Facing a Sea ofWhite Faces in Law School 4 THEASSOCIATED PRESS “ BERKELEY, Calif. — Sometimesin herclassesat the University of California's Boalt Hall lawschool, Jennifer Madden would find herself catching the eye ofa fellow black student “Wecould just look at each other and we'd have the samelook,”’ said Madden, one of 31 blacks who enrolled at Boalt in 1994. She can’t imagine whatit’s going to be like this fall, when only one black student is expected in the incoming class of 270 — thefirst group admitted since the University of California endedaffirmative action. “Being one of31, I still felt that I had support and I had guidance. One — there'sdefinitelya lot of implications,” said Madden, spring who graduated this dents compared with last year’s 31; UCLA was ex pecting 10, down from 19. Last year, 20 blacks a ote ‘ifty joined Boalt's incomingclass. Latino enrollment dropped from28 to 14 at Boalt 42 to 21 at Texas and 45 to 41 at UCLA. In addition to the higher admissions standards, officials blamed the decreaseonbetter offers from private universities, student concerns that they puses and fear of being stranded in a sea of white. Race-based admissions at the Texas law school were banned bya federal appeals-court ruling, while the University of California system voted in 1995 to eliminate racial preferences. The policy first took effect with graduate students entering in 1997. It won't apply to undergraduatesuntil 1998. Nationally, law-school applications from all races dropped about 9 percent. But the drop-off was steep- i At Boalt, 27 percent fewer blacks applied, 304 vs. 414, and 24 percent fewer Latinos, 355 vs. 467. Of those, 14 blacks were admitted, down 81 percent from 1996, and 39 Latinos, down 50 percent. losing Justin is everybit as pain- ful, if not more painful, than the physical stab wounds of the heart,” Albertsen said. Justin, 19, and his brother, Matthew, 22, separately committed in Germanyon a student visa, he pornography toJustin on his 19th birthday, along with a birthday card andtwoletters. The sexual abuse andits aftermath destroyed the Wilke family, prosecutors said. (The boys’ mother movedto Florida, has not been involved in the case and couldn't be reached for comment.) The boys’ father, Don Wilke, 56, committed suicide two days before Thanksgiving in 1995 by running a tube from the exhaust pipeinto his car. Thefollowing year, Justin and Matthewdid the same. On Feb. 8, 1996, Justin was foundin hiscar. On Aug. 15, 1996, Matt’s body was discovered in his brother's car. Third versary Sale?
