The opinion

MR. JUSTICE DOOLEY, specially concurring:

As I stated in a specially concurring opinion in In re Walker (1977), 67 Ill. 2d 48, 52 , wherever the conduct justifies no greater penalty than censure, it should not be memorialized in the opinions of this court. It can be adequately accomplished by an order.

As I point out in my dissent in In re Madsen (1977), 68 Ill. 2d 472, 494-95 , the penalty here is less than imposed in Madsen the same day, although the charges against Madsen were comparably inconsequential.
