None of them see these young professors as a group of "troublemakers." It is true the group forced. out generally disagreed with the administration. But, Reiser said, "there was no unusual amount of quarrelling for dissent." They all, Reiser said,. "without exception, had an interest in the law school." Few people know the precise reasons for the tenure decisions. But not all are curious. This is not a-situation, said Haynsworth, where "everybody should know the whole story." There is a system set up to. deal with such matters, continued Haynsworth, and "we ought to work within the system. I do not oppose the present system." Haynsworth was given tenure this year. "The administration," said Gene Lawrimore, a second year law student, "is perfectly capable of handling things like that." Lawrimore felt "the system they have is adequate" and saw no need for more student represen tation. Law students do not loom very large in this controversy. Most of them did not have enough in formation to comment. Never theless, students have played an important, albeit a limited role.

According to Jay Bender, a third year law student, students organized to discuss these decisions. There were some meetings with Foster. Members of the law review, said Bender, went to see USC President William H. Patterson and indicated their concern to him. Apparently, Patterson was impressed and formed an ad hoc committee to investigate the tenure decisions. It was on the recommendation of this body the tenure committee retracted its decison on Sullivan and Zimmer. At least one tenure committee member was surprised and im pressed by the vehemence of student protest. As Bender said, "the fact that an uproar was raised brought attention to the fact that all was not right in the law center."

But, said Ward, "trust has to be earned." In this case, Ward feels, "it was never earned before it was asked." NOTE: This analysis could not have been written without the help of several professors - fifteen, to be exact - and certain students. However, only two of these professors were on the tenure committee and, as such, could not speak with complete candor. Since only Foster and members of the tenure committee have the full facts, this is, an incomplete story. >dents u can be st Person at: Baptist Church drow from U.S.C.
