Law Grads Face 'Final of Finals'
KU's School of Law will graduate ten students Feb. 1 but these students still have to face their "final of finals," the Kansas Bar Examination.
Most, if not all, of these perspective lawyers will be taking the examination Feb. 14 and 15 in Topeka.
Many of those taking the test have voiced apprehension. Stephen Todd, Sedan, said, "I'm scared to death of it." Ward Lawrence, Wichita, said, "I'm apprehensive about the test since last year it seemed that more flunked than in the past."
MAURICE VORHIES, Augusta, said, "I regard it as something not to be taken lightly, but certainly not to be feared."
Most of the 10 students plan to take the Kansas Bar Review Course, a two-week course sponsored by Washburn's Delta Theta Phi Legal fraternity and open to anyone taking the examination. Topeka attorneys, judges, and Washburn instructors will teach the review course beginning Jan. 31.
Gary Hanna, Wichita, said, "I think the law school has prepared me. I think the law school has done a great job of preparing students for law, but I would like to see more courses in the area of trial practice."
WARD LAWRENCE, Wichita,

law school. KU has prepared me well."
"I am a little worried because it seems that the quality of student at school is not an indication of his passing," he said. "Often students pass whom professors thought could not, while at times honor students have flunked—none from KU, though."
TODD SAID, "The law schools do not put out finished products. Legal education does not end with the law school. We are as well prepared as we could be with the type of legal education we have today."
The only woman law school graduate Feb. 1, will be Mrs. Clarine Smissman, Lawrence. "I'm terrified of the examination but I feel the law school has prepared me. I don't expect it to be easy and I hope I pass," she said. "It will be up to the individual."
