Skits included "Wayne's World," "The Wizard ofOz," (complete with legal skills munchkins,a brainless professor and Dorothy's dog "tort-o"), and Molitemo as host of the game show "Legal Jeopardy." Greg Schwind and Brian Golden received special applause for their portrayals of Neal Devins and Professor Fisher. Both were entertaining and (nearly) perfect imitations. Some members of the audience forgot where they were for a moment or two. Rustin Polk and Lance High brought up the rear of this distinguished procession of talent. Faculty members in attendance included Dean Timothy Sullivan, Pro I fessors Susan Grover and Dick Williamson, Dean Faye Shealy, and Dean • Robert Kaplan. ' ' ' Greg Brummett Rich and Jimmy were the most excellent hosts of Libel Night's "Wayne's World," in which Bob Dylan and Neal Devins discussed ..the constitutional implications of numerous song lyrics. Carrie Leonard Claudia Del Gross and Jesse Erwin sang a medley of Sonny and Cher tunes at the dinner-date auction. Greg Brummett Brian Golden (Professor Fischer) navigated the audience through the nuances of intestacy law at last Thursday's Libel Night. Carrie Leonard Ken Golski makes a desperate attempt to solicit a bid for his bod at the dinner-date auction. Ken was purchased by his sister.
