KU gains in law contest
By BARB KOENIG
Staff Writer
A team of University of Kansas law students successfully argued their way to Washington this week after they earned a J.D. from the University of International Law Moot Court Competition.
Members of the team who will be competing today, tomorrow and Thursday are: Phillip Burdick, second year law student, Whiting; Mark Dickerson, first year, Pasadena, Calif.; Betsy Heyen, second year, Prairie Village; Walter Haskins, first year, Shawnee; and James Prentice, second year, Turon.
The competition is held at a national and international level and is sponsored by the American Society of International Law, in partnership with the society's annual meeting.
Ten U.S. Regional champions will compete for the national title while representatives from 30 foreign universities compete in the foreign competition. The winner of the national competition will then compete against the winner of the foreign competition in the final rounds for the international title.
ACCORDING TO JOHN MURPHY,
professor of law and faculty advisor for the team, this is the sixth year KU has participated in the competition. KU won the
international competition for the first time in 1977.
The 1978 team qualified for the national competition after they won their third regional competition. Teams from law schools in five states competed in the national tournament and was held this year at Washburn University Law School in Topeka on March 10 and 11.
The national and foreign winners will be announced tomorrow night, Murphy said, at which time the two winning teams will exchange briefs with each other to enable each team to become familiar with their competitor's case.
Murphy said the five-member team would be seeking its third national title this week with hope of winning the international competition for the second year in a row.
THIS YEAR'S CASE is a hypothetical situation that deals with international rights and laws of war. Murphy said the same case in 2014, in which Iran, foreign and international competitions.
Murphy said the judges were selected from different places and were likely to have expertise in one of the areas of focus in the case.
The winner of the international competition will receive the Jessup trophy, Murphy, which could be kept until the next year's competition.
"We have to take the trophy back to he
washes it off," he said, beating it back,
to be bringing it back, he said.
The winners of the regional and national competitions received a plaque signifying the achievement. Murphy said there were no monetary awards.
MEMBERS OF THE KU TEAM were selected from a competition sponsored by the law school last fall. The competition was open to first, second and third year law students and was strict on a volunteer basis.
According to Murphy, members of the team were designated as either researchers and writers or oralists. Burdick and Henry also noted that this year's team and were responsible for researching the various laws involved in the case, including which, which, which is the context of the arguments.
Murphy said that a copy of the case to be argued in the Jesup competition was sent to the school last October and that research was conducted on the brief began during Christmas break.
The three oralists—Dickerson, Haskins and Prentice—will do the actual argument of the case. Murphy and the trip was financed by the law school and because of the great work they did in making oralists were the only team members who would be able to make the trip to Washington.
Library fines worked off
By CAROL PITTS
Staff Writer
Although it is not a widespread practice, students at the University of Kansas can work in any of the libraries on campus to pay book fines.
The main purpose for the policy is to relieve a shortage of help and a backlog of work, Frances Fischer, associate librarian for Malori Science Library, said yesterday.
"By allowing students to work off their fines, it frees student assistants who are familiar with the library to do work that requires more experience," she said.
Fisher said she had been allowing students to work off their fines for the past two years. She decides on an individual basis who can work.
"I LET THE STUDENT do it if the fine is a hardship for them and if the fine is a large one," she said. Fischer said one student had to book a book that had a $0 overdue fine on it.

"I just got to feeling sorry for the students," she said. "We are short of help and we can't afford it."
The branch libraries—the Music Library in Murphy Hall, Math Library in Strong Hall and Marvin Library in Marvin Hall—do not use the policy often because it is not well
Fischer said one or two students a week worked off their fines. The students work at the rate of $2.65 an hour until the fine is paid.
publicized, Robert Malinowski, associate dean of libraries, said.
BUT MALINOWSKI said any student could ask to work to pay off a fine.
"We have done it in the main library and in the branch libraries, but of course we cannot force a student to do it. It is only if the student wants to," he said.
