3 Seminars Set on Law, Psychitary
The complex inter - relationship between psychiatry and the law are being probed in depth in three series of seminars, which began last night at USC.
Conducted jointly by the USC Law Center and School of Medicine, the program of advanced professional studies is part of a five-year demonstration project funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Mental Health.
Each series has 14 sessions, all of which will be held at the Law Center on the USC campus. Although the courses are offered without tuition a $25 registration fee will be charged. Candidates for the master of law degree can earn academic credit for the course by paying {.he standard tuition fee.
The series are:
•	“Seminars in Psychiatry and Personal Injury’ Litigation" — This series will be held Wednesdays. 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., from Feb. 1 to May 10. Instructors are the Hon. William B Keene judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County: Dr. Seymour Pollack, associate professor of psychiatry at the School of Medicine and director of the Institute of Psychiatry and Law; and guest lec-
•	“Seminars in Psychiatry and Family Law" — This series will be held Wednesdays 7:45 to 9:30 p.m., from Feb. 1 through May 10. Instructors are the Hon. Richard F. C. Hayden, judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County; Dr. Pollack; and guest lecturers.
•	“Seminars in Psychology and Law" — This series will be held Thursdays. 7 to 9 p.m. from Feb. 2 through May 11. Instructors are Dr. Jay Ziskin, member of the California Bar, certified psychologist and a member of the American Psychological Association Ad Hoc Committee on Psychology and Law; and guest lecturers.
Both non-immigrant foreign students and students who have petitioned for or been granted permanent resident status can take part in the registration.
Returning students should secure from the Foreign Student Office prior to registration forms for approval to take night classes or to carry less than the minimum load required by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service. These forms must be signed by academic advisers and returned to the Foreign Student Office in order to complete registration.
All alien students must bring their passports with them to receive their registration packets. The files of permanent residents will be marked this semester so that they will not have to follow this procedure in the future.
Registration materials will be released by the Foreign Student Office according to the same alphabetical classification used by the Registrar's Office. Continuing students are urged to consult the Foreign Student Office prior to registration on any problems affecting their registration so that delays will be kept to a minimum.
By RON PRINCE
The 9.000 students expected to begin registration today will find little changed from last year, aside from the added luxury of coffee, which will be available along the torturous registration route.
Registration will be conducted according to the following schedule: I-M, today at 8:30 a.m.; N-R. at 10 am.; S-Z. beginning at 1 p.m.
A-D. tomorrow at 8:30 a.m.; E-H. at 10 a.m.: any letter, at 1 p.m.
Registration will end Saturday at noon.
STATION LOCATIONS
Registration materials will be distributed at Station One, located in 207 Physical Education.
Station Two. at the Health Center, is for new students and those returning after an absence who do not have a health clearance card.
Stations Three and Four, in 210 Physical Education, will be for program advisement and distribution of class cards.
Station 5. in the corridor between the men’s and women's gyms, will be for optional student services such as religious preference. Trojan Marching Band membership and the University Reading Center.
Stations Six through Nine, in 200 Phvsical Education, the men’s gym, will cover verification of classes, assessment of fees, identification photos and scholarships.
Station Ten. for payment of fees, will be located in 202 Physical Education.
As of last week, only 210 of the university's 3.000 classes had been filled. Two had been cancelled.
LATE REGISTRATION
For the percentage of students who goof somewhere along the way. and for the unknown numberof students with ready-made excuses, late
Critical Writing Course Offered To Graduates
A new course in critical writing will be offered this semester under the graduate program of the School of Journalism.
The course will deal primarily with writing and analyzing reviews of plays, motion pictures, television shows and books and wil also include some editorial writing.
Special provisions will be made for students who have the background and the inclination to review art and music.
The class will meet from 6:15 to 8:55 p.m. on Thursdays. <
The instructor will be Roy H. Copperud, associate professor of journalism and a former music critic and editorial - page editor who has also written numerous book reviews for various publications.
Dr. Carl M. Franklin Elected President of Town Hall Forum
registration will be held from Feb.
6-11 for an additional fee of $15 and from Feb. 20-26 for $30.
“We have tried to make the whole procedure easier," Assistant Registrar Mark Frazin said, “by expanding some areas, shortening others, and making greater use of computers."
The familiar complaints will still be heard, however, from the student who waited in line for half an hour and who, when he finally got to the window, was told he didn’t have an adviser's signature.
Or from the student who got his adviser’s signature and got back in time to wait another 20 minutes in line, only to find his second class had already been filled.
The only improvement left for faster registration. Frazin feels, is for the two or three percent who always goof to double-check and make sure they follow instruction correctly.
Or else they can pre-register next time.

Increased Use of Computers In Law Foreseen by Professor
CARL M. FRANKLIN
Financial Affairs Vice-President
Dr. Carl Franklin, vice-president for financial affairs, has been elected president of Town Hall, Los Angeles discussion forum.
Founded 30 years ago, Town Hall’s 4.000 members hear weekly discussions of major issues by local officials and visiting state, national and international figures.
The organization also publishes research studies on such diverse problems as American policy on Red China and California’s bracero problem.
Dr. Franklin, a member of the organization for several years, has served on its Board of Governors and last year completed a term as vice-president.
Also a professor of law, he has been a member of the faculty since 1953 and vice-president since 1960.
He was president of the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities from 1964-66 and is a member of the state’s Loan Study Council.
Computers will never replace lawyers, but those electronic marvels may well revolutionize the practice of law.
This is the prediction of Vaughn C. Ball, Legion Lex professor of law. He foresees a day in the not-too-dis-tant future when a lawyer will write his own computer program, transmit it from his office by direct line to a computer center and have an answer to a legal question in seconds.
Ball believes the computer will be used to search legal literature, analyze problems of law and even simulate legal processes.
The fantastic increase in legal literature will make use of the computer as a tool for information retrieval an absolute necessity Ball said.'
RECORDS INCREASING
“Case records alone are increasing at the rate of 70 million words a year," he explained. “I don’t see how we can possibly disregard the advantages data processing offers. Because the computer can work all of the time and perform with both high' speed and accuracy it can produce results no man could get — only because he would first die of old age.
“Furthermore, with the aid the computer can give, the legal profession can simply do a better job all around.”
Although there are a number of
different systems proposed and developed for retrieval of legal information, all are based on extremely simple computer processes. Ball says. At this time, all are in an experimental stage.
The law professor anticipates resistance from the legal profession to the whole computer idea. But this will be overcome, although it may take a considerable period of time, he believes.
“The concept of a ‘thinking machine’ is distasteful and generates a lot of emotion.
“But I stress that use of the computer in law is strictly a man-ma-chine combination. The machine is only as good as the man who directs it.
“Some lawyers think something will be lost — the ‘feeling and flavor of the profession’ — with the use of computers.
“But I tell these objectors that it’s a matter of net gain, which is unquestionably greater. Somebody will use it, possibly behind their backs, while they’re resisting the trend. I also tell them to wake up, the computer revolution is coming."
Other problems are the tremendous costs of developing programs and storing the material as well as disputes which may arise over the use of copyrighted literature.
Ball said it is clear that individual lawyers will not be able to pay
for the development of automated systems. That cost probably will be paid by foundations, gome of which already have financed research, and possibly by public money as well. He expects developmental work will be done at universities, and that schools of law will reflect the growing trend in their courses of study.
It is not necessary that lawyers become experts with the "hardware"
—	the mechanical complexities of computers themselves — but they must learn about programming. Ball said.
PROGRAMMING KNOWLEDGE
“It is possible to make some use of computers without even knowing anything about the program. But, without programming knowledge, lawyers will have to take what they are given, and they will have no idea whether what they get is the optimum of which the system is capable.
“Further, that means an abdication of responsibility to see that things are done properly."
Ball currently is conducting a computeri2ed simulation cn judicial decisions. The research project is funded by a $34,500 grant from the National Science Foundation. Along with co-principal investigator Reed Lawlor of Los Angeles, Ball seeks to determine regularities present in the decisions of judges, largely at the U.S. Supreme Court level.
