recenUy did so with impunity on campus suggests that students' right to burn symbols is tolerated by some universiti . However, unless banned students are able to afford extensive and lengthy legal services, it is doubtful they will have the money necessary to legally challenge their suspen- io . Such court cases can drag on for years. In the meantime, the ag- grieved student usually attends an- other college and graduates. The legal question is then declared moot; the university wins, the student loses. Tbls Is not to imply that USD's mo- tives in nullifying Sigma Chi stu- dents' rights of unfettered expression were less than commendable. It is obvious that USD would like to pre- vent student behavior that bas the potential to debase or revile a per- son, group, or class of citizens on the basis of race, creed, sex, sexual pref- erence, physical, emotional or men- tal handicap, age, or national origin.

University professors are granted tenure as protection of their rights to defend any side of a controversial issue. Is it not inevitable, therefore, that attempts like USD's to provide everyone with a shield against all forms of potential unpleasantness will collide with the commitment of the university to be a marketplace of conflicting ideas? Many prominent universities have adopted codes that specify what is impermissible racial speech. These institutions often require attendance by their students in so-ealled "racial awareness" classes, much like the one USD ordered its Sigma Chi stu- dents to sit in on. It is the assumption by universities that American white males are be- coming more, rather lhan less, racist m their attitudes and behavior that likely drives these Institutions to im- pose an unprecedented level of re- straint on students' civil liberties.

SAN FRANCISCO - San Joaquin Col- lege of L;jw, a non-AmericanBar Associa- tion,accredited law school, had the highest first-time pass rate on the Califor- nia bar for the second year in a row, and the pass rate for first-time ethnic minority applicants was up significantly as well. Among major, ASA-approved Califor- nia law schools, the.Univcrsit of Califor• nia law schools at erkeley and Davis ha Charts showing bar pass rates by school, race and sex appear on Page 20. the highest rates of passage on the July 1989 exam, according to statis tics re- leased Wednesday by the State Bar. 'Tm thrilled, primarily because the hard work of our students and faculty paid off," said San Joaquin Oean Jan Pearson, whose school is accredited by the State Bar. She explained that the size of the school and its geographic isolation make people work together. " The school is very close knit so that no one wants to be the one who doesn't pass," saidPearson. San Joaquin's pass rate of 95.2 percent for first-time bar applicants beat the 93. 7 percent pass rate recorded by first-time takers at U. C. Davis and 92 .3 perce'nt at U.C. Berkeley's Boa)t Hall. , LJSC Law Center, with a pass rate ol 86.-t pet cent among t'rrst-time applicants, finished third among the state's 16 major, ABA-approved law schools. Among those schools, Stan[nrq \lil!S·R>illltl,•witli' a 'pass rate 0(86 percent among first-t imE takers. The statistics rele11sed Wednesdai were based on totals for the exam giver last July. Atotal of 6,997 people took that exam, with 4,164 or 59.5 percent pass· ing, up 6.9 percent from July, 1988, when 3,775 of 7,166 passed. Of this year's first-time takers, 72.2 percent passed, comP.ared with 71.5 percent last July. According to the bar, minority groups showed large gains this year. The per- centage of black first-time takers passing this July rose to 40.7 percent, up signifi- cantly from 30.l percent in 1988. The rate for His panic first-time takers was also up sharply, from 43.1 in 1988 to 53.7 percent this year. In 1987 the Hispanic first-time rate was 43.7. The rate for Asian first-time takers rose less dramatically, from 54.3 percent last year to 59.8 percent. The rate for Asians had been higher in the past - 63.7 percent in 1987. · In all, the bar said that among the 4,675 first-time takers there were 189. black& 229 Hispanics, and 234 (l.slans.
