Harvard has created in my name a permanent fellowship to promote public service - the first and only one of its kind, said Judge Kaufman. In look- ing back on the exemplary achievements of the first group of Kaufman fellows, and in con- gratulating the new students honored in 1991, 1 am particu- larly pleased to note an increase in the number of extraordinary qualified candidates seeking careers in the field of public service. Such dedication bodes well for this country's next gen- eration of lawyers and citizens. I am proud to lend my name to a fellowship that enables stu- dents to fulfill these noble goals. Outgoing Justice Has Surgery To Implant Pacemakei Last Friday, September 6, outgoing Supreme Court Jus- tice Thurgood Marshall under- went surgery: to implant a From the Associated Press pacemaker in his chest at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center. A spokesman for the hospital said Marshall Is resting com- fortable and in good spirits. 'The pacemaker is function- ing as expected, said the spokesman, Lieutenant Com- mander Bill Clyde. Commander Clyde said the pacemaker had been implanted to treat an abnormally slow heart rate. The condition was discovered during extensive evaluation of Marshall while under exami- nation after being admitted to r the hospital after complaining of light-headedness on Sep- tember 4. Justice Marshall has remained in the hospital since that day. Commander Clyde said the 83 year-old Justice had re- mained awake during the pro- cedure and tolerated it well. The announcement did not say when he would be released. Marshall, the only black Jus- tice in the Court's history, said in June that health had been a factor in his decision to leave the Court after 24 years. He is to retire as soon as a successor is confirmed by the Senate, He suffered a heart attack in 1976, has had bouts of pneu- monia and bronchitis, and was hospitalized in 1987 with a blood clot in his right foot and in 1990 for a fall in Chicago. North Hall Opens Its Doors Harvard Law School's newest dormitory, North Hall, opened its doors to students for the first time this Fall. The dorm stands two blocks north of the campus on Massachusetts Av- enue in the building that for- merly housed the Quality Inn. Earlier this year, the Law School garnered a long-awaited permit to convert the hotel to needed new housing for stu- dents. The Law School had pur- chased the property in October of 1988, and obtained the devel- opers' lease in March, 1990. Harvard has made a number of structural and aesthetic changes to the building. The pool has been eliminated, but the lobby has been restructured and redone, and new paint coats have been added. The dorm is also the first of the Law School's to be fully co-ed. Cad Dawson, a resident as- sistant in North Hall, feels the dormitory is a very positive addition to the LawSchool. It's a great place to live, says Dawson. It may be a sign that HLS is putting greater empha- sis on making students feel more comfortable in this stressful environment. The carpeted rooms range from 144 to 245 square feet, and each has a private bath and double bed, as well as the traditional dorm furniture. North Hall also features indi- vidually controlled heating and air-conditioning. Residents receive free basic cable TV service already hooked up to full-size sets, and priority for on-site parking managed by the University. The building itself has elevators, two modern, newly-designed, shared kitchens, a three-room lounge and meeting suite with an unexpectedly beautiful view, and is fullyaccessible to the physically disabled. Ed Joy, another resident as- sistant in the facility, said, It's as nice as an apartment com- plex, but it's even better be- cause you are surrounded by friends and colleagues who are sharing the law school experi- ence with you. The one thing which is already producing snickers is the sign outside the building which now reads:NORTH HALL, HARVARD LAW, DOLLAR OPEN. It refers to the Dollar rent-a-car which is still oper- ating In the building. This may not be clear to all who read it. The new damitcy has such cuTparaWvely luxuious features as air conditioning, cable 7V private btllivoms, and priority parking.
