ACADEMY OF ALUMNI FELLOWS

The Indiana University School of Law will induct four of its distinguished graduates into its Academy of Law Alumni Fellows on Friday, Sept. 17, at its 23rd Annual Alumni Weekend.

The Academy of Law Alumni Fellows recognizes Indiana University School of Law Bloomington graduates who have earned renown and respect among their peers by virtue of dedication, talent, and allegiance to the highest standards of the legal profession. Honorees inducted into the Academy are selected by an anonymous committee of IU Law School

graduates from nominations submitted by members of the school's alumni association.

Those inducted this year are the Honorable Michael S. Kanne, Rensselaer, Ind.; Robert H. McKinney, Indianapolis, Ind; Clarine Nardi Riddle, Washington, D.C.; and William R. Stewart, Washington, D.C. They will be honored at a dinner ceremony on Friday, Sept. 17, 1999 on the IU Bloomington campus.

Michael S. Kanne received his B.S. in 1962 and his J.D. in 1968 from Indiana University and served on active duty as an officer in the U.S. Air Force from 1962-65.

The Honorable Michael S. Kanne was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1987 to the United States Court of Appeals in Chicago. Judge Kanne was first appointed to the federal bench by President Reagan in 1982, where he served five years as a United States District Judge in Indiana until his elevation to the appeals court. He was an Indiana state trial court judge for nearly ten years prior to his first federal appointment.

He currently serves on the national committee that oversees the operation of the federal defender system of the United States. He assisted the American Institute of Architects in establishing the first in a series of international conferences on court design. He has been involved as a lecturer, panelist and moderator in an extensive number of judicial programs for news media groups, law related organizations, judges and architects throughout the U.S. and abroad.

More recently, he was a lecturer at a London program on court design sponsored by the Royal Institute of British Architects and the University of London that culminated with a BBC interview.

Stewart began his NLRB career in 1963 as a legal assistant on the staff of former Chairman Frank W. McCulloch, after having been employed for four years as an attorney at the Atomic Energy Commission. In 1967 and again in 1970, he was selected to be president of the NLRB Professional Association. Throughout the years, Stewart received several promotions and was ultimately appointed to the position of chief counsel to the chairman in 1994. In 1997 he was awarded the President's Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service by President Clinton.

NEWS FROM STUDENT AFFAIRS OFFICE

PARKING OFFICE INFORMATION
The Parking Office has informed us that a parking ticket received in one of the adjacent lots will be excused by that office if the person is willing to purchase an "E" parking sticker for this coming year. The cost is $78.00. An "E" sticker allows parking in designated "E" lots at certain areas at the edge of campus, particularly in the stadium area to the north from which one can catch a bus ride to the law school (for no charge).

It also allows parking in "A" and "C" lots around the law school after 5 p.m. through the week and on week-ends.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS - WHO AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING THIS YEAR!
Our law school student organizations will be at tables in our first floor lobby during the lunch hour this Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 8-9, to give students an opportunity to gain mountains of information about the organizations in a short time.

GOLF OUTING COMING SOON (How is Law School like Golf?)
The annual school golf outing is rapidly approaching. The deadline for submitting your entry is Noon this coming Friday, with the golf outing the following Friday, Sept. 17. There will be prizes of all kinds for golfers at all levels of ability. Different flighting patterns will give all foursomes opportunities to be on a winning team or a losing team that actually wins!? In other words, golfing fun will abound.

Again, this is not an outing where skill is essential. The scramble format quickly nullifies the bad shots everyone will hit. Sign up now!

(A bonus prize for the best answer to the headnote question)
