GRA3 i AUTHENTIC EDENS IN TOP THIE Woman Lai By Bill Black Staff Writer While some persons may argue for and some against women who are lawyers, there still remains the fact that women enrollees in law school all over the nation are definitely on the increase. Many women in the legal pro fession have made distinguished names for themselves while a good many have quit professional careers for marriage and fami lies. But generally they have proved that women can be just as capable as men in the profes sion of law. The point of argument for women in the profession has waned during the last two decades, and presently it is not so unusual to find a female attorney in nearly every town of any size. Member of Wig and Robe Miss Betty Jo Edens, attractive 24-year-old senior it Carolina's School of Law has the distinctive honor of "Wig and Robe" member ship. Membership in this exclusive scholastic society of the law school is determined by scholastic mini mums. Presently, there are only three members in the society. Miss Edens, the only woman in the senior law class, is a native of Columbia and a 1950 graduate of Columbia High School. She re ceived her A.B. degree from Car olina in 1954, after having carried a double major in English and psychology. Although Miss Edens will read ily admit that being a lawyer has not been a lifetime ambition as is the case of most women who are lawyers, she unequivocally main tains that her decision to enter law school has been the unique realization of the broad educa tional ambition she has always had. The hardest part of law school, according to Miss Edens, was the first few weeks when, as the only girl, she had to speak before purely masculine groups. She felt out of place and was afraid, she said, but after a while, she finally realized that the men were just as scared when speaking before a group. Robert C. l In Honor C A memorial Loan Fund has been established here in honor of the late Robert C. Mobley, a 1944 Car olina music graduate, who died October of last year. The Fund was established by a group of friends and colleagues of Mr. Mob ley, who, since his graduation from the University, has taught in New York City. The Fund, according to an nouncement received here this week, is to be made available to worthy music students in pursuit of a musical career. Persons wish ing to participate in this memor ial may send contributions to Frank Welbourne, treasurer of the University.
