manpower question planning priority and research com mittee members discussed the feasibility of a law school at a jan 23 meeting raymond cowherd professor of history distributed a paper titled the student demand for legal education and the national demand for legal services the paper prepared by the legal task force deals with a need for legal education which is greater than ever and is increasing at a rapid rate it further pointed out that the demand lor legal help has multiplied tremendously because of major social legislation and recent supreme court decisions when contacted about the report dean brian brockway a member of the legal task force commented that the study was the best guess on needs for man power in the state brockway added that the report is somewhat inaccurate it takes into ac count the projected number of lawyers who will die and those who will move in or out of the state it also looks into factors such as no fault insurance and the funding of legal services he added to see how this will affect the number of lawyers needed there is however no way to be sure how many lawyers actually come into the state brockway said all that can be counted are those who take the bai examination lawyers who belong to corporations which move into the state dc not have to take the bar exam and therefore are not considered in the number of lawyers needed brockway added that the six law school deans and the state bar agreed that it was a fairly accurate report and you can trust their judgment the paper noted the following statistics in pennsylvania applications to law schools increased from 3.701 in 1964 to 11,571 in 1971 but enrollment only increased from 2,245 in 1966 to 3,979 in 1971 the law school ad mission council's newsletter vol 5 no 2 dec 1972 stated the law schools are filled to capacity only two schools reported having unfilled places j ralph lindgren associate professor of philosophy said the bulge in the number of students wanting to gel into law school and our inferiority in the beginning are the major reasons for initiating the law school now cowherd added the opportunity is there now and it will be harder at some subsequent time lindgren believes that the law school is relevant to lehigh's purpose and that it will generate support through grants and gilts he said that he agreed with brock way who said the law school will benefit the university and meet public demand lindgren outlined a plan of action that included hopes of a donated library he suggested a multipurpose building that late deliveries roster changes result in bookstore shortage students trying to purchase books for this semester's classes are finding empty shelves in the bookstore robert w bell director explained that some problems arise because of publishers policies on returns he said that mcgraw hill prentice-hall and wiley publishing companies will accept unlimited returns most others will only accept 20 per cent of returns by dollar volume faculty the director reported were asked to return their request lists by the middle of november ten per cent of the lists were returned by nov 20 60 per cent by dec 1 bell said that by dec 15 the bulk of the ordering was finished however with holiday and many other schools ordering orders arrived late he commented it is worse this semester than ever before students switching their rosters after preregi stra tion also present a problem since books are ordered according to the number of persons preregistered for a course if many students drop a course at the beginning of the semester it stands to reason that other courses gain students and more books are then needed bell added the bookstore staff generally takes two to three weeks to process the books in preparation for sales this year they were forced to accomplish the task in one week because of late deliveries in one instance a publisher shipping lehigh's order lo lafayette bell commented that when students want a book that has been sold out the order generally takes from five to ten days to arrive depending on the location of the publishing house on the subject of book thefts the director commented that fewer incidents have occurred he said that the students seem more concerned this year possibly because of a national awareness of shoplifting some students have suggested weaknesses in the bookstore's security bell
