handle is hein.journals/hlrec67 and id is 1 raw text is: HARAR LA REOR America's Oldest Law School Newspaper © 1978 O THE HARVARD LAW SCHOO RECORD CORPORATION SEPTEMBER 22, 1978 Administrative BALSA: Boyc Structure of HLS Revamped By Charles Johnson By Michael Smith A major revision of the Law School administrative staff oc- curred during the summer. The net results of the changes were five de- partures, four new staff members and numerous rearrangements and new titles. The reasons for such a large number of changes were partly the result of decisions by some people to go on to other jobs, and partly my sense that we might improve our organizational struc- ture, according to Dean Albert Sacks. Sacks said that his intent with many of these positions was to provide someone with an assign- ment and let them develop the job. Sacks also indicated that the per- sonnel involved were a mix of both persons familiar with the system and outsiders who will bring in new perspectives. Consultants will be utilized in several areas to pro- vide an outside perspective without having to keep someone in a per- manent relationship. Sacks identified three results of the new administrative structure. First, he says that the administra- tion will now have a greater capac- ity to carry out changes if and when they are desirable and neces- sary. He indicated that a smoother transition into a 4-1-4 system was one of the changes which benefited from the new structure.

Last year the firm, Collier, Shannon, Rill, Edwards & Scott, cancelled its scheduled interviews after BALSA engineered a boycott and threatened a protest which reduced the number of students signed up to interview with the firm from 30 to three. Profs Pit Law Against Media - And Both Win By Tammy Jacobs Imagine this: you're an inves- tigative newspaper reporter. You receive information that Heinrich Schweinhund, a prominent corpo. rate lawyer in your town who has just been nominated for the city school board, is a former Nazi. He served at one of the concentration camps in Eastern Europe during the Second World War and re- turned to Germany in 1956 for what may have been a meeting with other former Nazis. Schweinhund is active in civic organizations, has been extremely (Continued on Page 12) 1 VOL. 67, NO. I TWENTY CENTS ott Lobbyists But this year approximately 40 students have signed up for inter- views with Collier, Shannon, and the firm plans to come to Cam- bridge despite the threatened pro- tests. In the event that Collier, Shan- non ultimately comes to the Law School on the 25th, we will have a protest demonstration in order to allow students the opportunity to know exactly who Collier, Shannon is, said Michael W. Tyler, BAL- SA's vice president, The demon- stration will consist of a peaceful picket line and the distribution of leaflets, he added. Tyler said BALSA would halt the protest only if Collier, Shannon were prohibited from using Place- ment Office facilities to recruit HLS students. Fight for Freedom In a resolution adopted last week, BALSA stated: We ... reaffirm our commitment to the ongoing struggle of the people of South Africa for full equality, free. dom and human dignity. We con- demn the present South African government for being racially op- pressive and violative of the most basic human rights of the over. whelming majority of the people of South Africa.

Bernardi, assistant (Continued on Page 7)
