George R. Moscone November 24, 1929-November 27, 1978

2 a fair and honest man"

I first came to know George Moscone in the mid-1950's as we both worked our way through Hastings as custodians. The Hastings Commu- nity was much smaller then. Few had envisioned the massive law complex now under construction west of the main campus facility. But few had denied that George R. Moscone was destined for political success. In 1966 George was elected to the State Sen- ate, two years after I had been elected as Assem- blyman, both of us representing San Francisco districts and the pride of Hastings. In recent years, George was best known for his accomplishments as Mayor of San Francisco, but his ability as an outstanding politician became emi- nent during his tenure as Senator of the Tenth District. George was more than a political colleague, he was a close personal friend. I dearly admired him over the twenty-five years that I came to know him. Throughout the years, Hast- ings has gained a reputation for producing renowned lawyers who dedicated their lives to public office. But none were more dedicated and sincere than George. He was of a special breed. He was most unique. Despite his quick progress by Willie L. Brown, Jr. up the political ladder in California politics, he managed to maintain a grass roots approach to politics and a closeness to his San Francisco con- stituency. He was never too big as a politician for the people he served. It was this attitude of un- selfishness and lack of egotism that drove George to return to the city he loved so much, San Fran- cisco. Why would a successful politician risk his State Senatorial seat to run for Mayor of a big city? Like all other large urban areas, San Fran- cisco was in disarray. It was plagued by crime, violence, poor management, and other common problems shared by the nation's cities. But San Francisco was George Moscone's city. He was reared, educated, and had taught law in San Francisco. He felt an obligation to his city. I admired George for taking on this difficult task of being Mayor of San Francisco. He had entered city politics at a time when conservatives had re-emerged on the political scene to attack the liberal views he had so vehemently espoused. George, however, was not as much a liberal as he was a fair and honest man. During the height of Watergate and other forms of corruption, George remained the epitome of a politician. He returned to San Francisco not out of political greed, but out of devotion to public service. In November of 1978 the world was saddened by the tragic loss of such a great human being and leader. Those of us who knew and respected George R. Moscone at Hastings, better understood the example he has set for us all as a devoted family man, politician and product of the Willie Brown and George Moscone Hastings Community.

4 In February, 1976, at Hastings' Conference on Institutional Planning (at which students, faculty, administrators, alumni, civic leaders and legislators participated), a principal objective was set forth: to provide adequate facilities, including housing, for its 1500 students, its growing faculty, and its expanded curriculum, including clinical programs. With the completion of the new Academic/Library Building and the acquisition and renovation of the 100 McAl- lister Street Building, Hastings will have achieved to a substantial degree the objectives of this conference and will have adequate facilities for students and faculty commensurate with any other major national law school.

In retrospect, our troubles in the 70's were real enough, but in balance, considered against the perspective of nearly 90 years of existence, I have concluded that the decade was really one of growth. Hastings has endured for 100 years-in some periods, it has been mere survival. Hastings is committed to "more than survival." It is committed "to serve and to service" in the full sense -an institution that has contributed its many sons and daughters to the legal, economic and political system which continues to be the instru- ment for change, the forum for civic life, and the vehicle for human aspirations, personal and collective, for a better life in a rapidly changing society. It remains committed to the urban environment, to the inner city and to the metropoli- tan area at a time when other institutions and individuals have been retrenching or fleeing to more pastoral environments. It is committed to creativity in a sense that all human effort aimed away from self is creative. It is rich in human resources-an outstanding student body, a faculty second to none, a large and influential alumni. Hastings has been a part of the San Francisco community for over a century-it has now reached its maturity and as it enters the 80's, it is hoped that it will become an even more relevant solver of problems. In Sigmund Freud's words: "A solver of problems is one who disturbs the sleep of mankind." Hastings must continue to teach law as Justice Holmes stated in a grand manner-to prepare men and women for the lifetime task of self education for service to the community. However, we cannot become so preoccupied with the grandness of our vision that we fail to hear the voices of our immediate neigh- bors-the poor, the elderly and the neglected should also be our individual and collective concern if Hastings College of the Law is to be a truly meaningful institution. Our universe is changing, our nation is changing, our state is changing, our city is changing, our neighborhood is changing-we must not only accept it, but embrace and participate in it, changes and all.

The multitude of those who have dedicated portions of their ener- gies to Hastings do so not only because they believe that it fulfills an important obligation to our profession, but because we are inspired to do so by the selfless leadership and dedication of Marvin Anderson. We view him not as a saint, but as a sincere man of enormous ability, whose vision always peers into a future just beyond our own range of vision. As he begins to fulfill his even more expanded role as Chancellor, as well as Dean of our law school, we know that the potential for realizing the visions becomes more firmly rooted. As with anyone who occupies a position of leadership, we can expect that there will be moments in the future when others may doubt or remain skeptical of this man who leads our law school. Rather than become dis- couraged, let us each take a moment to remind the Dean that no one remembers the names of the men who solemnly predicted that the Golden Gate Bridge could never be built.

10 To my knowledge there has never been a great law school without an active, involved and committed alumni. The student experience must be Bert S. Prunty, Dean-Academic Affairs but the beginning of a life-long relationship. If the graduating student views that happy occasion as a termination of responsibility to the institution, he or she deprives those who follow of the substantial benefit that can come only through the sustained attention and continuous support of those who are the school's reason for being. The alumni are the school in image, its alter ego. They continue to be responsible to it and become in a real sense responsible for it. Their responsibility is multifaceted and extensive. They owe those of us in administration the guidance made possible through their experience and wisdom. They owe our students counseling for curricular planning and career development as well as assistance in placement. They owe one another the fraternal and sororital support of those in common cause. They owe the College their best efforts in the greater community together with their work to keep the College worthy of community support. Within the economic structure of American life in this last half of the twentieth century the distinction between public and private educational enterprise has become blurred. No private university is fiscally independent of public funding; and no public school can compete without substantial private support. At Hastings approximately one-third of the cost of each student's education must come from private sources. In large measure this means the alumni. Without them it cannot be done. I have met a large number of our graduates in the past few weeks. They are brilliant, energetic and dedicated people. They care about Hastings and they are working for Hastings. I am confident that when our true needs are known this fine cadre of alumni officers and supporters will be able to galvanize the greater body into an understanding force directed by a permanent commitment. It must be so. Hastings has enormous kinetic energy. It must not dissipate. All of us-faculty, staff, alumni- share the burden and the opportunity of guiding our course and maintaining our momentum. I am proud to be a part of this; and I pledge my part.

14 A Tribute to Chancellor/Dean Anderson

On Saturday, October 27, over 850 members of the Hastings community joined together to pay tribute to Chancellor/Dean Marvin J. Anderson on the occasion of the beginning of his tenth year as Dean of Hastings and of his new responsibilities as Chancellor at a special Dinner Tribute sponsored by the Hastings Alumni Association at the San Francisco Hilton. All those in attend- ance had a most enjoyable time, and in addition to the scheduled roster of speakers, which included former California Supreme Court Justice Ray- mond L. Sullivan, the Reverend Earl Palmer of the First Presbyterian Church in Berkeley, Din- ner Committee Chairman Jerome Marks, Cali- fornia Assemblyman John T.

15 The 1979-80 Antenor Patiiio Fellowship Recipients

Five Hastings students have been selected to be this year's Tony Patihio Fellows from a pool of seventy applicants. Two of the Fellows for this year were also Fellows last year, Brian Haavisto and Ronald Novotny; the new Fellows are Betty Ann Hansen, Kathryn Matayoshi, and George Wardwell. The Antenor Patihio Fellowship was established at Hastings by Mrs. Francesca Turner in 1973, in the memory of her son, Antenor (Tony) Patiiio, Jr., a former student at Hastings and screenwriter for Universal Studios. Those selected to be Fellows are inevitably very unique people, as the method of selecting Tony Patifio Fellows and the criteria involved are unique. At Mrs. Turner's instructions, the Fellowship Selec- tion Committee specifically seeks to recognize and aid applicants whose personal and academic history demonstrate a dedication to social needs through active participation in organizations and Brian Haavisto programs that contribute to the solution of a wide range of problems now facing our society. The Antenor Patihio Fellowship was designed to enable recipients already involved in public service activities to continue engaging in those activities while attending law school. This year's Fellows are excellent examples of this philosophy. Brian Haavisto is one of two "renewed" Fel- lows this year. Since college, he has been employed as a child abuse worker, teacher of the mentally handicapped and a family services worker. He served on the Project Review Com- mittee of the Health Systems Agency in South Florida before beginning classes at Hastings.

This year's other "continuing" Fellow is Ronald Novotny. Ron has worked with children in sports and education all through high school and in college. He was an assistant coach for five years with the Westside Blazers Basketball Or- ganization, a community project for children. He is sports coordinator for the San Francisco YMCA for basketball and soccer leagues for 10 to 12-year-olds in San Francisco's Richmond Ronald Novotny District, and was involved with the National Summer Youths Sports Program in Los Angeles, which benefits underprivileged children. He has also tutored in Richmond District public schools and worked with the Berkeley Camps Project in providing recreational experiences for youth.

16 Betty Ann Hansen has had a long and abiding interest in politics ever since she was five years Betty Ann Hansen old and began canvassing door-to-door with her father. At age 18, she was the youngest Idaho delegate to attend the National Democratic Con- vention in Miami. By that time, she had already been a delegate to four State Democratic Con- ventions. Betty served as a political science intern at the Idaho State Legislature before moving to Washington, D.C., to work an an intern for Sena- tor Frank Church. Kathryn Matayoshi, who holds a purple belt in aikido, has served as coordinator for a Third World Poetry Reading at Carleton College, where she worked with poets Janice Mirikitani, Eugene Redmond and Manuel Gomez. Before entering Hastings, she served an internship with her congressman and worked in the Hawaii judiciary system with the District and Circuit Courts and the Family Court. She is an accomplished flutist and an expert in the art of the hula. George Wardwell worked his way up the ranks of the Boy Scouts to Eagle Scout, and then returned some of the benefits he gained from Scouting by beginning work with a troop of mentally handicapped Scouts. What started as a Kathryn Matayoshi short-term project became a long-term commitment, and he still maintains contact with the troop. He organized a camporee for all handicapped Scouts in the Northeastern United States, and has served as a Director of a Boy Scout summer camp, the youngest director ever employed by the Scouts. Each Antenor Patifio, Jr. Fellow is granted $5,000 to cover both educational and living ex- penses. In addition, if the Fellow should require child care for his or her children, the Antenor Patiiio, Jr., Endowment Fund can provide the funding for the excellent child care provided at the Hastings Child Care Center. Mrs. Turner hopes that the financial support from the Fellowship will afford its recipients the opportunity for free inquiry and activity outside their legal studies related to the needs of society. Serving on the Selection Committee this year were The Honorable Arthur J. Goldberg, former U.S. Supreme Court Justice; The Honorable Raymond Sullivan, former California Supreme Court Justice; and Los Angeles attorney Rose- George Wardwell mary Gauthier.

19 Last July, with the quiet confidence born of accumulated wisdom and accomplishments, Bert S. Prunty assumed the helm as Academic Dean at Hastings. Although he has spent most of his life in the Midwestern and Eastern United States, he is no stranger, having spent the summer of 1977 at Hastings. Dean Prunty joined the Hastings administrative staff with an ideal background in law practice, teaching and law school administration, which qualifies him to guide the faculty and direct the academic affairs at the College.

Dean Prunty received his J.D. in 1950 from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and subsequently attended Yale Law School and New York University Law School. Quietude belies the vastness of Dean Prunty's extensive teaching experience in legal education. He has taught at New York University, Vanderbuilt Law School, the University of Wisconsin Law School, the University of Italy in Naples, Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Duke Law School, and, of course, at Hastings College of the Law. Most recently, he has held the position of Dean at the new University of Maine School of Law-a post which gave him perspective in assuming the tasks which loom before him here. Among subjects he has taught are Legal Method, Mortgages, Secured Transactions, Organizing Business En- terprises, Corporations, Securities Regulation, and Non-profit Organizations.

When asked, his comments indicated a knowl- Bert S. Prunty edge of the difficulties which have confronted Dean-Academic Affairs Hastings in its quest to increase voluntary financial support among alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations. Undaunted, he affirmed his support and encouragement of faculty involvement in these fundraising programs which appropriately utilize the unique qualities of academicians to improve the College's climate for giving. He, himself, intends to assume a major role "in doing whatever (he) can to help."

Here is not a new but a familiar face at Hast- ings, with a new hat of responsibilities. Elizabeth Stroube, better known around Hastings as "Libby," has for the past seven years been the guiding force behind the Hastings Alumni As- sociation, beginning as a secretary and advancing through the ranks to become the Director of the Association in 1976. She served as Director until this past July, accumulating a wealth of knowledge and experience in program planning and alumni relations.

In July, she accepted the challenge of becoming the Director of the Annual Fund and the 1066 Foundation. This position was formerly held by Mrs. Lisa I. Pierpoint, who passed away in May as a result of a swimming accident.

Libby Stroube Ms. Stroube is responsible for directing the College's yearly comprehensive fund drive, as Director, Annual Fund and well as assisting with securing support for the College's capital campaign. 1066 Foundation

20 New Faces on Campus by Ester Heinsen

Another addition to the administrative staff is David M. Glen, who assumed the position of Assistant to the Chancellor for Development in March. A 1964 graduate of Stanford University, he has held a number of responsible positions with the Stanford Development Office, including Major Gifts Director for Southern California, Secretary to the Stanford Associates, and Associ- ate General Secretary in charge of Stanford's Major Gift Program.

Mr. Glen has overall responsibility for estab- lishing a comprehensive fundraising office, which includes an Annual Giving Fund, a Cor- porate and Foundation Gifts Program, and a Major Gifts Program, as well as re-organization of the Law Center Capital Campaign. Addition- ally, he oversees the Public Affairs and Alumni Relations components of The Development Of- fice at Hastings. With his track record of fundraising in Stanford University's highly successful "Campaign for Stanford," Glen brings indefatigable enthusiasm for the inherent chal- lenges of developing a successful program for Hastings.

Can a seemingly reserved native from Goose Greek, Texas, run a successful public relations David Glen program for an urban law school? If the past dictates the future, Linda Feinberg, new Director Assistant to the Chancellor of Public Relations for the College, certainly can. for Development Ms. Feinberg has worked behind the scenes in several local political campaigns, notably Supreme Court Chief Justice Rose Bird's North- ern California campaign. She is very active in civic affairs, serving on the Boards of the Y.W.C.A. of San Francisco, Planned Parent- hood, and the Performing Arts Services, a con- sortium of performing art groups in San Francisco. Ms. Feinberg also serves on the Com- mittee on Adult Detention for the City and County of San Francisco.

An awareness of the greater San Francisco community and a sensitivity to its divergent needs are woven into Ms. Feinberg's modus oper- andi. Her interests have always championed improved human relations throughout all segments of the community. She has set about to fully utilize media sources to publicize Hastings' events and accomplishments, encouraging the active participation of faculty, students, alumni and other interested individuals. Ms. Feinberg claims that everything Hastings does impacts on the community, and, therefore, it cannot isolate its activities if improved public opinion of the legal profession is to prevail. "The community Linda Feinberg reaction to Hastings is a necessary consideration whether we like it or not. It bears directly upon Director, Public Affairs everything Hastings does, down to salaries, sab- baticals and better facilities."

21 1979-80 New and Visiting Professors

Gail B. Bird Robert C. Casad

Robert Casad is a visiting professor from the University of Kansas, where he has been a professor since 1959. Professor Casad is teaching two sections of Civil Procedure at Hastings this year. He is a graduate of the University of Kan- sas (A.B. 1950, M.A. 1952), the University of Michigan (J.D. 1957) and Harvard Law School (S.J.D. 1979). Professor Casad is a scholar in Civil Proce- dure, Church-State Relations and Latin Ameri- can Law. He has published numerous books and law review articles in these areas. He is currently working on a book on the execution of foreign judgments in Central America. Although he considers himself a scholar first, Professor Casad is also a handball aficionado, a music lover, and a licensed pilot. When he is not teaching or writing, Professor Casad may be found on the handball challenge court at the local YMCA. At the end of the day, Gail Bird has come full-circle at Hastings: she Professor Casad plays tin pan alley on the piano left Hastings as a graduating student and has or electric organ at home.

She Madeleine, age four. was a staff attorney for the California Court of Appeal from 1974-77. For the last two years, she was an attorney with Rutan & Tucker in Irvine, practicing in the areas of estate planning, estate and gift taxation and probate adminstration. Professor Bird's advice to law students is to take every tax course possible in law school. The tax ramifications of any business deal are always on the client's mind. The fee charged to the client does not appear unreasonable when legal advice results in substantial tax benefit to the client. Professor Bird is a bad tennis player and skis only with trepidation. Her escape is riding horses; she enjoys "English riding" and is currently learning how to jump. The trick, she says, is "staying on." Professor Bird lives in Novato with her husband, Douglas. She enjoys being a full-time professor at Hastings. She will soon be working on an article on comparative marital property systems.

23 Seymour Farber Melissa Nelken Lee

Seymour Farber has lived a complete lawyer's life. He has: seen both sides of the bench; orac- ticed as a government lawyer and private practitioner; handled trial and appellate litigation; prosecuted huge antitrust cases and small pro bono cases; and taught law as well as practiced it. Professor Farber began his legal career as a motions law clerk for the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., in 1955-56. After serving behind the judge's bench, he began to practice before it as an attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice. He argued approximately twenty cases for the Appellate Section of the Civil Division from 1956-60, arguing before all the circuit courts ex- cept the First Circuit. He worked on several peti- tions for writs of certiorari. He was the principal draftsman of the government's amicus brief in the Little Rock school desegregation case.

While we welcome many new members to the Hastings faculty this fall, we must also congratulate one faculty member on the occasion of his leaving. On June 21, Chief Justice Rose Bird announced the confirmation of former Hastings professor Joseph R. Grodin to the office of As- sociate Justice, Court of Appeal, First Appellate District, Division One (San Francisco). Judge Grodin has a rich background in labor law and arbitration, including work as an arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association and service on the original California Agricultural Labor Relations Board. Although the entire Hastings community will miss his invaluable knowledge and expertise, we congratulate Judge Grodin on his appointment and wish him well.
