TONG In some quarters, it’s the first 100 days of an administration that tests the mettle of leadership. But true growth and change takes time – and a cast of thousands. I have never been more cognizant of the crucial value of partnership than now as I approach the first anniversary of my tenure as Dean. Much has been accom- plished with support from many people — the University and SEAS administration, faculty, alumni, and students. In my first 100 days, I developed a strategic for SEAS.

LAU Student Representative EVERETT R. EMINO EDWARD L. PETRINI Student Representative HORACE C. KING KERMIT H. SMITH Following the close of the 1969 Winter term, approximately seven weeks are required to complete the processing of academic records and the preparation of diplomas. Based on this schedule, diplomas will be mailed in May, 1969. COMMENCEMENT 1969 Sunday, March 9 University Auditorium, East-Lansing The pageantry and color at commencement exercises reveal a record of ACADEMIC academic achievement of the various individuals taking part in the exercises. The following brief description is given that the audience might more readily COSTUME interpret such achievement. In 1895, the Intercollegiate Commission, a group of leading American educators, met at Columbia University to draft a code which would serve to regulate the design of gowns and hoods indicating the various degrees as well as the colors to indicate the various faculties. This code has been adopted by most of the colleges and universities in America and its use has made identification of scholastic honors an immediate activity. Three types of gowns are indicated by the code. Those worn by the bachelors are made of black worsted material and have long, pointed sleeves. Those worn by masters may be made either of black silk or black wool and have long, closed sleeves with the arc of a circle near the bottom. The arm goes through a slit, giving the appearance of short sleeves for the master's gown.

  • Copyright in an Era of Information Overload: Toward the Privileging of Categorizers
    Brooklyn Law School BrooklynWorks Faculty Scholarship 1-2007 Copyright in an Era of Information Overload: Toward the Privileging of Categorizers Frank Pasquale Follow this and additional works at: https://brooklynworks.brooklaw.edu/faculty Part of the Science and Technology Law Commons Copyright in an Era of Information Overload: Toward the Privileging of Categorizers Frank Pasquale 60 Vand. L. Rev. 135 (2007) Environmental laws are designed to reduce negative externalities (such as pollution) that harm the natural world. Copyright law should adjust the rights of content creators in order to compensate for the ways they reduce the usefulness of the information environment as a whole. Every new work created contributes to the store of expression, but also makes it more difficult to find whatever work one wants. "Search costs" have been well- documented in information economics and addressed by trademark law. Copyright law should take information overload externalities like search costs into account in its treatment of alleged copyright infringers whose work merely attempts to index, organize, categorize, or review works by providing small samples of them. These categorizers are not "'free riding" off the labor of copyright holders. Rather, they are creating the navigational tools and filters that help consumers make sense of the ocean of expression copyright holders have created. The new scholarship of cultural environmentalism lays the groundwork for a better understanding of the costs, as well as the benefits, of copyrighted expression. Any expression that signals something to one who wants exposure to it may constitute noise to thousands of others. By modeling information overload as an externality imposed by copyrighted works generally, this article attempts to provide a new economic justification for more favorable legal treatment of categorizers, indexers, and reviewers.

Swire Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarship.law.umn.edu/mlr Part of the Law Commons Recommended Citation Swire, Peter P., "The urS prising Virtues of the New Financial Privacy Law" (2002).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Minnesota Law Review collection by an authorized administrator of the Scholarship Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Surprising Virtues of the New Financial Privacy Law Peter P. Swiret The financial privacy law passed by Congress in 1999 has been the target of scathing criticism. On one side, banks and other financial institutions have complained about the high costs of the billions of notices sent to consumers, apparently to widespread consumer indifference.1 On the other side, privacy advocates have condemned the law as woefully weak, and some have argued that its so-called privacy provisions actually re- sulted in weakening privacy protection.2 This Article disagrees with the criticisms. The new finan- cial privacy law, known more formally as Title V of the Gramm- Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLB), works surprisingly well as pri- vacy legislation. It does so in ways that address legitimate in- dustry concerns about excessive cost and barriers to needed in- formation. In addition, the ability of states to draft additional legislation in the area means that an effective mechanism ex- ists to correct the key weaknesses of the law over time.
