Why give to the Legion Lex Annual Fund? Because technology changes every day. Because top-notch students rely on scholarships. Because <strong>USC</strong>’s public interest programs provide critical community services. Because the quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>USC</strong>’s programs continues to g r o w, as does the value <strong>of</strong> a <strong>USC</strong> legal education. Because every gift, large or small, adds up to vital resources that allow the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> to meet the changing needs <strong>of</strong> students, faculty and the legal pr<strong>of</strong>ession — while continually responding to the traditional demands <strong>of</strong> a quality legal education. Call today with your tax-deductible gift to the <strong>USC</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> Legion Lex Annual Fund, and wa t c h the mail this spring and fall for more information on how you can give. Because every gift makes a difference. “ I give for many reasons, but especially because <strong>of</strong> what <strong>USC</strong> g a ve me — ” — John W.

If you are not there, every other classmate will be deeply disappointed. All <strong>of</strong> this according to your hardworking Reunion Committee consisting <strong>of</strong> Milt Zerin ( chair), B i l l B i r n i e, Volney Bro w n, G e o rge Cox, G e o rg e D e R o y, Ken Holland, Ann Stodden, Don Vo n M i z e n e rand H a rold Wa x. Good thing they are not charging their usual hourly rates! When you are appropriately hounded by the aforesaid to make your annual contribution to the Arthur S. Bell and Dean S. Butler Scholarship Fu n d, the most important thing is your participation. Yes, we would like a big fat tax-deductible ch e ck from you, but the number <strong>of</strong> us kicking in is more important than the amount; a high percentage <strong>of</strong> donors attracts the corporate and foundation money. But you have already proved that you know this by a high membership rate in Legion Lex. More specific a l l y, our rate <strong>of</strong> support is 27.1 percent, more than twice the all-class average <strong>of</strong> 12.3 percent. Th e only class having 10 or more survivors which is close to us is the dependable Class <strong>of</strong> ‘53, those guys who were two years behind us, at 25.6 percent. Let’s try to increase our lead. By the way, two <strong>of</strong> our classmates are “missing,” their wherea bout unknown to both the <strong>Law</strong> <strong>School</strong> and the State Bar: Norman H. Martell and Ralph V. N i ch o l s. If we could find them, they undoubtedly would make huge contributions. Please turn them in to me. Here’s a little-known fact, make what you will <strong>of</strong> it. Of the 78 <strong>of</strong> us for whom we have addresses, only 29 (37 percent) report an e-m a i l address. ‘5l excels at everything else, <strong>of</strong> course, including the return <strong>of</strong> questionnaires. Here is a sampling <strong>of</strong> what you report.
