I still am optimistic that
satisfactory arrangelent ill
this regard can lie made with
respect h tie tlo and one-half
days set aside for our annual

281th, and certainly expect
that, in 1977 and beyond,
scheduling conflicts sVill Ie
avoided. I will keelt yo adt-

this nlatter with respect toour

It should tie noted that tie
terls of the ioenbers are
slaggered. Foir lew inenibers
mill be added to the board eacti

riiei tiers o the hoard are past
presideiits of either The SCII
or Its predecessor organiza-
tions.
As you %rill or have noted
froti the Presidet's Letter in
this issue, tIhe comlposition of
the hoard is excellent in every
regard. Each tnember has a
sincere desire to make a sub-
stantial contribution toward
achieving the board's goals.
There are already indications
that several facility comit-
tees of the USC tiw School are
jusl as anxious to work closely
with the new Law School
Btoard.
