Oxford Professor Speaks About Rhetoric and Law By JIM SELLERS Staff Writer “If I can give you any advice, it would be that the conclusion is the most important part of your case,” Oxford University profes sor David Daube told University law students Monday night.

Probation Meeting Set All women students who have below a 2.0 GPA and are on aca demic probation are urged to attend the academic probation meeting which will be held on Thursday in the dining room of Carson Hall from 4-5 p.m. vice to the aspiring lawyers. In a lecture to about 90 stu dents, faculty and townspeople, Daube traced the development of rhetoric back to Sicily in the Fifth Century, B.C. Sicily had been sub jected to autocratic rule, and after democracy was restored a court system was established to help redistribute the citizens’ property rights. “People became interested con sciously in public speaking" for the first time. Daube said. From Sicily, rhetoric traveled to southern Italy and finally to Greece where the Sophists es tablished it as a part of their cur riculum, putting the rules of rhetoric into verse. In 62 B. C., however, Romans were forbidden “to teach the dubious art of rhet oric.” The earily rhetorical writers advised lawyers on how they could elicit pity from and (latter their juries, as well as the best ways in which to present cases. Circumstantial evidence and mor al elements began to be admitted in the courts. In conclusion, Daube said that PL-3 to Air New Photography Show The history of photography will be featured in the first three in stallments of “The ^.rt of See ing,’’ a new series which will be broadcast over Private Line Three, beginning today at 8:30 p.m. After concluding the history of photography, the program will study the role of the photographer from a philosophical point of view. Different facets of seeing, such as the aesthetic appreciation of visual impressions, will be dis cussed—and illustrated—on this program, which will be narrated by associate professor of journal ism Bernard Freemesser The journalistic side of photog raphy will be covered as the pro gram considers “how a photo graph communicates,” according to Freemesser. Today’s show will be taped and shown again Friday at 7:30 p.m. “The Art of Seeing” is produced by students. YMCA Dialogue To Cover Viet Nam At today’s YMCA dialogue at 4 p.m. in the Bottom-of-the-Bowl, several students from Southeast Asia will express their views on the U. S. involvement in Viet Nam.
