More or less esrnestncss has been eH-
pressed by the law students OF the uni
versity during the week over tho pros
pect OF having = third year course
added TO the law curriculum OF the
University o. Utah.
ft is said by critics on thc out

in the turning ont of poorly prepared
LAWYERS who are admitted to practice,
and that II more studies were Offered
bv the university, these men who other
wise take the bar examination before
completing their course would continue
their studies in the university and
thereby receive added benefits.
II has come 10 the knowledge Of the
students that il is thought by certain
parties who assist in shaping the pol
icies of the university that more i'll,
trained men will be turned ont by the
school under The third year plan than
now. but The students answer TO this
position is that many Of them are not
