University Daily Kansan, February 27, 1985 Page 5 Clark continued from p.1 helped plan city hall, develop Riverfront Park and remodel downtown Lawrence. "CLARK BROUGHT local government into the classroom," said Molly Daniels, Lawrence third-year law student. "He was a teacher. He was out of a student. He really knew his stuff." Clark said his first love was teaching. He said he ranked his three awards as the law school's best teacher above all the others. Schroeder is a lawyer. A. Schoerder distinguished professor of law "KU law school is blessed with excellent teaching," Clark said, "I think KU exceeds even Harvard in this." Since 1970, Clark has served as special counsel to the Kansas Legislature. He prepared comments for the Kansas uniform commercial code, which regulates mortgages, promissory notes, sales and warranties. He also helped draft the Kansas Consumer Protection Act from 1969 to 1973 and the Kansas Consumer Credit Code from 1967 to 1973 Clark practiced in Denver with the Holme, Roberts, and Owen law firm before coming to KU in 1899. AFTER GRADUATING from Harvard. When Clark graduated from Harvard, he always taught in the back of his mind, he said. In Denver, his colleague, Martin Dickinson, left the firm to become the dean of law at KU. A few years later, he offered Clark a teaching job. "It's been a privilege to be a part of the staff under Dickinson and then Davis," Clark said. "They have carried the law school so far." Primary continued from p.1 were talled by hand. The results were written on a chalkboard. Amyx said he was excited about his strong finish. Most of the candidates waited to see the results but the City Commission meeting kept the three incumbents until 10 p.m. continued from p. 1 "I think my accessibility is important to individuals." Amvy said. ELEVEN CANDIDATES running for three City Commission vacancies, Amyx said, is evidence that a strong interest in city government exists. But Hill said the voter turnout had worried him "Low voter turnout is more likely to have an adverse affect on someone like me," he said. Praeger said she too was concerned about the turnout but was pleased with her finish. Praeger said she had been hoping to make it into one of the top three spots in the primary to indicate she had a good chance in the general election. "Representative government works best when you get a mandate from the people." Prairie Media "It's been a long time since we had three incumbents," she said. "I wanted Shontz said she had hoped to finish better than fourth. to be in the top three obviously. There's no sense in bucking tradition." "The race is still is on," she said. "I'd expected to finish in the top three. I've got to work harder and see if I can change the order of the cards." McCoy said she would have to work even harder than she already had if she hoped to win one of the commission seats in April. Bob Pulllam said he was pleased with his experience. He had not experienced it. mns because he had not campaigned much. "I intend to be in the top three," he said. A panel of 18 judges were chosen this year from a list of students who participated as lawyers the previous year. "For law students, learning is put to actual use with the client," said Dickey. "Of course, it's not the life-and-death situation faced in a regular courtroom." After receiving a parking ticket, students have 14 calendar days to fill out an appeal form available in the parking services office in Hoch Auditorium. False statements, either in court or on the appeal form, will result in disciplinary action. Dickey said some students fabricated detailed stories as a way to beat the system and save money. The board assumes that they know the truth unless proven otherwise, she said. OTHER STUDENTS appeal every parking ticket they receive just to buy time, Hultine said, because fines do not have to be paid until the case is heard by the board. "It makes me laugh. Some students do this all the time." she said. "It bags down the system." A few years ago, students waited as long as two years for their case to be heard, Hultine said. But now, students wait about a month. To reduce the backup, the traffic court and emergency service requested that students only appeal tickets they thought were not deserved. A student indicates whether he or she wants to appeal the ticket in or out of court. If a student appeals out of court, or ex parte, he or she may be subject only on the information provided on the form. TRAFFIC COURT attorney Lisa Ashner, Mission first-year law student, said students utilized witnesses and photographs to strengthen their defense. She said the court's decision is based on taking to the client and the ticketing officer and visiting the site of the violation. Traffic court meets every Tuesday and Thursday during the school year, Ashner said, and attorneys are randomly assigned to about four clients each month. Traffic court operates similarly to an actual court situation. During the half-hour trial, the defendant is admonished to tell the truth rather than being sworn to do so, Dickey said. Then a future Perry Mason defends his or her client and elaborates upon the equities of the defendant's situation before a panel of three judges. Before leaving the bench, the defendant is cross-examined by the prosecuting attorney. The judges leave the courtroom after the questioning. When they return, the verdict is issued by the chief justice, who has presided at the hearing. The decision is explained to the attorneys and to the plaintiff, Dickey said. --register at the Student Assistance Center, 121 St. Ronch Hall, 664, 4064 STUDY SKILLS WORKSHOP Friday, March 1 FREE!!
