Transcript	Dean Niebel discusses seminars in progress at the UH Law School, above. Below, Gary Lee. Law Day sheriff, leads Bonnie Parker (Cathy Hill) to jail. 324 Mexican Studies Program Initiated in College of Law Costruction on the new Bates College of Law building began last fall, while present accommodations once again kept over 500 applicants from being accepted. In answer to the growing number of United States corporations doing business in Mexico, the College of Law instituted a Mexican Studies Program last spring, under the direction of Professor Richard W. Ewing. Two courses were scheduled for the next fall, and a cultural exchange program with Mexico was planned. Former professor of comparative law at Brasenose College Oxford, Frederick H. Lawson, was appointed the first Maurice Frankel Professor of Law at the university. Mr. Lawson also delivered public lectures on "Legal Orthodoxy." Professor Burton C. Agata was among four of the nation's law teachers and practitioners chosen by the Commission for the Reform of the Federal Criminal Law, to rewrite the entire federal criminal law. Agata will take a leave of absence next year to complete this job in Washington. Among the prominent visitors to the Law School last year were political candidates John Hill, Ben Barnes, Tom Reavley and James Denton. Sponsored by SCOPE, the Student Committee on Political Education, these speakers discussed campaign issues and answered questions. Other events included a special program for law alumni, the annual Law Day, a series of informal smokers for law students and practicing attorneys, and the annual law banquet with Congressman Bush speaking. In addition a senior-alumni program was inaugurated to bring the graduating class together with practicing lawyers. Construction is well underway on the new Bates College of Law on Calhoun, above. Chief prosecuter, Joe Mass attempts to ob tain a verdict of guilty, right. 325
