancing. On Saturday, September 11, the Fifth Annual Race ludicata, featuring both a 10k and 5k race was held on the campus. The traditional student-alumni football game ended with the students losing 20-14. This was the second year in a row in which the alumni team used quick offensive maneuvers to outshine the student team. Those not athletically inclined had the opportunity to tour the new Fine Arts Museum. A pre-game barbecue was held at the IU Memorial Stadium where law alumni feasted on ribs and chicken before watching the Fighting Hoosiers defeat the Northwestern Wildcats in an exciting opening football game. Officers and board members of the Law Alumni Association are already making plans for the Seventh Annual Bloomington Law Conference to be held September 9th and 10th, 1983. Fisher gives tips on successful negotiation In any negotiation process, one of the first things one should do is separate the people issues from the problem, says Roger Fisher, Harvard University law professor and an authority on negotiation. Fisher spoke at the sixth annual Bloomington Law Conference sponsored by the Indiana University Bloomington School of Law Alumni Association. In his talk Fisher listed five principles of negotiation: —Separate relationship questions of communications, understanding, trust, perceptions and people-to-people issues from the merits of the question. —Pay no attention to declared positions. What somebody says they will or will not do may not reflect their real position. To give in and reward their tough positions will make them take even more extreme positions. —Generate multiple options for mutual gain before trying jointly to agree on one. —Insist on using objective standards. Agree on something like precedent, market value or expert opinion. —In any negotiation know the best alternatives. Fisher said these principles can be used whether a person is negotiating with foreign countries, with management, or with a family member. He cautioned against mixing relationships with the problems. He explained: "If your son or daughter demands a $5 increase in the weekly allowance, you can respond by asking for justification for the $5 increase. You can ask if the increase is a correction for inflation; is it a reflection of true expenses? And how does it compare to what other children are getting? You should look for some objective basis for making a decision rather than simply responding to a demand. "Patience and the ability to be a good listener are important traits for a good negotiator. If you are a good listener, you can identify the main concerns of your negotiating partner, and if you show you are listening, then the partner is more apt to listen to your concerns." Fisher, who is the co-author of the best-selling book, Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In, and is Williston Professor of Law at Harvard University, believes more time should be spent teaching principles of negotiation in law schools. "Most law schools spend 90 percent of the time dealing with litigation problems and then the students become lawyers and spend 90 percent of their time negotiating the settlement of cases, "he said. Roger Fisher (left) with Dean Sheldon Plager A mini-seminar on the 1982 changes in the Internal Revenue Code held during the Bloomington Law Conference was directed by Professors William D. Popkin, (from left), Michael D. Carrico, and William W. Oliver. The alumni score the go-ahead touchdown in the annual student/alumni football game. This is the second year in a row the alumni have managed to squeeze out a victory: Alumni 20—Students 14. Approximately 170 alumni and guests attended the law conference banquet held at the Ramada Inn. Recognition was given to several outstanding alumni, faculty members, and those who assisted in making the Sixth Annual Law Conference a success. Race Judicata A world-class runner was the overall winner of the 10k Race Judicata. Rudy Chapa, a second-year student bested over 60 alumni, students, and faculty members. Chapa, who is recovering from a foot injury, was the American record holder for 3000 meters when he was an undergraduate at the University of Oregon. Despite his injury, Chapa's time was 34:20. The faculty winner for the race was Bryant Garth with a time of 37:36. The female student winner was Tannis Fox with a time of 41:22. Morris Erickson was the male alumni winner with a time of 42:49, while Susan Failey was the female alumni winner with a time of 57:32. The 5k overall winner was student Rick Stensrud with a time of 17:26. Assistant Dean Len Fromm was the male faculty winner with a time of 20:49. The male alumni winner was Mark Carmichael with a time of 20:50. The winning time for the female student runner, Karen Ripple was 24:33. Ilene Nagel took faculty women's honors with a time of 27:57. The pre-game barbecue held at Memorial Stadium featured barbecue ribs and chicken. Approximately 150 alumni and guests enjoyed this successful Saturday activity. The Hoo-siers went on to beat Northwestern in the opening game of their home football schedule. 10k overall winner Rudy Chapa Professor, alumnus publish manual Professor J. Alexander Tanford and Richard Quinlan '81 have just published the Indiana Trial Evidence Manual. This compact hard-cover manual was designed for trial attorneys as a convenient and accurate reference for making and meeting objections that arise during trial. Professor Tanford has been teaching evidence and trial practice since he came to Indiana University in 1979. Mr. Quinlan, a 1981 graduate of this school, is now practicing and teaching business law in Connecticut. The two authors began their collaboration while Quinlan was a law student. Tanford said the idea for the manual arose while he was in practice. As a new assistant district attorney, he constantly faced the need to make or respond to objections during trial. Many of these objections could not have been anticipated nor prepared for in advance. He felt the need for a reference source that would not only summarize the rules of evidence, but also would assist him in quickly formulating a legally sufficient objection or response, and provide case and statutory authority to support it. Conventional treatises are not designed for this purpose nor can they be used quickly enough. Rarely will the judge give attorneys enough time to read through a long section of text. The Indiana Trial Evidence Manual was designed for this context. It is divided into short chapters, each covering one rule of evidence. Each chapter is subdivided into sections stating the general rules, providing forms for objections and responses, and reviewing the applications of and exceptions to the general rule. Cases are cited for support and references are made to all applicable state statutes and trial rules. The chapters are arranged alphabetically by the common name given to the rule of evidence, all of which are listed in a summary table of contents that can quickly be scanned if an attorney knows that something is wrong with a witness's testimony but cannot remember the precise rule. Two other features should prove to be very helpful. Two appendices collect and reprint all state statutes and rules of civil and criminal procedure that relate to the admission and exclusion of evidence. If the trial judge wants to see a statute before ruling, it will be available. Also, there is a particularly detailed index that should make finding the appropriate section easy. For example, if an attorney wants to object to the introduction of a copy of a deed, he or she will find the correct section whether the attorney looks up Best Evidence Rule, Copies of Deeds, Deeds, Documents, Original Documents, or Public Records. The manual should be of invaluable assistance to all Indiana practitioners. J. Alexander Tanford Phi Delta Phi to offer drawing Phi Delta Phi—Foster Inn, the "oldest" law fraternity at Indiana University School of Law, is seeking an alumni donor to purchase the original ink drawing by regional artist Phil Thompson (featured on our cover). The fraternity is seeking an alumnus to donate $375 to cover the cost of the original, which would be framed and placed in the new law building addition. A plaque will be placed on the picture to recognize the alumni donor. Copies of the drawing are also being offered by Phi Delta Phi. They cost $7.50 each and measure 11" x 14". Copies can be ordered by contacting Phi Delta Phi, School of Law, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47405. Your contribution is, of course, tax deductible and goes to support Phi Delta Phi's service-oriented projects. The school's chapter of Phi Delta Phi has sponsored a number of programs and projects in support of the school's activities. Its latest project is to sponsor a symposium on professionalism and ethics in the practice of law. The symposium has received grant support from the American Bar Association and from the school's Lectures Program. The symposium will be held in April, 1983 on campus; its purpose is to promote a "higher standard of professional ethics and culture in law schools and profession at large." More information about the symposium may be obtained by writing to Phi Delta Phi. Other projects of Phi Delta Phi have included the Brown Bag Luncheon Lecture Series and the distribution of study aids and programs for first-year students. Harris lecture series The Addison Harris Lecture Program enables the school to invite many outstanding scholars and practitioners to the campus to present lectures for the faculty, students, members of the bar, the bench, and of the University community. During the fall semester seven distinguished lecturers gave presentations at the school. On October 18 Robert Cover, a professor at Yale Law School, lectured on "Law and the Narrative: The Narrative Foundations of Legal Traditions." On November 1, 1982 Karl Gossel, a professor at the University of Erlangen and a judge in Munich, lectured on "The Penal Procedure in Germany— The Antinomy of Truth and Justice." Craig Bradley had met Professor Gossel when Bradley was doing his research on the Exclusionary Rule in Germany at the Max Planck Institute in Freiburg. Charles Whitebread, formerly of the University of Virginia Law School and now at the University of Southern California Law Center, spoke on the "Non-Medical Use of Drugs." His lecture traced the origin of both federal and state statutes proscribing the use of certain drugs, particularly marijuana, opium and its derivatives. On November 22, James Krier of the University of California at Los Angeles School of Law lectured on "Strict Strict Polluter Liability." Krier has been involved in numerous environmental related activites, including the Natural Resources Law Institute Advisory Board, the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Energy and the Environment, and the California Attorney General's Task Force on Environmental Law. On November 19, Alan Paterson, lecturer in law at Edinburgh University and currently visiting professor at the University of New Mexico School of Law, gave a lecture entitled "Behind the Appellate Curtain: A Comparison of Judicial Decision Making in Britain and America." On December 1, Bobby Lee Cook, a Georgia attorney, former Georgia legislator, and recipient of the 1980 Legal Award of the American Academy of Achievement, presented a lecture entitled "Criminal Law and Procedure: How The Pendulum Swings 1949-1982." Popkin first Whistler fellow William D. Popkin, Professor of Law, is the first recipient of the Charles Whistler Fellowship. The Whistler Faculty Fellowship was made possible through a substantial gift to the school from the firm of Baker and Daniels in memory of Charles Whistler (1925-1981). Additional support has been received from Mrs. Kay Whistler, his widow, and from friends and clients. These generous contributions have been used to establish an endowment fund to create the school's first faculty fellowship. The fellowship will be used to defray the costs of the fellow's travel, special secretarial and computer services, and other expenses incidental to the fellow's research and scholarly work. Whistler fellows are selected from among those distinguished members of the law faculty whose research and creative scholarship put them in the forefront of the profession. The School of Law is indebted to the foresight evidenced by Charles Whistler's law firm, his family, and friends in establishing this innovative and supportive program for strengthening legal education in the state and nation. Charles Whistler William Popkin This year's recipient is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Harvard Law School who practiced law for four years in New York and spent a year in India as a Fulbright scholar before joining this faculty in 1968. During his career, Professor Popkin has published over 20 scholarly articles, primarily in the areas of taxation and administrative law. His articles have appeared in the Indiana Law Journal, the Yale Law Journal, Tax Notes, the Cornell Law Review, and the Boston College Law Review among others. His most recent article, "Client-Lawyer Confidentiality," appeared in the Texas Law Review last year. Popkin also served the school as admissions officer and associate dean for academic affairs. Law & Sports conference Feb. 10-11 The School's Center for Law & Sports will host its second national conference, "Law and Amateur Sports II" at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Indianapolis on February 10 & 11, 1983. The conference will focus on four issues: Broadcast Rights College & University Athletes: The Legal Impact of Financial Aid NCAA Enforcement Processes Amateur Eligibility in Olympic Sports The conference is designed to provide current information on these topics and an opportunity for their critical discussion for those most immediately confronted with the issues—college and university counsel, attorneys representing athletes, amateur sports leagues, conferences, and other organizations, athletic directors and other education administrators. It will also be valuable for those with an interest in sports law in general. One of the issues facing the sports world today is that of broadcast rights, as has been illustrated by the recent NCAA-CFA litigation. Philip R. Hochberg, an attorney with the Washington, D.C. firm of Baraff, Koerner, Olender, and Hochberg will be the principal speaker on this topic. Don Canham, the athletic director at the University of Michigan, Wiles Hallock, the executive director of the Pac-10 Conference, and Patricia Pacey, an economist at the University of Colorado, will serve as panelists. Questions surrounding the status of the scholarship athlete will be addressed by Professor Ron Waicukauski of this law school. He will use the recent Indiana Court of Appeals decision which awarded workmen's compensation to an injured scholarship athlete as a point of departure. John Shanks, II, chairman of the Industrial Board of Indiana, David Abrams, a former IU football player and now on the Labor Relations Board of the State of Minnesota, Jack Wentworth, a professor in the IU School of Business and the University's faculty representative to the Big Ten, and Alien Sack of the Department of Sociology of the University of New Haven and executive director of the Center for Athletes' Rights and Education, will serve as panelists. Frank Remington, professor of law at the University of Wisconsin and a member of the NCAA's Committee on Infractions, will be the principal speaker on NCAA enforcement processes. Henry T. Lowe, James Lewis Parks professor of law at the University of Missouri-Columbia College of Law and a member of the NCAA's Executive Committee, Richard (Rick) Bay, athletic director at the University of Oregon, and David Gaona, a Phoenix attorney, will be panelists. Peter Alkalay, an attorney in the New York firm of Nitkin, Alkalay, Handler and Robbins, will analyze issues of amateur eligibility in Olympic sports. C. Robert Paul, Jr., public information director for the U.S. Olympic Committee, Alvin Chriss, an attorney and administrator of the TAC-TRUST for The Athletics Congress, and Don Kardong, an Olympic athlete and president of the Association of Road Racing Athletes, will serve as panelists.

The award was made during the Bloomington Law Conference. FACULTY NEWS Bloomington law school faculty news in brief The demands of scholarly research are varied, and Associate Professor Craig Bradley found that his particular project required him to spend a semester in West Germany. Bradley was interested in doing a comparison of the United States and West German exclusionary rules. Some legal scholars maintain that West Germany employs no such rule. However, Bradley learned during the course of his study at the Max Planck Institute for Criminal Law in Freiburg that the Germans do, in fact, have such a rule, but its purpose is to protect values different from those pic-tected by our rule. The purpose of the West German exclusionary rule in most cases is not to regulate police behavior, but rather to protect certain privacy interests. Bradley's research will be published in the March issue of the Harvard Law Review. His semester in Germany was supported in part by a grant from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Several other faculty are pursuing research in criminal law and procedure. Associate Professor Robert Heidt is evaluating procedures for effective litigation against white-collar crimes and civil violations. His latest article looked at the tactics companies devise to resist subpoenas for their documents. Associate Professor Ilene Nagel has finished the empirical portion of a study on pre-trial release, plea negotiation, and sentencing decisions of ten federal district courts during the years 1974-1980. Her analysis will focus on the degree to which these decisions are affected by legal and extra-legal factors, such as social class, race, sex, and whether the offense is a white collar or non-white collar crime. Professor Roger Dworkin is studying Executive involvement in the decision-making process regarding treatment of critically ill patients, a process which has traditionally involved only patients, family, guardians, hospital administrators, and physicians. In addition, Dworkin lectured in September on "Legal Issues in Cancer Research and Treatment" at the Thirteenth International Cancer Congress in Seattle and at a joint meeting in Indianapolis of Methodist and St. Vincents Hospitals. Assistant Professor Michael Carrico has a grant from the American Bar Foundation to conduct a legal research project to determine why people choose to use mechanisms other than wills to transfer their property at death. He will interview a scientifically selected sample of Illinois and Indiana property owners to learn the answer. Dean Sheldon J. Plager is analyzing the use of arbitration as an alternative to legislation, litigation, and regulation in the resolution of airport noise disputes. Associate Professor Bryant Garth is involved in a comparative study of the emergence and evolution of the legal status of "migrants" in Europe and the United States. Last summer he gave a series of seminars at the European University Institute in Florence on this subject. Associate Professor Terry Bethel served on the planning committee for the Equal Employment Opportunity Litigation Seminar held at the Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis. The seminar was sponsored by both Indiana University law schools, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Indiana Continuing Legal Forum. Professor Douglass Boshkoff participated in the Association of American Law Schools workshop on teaching bankruptcy. He presented a session entitled, "Tackling the Problems of Teaching Preferences, Priorities, and the Avoiding Powers." The workshop was held in Arlington, Virginia. Professor Patrick Baude was moderator for the Indiana Conference on "The Media and the Law" sponsored by the Indiana State Bar Association, the Indiana Judges' Association, the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys' Council, Hoosier State Press Association, the Society for Professional Journalists, the Indiana Broadcasters' Association, and Sigma Delta Chi. Professors William Oliver and William Popkin have been involved in preparing briefs in Felton v. Commissioner, a case before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Professor Oliver wrote the brief for the appellants, and Professor Popkin wrote an amicus brief for the American Association of University Professors. The case involves the deductibility of traveling expenses of two-worker households when husband and wife work in different cities. Dean Sheldon J. Plager (left) and Mrs. Plager (Professor Ilene H. Nagel) attended the reception in honor of the newly appointed Dean of the Indiana University-Indianapolis School of Law, Gerald L. Bepko (right), and his wife, Jean.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the addition was held in late November. The addition should take approximately two years to complete. Job conference Over 300 law students attended the third annual Career Planning and Job Search Conference held at the school on August 24-26, 1982. As in the past, the highlight of the conference was the opportunity for law students to meet with alumni and friends of the school who provided valuable insights into their practice areas and employer concerns in the hiring process. The panel on job search techniques was particularly popular with students who were interviewing in the fall because they learned tips and strategies from lawyers who are actively involved in the process.

Message from the President It is a great year to have been chosen to be the President of the Indiana University- Bloomington School of Law Alumni Association. We have broken ground on the new addition that will make the school plant match the quality of its faculty and students. We will also be able to have the space to make our library adequate for a first class law school. We Alumni, whether we struggled through in Maxwell Hall, or on Indiana Avenue, are witnessing the changes in the practice of law and the role of lawyers in our daily lives. We are watching the courts handle a volume of business that has increased geometrically over the past two decades. These changes we live with have been anticipated by our outstanding faculty here in Bloomington; the young graduates have been well prepared to meet the challenges of this exciting profession. Those of us who are a little older have been able to come back to Bloomington from time to time to participate in refresher seminars and programs that have complemented the Continuing Education efforts of the State Bar Association and our other professional groups. Our own faculty has been quite active in participating in and promoting all of these programs. As a practicing lawyer, I hardly have time to keep up with the present changes, let alone appreciate the trends of future change. It is only through my own contact with our law faculty that I am challenged to look ahead. I'm sure you share these same experiences with me. Our graduates are a most distinguished, influential and well-respected group. My hope is that our Alumni Association will reflect some of the strength and prestige of all of the graduates in this coming year. Thomas M.
