The Sunday Missoulian. November 6. 1977 9 A Necessity Provides Path to Business nn jjjfi eaaBWsslseflsfiaaUH JjfelLg About a year ago, Jim Iverson built a box for the back of his pickup truck to carry suitcases, picnic lunches, his tool box and other such items. This invention brought requests from friends and neighbors, and gradually turned into an additional business for the furniture-maker. The box, which Iverson calls a cab-mate, is custom made to fit any size pickup and comes in two basic models.

One model is built the width and height of the cab, extending down into the pickup box. The other, his first model, fits across the top of the pickup box and does not extend downward into the box. The removable box is made of particleboard and covered with a plastic laminant. It weighs about 250 pounds and can be used for extra passengers, pets, sporting equipment, tools, groceries and can be used as a mini sleeper, Iverson said. He and one other employee can produce one in a day, and he has expanded his marketing area with a salesman who covers six states.

Iverson, who has a B.S. degree in marketing from the University of Montana, has made custom furniture at his business, Iverson Scandinavian, at 410 Curtis the past five years. He has lived in Missoula most of his life, served In the Army and is a pilot. (l New IGA Opens in Lolo Jim Iverson stows a toolbox under his small model cab-mate.

SINCE 1973, only graduates of accredited law schools have been allowed to take the exam. Graduates of the University of Montana Law School in Missoula are automatically admitted to the bar so only out-of-state graduates take the exams. The Montana Supreme Court made exceptions so two perennial applicants to the bar men who had taken only unaccredited correspondence school law courses could take the exam. Jim Mular, a Democratic state representative working as an Amtrak ticket agent in Butte, failed the test for the ninth time. Mular's friend Kenneth D.

Forty-one men passed and 12 failed, for a 77 percent success rate; nine women passed and two failed, for an 82 percent pass rate. At 10:30 a.m. Monday of that week, 56 candidates took their places in the State House of Representatives to begin answering the first of 60 essay questions. Eight more took their places in the Senate chambers to bang out their answers on portable typewriters. FOR THE NEXT two days they worked.

By 5 p.m. Wednesday they were finished. Those who failed would have to wait until October 1978 to try again. The seven-member board of legal examiners immediately began grading the exams, to have the results ready by Thursday afternoon. Every candidate was assigned a number; no names were allowed on ariy answer sheet.

Kathleen Harris Richardson, who had recently moved to Havre, knew she was in luck. Her test number was 13; she was born on the 13th of the month.

CLERK TOM Kearney handed out the news, good and bad, in the hallway. The sheaf of papers he carried had the list of those who had paid $25 to take the once-a-year battery of tests. Five of the original 70 had not shown up for the exams; one man walked out after the first day's work.

Sixty-four candidates 53 men and 11 women finished the test. It was the largest group ever to take the bar exam. And, it included the largest number of women in the test's history.
