For those readers meeting it for the first time, perhaps a note of introduc- tion is in order. First as a newspaper, and since 1969 as a magazine, the Lawyer has served Marshall-Wythe as a forum for student thought on the law school and the law. For the past year the Lawyer has been, as it were, on vacation. Now it is back. Diversity is the objective of the Lawyer, and the con- tents of this issue exemplify that goal. Two articles follow an environmental vein. The first, a guest article by Mr. Denis Brion, traces the development of the 1972 Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments. Mr. Brion, who this year joined the faculty of Marshall-Wythe, is the present president of the Virginia State Water Control Board, a body that has been unusually visible to the public eye this year because of its responsibility to investigate first the Kepone scandal and later the Great Chesapeake Bay Oil spill. 1.

Three articles in this issue have in common a concern for the problems that arise when law attempts to deal with morality. Ingrid Hillinger considers the problems of The Duty to Rescue, while R. Gregory Barton takes a fresh look at The Morality of Suicide. Mark Horos- chak, in his turn, contributes a study on Positive Eugenics and the Law. On a practical note, Kathleen Nixon's article: Semi- Student Bargaining delves into the timely issue of the rights of graduate teaching assistants and medical in- terns and residents to bargain collectively for higher pay. Finally, on the lighter side. Jane Bedno finds poetry in the justice that defines women's place under the law. We think you will find it interesting. CHANGES With this issue, The Colonial Lawyer begins a new chapter in its history. While outwardly little changed from past issues, internally the Lawyer has undergone a
