Press Release Summary = Los Angeles-based Sports and Entertainment Attorney To Join
Notable Board In Promotion Of Renowned Liberal Arts Program



Press Release Body = (April 18, 2007 – Los Angeles, CA) - It was announced last week
that Saphier, Rein & Walden partner and CEO of Dishon & Walden Associates, Inc.
Richard E. Walden has been elected to the Board of Visitors of TCU’s noted AddRan
College of Humanities and Social Sciences for a term of four years. The College has
produced many notable alumni by providing concentrated liberal arts courses, an
exceptional intern program and formal study abroad.

Mr. Walden has been a member of the California State Bar since 1983 and is a partner
in the Los Angeles-based law firm of Saphier, Rein & Walden where his practice
involves substantial transactional work and civil litigation, including sports,
entertainment, real estate and business matters. He is also the founder, Chief
Executive Officer and General Counsel of the sports agency Dishon & Walden
Associates, Inc. with a concentration on athlete representation. Mr. Walden is also
an adjunct professor of Sports Law for the University of San Francisco, having
taught \"Legal Aspects of Sports\" for USF\'s Masters Degree Program in Sport
Management for over five years.

“I am very excited to be working with my alma mater and the distinguished members
on the Board,” says Walden who counts many top professional athletes among his
clients. “As an attorney and educator I feel strongly that teaching people about a
job or profession is only part of the task -- teaching people about life and
community equally important. AddRan recognizes the importance of each and I am
looking forward to helping the Board fulfill its mission of promoting the value of
a liberal arts education and the worth of humanities and social science studies for
careers and for life.”
In 1873 Addison and Randolph Clark established AddRan Male and Female College in
Thorp Springs, Texas prior to moving to Fort Worth Texas and becoming Texas
Christian University. The AddRan name graced the college that encompassed the
humanities, social sciences, mathematics, natural sciences and engineering for many
years and in 2000, that large collection was divided, forming a new AddRan College
of Humanities and Social Sciences.

The Board includes such notable members as the Honorable Jim Wright, Former Speaker
of the U.S. House of Representatives, United States District Court Judge S. Maurice
Hicks, Jr., novelist Kate Staples Lehrer, Dr. Valerie Neal, Curator for the
Smithsonian Institution, John Robinson, Executive Vice President of the Amon G.
Carter Foundation, Bob Ray Sanders, and Vice President of the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram.
