ness decisions: should they spawn satellite pubs; should they venture into the catering business; and should they have on or off-site merchandising? Right about here is where the class projects of Denise Hall, Kim Kessler, Shirley Falley and Carmel Chavez come into play. The four women are enrolled in Soukup's Ent r epreneurship and In- trapreneurship class - one of four courses in USD's fledgling Venture Management Degree Program. "We will use their projects as re- sources to impact the project," Kannenberg said. "We will treat t hem ..{IO differently than outside consulting firms. I look forward to seeing their results." Well, they'll be treated almost no differently than outside consul- tants. Foote won't be paying the students. Denise Hall, who together with Kessler is researching the possibil- ity of establishing satellite pubs, has spent 10 hours a week putting together demographic studies, market studies and financial forecasts since the project was assigned m September. "Someday it would be wonderful to open my own business," she said. "That's why I took the class, so I wouldn't have my hands tied behind my back for lack of infor- mation." Soukup views the assiimmPnt pc tive tes aud1 ce. The projects, he said, are a study in intr apreneurship.

Also in same Volume 1, Number 11 issue of Frolic and Banter comes this: "We're all learning how the law works. Only in those rare moments of leisure can we ponder the origin and nece ity of law. Aside from the obvious reason for law, to give lawyers a secret vocabulary and an inflated income, there is a deeper root. "... Each student deserves the experience of discovering the ap- plication of law by his own effort. Because cheating devalues every student's educational experience, it is our duty to report all incidents. Lawyer's Professional responsibil- ity is upon each of us m this socie- ty. This letter to the editor is a plea for compliance with the Honor Code to anyone who is overwhelm- ed by t he unreasonable desire to cheat." • * *
