#student orientation

Mondale Hall is bustling this week as we welcome students for J.D. Orientation. 

The Survival Handbook was produced for students of the Law School by the “Handbook committee of the student committee on student orientation” (Wayne Gilbert, Charlie Wikelius, Clarin Schwartz, and Gordy Schaller) in 1971. This humorous guidebook is full of academic and non-academic advice alike, from how to use the library to where to buy liquor. It’s amazing to see how far the library has come since 1971!

Keynote speaker: Look at the person to the left of you. Put your hand in that person’s pants.

Now look at the person to the right of you. Put your other hand in their pants.

Everyone remove your hands from the others’ pants.

On average, one of you three will not graduate. Let’s hope you do.
