Working with judge helps law students
By CAROLINE REDDICK

Law students who have not committed themselves to a specific field might find judicial clerkships helpful in deciding where and what to practice, a KU professor said yesterday.
Speaking at the School of Law's noon forum, William Westerbeke, professor of law, told students that judicial clerkships could provide insights into specific areas of law.
"You can learn a great deal about options that you never encountered in law."
Clerkships also provide annual salaries of about $22,000 to $23,000. You must
"If you're doing it to make money, you're doing it for the wrong reason. You can make more money working for a firm," Westerbeke said. "The best reason is that it's a great education and a very good experience. And you get two years out of your life. So you practice 44 years instead of 45."
Westerbeke said judicial clerks could work in the federal courts, where a clerk usually works for one judge. In central staff positions, such as those offered by state courts, a clerk usually works for a group of judges. Clerks also work in specialty
courts or agencies such as the Labor Department, with judges handling specific types of cases.
Jim Hosnett, Topeka law student, attended the forum but said he was not seriously considering a clerkship. He said that because he was an older graduate, he probably would go directly into practice.
"I if were a 22-year-old, I'd probably be more interested." he said.
Westerbeke said a clerk's duties could vary depending on the judge and type of clerkship.
"A clerk basically gives research and writing assistance to the judge," Westberke said. "He may ask you to check out the arguments of each side. You may get involved in editing drafts or writing drafts that the judge edits. He may want you to play devil's advocate."
He said clerks who worked with a good judge might increase their income.
"The judge's reputation is a very important factor as far as a resume item," he said. The judges are really it, but making sure their clerks get a good job.
"Most people say later, 'I wouldn't trade that year for anything I've done, almost.'"
As the weather warms, people will take to hiking and biking trails. While enjoying the exercise, they will need to consider what high energy, portable foods to carry on an afternoon outing or a week-long excursion.
Healthy food needed on hike

What are good foods for fuel?
Ann Kohl, Watkins Hospital dietitian, said people's nutrition needs didn't change when hiking. Hikers and other sport fanatics still needed to eat well-balanced meals from the four food groups — dairy products, meat, fruit and vegetables, and breads and grains.
"You want a balanced diet. Hiking doesn't change the needs for nutrition."
She suggested eating peanut butter for protein. It's easy to carry, won't ruin in hot weather and can be spread on toast or with milk to fill the bread and grain requirement.
Chuck Magerl, an employee at the Community Mercantile Group, a natural foods grocery at 700 Maine St., said that long distance bicyclists most often took along peanut butter on long trails.
"Peanut butter comes in a whole variety of candy," he said.
Cheese, yogurt and hard-boiled eggs also are excellent sources of protein, but they can spoil on long trips.
Yogurt and other milk products need to be kept at 35 to 40 degrees, he said, and there are difficult foods to cart on a long hiking or biking trip.
But Magerl said that cheeses would hold up well for afternoon outings.
"Most cheeses are designed to be served at room temperature and not right out of the refrigerator," he said.
Magerl didn't think it was essential to cover all four food groups while on an afternoon outing.
"Mostly in the afternoon you need something to keep you alive so that you can enjoy your day."
Magerl said that a mixture of raisins, sunflower seeds and almonds was convenient and required little preparation. He also suggested carrying dried fruits. Dried apricots and pears are good choices because they are sweet. he said.
Fruits and vegetables are easy to fix and are portable, Kohl said. Apples, oranges, bananas, celery and carrots are examples of simple-to-tote fruits and vegetables.
Granola and dried cereals can be carried in dry, plastic containers or plastic baggies, and are simple energy boosts.
And Kohl suggested carrying water and fruit juices on a hike.
But exercisers should avoid can- bars as a quick source of energy.
Kohl said. Other foods, such as fruits and vegetables, supply the same energy nutritionally.
"For the most part, you're just eating sugar," she said.
Magerl said candy bars provided quick but non-lasting energy. And candy bars can actually exercise more tired.
"Once the sugar is gone, it leaves your body in a lower energy phase," he said.
Candy bars that contain fruit sugar instead of refined sugar slowly provide energy and are more nutritional.
Another problem is how to transport foods.
Kohl suggested carrying foods in airtight, well-insulated and light-weight containers. She said that styrofoam containers worked well because they could keep foods hot or cold.
George Latham, owner of Gran Sport, Seventh and Arkansas streets, said that freeze-dried or soft-packaged prepared foods were optimal food sources for longer treks. Freeze-dried packages are quick to fix. The packages, which take from three to five minutes to prepare in hot water, come in a wide variety of foods. Beef strogonoff, pork, corn and green beans are a few options.

KU student wins national award
Truman scholarship to help with third degree, law school
Staff writer
By TODD COHEN
A KU student has been awarded a Truman scholarship, one of 105 offered nationally to college sophomores interested in government service.
Frank Partnoy, Overland Park sophomore, will receive up to $7,000 annually for two years of undergraduated study and two years of graduate work.
"It's so unreal," Partnoy said yesterday. "I've always been interested in public service."
CUP AND USE RUSTY'S COURONS
"This is a major award. It's national recognition," said Randa Dubnick, assistant director of the College Honors program.
Partnoy, who is majoring in economics and math, said he had planned to graduate next year, after three years. But because the scholarship will pay for two more years, he now will stay and seek a third degree, possibly in political science.
Truman scholarships are awarded to students by the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation in honor of the United States' 32nd president.
Partnoy said he also planned to attend last week, which the scholar's team will prepare for.
Nominees for the Truman award are required to have a minimum 3.0 grade point average, rank in the upper one-fourth of their class, be full-time students and be U.S. citizens. They also must submit several essays.
"First, I want to establish some kind of technical reputation, probably in economics . . . and work in the Treasury Department," he said.
Second, Partnoy said he wanted to run for public office, something that he already has had success at. Last week, Partnoy was elected to an off-campus seat on the Student Senate. Partnoy ran with the First Class coalition.
After graduating, Partnoy said he had two main goals.
Students are nominated by their universities. KU nominated three students, including Partny, who was one of five Kansas semifinalists. Overall, Kansas colleges nominated 25 students.
The other KU nominees were Richard Morrison, Hutchinson sophomore, and Daniel Schneider, Manhattan sophomore.
"We're very proud of all our nominees." Dubnick said.
